Answer honestly—there are no “right” answers
Don’t rely on just one test; try 2–3 for better insight
Use results as a guide, not a final decision
Talk with your advisor or parent about your results

What to Do After You Take a Test

1. Research 2–3 careers that match your results
2. Look into required education or training
3. Explore related high school courses or certifications
4. Set a small goal (job shadow, career video, etc.)

Advisor Tip

Career tests don’t define your future—they help you discover possibilities.
Your interests may grow and change, and that’s completely normal. The
goal is to start exploring early so you can make informed decisions later.
