ConsultingTools: Career Profile Inventory



personality assessment: Career Profile Inventory

The Career Profile Inventory is a brief self-scored online career interest instrument suitable for employees at all levels of the organisation. This theory-based and validated career interest inventory provides targeted feedback in three areas, providing a complete profile of an employee's career stage, interests, motivational anchors, job/career path preferences, and political style.

The Career Profile Inventory Scales:

Career Stage

Entry
Development
Balanced/Plateau
Trapped/Exploration
Career Path Preference

Managerial
Specialist
Generalist
Entrepreneurial
Political Style Orientation

Promoter
Strategist
Team Player
Independent Player 

The Career Profile Inventory is composed of 40 questions measuring the respondent's current situation ("The Way it is Now") and compared to the way he/she would like it to be ("The Way I'd Prefer it to Be")

Administration takes approximately 20-30 minutes and the feedback results are automatically available online. The comprehensive summary feedback report compares and contrasts current to ideal preferences in career stage, path preference and political style orientation. By analysing the "gaps" you will quickly identify the causes of employee satisfaction resulting in increased productivity and retention and reduced turnover.

The Career Profile Inventory is an ideal assessment tool to be used for executive and management coaching, career counselling, outplacement, employee development, performance evaluation, succession planning, and supervisory training, and management development programs. The Career Profile Online report also includes an action plan to support career and professional development goals as well as professional development resources and linked websites.
