may want to explore.
Instructions
Read each question about work activities of various professions and decide how you
would feel about doing each type of activity (Strongly Dislike, Dislike, Unsure, Like,

education/training to do the work, nor how much money you would make doing it.
Just think about whether you like or dislike doing the work.
This is not a test!

There are no right or wrong answers and no need to rush! You are learning about
your interests so you can explore job options you might like and find rewarding.
Select the Next button to begin. There are 60 questions and five screens. Please
answer all questions before moving to the next screen. You can change your
answers at any time by selecting the Back button to return to an earlier screen.
You dont have to click on the bubbles, clicking on the words will record your
response as well.
Use the Back and Next buttons at the bottom of the page to move forward and
