Welcome to intoCareers Sherlock. This online tool is designed to enable school counselors and student advocates to develop a better understanding of the guidance and support needs of their students. The forms (questionnaires) are intended to be flexible. We recommend that students complete the form in one sitting, however each section can be saved, and students can return to complete other sections at a later time, if necessary.

If you have any questions about administration of the program, call intCareers at 800-553-2252 or send email to cishelp@uoregon.edu.

Form 1 is designed for students in grades 6-8. Form 2 is designed for students in grades 9-12.

Please read through the information below before administering the form to students.

Before You Begin

  1. Make sure students have access to computers with Internet service.
  2. If you want students to print their questionnaire responses, make sure each computer has access to a printer.
  3. Students will need to have the email address(es) of their parents or guardians, if the student wants to send assessment responses to parent(s) or guardian(s).
  4. Students will need the mailing address(es) of parent/guardians.
  5. Students will need to know the highest level of education of all persons in their household.
  6. You should ask students to gather the above information and bring it to the session during which they enter data into the system. A simple form letter is available to print for this purpose.
  7. If you are not using the hyperlinks (emailed to the school contact at the time of registration and pasted on the desktop of machines that students will use to enter data), you will need the school/program authorization code that was sent to the school's contact person. This numeric or alpha code indicates which school students attend, and is necessary to begin filling out the form.
  8. Please read through the form preview at least once before administering the assessment. This will allow you to determine whether additional information or materials particular to your school and students are needed.

To Begin

  1. Make sure students begin on the correct web page for the form you intend to use. For Form 1 (recommended for grades 6-8), students should start at the URL https://sherlock.intocareers.org/StartSurvey.aspx?form=1. For Form 2 (recommended for grades 9-12), students should start at the URL https://sherlock.intocareers.org/StartSurvey.aspx?form=2. We recommend that computers be set to these web pages before students arrive to fill out the forms, but students can also be directed to the correct web address upon arrival.
  2. On the first page of the form, there is a notice to students about their right to respond to any, all, or none of the items on the form. Directions on how to use the form are also located on this page. Please read through this page with the students and make sure they understand how to use the form. Be sure to ask if they have any questions before allowing them to begin filling out the form.
  3. After completing the student registration page, direct students to the Next link at the bottom of the page to proceed to the first set of items. They will need to begin here in order to input the school authorization code that will ensure their answers are saved to your school's database.
  4. Give students the school/program authorization code.
  5. Remind students to fill out all the information to the best of their abilities. Encourage them to ask questions if they are unsure about anything found on the form.
  6. Inform students that once they complete each page, they should click the Next link found at the bottom of the page. By clicking the Next link, they will save their information after each section. If they need to return to a section that they have already completed, they can use the links on the left side of the page to return to that section.
