Career Test Services:
The Pathfinder Career Testing Program
Founded by Nicholas Lore, author of The Pathfinder, the Rockport Institute believes that everyone is born with a unique group of talents that are as individual as a fingerprint. Talents are completely different from acquired knowledge, skills, and interests. Your interests can change. You can gain new skills and knowledge. But your natural, inherited talents remain with you for your entire life. You can’t change them but you can learn to play the hand you have been dealt to your best advantage.

The Pathfinder Career Testing Program is a unique method of learning which careers would best fit by directly measuring these abilities and traits. This testing program is completely different than the career tests you may have taken previously. Fees for this service vary.

For more information about these services, please contact the Career Development Office at 203.432.5900 or Kristin Irish, deputy director, at 203.432.5906.
