Online Career Assessments

There are tons of great assessments to use when career counseling. If you're interested in this field I suggest you check out the NCDA's publication:

Whitfield, E.A., FEller, R.W., Wood, C. (2009). A counselor's guide to career assessment instruments (5th edition). Broken Arrow, OK: NCDA.

But if you don't have the time or money to order paper and pencil assessments, check out the following online options:
