PathwayU

PathwayU looks similar, but is very different from assessments you may have taken in the past.

PathwayU is not a skill, abilities, or aptitude inventory. Instead, it’s a platform you can use at any age, empowered by a predictive algorithm to help guide you to an educational choice, help with career exploration, and find employment pathways where you will live with the greatest sense of purpose.

Your online account contains assessments, personal reports, a job-matching instrument, and “how-to” tools designed to help you navigate the education through career journey and shape a future work-life in ways that will make it meaningful. 

Cost: Free

CliftonStrengths

This assessment (formerly known as Strengthsfinder) indicates your top 5 themes of talent from a list of 34 themes determined by research to be ways in which people are successful in their work. This is a great assessment for a wide range of students and alumni. Research shows that people who focus on using their strengths are 6 times as likely to be engaged in their jobs.

Note: Gallup strongly advises against re-taking this, except in rare circumstances. If you have taken this in the past few years, sign in to see your reports on the CliftonStrengths website. Excellent for a wide range of students and alumni.

Cost: $15
