The Strong Interest Inventory:

Answer 291 questions exploring your preferences in careers, leisure activities, and more. Your responses are compared to professionals who report high job satisfaction in various fields. The Strong Interest Inventory is a quick way to get a snapshot of career interests, but the highest interests may not be the most appropriate career, that’s why I recommend that you use it in conjunction with the Highlands Ability Battery.

The Strong Interest Inventory is based on the idea that people who enjoy their work will, likely, share similar interests. It is based on the work of John Holland and you may be familiar with Holland Career codes. This divide peoples and jobs into 6 categories – Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional.
