Okay, so I'm having a tough time deciding on my college major. I've been suggested to take a quiz online that might help me narrow down my interests. Can you guys recommend any verified and effective 'best college major for me' quizzes?
Absolutely, online quizzes can serve as a good starting point to explore your interests and potential career paths. CollegeVine actually has a free Career Quiz that many students have found helpful. It evaluates your interests, skills, and personalities to suggest potential college majors and subsequent career paths for you to consider.
In addition, YouScience is another one to try. It uses aptitude tests to measure your natural abilities, like how you problem solve or communicate, and matches these to different career profiles.
One more idea is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It's a personality test that could provide some useful insights into careers that might suit your personality type.
Remember that these quizzes are merely tools and the results should not dictate your decisions completely. It's always a smart move to research the careers that interest you, look at the growth opportunities and job satisfaction rates in those fields, and even try to find internships or job-shadowing opportunities to get a feel for what working in that field might be like.
You could then match your chosen career path to the relevant college major(s), which could help you narrow down your choices. And, of course, keep in mind that many people end up working in fields that don't directly relate to their major, so there's definite flexibility.
