Find out your strengths and weaknesses and what career best fits you.
I love this book and have been using it for high school students to promote career thinking. It is easy to use, and the tests are fun to take. The results show the students their strengths and what careers would be suit them giving them a chance to explore their future. It also shows them areas that they can grow and become stronger in.

Discover What You're Best At
After trying several online tests, I decided to buy this book to get a more in depth picture. It certainly took some time, but I felt that it produced an accurate picture. I was not surprised by my character traits, but it was really helpful to see the groupings of which occupations might suit me best based on my results. I would highly recommend this book.
