Kuder Career Search with Person Match (Interest Inventory)

The Kuder Career Search with Person Match helps you discover your career interests, explore occupations beyond job titles, and effectively apply your personal interests to your career plans.

The Internet-based assessment is completed in approximately 20 minutes and provides immediate online scoring and reporting. You will receive an accurate report of your career interests which provides guidance for interpreting and using your results.

The report also includes the unique Person Match feature which compares your assessment results to a database of nearly 2,000 individuals working in today's occupations. Access career sketches for the 14 individuals—7 in each of your top two Kuder career clusters—whose interests most closely match your own. Learn about how these individuals came to work in this occupation and why they like what they do.

The online Kuder Career Search with Person Match report includes:

  • Kuder Career Clusters ranked by how closely they match your interests. Clicking on a cluster name provides a description of the cluster and avenues for further exploration.
  • 14 Person Match career sketches—7 each in your top two career clusters—for individuals in the career database whose interests most closely match your own. (In states that use the federal career clusters classification system, the report provides the top 3 Person Match sketches for each of your top 5 career clusters.)
  • Links to explore occupational listings by education level within each of the clusters. Each occupation is crosswalked with and linked directly to additional information from the  Occupational Outlook Handbook, O*Net™, and related military occupations to allow further exploration.
  • Suggested steps for continuing career exploration and links to help you explore options for continuing your education.

For more information about development, administration, and interpretation of the interest assessment, please see the Technical Manual

The Kuder Interests and Skills Composite Report

Once you have completed both the Kuder Career Search with Person Match interest inventory and the Kuder Skills Assessment, an additional report, the Kuder Interests and Skills Composite Report, is automatically generated. The results of both assessments are juxtaposed to provide you with an easy-to-understand comparison of your interests and skills based on the career clusters. You can readily see areas where there are consistencies or inconsistencies in the relationship of your interests and skills. The interactive report provides information and suggestions about the relationships and how to proceed with your education and career exploration and planning.
