Assessments

SIGI PLUS pronounced "siggy" plus is a very special tool that can help you to plan your career. Developed by a team of researchers and specialists at Educational Testing Service, SIGI PLUS (System of Interactive Guidance and Information PLUS) is one of the most advanced career guidance systems available. It combines the unique capabilities of the computer with thoroughly researched information about occupations, work-related values, interests, skills, educational programs, and more.

(How can a computer help me decide on a career?)

SIGI PLUS can help you examine your work-related values, interests, and skills systematically. Once you enter your own preferences, the program searches its built-in library and finds those careers that most closely match your preferences. It can save you literally days of leafing through catalogs and career books, and because its built-in library is so large, it may well find career options you never knew existed.

(What can a computer know about me?)

•  A computer is only a machine. It knows what you tell it; nothing more. That's why it's so important for you to think hard and respond honestly to the computer's questions. Even if it asks a question you've never really considered or that you find hard to answer, make the best choice you can. In this way, the career possibilities SIGI PLUS presents will be as accurate as possible.

(What does SIGI PLUS include?)

SIGI PLUS consists of an introduction followed by eight core sections, each covering an important step in the career planning and decision-making process. Since people have different goals, you may find some sections more useful than others. SISI PLUS has been specially put together to show you how to choose the Path through the system that's best for you.
