The Career Exploration Inventory (CEI) is a self-assessment career-planning tool that helps individuals to explore their goals for work, leisure, and education. Now in its second and recently revised edition, the CEI is comprised of 120 brief activity statements that the test taker rates on whether they like or would like to engage in that activity. Written at a seventh grade level, most test-takers complete the CEI in about 30 minutes.

The CEI is appropriate for both high school students and adults. It produces an Interest Profile that is integrated with a Work, Leisure, and Learning Activities Guide. This self-study tool provides information about occupations, typical leisure activities, and the type of education and training associated with each interest pattern. The CEI is a powerful career and leisure exploration tool useful for a wide range of audiences and applications.
