When Miranda Phelps was in the third grade, her older brother was involved in a car accident, The Daily Times reports. The girl went with her brother to treatments at a chiropractor's office and immediately decided that she wanted to enter the medical field someday.

Now, Phelps is a junior in high school. She was recently told to take a career test by school officials, which once again indicated that she should enter the medical field.

Immediately after taking the career test, the student received an invitation to the National Youth Leadership Forum in Los Angeles, California, the news outlet reports. At this conference, Phelps and the other attendees will gain exposure to fields such as public health, medical ethics and general practice. They will also have the chance to visit medical clinics and gain hands-on experience.

According to the book Career Counseling, students like Phelps can benefit from taking career tests as they can offer reliable information about their characteristics and how they would mesh with various working environments. They can also show individuals what their professional strengths and weaknesses are and how they can be used in future jobs.
