Explore Your Interests / Self Assessment

Finding a career path that is a great fit for your professional interests, values and skills is key to job fulfillment. The Academic Success and Career Center offers a number of self-assessments that can help you with this process. We encourage you to talk to career coach about assessments including: Focus 2, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Strong Interest Inventory and Clifton Strengths for Students.

Focus 2 is a free assessment for all WSU students and provides information on your unique work interests, values, personality and skills.

You also have the opportunity to explore your interests and engage in self-assessment through UNIV 100 and UNIV 301, courses led by ASCC instructors.
