SIGI+helps students make career choices
By Beth Stopperan
Special to the Kansan
So what do you want to do with your life?
This question has been posed to almost every college student at one time or another. Many have no idea how to answer it. Making decisions, however, is an unavoidable part of college.
Choosing a major may be the hardest decision a student must make. This process, however, is made easier through self-assessment tests. There is no better way to find out what career you are most suited for than to check your interests and identify what you want from a job, the search for a major is made much easier.
Self-assessment tests vary in length, complexity and accuracy. There are two fairly simple self-assessment tests offered at the University of Kansas that a student can interpret with relative ease: the System of Interactive Guidance and Information (SIGI) and the Self-Directed Search.
SIGI is a computer test composed of eight sections that gather information about a student's values, interests, activities and skills. SIGI is helpful not only in providing students with useful knowledge but also provides lists of jobs that match an individual's particular wants and needs.
The Self-Directed Search is a series of lists containing statements such as "I write poetry or stories well," and "I am a good writer." The number of words calculated when the test is completed and a
three-tetter code is issued. The code is chosen from six possible themes: Realistic, Conventional, Enterprising, Interactive, Creative, Unconventional, and them to jobs for which they may be suited.
Although all self-assessment tests have a margin of error, they can help students get a general idea about what they want to major in. Brian Eggenberger, a graduate student working at the Career Resource Center and ideas as to which test was more accurate.
"I think the SIGI is more accurate," he said. "It takes into account your values and personality — a person as a whole, not just pieces."
Eggenberger also said that both tests do not give the answers, more answers, or guidelines to follow.
Both SIGI and the Self-Directed Search can be taken at the Career Resource Center in 116 Bailey Hall. They are free to KU students who take advantage of this service, and are especially helpful to those in the process of making career decisions.
In addition tro taking self-assessment tests, the Career Resource Center recommended talking to people working in the fields you are interested in. They may be able to give you insight on a career that is impossible for any test to provide.
Although these tests are time consuming to take, they are easy to interpret. They offer an organized way of deciding on a major, and even though they do not make decisions for you, they can point you in the right direction.
