"True Colors" Career Aptitude Survey

On Tuesday, Sept. 2nd we will begin our Career Aptitude Survey unit. The goal of this activity is to help the students hone in on what be a good pathway, career wise, after they graduate. We will be using the "True Colors" test to get at the information.

We begin with the following questions:
1. What makes you happy;
2. What frustrates you?
3. What do you act like when you are frustrated?
4. What would you do if you won $15,000,000?
5. Give a slogan, song or saying that best illustrates who you are.

We will look through the True Color cards (see the link below). The students will rate them according to how well it fits him/her. It is a scale of 4= Most like you to = Least Like You

We will also go through a series of questions that have rating similar to those given above. This will correlate to a chart with occupations.

Here are the links to what we are using in class:
