Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory® is a powerful tool to help you brainstorm ideas about education & careers. The assessment measures your INTERESTS, not your skills or abilities. You can take the Strong Interest Inventory® by making an appointment with a Career Advisor at the ICD office: ADM 230, 617-735-9930, careerdevelopment@emmanuel.edu. Meet with the Career Advisor for instructions and to obtain the required password.
ICD Lending Library
