Understanding The SuperStrong assessment
What is the SuperStrong assessment?
At Oklahoma State University, the SuperStrong assessment is built into the First-Year Seminar curriculum.
The SuperStrong assessment is a career exploration tool that helps you understand your interests and how they may connect to academic and career options. Your results include a Holland Code—a combination of two or three letters that represents your strongest career interest areas.
Explore each of the interest areas identified in your results to gain a fuller understanding of yourself and the types of activities, academic programs and careers that may be a good fit for your interests. You can also explore how your results connect to academic options at OSU, as well as career and extracurricular interests.
SuperStrong themes Results from the SuperStrong assessment reveal your top two to three "themes," which are your Holland Code.
