This Aptitude Test Finds Careers That Match Your Skills and Interests


Most of us have a variety of skills and interests, which makes choosing a career path tricky. Rasmussen College's free online career aptitude test lets you rank your skills or interests and then suggests matching careers.

It's less of a "test," really, than it is a simple tool. Adjust the sliders and the results will rank occupations based on your particular mix. The downside is that your skills are self-reported, rather than tested through actual aptitude tests as some other career assessments tests do. However, it takes into consideration not just your skills but also interests, and suggestions are based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the results, you can get an overview of each occupation's median salary, projected job growth, and education requirements. The tool complements the college's interactive chart of careers by salary and job growth. So even if you're not completely sure what you want to do with your life yet, at least you can explore your options.
