those tests for finding your 'ideal' career?

[Dumbass17]

i forget what they are called,
but you know those questionnaires you can take with various questions and scenarios and then after you're done it kind of gives you an idea as to what general career path or field would be suitable for you?

where can i take a test like this?

thanks in advance
