NOW OFFERING FOR OLDER TEENS and young adults! Career Testing Package with Personal Evaluation and Coaching (takes 2.5 hours total!) to give older teens and young adults insight into their unique God-given design and get them moving toward their calling! These results will help them understand more about their personality traits, values, skills and interests and how it all relates to the world of work. Contact spadecoachingllc@gmail.com to get moving on your Career Package!

The online career assessment you are about to take is uniquely designed to provide you with a clear reflection of your unique God-given design and help you maximize your talents and abilities . It examines 4 critical components of career selection to help you discover what you were made to do:

  • Skills and abilities – what you naturally do well
  • Values – what you value in your work and life
  • Vocational interests – what you are interested in doing
  • Personality – how you naturally respond to life

God wants you to use the gifts He has given you to glorify Him in your vocation, rather than try to be something you are not. Your PURPOSE is the destination, but how you get there is through your CALLING. Your calling includes the combination of your unique talents, abilities and spiritual gifts!

If you do not take the assessment correctly, results will be distorted and not a true reflection of YOU. So to get the most accurate results possible, it will be important to do the following:

  1. Block out a 1.5 hour window of time in a comfortable undisturbed space where you won’t feel too rushed – so you can relax and think deeply about the questions. (If needed, you can complete a section, save it and come back to finish later…but don’t forget to come back and finish!)
  2. Be as honest as possible without regard to how you might look to others.
  3. Do not answer how you would like yourself to be or how you wish you were – be transparent.
  4. If you get stumped on questions about your personal traits, it is helpful to have someone nearby who knows you very well like a parent or close friend who can help you narrow down to the most accurate answer. But do your best to stay focused during this process.
  5. While taking the assessment, continue to remind yourself of the current scale being used for each section so you don’t accidentally answer reverse of what you intended (example: a scale of 1-5 with 5 being “high”, but you answered 1 for “high”)
  6. If you take the assessment but you are not truly interested in taking the assessment, this could skew your results.
