ACT Interest Inventory and Student Profile

As a part of the ACT Exam, each student is given an Assessment Student Report which contains an individualized profile. Your scores are linked to occupations and programs of study. These are grouped into "families" on a World-of-Work Map.

According to ACT, the World-of-Work Map arranges Career Families (groups of similar jobs) into 12 regions. The location of a Career Family shows how much it involves working with PEOPLE, THINGS, DATA, and IDEAS. Your location on the World-of-Work map is based on the 90 activity preferences you reported on the ACT Interest Inventory.

ACT results are sent either directly to you or to your high school guidance counselor. If you do not have your results, check with:

Note: Please be sure to record your results in your Portfolio section on Career Self Exploration.
