the ones I personally like the best:<br />

The Dewey <strong>Color</strong> System. Sure, this is essentially a parlor game, but I<br />

like it anyway. In fact, I like it a lot. It’s based upon, or at least<br />

indebted to, the Lüscher <strong>Color</strong> Test. It’s free, it takes about three<br />

minutes, and consists of a series of pages (about 23 of them) with<br />

colors on them, and you say which one is your favorite (or least<br />

favorite) color on that page. Relevant occupations are then suggested.<br />

Find the “test” at www.​deweycolorsystem.​com/​tests/​color-careercounselor.<br />

Dr. John Holland’s Self-Directed Search. We saw this already in<br />

chapter 8 with the People petal (this page) but in case you don’t recall,<br />

this is at www.​self-directed-search.​com and costs $9.95 to take<br />

online.<br />

e<strong>Parachute</strong>’s JUMP Application. This is the creation of my own team.<br />

It is a three-step process: Discover, Create, and Explore. It can be<br />

found at www.​e<strong>Parachute</strong>.​com, and costs $4.99 for a year’s<br />

subscription.<br />

The University of Missouri’s Career Interests Game, which can be<br />

found at http://career.​missouri.​edu/​career-interest-game. This is<br />

based on a shortened version of the Self-Directed Search, namely, my<br />

“Party Exercise.” Well redesigned here.<br />

If you want further suggestions, you can type “career tests” or<br />

“personality tests” into Google, and see what turns up. You’ll find lots and<br />

lots of stuff.
