The Academic Discovery Center at BYU-Idaho provides a number of career assessments
that students may use to expand and explore their career options.
The Campell Interest and Skill Survey analyzes your self-reported interests and skills
and shows how you compare with people in general
and with happily employed people in a variety of occupations.
The purpose of this report is to help you find a career in which you will be happy and productive.
The questions on this survey will ask you to assess your interest level and skill level
for a variety of activities. Your answers will be analyzed and then compared
to the answers of people already working in many different occupations.
By matching your interests and skill to those of working professionals,
the survey will provide you with a comprehensive list of various occupations
that you may wish to puruse, develop, explore, or avoid.
Part I of this tutorial will cover the technical side of taking this survey.
You will learn how to obtain your login information, how to access the survey,
how to login, how to save, exit and continue, and how to print your results.
Part II includes several short videos that show you how to interpret your results.
To get the most out of these videos, you will want to have your printed results in front of you,
so make sure you take the survey first and print out the results before you start Part II of this tutorial.
The first step to take the Campbell Interst and Skill Survey
is to contact the Academic Discovery Center at BYU - Idaho.
You may contact the center by phone at
(208) 496 - 9800 or by email at academicdiscoverycenter@byui.edu.
You can also contact them in person. The Academic Discovery Center is located in
the Manwaring Center, room 129 on BYU - Idaho's campus.
Say that you would like to take the "Campbell Interest and Skill Survey."
It costs $12 to take the survey, and your student account will be charged this amount.
While this may seem like an expensive test,
be aware that the University subsidizes a portion of the cost to take the survey.
You may take the test through other online testing services,
but it may cost you between $18 to $30 to do so.
After you have purchased the test, you will receive an email containing your username and password,
as well as the link to take the survey.
Make sure you read the e-mail all the way through, as it contains important instructions.
After you have finished reading the entire email, click on the web link in Step 1 of the email.
The web link will take you to the login page for the Campbell Interst and Skill Inventory.
Enter the username and password from the email.
Once you log in, you can begin the survey. Take your time to read the directions
and answer the questions. The more accurately you respond,
the more accurate the response you will recieve.
The inventory will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. Do not rush.
As you take the survey, remember to answer the questions as you presently are - in skill and interest
- rather than how you might be in the future.
Make sure you pay attention to the scales above each section.
Select the answer that best approximates your level of interest or skill for each question.
Although it is best if you complete the survey in one session,
you can save and exit the survey if you need to. Simply click "Exit."
The website will save your responses for you. The next time you log in,
your previous responses will be saved, and you can continue to work where you left off.
Once you have completed all of the questions,
click on the "Display your Survey Results" button to access your results.
You may also wish to save your report. Your results will be available online for thirty days.
Once you have accessed the results page, you can print your report by clicking on
"Print out this page" or choosing "Print" from your internet browser. The report will be about 18 pages.
You are now ready to interpret your results.
If you wish, briefly look over your report to familiarize yourself with the content of it.
When you are ready, you may begin Part II of this tutorial to learn how to interpret your results.
