Curious Careers: in search of any printable career aptitude tests I can use in the classroom. Any suggestions?

I've found a lot of online tests but haven't turned up anything I can print out and interpret with my students.

  • How close are you to a public or university library? While you won't find much that's printable on the web, the number of books that have copyable versions of myers-briggs, mbti, or other types of tests is huge. Online, you won't find much for two reasons: first, one advantage of web-based apps is that one can take such a test and get immediate feedback (obviating the need for printing) and second, firms that charge for that sort of thing are meanies and don't want to share.
  • i'm about 25,000 or so miles from the closest english language university library. i should have mentioned that i teach english in korea and have extrmely limited access to english books...libraries....periodicals...etc.
  • have you tried this link? you have to go through a (free but annoying) registration process, i just lied my way through it. you get to a 100-question career aptitude test that would be easy enough to print out.
