The Interest Profiler has a series of questions
about work activities that some people do on their
jobs. Your job is to read each question carefully
and decide whether or not you would like to do the
work activity. By answering the questions, you can
identify your interests.
As you make your choices on The Interest Profiler
try not to think about whether you have enough
education or training to perform the activity or how
much money you would make performing the activity.
Simply think about whether you would like or dislike
doing the work activity if you had a chance to do
it.
THIS IS NOT A TEST. THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG
ANSWERS. YOU CAN TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED.
The only goal is for you to learn about your
interests so you can explore work that might be
satisfying and rewarding to you.
There are 180 questions. Select an option below to

Profiler button will become active. Clicking
this will allow you to resume answering
questions where you left off. If you have

button will become active. Clicking on this
button will take you the back to the listing of
