The Career Interests Profiler assesses your interest in a variety of activities, industries and occupations to identify potential career paths and areas of study. It is based on your individual preferences and is intended as a general guide to support your career exploration. This career assessment tool is suitable for a wide range of people and contains an extensive database of careers and areas of study.

The Career Interests Profiler was developed by Katie Roberts (B Sc. (Psych & Mgmt), MBTI®, CDAA). Katie is the Director of Katie Roberts Career Consulting and a professional member of the Career Development Association of Australia.

“When I first started working as a Career Consultant, I tested a number of career assessments to find a suitable one to use with my clients. Unfortunately the majority of assessments I tested produced inaccurate results. As a result, I developed my own career assessment tool, aiming to accurately identify potential careers and areas of study based on an individual’s interests and values.

Since launching the Career Interests Profiler, people from a wide range of backgrounds have taken the assessment to help support them with their career exploration. The feedback has been very positive with a number of Career Advisors and Employment Consultants now recommending it to their clients.” 

How does it work?

The career assessment takes approximately 20 minutes and involves rating your level of interest in a variety of activities, industries and occupations from strongly like to strongly dislike.

The Reports

The results in your Career Interests Report and Career Personality Report are based on the responses you provided in the online questionnaires. Please note that the Career Interests Profiler and the Career Personality Profiler are not psychometric tests. They are career tools designed to help you explore your personal preferences. The information provided in these reports is intended as a general guide only and should not be used or relied upon as the sole basis for making career decisions.

After completing the career assessments, we recommend you research your career options in detail and get professional advice tailored to your personal circumstances. Find out what each role involves on a daily basis, the education or training required, current and future job opportunities, industry trends and potential salaries. Speaking with professionals currently working in these fields can also provide valuable insights.

Why should I take this career assessment tool?

According to a study conducted by Professor Charles Birch and Management Consultant David Paul, titled ‘Life and Work,’ 88% of people are dissatisfied with their job. Unhappiness at work not only affects you, it also affects your family and friends.

Considering the number of hours we work each week, it is important that we find a job that interests us. Life is short! Why not enjoy each day rather than spend every week looking forward to the weekend?

Our career assessment identifies potential career paths and areas of study based on your personal preferences, providing you with a lifestyle choice, not just a job.

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer
