WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Character and Profession Test

Character and Profession Test

This brief self-report screening tool is intended to support career exploration by relating personality tendencies to work preferences. Character and Profession is attributed to John L. Holland and is commonly used in guidance contexts to prompt reflection on personal style and fit.

The measure contains 24 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted descriptively, highlighting comparatively stronger and weaker personal characteristics that may influence vocational interests, work adaptation, and typical challenges in occupational settings. Character and Profession may be used as an adjunct to counseling or self-exploration and should not be treated as a stand-alone diagnostic assessment.
