Keirsey Temperament Sorter – KTS/II  This personality assessment is based on Keirsey Temperament Theory, which divides people into four “temperaments:” guardian, idealist, rational and artisan. The assessment measures how people communicate and what their actions tend to be.

MyPlan.com  This assessment can help you identify your motivations and what’s really important to you in your career. By ranking different aspects of work the results can encourage you to look at jobs or industries you may not have considered before.

Big Five personality assessments divide people into five personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. The assessment identifies a preference out of the five and can help you identify learning styles as well as work preferences.  Be prepared to participate in a research project if you opt for this one, but its fun, fast and revealing.
