This may be unusual but in my business school, we had a department that focused on Psychology and Org. Behaviour. They offered a free evaluation (they used the California Psychological Inventory [1]) and consultation for all students. The main upshot of what I discovered from that interaction was that relatively shorter term, expertise based project style work is what suited my personality the best. I only applied to consulting style jobs out of college and joined what was effectively an internal consulting arm of a large multinational and am now a globally recognised expert in some domains within the company. Compared to my peers, this knowledge did help me avoid a lot of angst finding a role fit.
