Career Assessment
Some of the most useful tests describe your personality and relate it to choice of a major or career.  Understanding your personality type is also helpful to understanding how you relate to other people and to an appreciation of the differences in other types. 

The online Do What You Are Self Discovery Assessment is similar to the  Myers-Briggs.   It assists students with analyzing their personality types in order to make a decision about future careers.  It provides useful personality profiles and career information to help students in choosing a major.  It also provides information on communication preferences and learning styles.
