Whats the Strong Interest Inventory?
The Strong is an interest inventory that compares your likes and dislikes with people who are working in various professions. The Strong began in the 1920s as an attempt to match military recruits with jobs that fit their interests. The idea was, you’re likely to be a better cook if you like cooking. Rather than interviewing everyone, people could take the test and make the process much faster and more efficient. The same method is used today – matching people and jobs. The idea is you will likely enjoy work where your interests are similar to people already working in various fields. The people who were surveyed to create the Strong have been working in their careers at least 3 years, are satisfied with their work, and do work that is typical of that profession.
