Greatest Strengths Analysis
The Harrison Assessment analysis of your greatest strengths highlights the qualities and behavioural tendencies that naturally support your performance, relationships, and overall effectiveness. These strengths often reflect the areas where you are most energised, confident, and consistent, such as problem-solving, communication, leadership, adaptability, persistence, or collaboration. By understanding these strengths, you can recognise how they contribute to your success in the workplace and identify opportunities to apply them more intentionally.
Overall, this analysis provides valuable insight into what you do best and how you can continue to build on those strengths for personal and professional growth in the workplace.
Examples:
Career Development Report
The Career Development Report provides valuable insight into your strengths, motivations, preferred work behaviours, and career potential. It identifies the types of roles, environments, and responsibilities most likely to suit you, while highlighting areas for growth and development.
The report serves as a practical guide to helping you build a career that aligns with your natural talents, interests, and motivations.
By understanding these results, you can make more informed decisions about your career direction, educational choices, and future goals.
Examples:
Career Enjoyment Analysis
The Career Enjoyment Analysis helps to identify the types of work environments and responsibilities that are most likely to motivate and energise you.
By highlighting what you naturally enjoy and where your interests align, it provides valuable guidance for choosing careers that are rewarding and provide long-term satisfaction.
The aim is to help you find a career that is truly meaningful for you and that you genuinely enjoy.

FAQ's
Some of the most common questions before taking the first step towards clearer, more confident career decisions.
Is this only for students?
No. While the assessment is very useful for students making education and career decisions, it can also support adults who are reassessing their career direction.
It may be helpful if you are changing career, returning to work, feeling unfulfilled in your current role, or wanting to understand what type of work may suit you better.
Is this the same as a free online career quiz?
No. My Optimal Career uses a structured assessment process powered by the Harrison Assessment platform. It is designed to provide deeper and more meaningful insight than a simple online quiz.
The aim is not to give you a quick label, but to help you better understand your strengths, preferences, motivations, and possible career fit.
How does the assessment process work?
The process is simple:
- Purchase the Career Direction Assessment online.
- Receive an automated welcome email explaining the next steps.
- The administrator manually adds your details to the Harrison Assessment portal.
- You receive instructions to complete the assessment online.
- Your results provide insight into your strengths, preferences, and potential career direction.
What happens after I purchase the assessment?
After checkout, you will receive a confirmation and welcome email. This email will explain what happens next and what information may be needed.
Your details will then be manually added to the Harrison Assessment portal by the administrator. Once this has been completed, you will receive the relevant access instructions.
How long does the assessment take?
The exact completion time may vary depending on the individual user. It is best to complete the assessment when you have enough time to focus and answer thoughtfully.
The assessment should not be rushed, as the quality of your answers can affect the usefulness of your results.
Will the assessment tell me exactly what career to choose?
No. The assessment is designed to guide and inform your decision-making, not make the decision for you.
It can help highlight suitable career themes, strengths, preferences, and working environments, but it should be used alongside course research, guidance advice, personal reflection, and practical considerations.
Can this help if a student feels overwhelmed by career choices?
Yes. Many students feel uncertain or overwhelmed when thinking about subjects, courses, CAO choices, and careers.
The assessment provides a structured way to explore strengths and preferences, helping students move from confusion towards clearer, more informed options.
