Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory® instrument is a powerful tool that can help you make
satisfying decisions about your career and education.
Whether you are just starting out in your career, thinking about a change, or considering
education options for career preparation, you can benefit from the wealth of information
reflected in your Strong Interest Inventory® results.
Understanding your Strong Profile can help you identify a career focus and begin your
