Choosing a major at Findlay

Assessments and Resources

Career assessments are one of many resources used to help students identify possible interest areas and majors to explore. Assessments are given after an initial meeting with the Director of Career  Services to determine the best strategy to serve the individual student. There is no charge for career interest assessments or individual career couseling.

The assessment tools used most frequently include:

  • Holland types and their Findlay majors
  • The DISCOVER system from ACT
  • MBTI Assessment / Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
What is DISCOVER?

 

DISCOVER from ACT is a licensed, copyrighted web-based system for career guidance and career information. Once you are issued your USER ID, the system may be accessed from any computer with web access 24/7/365. There is no cost to the student.

 

DISCOVER includes:

  • Online assessments for identifying your interests, abilities and job values
  • Recommendations of career fields that may be a good match for you using ACT’s World-of-Work Map
  • Complete and current databases of information about occupations

When you log on to DISCOVER for the first time, the system will establish a Personal Career Portfolio for you that preserves your assessment results for your future use.
