Career Testing: Facts

WHAT The Career Testing Program consists of 13 tests, some of which measure multiple abilities. They measure everything that is most useful in helping you pick a career that fits your natural abilities and personality. They are specific enough that medical students use the program to pick a specialty.

HOW LONG It takes approximately 3.5 hours to go through the entire testing process.

WHERE You do the testing program in the privacy of your home.

HOW All of the tests are done on paper and are administered by audio CDs or tape cassettes that guide you seamlessly through the entire process. All you need to provide is a quiet place, some pencils and a player for the CDs or tapes.

INTERPRETATION is a two step process:

1) We send test results to you, along with written materials and an audio CD or tape that explains the areas we measured. This way you have a chance to sit back, listen to the audio, and look back over your work, leisure and education experiences in the context of the various abilities we measured. Later on, in the telephone conference, you will see how the various parts of your profile of abilities fit together but right now we want you to understand the individual pieces.

2) You have a one-hour telephone conference with us, during which we go over your own unique situation in depth, talk over the issues that you are trying to resolve, teach you to understand how your abilities and your personality fit together and suggest specific careers that will best express your strengths.

PROGRAM FEE $520 US, paid in full at the time you enroll

CREDIT CARDS Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express

OTHER COSTS The only other cost to you is whatever your long distance company charges you when you call us for your telephone conference, and return postage when you send your test back to us.

SHIPPING There are no extra charges for shipping or handling if you live in the U.S. or Canada. We ship by Global Priority Mail to almost all other countries. The shipping charge is$20 to most other countries. See the order pages for your exact shipping cost.

“What I learned from the...testing was that my natural abilities do not lend themselves to the work I'd been doing. It was no wonder that every day had been a struggle...I hope that news of Rockport Institute travels quickly because there are so many people out there who have settled for unsatisfying careers.”

In a letter to our founder, President Clinton wrote:
“ I am heartened by your efforts to empower people to lead productive and fulfilling lives... As you well understand, knowing one’s own gifts and talents is a powerful tool for finding work that is challenging and rewarding...The success of this information revolution will ultimately depend on the dedication and commitment of individuals who, like you, care deeply about helping people reach their creative and productive potential. (Your career coaching programs represent) the kind of effort our country needs in order to meet the demands of a global economy.”
