Evaluation: Interests
There are many interest inventories to use. They ask questions about things that a
student may find interesting and compile these into a taxomony which will point to a
'personality type' or to career paths. Many are available on the web. These
web-based products are for the most part free of charge.
Here are the links to some tests. You may find more by searching the web.
