Assessment.com provides an on-line career assessment, which is used by coaches to help their clients reach their greatest career and personal potential, based on their motivations. The MAPP Assessment, which represents over 40 years of development, provides insight into how the individual's own traits can be used to guide them into vocations and careers which best fit their own motivational profile.
