My career goal is to be an Astronomer, and work for NASA. An Astronomer is a scientist who studies the universe, using scientific equipment. One reason why this career is a good fit for me is because I have always loved science, and space has always fascinated me. I am also good at working with numbers, and an Astronomer often uses math in their job. I have dreamed of having this career since 3rd or 4th grade, and I would enjoy it. Another reason why this job is a good fit for me is because I would work in a group, or teach students as part of my job, which are some of my strengths. My results from my second assessment told me that I enjoy talking about ideas and trading perspectives with others. So, working with a group of other Astronomers who share the same interests as me would be rewarding. I also think I would be good at teaching others about Astronomy, because I like teaching my parents and grandparents about what I am doing in school. I enjoy helping others when they are having trouble with something as well, like math homework. Lastly, I think Astronomy would be a good career for me, because my test results showed that I like to take an active approach to learning, and I would learn a lot about space in this job, using telescopes, and other equipment. I would also learn about new technologies used to observe things in space. That is why Astronomy would be a good career choice for me.

The college I would like to attend to become an astronomer is Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. This college is not too far away from home, and offers Physics as a major, which I would have to take to become an Astronomer. I would also have to get at least a master's degree, which Bowling Green offers. Other colleges, like the University of Pittsburgh, offer majors in Physics and Astronomy, too, if I wanted to transfer colleges. That is what colleges I can attend and what major I would need to get to become an Astronomer.

The top three career fields that were suggested for me from my test results, were Science, The Arts, and Education. Some careers that sounded interesting to me in the Science field were Astronomer, Oceanographer, and Physicist. I looked into a career as an astronomer, and an astronomer is a scientist who studies the universe. They have to get at least a bachelor's degree in physics or science, then they work toward getting a Ph.D. In The Arts field, a career as a Photographer, Chocolatier, or Historical Conservationist sounded interesting to me. Looking into a career as a Chocolatier, I found that they create new chocolate creations daily. You have to go to culinary school to get an associate's degree to become one, but community colleges and vocational schools also offer training courses for this career. In the Education field, I found that a career as a College Professor, Librarian, or Middle School Teacher sounded interesting. Looking into a career as a Librarian, I found that they assist others to help them find information. A master's degree in Library science is usually required to become a Librarian. Those are my results from the first Career Test I took.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Access Your Prior Test Results

Question: Is this resource test useful for students as well as adults?

Answer: The free career tests in this resource are useful for students and adults for career exploration. School districts, colleges, and workforce centers use this with their students and clients for career research. The content is written at an 8th-grade level when possible and is most easily understood by students that are at least 13 years of age and older. Some schools do use this as a resource with students that are younger than 13 to get them interested in STEM careers. However, younger students that are not in high school yet should be supervised when taking any of the tests so any questions can be explained if necessary. Also, some careers are more technical than others and younger students may find the terminology a bit more difficult to understand, especially in the job description.

Question: How much time does it take to complete the free career tests?

Answer: They are designed to take no more than five minutes to eliminate test fatigue. Some free career tests can be completed in as little as two or three minutes. Our flagship free career test is our most popular and may take the full 5 minutes for an adult or student to complete. All career tests can be taken on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. However, it may take users on a smartphone or small tablet a minute longer to complete.

Question: Can you share more about the results page?

Answer: Immediate access to your results is provided directly after completing the questions. The results page has interest scores associated with each category the user was evaluated against. A person may receive identical interest scores in multiple categories. It's useful to consider each career category with a high-interest score and consider careers that blend of two career categories. For example, if a high-interest score is given in the healthcare and technology career categories, consider jobs that blend the two, such as healthcare data scientists, biotechnology, or genetics.

Question: How easily can the free career test results be shared with others?

Answer: It's easy to share any of the free career tests on this resource with others. There are a few ways a person can share and save their results. First, each report contains a unique link to access the results anytime. It's important to write this short, unique code down for future reference. It's easy enough to text to yourself, write on a piece of paper or email. This unique code can be shared with friends, family, or teachers. Any time in the future a person can visit this website and submit the code to see the results.

All career test pages and this home page have an input text field to add the code. The results are also print-friendly. Some students are asked to take the test and turn in results as homework. Students with printer access can use their browsers File > Print functionality to print their career test reports. The report can also be saved as a PDF by using the browsers File > Print > Save as PDF option. Finally, a unique URL is also provided on each of the results pages. If a person would like to share their career test results with others over Social Media, they can copy and paste their unique link into the platform of their choice.

Question: What if a student loses their career test results?

Answer: We have received this question a few times. Though this resource is useful for adults and students, we strive to make it as student-friendly as possible. This is why personal identifiable information is not collected to take a free career test or access the results. There is no registration or email required. Because of this, if a user misplaced their unique code or the unique link to their test, it is impossible for YourFreeCareerTest to retrieve it. The person must take the career test again. The good news is all career tests take 5 minutes or less to complete.

Question: What are some of the benefits of this resource?

Answer: These career test results are free, student-friendly, and do not require any personal information or payment to take the test. There is also no fee to 'unlock' a more robust test result page. Everything is free to use on this site with zero cost. Accessing the career test results at a later time via a unique link is also free and this capability does not require personally identifiable information to be shared either.

This free resource does earn revenue through college leads if a person wants to find a college and request information from that college. Finding a college is completely optional and not a requirement to gain access to the career tests or the free test results. These funds support YourFreeCareerTest to improve existing functionality, develop useful features, add content, and pay for hosting costs.

Question: How long are the results relevant?

Answer: Career interests change over time. As students and adults are exposed to new people, places, and careers, the may experience a shift in interests. If any test on YourFreeCareerTest over a year ago, it's a good idea to retake it.

Question: What should a person do after they take a free career test?

If someone took our flagship career test, they may find it useful to take one of the other free career tests that can narrow down their career interests even further. For example, there is a health career test, technology career test, art career test, business career test, and trade career test.

Career research is a logical first step to take after completing a career test. Our page is useful as once a user selects a broad career category, they can filter the careers by education level to help narrow down their career research. Here's a rule of thumb though. The higher the education a career requires to gain an entry-level position, the more the job often pays.

Question: Do you have translations for the free career tests?

Answer: YourFreeCareerTest stopped providing translations as major web browsers shifted to include translation services in hundreds of languages. Chrome is one such browser and can be used on a laptop, desktop computer, or downloaded as an app on a tablet or smartphone. To ensure accessibility of content, videos located in the career results have the videos correlating text under the video so the browser can translate the information. This is also important for those using screen readers as their test result content will also be read to them. Learn more about how Google Chrome translates webpages.

16Personalities: What Did/Didn't Surprise Me

# data[].attributes.body
One thing about my results that surprises me is that it is the rarest type of personality. This shows that I am unique, because not a lot of people fit into this personality type. I was also surprised by how well this personality describes me. I care about others and their feelings a lot, and I am a perfectionist. I do care about the world, and I have always wished for peace. I am encouraged that most Advocates seem to stay on track to achieve their dreams. I have big dreams for my life, and as long as I focus on what I want to do, anything is possible. One thing that doesn't surprise me is some of the famous people who fit into this personality type. Martin Luther King Jr, Morgan Freeman, and Aragon (from the series “The Lord of the Rings”), are all famous Advocates. I can tell that they care for others, and that they work hard to achieve their dreams. It also didn’t surprise me that Advocates can work in any field. Really any job can be useful in helping others. Those are things about my results that surprised me, and things that didn’t.

16Personalities: Suggested Career Paths 

# data[].attributes.body
As an Advocate, I am able to fit into almost any type of career, but a path that aligns with my values, and one without material gain would suit me best. Since Advocates like me have a desire to help and connect with others, a career as a counselor, psychologist, teacher, social worker, yoga instructor, and spiritual leader are suggested. Careers in healthcare, especially in more holistic varieties, were also suggested. Advocates are strong communicators too, so careers in writing, music, photography, design, and art are suggested. These careers can help Advocates like me to focus on personal growth and purpose. But, no matter which field I fit into, I can find ways to help others and use my creativity. Those were career paths that were suggested for my personality type.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my weaknesses of being an Advocate is that I can be soft-spoken and private, so I sometimes find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable about my struggles. I can feel that I don’t want to burden others with my own issues, or that I need to solve problems on my own. When this happens, I may unintentionally hold myself back or create distance in my relationships. Another one of my weaknesses is that I can be sensitive to criticism. If someone were to challenge my beliefs or principles, I may react strongly. I can feel very stressed and become defensive in the face of conflict and criticism, especially when the issue is near to my heart.

Lastly, one of my weaknesses is that I am perfectionistic. I would like an ideal situation for everyone, but that is not always possible. So, I may find it difficult to appreciate my living situations or relationships if I am continually fixed on trying to make things better. I may feel that I cannot rest until I have achieved my version of success. This can lead to “burnout “and leave me feeling ill-tempered. I can get exhausted if I don’t find a good balance between helping myself and others. Those are some of the weaknesses of my personality type.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my strengths of being an Advocate is that I am very passionate about pursuing my goals, which helps me to achieve my dreams. I rarely settle for “good enough”, and I have a willingness to “disrupt the status quo”. I take concrete steps to realize my goals, making a lasting impact on the world. Another one of my strengths is that I am insightful. I look past people’s appearances and focus on who they really are inside.This gives me an ability to understand their true motivations, feelings, and needs. In this way I can empathize with others and help them to cope with their struggles.

As an Advocate, I am principled, meaning I have deeply held beliefs. I like to communicate about the subjects that matter most to me, so a career in media, such as  writing books, blogs, stories and screenplays, may be good for me. Advocates like me have been compelling and inspiring communicators, with their idealism and dreams persuading even the hardest of skeptics. We also have creative personalities, and enjoy finding the perfect solution for the people they care about. I have a vivid imagination and a strong sense of passion that helps me to think up these ideal solutions. This imagination can also be used to think up solutions to global issues. Lastly, one of my strengths is being altruistic, meaning that I want to use my abilities for the greater good. I rarely enjoy succeeding at other people’s expense, and I think about how my actions affect them. I feel that my purpose in life is to help others, and make the world a better place. Those are some of the strengths of my personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at my scores, one thing I have learned about myself which may be helpful in assessing my strengths and weaknesses as a college student, is that I have a love for learning. I like to be a “hands-on” learner, so I like to do activities to get involved with what I am learning. Things like discussions, in-class activities, and even homework helps me to learn about a subject. So, a college with bigger classes where the teacher lectures may not be the best for me. Also, I like to read about a variety of topics, and I enjoy learning for the sake of learning. I like sharing my ideas with others too, so a college that has classes where I can discuss topics with others would be good for me. Lastly, I like school, and I am anticipating college. I like going to school, and I do well with note-taking, reading, writing, and prioritizing, which will help me in college. I am excited for the college experience, which will make adjusting to college easier because of my enthusiasm. This anticipation should grow by the time I am in high school, because I will be closer to my time in college. That is what I have learned about my scores that might be helpful in assessing my strengths and weaknesses as a college student.

College Road Trip Reflection: Things That Would Prevent Me From Going to College 

# data[].attributes.subject
College Road Trip Reflection: Things That Would Prevent Me From Going to College 

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that might prevent me from going to college is the cost. The cost for just one year can be expensive; over 70,000 dollars in some private schools. This means you have to start saving for college at a young age, or take out loans to pay what your parents do not. Another thing that might prevent me from going to college is the fact that some colleges have a very low acceptance rate- some as low as 27 percent! Most of these colleges are private colleges, so if I wanted to go to one and they have a low acceptance rate, they may not even accept me! I would have to get high grades throughout high school, which is achievable, but is hard work. Lastly, not being able to have a car at some colleges might prevent me from going. Some colleges offer parking, but you have to have a permit, and others don’t let you have a car at all! So, if I wanted to drive back and forth between college and home, I may have to have a permit for my car. Or, I may not even be able to have a car at all until I am older. Those are some things that might prevent me from going to college.

College Road Trip Reflection: Things I Have Learned About Colleges 

# data[].attributes.subject
College Road Trip Reflection: Things I Have Learned About Colleges 

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I have learned about colleges from my research is how much they actually cost. The tuition, housing, and other costs, like food, that we looked up is only for one year at that college. So, if it costs 70,000 dollars for one year, it will cost at least 280,000 dollars for four years! That is as expensive as the cost of a house! So, I realized how important it is to save up for college. I also learned about housing options at colleges. You don’t just have to stay in a dorm- you can stay in an apartment, or a fraternity or sorority house. I had thought that your only options were to stay in a dorm, or drive to college from home. So, there are many different options for where to stay in college. Lastly, I learned that there are a lot of activities at colleges besides sports. You can be in a concert band, you can be part of making a magazine, and you can even be part of a radio station! This really stuck out to me, because I am not really into sports, though I like watching them, so I can do different activities, like band, that I would enjoy more. I never realized that there were so many activities you can do! Those are some things I have learned about college and why they stuck out to me.

College Road Trip Reflection: College I Liked the Least

College Road Trip Reflection: College I Liked the Least 

# data[].attributes.body
The college I liked the least was Case Western Reserve University, in Ohio. One reason why I liked it the least was because of how hard it would be to get into it. It costs the most out of all of my colleges; over 70,000 dollars, and has the lowest acceptance rate of 27 percent. I would have to pay a lot every year, and they may not even accept me because they seem to be picky. Another reason why I liked this college the least is because it is not in an ideal location. It is in or near Cleveland, which is a very large city. My ideal college would be in a smaller city, or a more rural area, without the businesses of the big city. That is why Case Western University was the college I liked the least.

College Road Trip Refection: College I Liked the Best

College Road Trip Refection: College I Liked the Best

# data[].attributes.body
Of the colleges I researched, the one I liked the best was Bowling Green State University, in Ohio. One reason why I liked it the best was because it offers a major that I think I would like- physics. I looked on the website, and you can also have astronomy as a minor, which is the field I would like to get into. But, if I decide that isn’t right for me, they also offer math teacher education and music as a major. Another reason why I think I liked this college the best was because of its location. The college is located in Bowling Green, Ohio,  a small town close to Toledo. I like that it is in a small town, but I can drive to Toledo, which is a bigger city, if needed. Also, my older cousins live in Toledo, so if I needed anything, I could go to them. But, it is not too close to home, either. Lastly, I liked Bowling Green the best because of the low costs. The total cost per year there was the lowest out of all four colleges; 22,437 dollars. It is still expensive, but not as expensive as some of the private schools I looked at. Adding scholarships, this would be a more affordable college. That is why I liked Bowling Green University the best out of the colleges I looked at.

College Road Trip Reflection: What Stood Out To Me

# data[].attributes.subject
College Road Trip Reflection: What Stood Out To Me

# data[].attributes.body
After exploring the four colleges in general, one thing that stood out to me was the costs. I do not think I realized how expensive college can be! My most expensive college was Case Western University, a private college which costs 73,952 dollars per year! My least expensive college was Bowling Green University, a public college which costs 22,437 dollars per year. This cost isn’t just for one year- you have to pay that amount each year that you go to that college, which can be four years or more. So, the cost can add up! I also realized that most of the time, private colleges are more expensive than public colleges. The private colleges I looked at were 60,000 dollars or more! But, private colleges offer a lot of scholarships, which helps to pay for it. That is still a lot of money, though! That is one thing that stood out to me about the colleges I researched.

Another thing that stood out to me about the colleges I looked at was the acceptance rate. Some colleges had a really low acceptance rate, like Case Western, which had an acceptance rate of 27 percent. This means that only 27 out of 100 students will be accepted into this college! The highest acceptance rate I found was at Bowling Green, which had an acceptance rate of 72 percent. That is a better acceptance rate, but it would still be hard to get in. Also, I found that both of my out-of-state colleges had an acceptance rate of 57 percent. I thought it was strange that two colleges, in different states, would have the same acceptance rate. Those were some of the things that stuck out to me about the colleges I researched.
