Bel 311 Week Six Reflection

Myers and Briggs created a personality test that not only will help people to figure out their personality types, but at the same time it aids in the discovery of which career pathways people should take based on their specific personality traits. Based on the personality trait INFP that was given to me from the Myer-Briggs test I have quite a few career pathways that fit my personality. Some of the career choices suited to my personality is a writer, counselor, teacher/professor, psychologist, psychiatrist, musician, or a religious worker; which seems like a pretty broad selection. Although there is a broad selection of careers that would suit my personality none of which are the career path that I have chosen; which is to become a physical therapist, but if I was not set on a goal some of these career ideas would not seem too bad. While reading the list of jobs suited for my personality I was surprised to see that psychologist was on the list because before I decided to go for physical therapy I wanted to pursue a career in that exact field. As for most of the other fields mentioned above I

My reflections of Chapter 11 of the Corey text discussing Groups in Community Settings, and more specifically working with adult populations, begins with the fact that these populations vary widely and are typically diverse in their makeup. Furthermore, the ability of professional counselors to work with a variety of adult populations utilizing a well-rounded set of clinically effective group experiences, techniques, and skills are paramount to facilitator efficacy. The multitude of diverse populations falling within the category of “adult groups” include, but are not limited to, a) women’s groups, b) men’s groups, c) domestic violence offender groups, d) sex offender groups, e) HIV/AIDS support groups, and f) older adult (elderly) groups

I will try to engage students with a story to start the lesson, which will focus their learning (Moitra, 2014). For example, introducing the lesson on alcohols by recounting their use in our daily life and why they are used in those situations. This engagement allows connection to their lives, they start the class by realising what you are saying to them is important and you are worth listening to (Makodia, 2009). This needs to be told with enthusiasm and passion to show that what you are saying is exciting and fascinating. This will require a range of tone and pace to allow the students to feel like they are hearing an interesting story. Through using gestures and walking around the class I can engage all students by allowing them to follow

Talk to your employer about how if you got your degree you would add more value to the company as an employee. The reason for this is that you would have a wider range of skills, but you will also understand your business and industry better after getting your degree. You will also be better positioned to take a leadership role if it is needed. Companies that have employees with

Questions, tests, and psyche evaluations can't let you know what your ideal profession might be, yet they can help you recognize what's paramount to you in a career choice, what you appreciate doing, and where you outperform.

My experience that I have learn so far from week four to week six is that catching up with assignments and exams can be a handful if you don’t do it along with the week that was assign to. Otherwise, you would have been able to catch up by now and don’t have to worry about trying to finish everything up before Final. On week four, I have learned how to create a spreadsheet in Google Documents to calculates my grade for this class. In this online class we have 80% in blackboard and Therefore, knowing how to calculate your grades allows you to know where you stand. When you know where you stand you can make decision. You have information which it’s important to know where you stand to know how to pass this class. Through discussion board week

Dr. John Holland created a theory and inventory to help describe personality types that can be used to identify occupations that are best suited for a particular personality type, or “Holland Code.”

I am surprised that an online test can be so accurate, I think it did a really good job describing my work personality. I even liked all of the occupation suggestions that were given to me. The number one job on my top ten list is an Accountant, which is what my major is. I’m eager to learn more about accounting because it fits my results so well, I was clearly born to be an accountant. I also think accounting is interesting because there are so many different types of accounting and accountants and I’d like to learn more about them. So many people just picture it to be a boring desk job but it can be so much more than that. Another job that is listed that I’d be interested in learning more about is an auditor. I don’t know too much about it, but I know they deal with fraud and investigating and things of that nature. I’m a really nosey person and I would love doing that kind of stuff. However, maybe I am totally off about the kind of work they do. All in all, I’d really like to learn about a lot of different occupations that you can work with when you have an Accounting

Taking the personality test I was nervous to see what my results would be. I have taken many challenges like this before, ever since I was in middle school until now. My results came back pretty similar to the results and careers I’m interested in. The specific traits behind a career for an

To begin this reflection essay I just want to say that this year has been ups and downs like a relationship. I start off on a good path then I go in reverse like driving a car. I’m not trying to be lyrical I’m trying to be rhetorical if you know what I mean. In the beginning of the year I’ve struggled with academic vocabulary, sentence fragments and much more that I can’t possibly remember. In fact, I got through it like a maze so lost In the beginning but at the end feeling accomplished. Capitalizing my I’s was one of the struggles I always had. Now It Isn’t a big deal for me.

The Focus 2 assessment made me realize the career field that I want to pursue. After completing the work interest and personality assessment, the occupation that

My career assessment test turned out just the way I thought it would the results was very interesting. From the assessment test the results touched base in many areas for the career I’m interested in such as psychology. My test results are :

Beginning in the first week of class to our current standing, in week seven, I have witnessed excessive progression in the speech’s of my fellow classmates. Early off, everyone was very shy and unsure how to present a strong debate speech, pertaining to non-verbal skills, vocal skills and the content of the speech. Now that we are in the seventh week of instruction, a drastic change in the ability of fellow classmates to hold a debate, can be easily seen. In particular, there are two students who specifically stood out to me. The first student that particularly stood out to me was Luke Shapiro. Last quarter, we had the same BIS 300 course together, and we were in the same project/presentation group for the entire quarter. In our BIS 300 group, he was normally fairly quiet and

Based on the work of Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, a self-inventory geared toward helping individuals determine their personality types and individual areas of strength. “By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives” (Cherry, 2015). This test, through helping me explore my own personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and various preferences and compatibilities, has been instrumental in affirming my

Figuring out the job you actually want might be the toughest and most important part of this. If you are working on a degree or certification for a specific career, my advice is to search for an entry level position with a company that you will be able to use your degree/certification in one day. Even if filing documents or sweeping a warehouse isn’t your dream job, doing these tasks at your dream company is one of the best ways to realize your long-term goal. This will not only be beneficial to you, as you will be getting firsthand experience with the company to see if it is a place you really want to work for, but the hiring manager for the entry level position could see you as a long term investment, which will give you a leg up on the competition. Also, most companies prefer to promote within the organization, so once you complete your degree and a position is open, you will have that extra boost in your favor.
