 MAJOR
QUESTS, LLC specializes in the needs of
young adults making decisions related to their future
course of study or life’s work. Major Quest
offers a comprehensive package of personality based
career assessments that identify preferences,
values, interests, and abilities related to career
choice. These factors
are then used to identify career fields with the
highest probability of satisfaction.
The Major Quest Career Assessment Package combines three highly respected measures of personality, interests, values, and abilities. It includes the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Strong Interest Inventory, and the Highlands Ability Battery. Each assessment can be taken on-line at the client’s convenience. |

| Career development
experts agree that effective decisions are based
on a thorough understanding of one's personality. Testing
experts agree assessments become more reliable
when used in conjunction with other instruments.
The ability of any single assessment to predict career direction increases dramatically when agreement exists between multiple tests. Major Quest looks for the areas of agreement between the three above-mentioned assessments. |
| |
| Assessments Reports |
| |
| Clients receive
a detailed written report for each assessment.
These reports are mailed to the client prior to
scheduling an in-depth feedback session. Each
report contains a large amount of information to
absorb, so time is provided for the client to review
the material. Parents are provided a copy of their
student’s reports. The Assessments
Page on this website contains detailed information on what clients
learn from each assessment. |
| |
| Assessment
reports focus on the strengths in a client’s
personality. These reports identify specific gifts and talents for each personality type
as well as the career fields and majors associated with it. Each personality type can be challenged by certain tasks and situations. Clients are provided specific strategies for meeting these challenges. Throughout the reports,
clients are given clear “next steps” for continuing their career development.
|
| |
| Feedback Sessions |
| |
| An individual feedback
session is scheduled once a client has had time
to read his or her assessment reports. Feedback can
take up to three hours. The feedback session is
conducted either by telephone or in-person. It will typically be scheduled in two sessions.
With permission, feedback sessions are recorded,
and the client is sent a compact disc recording
of their session. Parents of students are invited
to attend feedback sessions. |
| |
| Group Feedbacks |
| |
| Group feedback sessions
are available for schools, youth groups, churches,
camps, or interested parties. Information pertinent
to understanding each assessment is presented generically
during these sessions. The results of client assessments
remain confidential. Individual feedback sessions are scheduled for each client following the group feedback
session. The group feedback option can reduce the cost for
each individual client. |
