Understanding The SuperStrong
What is the SuperStrong assessment?
At Oklahoma State, the SuperStrong is built into the First-Year Seminar curriculum.
The SuperStrong is a career assessment based on the Strong Interest Inventory, the most widely used interest inventory worldwide and a proven career tool. Results reveal your Holland Code, which likely includes two to three letters. Make sure you explore all the letters revealed in your results to learn fully about yourself. Think about how the themes revealed in your results show up in your academic, career and extracurricular interests.
