Ohio Career Information System (OCIS) (A username and password are necessary)

http://ocis.ode.state.oh.us

Several different surveys/assessments are available (Occupation Match, Kuder Career Search, etc.), including the   O*NET Interest Profiler.  The O*NET Interest Profiler helps people learn more about their interests and how these interests relate to careers. This Interest Profiler is a self-assessment tool that helps users discover the type of work activities and occupations that they would like. Users identify and learn about broad interest areas most relevant to themselves. Then, they can use their interest results to explore occupations in OCIS. The Interest Profiler measures the six Holland personality/work environment types, then OCIS relates these to associated occupations.
