Career Personality Inventory

The self-scoring Career Personality Inventory matches personality types to career and work preferences to help guide career searches.

The Career Personality Inventory then helps users consider how their personalities relate to their careers by focusing on their top two traits. Users can match their personality types to careers and work preferences and then use the career planning guide and worksheet to set goals and start their career research.

What It’s Best Used For

This inventory serves as an excellent diagnostic tool and icebreaker for career counselors, academic advisors, and workforce development centers looking to jumpstart client self-discovery and goal-setting.

• Innovative Word-Circling Format: Instead of boring test-takers with long, repetitive survey statements, the test uses a simple method where individuals simply circle the descriptive words that match their personality and tally up the results.
• Focusing on Top Traits: Once completed, the assessment narrows the user’s focus down to their top two personality traits to clearly demonstrate how their natural behavior patterns directly relate to different professional industries.
• Built-In Action Planning: The assessment is fully consumable, self-scoring, and self-interpreting, featuring an integrated career planning guide and active worksheet to help clients establish concrete goals and guide their independent career research.
• Frictionless Office Administration: Because it requires absolutely no computer software or outside testing hardware, it can be graded instantly by hand in individual or group workshop settings. The test is entirely legal for use in Canada.

The Career Personality Inventory (CPI) is based on the personality types created by Carl Jung (and later adapted by Meyers and Briggs for the MBTI) that have been used in a wide variety of educational and counseling situations for decades. The Career Personality Inventory uses a simple and innovative testing method requiring test takers to simply circle words that describe them and then total the number of descriptors circled.

Valid and reliable, the CPI provides a powerful and cost-effective alternative to any organization using similar but more expensive personality inventories.

Self-scoring, self-interpreting and consumable, no other components needed.
