Interests
To explore you interests, CAPS uses the Strong Interest Inventory® (SII). If you are trying to choose a university major or plan a career, the Strong Interest Inventory can be helpful in your academic and career planning. This assessment measures your level of interest in occupational areas, work and leisure activities, university subjects, kinds of people and in various learning and work environments.

Personality
To get to know your personality type and identify the type of work that matches your personality preferences, CAPS uses the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI). The MBTI will help you identify your strengths and unique gifts. The MBTI is used in self-development, career development and exploration.
