Self-Assessments

Why Take Self-Assessments?

It is much easier to make confident academic and career-related decisions when you know who you are and what is important to you. Self-assessments are a fun and helpful way to get to know yourself better. Through these questionnaires, you may gain a clearer idea of your strengths, skills, personality, values, and interests. This self-awareness is important in making decisions related to majors and careers.

Interested in Taking Self-Assessments?

To take these formal assessments, which are free and available to all Butler students, you need to meet with a trained professional who can administer the assessment and interpret the results. Ask an Exploratory advisor about the steps needed in order to take one or more of the assessments listed below. There are staff members in the Center for Academic Success and Exploration and Career and Professional Success who are trained in these assessments.
