SharoninTennessee Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Anyone have suggestions for a free online career aptitude test? I'd like one geared for teens rather than adults, if that's possible. Thanks, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbmem Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Visit http://www.hslda.org/highschool/testing.asp and scroll to the bottom to see Personality/Aptitude/Career Test I haven't checked these resources out. Just came across them the other day. If you decide to try them, I'd like to hear your thoughts about them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
