Self-Directed Search Log in Instructions

The Self-Directed Search has been used by more than 23 million people to help find occupations that suit their interests and skills. Developed by Dr. John Holland in 1971, the SDS is used throughout the world to help people make successful career decisions.

The SDS Internet site (http://assessment.self-directed-search.com) does not charge users to take the 200-item test. The user identification number and passwords that you received are required to generate a confidential, eight-to-twelve page interpretive report. After you take the test and enter the User ID number and assigned password, the customized report is sent directly to you, where it can be stored or printed for easy reference.

Your test scores result in a 3-letter code of the three personality types the individual most closely resembles. All reports include an occupations list that matches the code, suggesting job types most suited to the individual's personality, interests, and skills.
