I took the focus 2 assessment and it helped me a lot with thinking what my career in life would be. There were about five different assessments that gave various different questions and in the end gives an overview of your answers. the five different assessments were about my values, personality, interests. Each assessments helped me understand how involved I was in each topic. The career assessments was meant to capture far I’ve gotten in terms of working and work related skills. The personality assessments tried to get an understanding of what I liked and what possible jobs I could get into. the interests assessments tried to categorize me into different sections allowing me to understand exactly the things I liked as well as things I didn’t like. Putting it all together it was a really helpful way of understanding where I am right in. It gave me an insight of exactly what I needed to do and things I could do to get to that point. The assessments also described many different terms to me that many people commonly thought was one thing but was in fact another. It gave a clear grid of what a good job for me looked like. Things like transportation, income, free time , many other things that I have’t even thought about. Directly talking about my interest really made me think about the things I enjoyed and things I hated. Overall it was a really helpful assessment.
