In your forties and fifties maybe you’re starting to evaluate your values and meaning beyond just achievement. You get the picture.
Off the bat the the greatest benefit to a young person is the interest clarification the assessment offers. Career interest groups are broken down and your interest in certain specific field are measured.
The personality feedback part of the assessment is always a personal highlight. The DISC analysis on persona behavior is a great benefit never mind your age. If you’re familiar with DISC you will know that the breakdown happens over the four main domains, namely Dominance, Extroversion, Relational Ability, and Certainty. The interesting add on with Career Direct is that it adds two additional scales namely Adventure and Innovation.
