Career Assessment Inventory™ – Enhanced Version

AGE: 15-Adult

The Career Assessment Inventory – Enhanced Version assessment compares an individual’s occupational interests to those of individuals in 111 specific careers that reflect a broad range of technical and professional positions in today’s workforce. The inventory is used by guidance counselors to help students and adults develop career and study plans, and by psychologists and human resource professionals to advise individuals on career development.

How to Use This Inventory

This inventory can be used to help:

• Teach students to focus on the patterns of interest that are important in making educational and occupational choices
• High school and college students identify career directions and major areas of study
• Advise individuals who are re-entering the workforce, considering a career change, or who have been displaced

Key Features

• Easy to administer, taking only about 40 minutes to complete.
• Graphic and narrative test reports can be shared with the client and the narrative report provides a 3-page counselor’s summary.
• Combined gender scales allow for the broadest interpretation of survey results.
• The inventory closely matches the distribution of professional and nonprofessional jobs in the labor force, making it well-suited for assessing groups with a variety of career aspirations (e.g., complete high school populations).
