This assignment asks me to summarize my results and observations from the four career profile activities. Those four career profile activities are Interests, Personalities,Values, and Skills. All four of these topics help define who you are, what you are good at, and what actions you will take. For the first career profile activity, Interest, I will be talking about my results from my three letter code(RIASEC) and my SDS(Self-Directed Search) assessment. For the second career profile activity, Personalities, I will be talking about my results from my preliminary MBTI mini(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) code, my “functional pair” in my preliminary MBTI, and information about the characteristics of my MBTI. For the third career profile …show more content…
The personalities in RIASEC stand for R- Realistic, I- Investigative, A- Artistic, S- Social, E- Enterprising, and C- Conventional. Once taking this assessment it is real easy to narrow down your search for career paths that you would potentially interested in. The Myers-Briggs mini is another assessment that I took. In this assessment, there are four sections. Extroverts vs Introverts, Sensing Types vs Intuitive Types, Thinking Types vs Feeling Types, and Judging Types vs Perceptive Types. None of these choices are the right or wrong answers. It’s just a self-eval. On this assessment, there are the two choices, one on the left side and one on the right side. Underneath them, both are examples of preferences in their certain category. Then between these two choices is a line with a midpoint. On this line, the user has to rate himself/herself on where they think they are. More towards the left side or the right side? On my Myers-Briggs, I got an ISFJ personality. This means my functional pair is SF. The functional pair is always in the middle. Some examples of functional pairs are ST, SF, NF, and NT. This assessment, in my opinion, also really helps you find out more about yourself. Perhaps even something you didn 't even know about you. For example according to Otto Kroeger, my personality is committed to getting the job done. I am conscientious, loyal, dedicated, and work well when roles and
The Myers and Briggs Analysis is a series of questions that when answered are examined and grouped together in order to determine the personalities of those taking this test. This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important
In order for me to complete this career assessment paper, I initially took an Interest Inventory survey. Upon completing this process, it revealed that my personality profile score was (I, C, A). These three letters represented my strengths and interests in determining which career field would best suit me.
Tasks There are four tasks to this assignment. A Short answer questions B Your work role C Career pathway D Presentation or report
Obtaining a career focus is valuable in any college student’s lifetime; therefore, it would be profitable to meet with a career counselor to discuss occupational goals and interests. Moreover, involvement with the Focus 2 assessment is another contributing factor used to guide the career decision making process. The Focus 2 is comprised of five simple tests that will analyze compatible careers for the individual taking the assessment. Mr. Richard Glass, the career counselor that agreed to meet with me, believes that the work interests assessment produces the most promising results. For instance, my work interests fall under the social, artistic, and investigative categories. Through computerized analysis, I was given a list of occupations that would agree with the data received. The content of this paper will evaluate the results of the Focus 2 assessment, in addition to the major points discussed by Mr. Glass. Come the end of this paper, the reader will gain a better understanding of my work
FOCUS 2 was a great computer program to help continue my career journey. My career planning readiness results seemed to fit in where I am at in my life. My score was a 3.67, this indicates that I am moderately involved in my interests, values, personality and skills. Agreeing with this because I have been not only trying to figure out who I am as an adult but also making life changes. Although having a clear understanding on these topics, career exploration and career planning satisfaction were both low threes in scores. For example, my career planning score suggested that I may be experiencing some problems with planning. By writing this paper it has immensely helped clear my perspective on where I am and where I should be.
After reading about the six different occupational themes, I think the theory that goes with my work personality the most is the conventional theme. Those that fit the conventional theme typically have a need to feel secure and like to be in a routine, they value structure. They are organized, efficient, and detail-oriented. I think I fit this category because I really value organization, routine, and structure. Conventional people are typically interested in accounting, investing, and information systems. At work they deal with numbers and data, setting up procedures and systems, and keeping records. These work activities and interests describe what I am interested
Introduction: The following report sheds light on one specific career option that a group of three scholars chose and shows how their personality traits as well as their interests and employment backgrounds make them either the most qualified or the least qualified for the job position. The job that the group chose was intelligence analyst. The report will explain whether or not there should be competitiveness between the group members when it comes to applying for a similar job in the near future. When one is applying for a career there are many things employers take into consideration. Among the highest are the applicants ' willingness to work in the career field and in the set location. The applicant experience and the applicants ' personality traits that make them stand out from the other applicants are also extremely important.
This autobiography will present events, people, and experiences that have been integral to my career development. My life will be outlined starting from early childhood and leading up to present day. Each stage of my life will discuss examples that explain how I got to where I am today. Career development theories will then be related to my life experiences.
There comes a time in life where individuals have to leave school to join the world of work whereby they will work their way up to the top. This is where career development comes into place. Career development is defined as progress through various stages in a career (Schreuder & Coetzee,2011). These are stages one goes through in order to mature in a career and for development to even exist, one has to start with making a career choice then developing it .A career choice can be defined as the relation between people’s personality types and their different occupational environment in which they work in.
That I collect information about different alternative and go over them. It said that my decisions seem analytical; I evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option. It said that I take a long time to make a decision, which is true in many circumstances. I feel that I can be an indecisive person sometimes. It also identified that I want to be the one responsible for my decisions and don’t try to transfer the decisions to others. I do like to consult family about my career decisions but I feel that I don’t let them make the decision and I take responsibility for the decision I make. Additionally it identified that I do not feel the need to please others and don’t make decisions based on others expectations. Furthermore it said that I am willing to compromise and that I seem ot understand the limitations of reality and I am not be able to have all of what I want. In summary it say that I should collect information and invest time and energy into the decision making process. I should consult those closest to me when making a decision, along with, consulting with professionals already in the field. I need to be aware of how my decisions can impact others. Remembering these will help me during the career decisions making process in the
After taking the career inventory assessments last week, I found the results to be very interesting. For the interest profiler instrument, my scores were high in both social and artistic which I found to be not surprising. My first highest score that I received for the social was a ten, and the second highest score that I received for the artistic area was a one. As for the scores in realistic, investigative, enterprising, and conventional, my score was a zero in those areas. For the work importance locater instrument, my highest scores were in achievement and recognition. I received a score of thirty in achievement, and a score of twenty six in recognition. For the scores in the other work values: independence (16), working conditions (16),
During the power point on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as the instructor went through the different types of personalities, I was able to recognize which subcategories I fall into almost instantly. When my computer personality test results were returned, I was correct. As I read the type descriptions of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging- ENFJ- I quickly recognized myself within the descriptive words.
In 1980, Donald Super introduced a theory that described career development in terms of life stages and life roles. Super was one of the first theorists to discuss the constantly evolving nature of career development, and the importance of finding a balance between career and personal life. Super’s developmental model emphasized how personal experiences interact with occupational preferences in creating one’s self-concept. Super discussed how each of us progress through various life and career development stages, including growth, exploration, establishment, maintenance, and disengagement. He also discussed that each of us take on different roles as we go through life, such as a child, student, leisurite, citizen, worker, parent, and spouse. Each of these roles has an impact on our personal and professional development, and on our work/life balance. Finally, his “archway” of career determinants detailed how both personality characteristics (intelligence, needs, values) and societal characteristics (labor market, school, family) influence our career choices and have a major impact on our career development.
There are multiple theories of personality and leadership assessments that have proven effective in helping individuals achieve their full career potential. The “Big Five” theory of personality, for example, measures the five broad areas of personality, including extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience (Srivastava, 2015). Other types of assessments, such as the more simple leadership assessment we explored, simply measure leadership qualities, such as emotional intelligence and confidence. In exploring a couple of such resources in more depth, such as the leadership assessment provided by the University of Kent’s Career Enhancement Center, as well as the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, it is clear that understanding more about oneself can lead to enhanced career choices.
I used the MMDI test which gives you similar result to the Myers-Briggs test. My results were ESTJ. The letter E stands for Extraversion. An extrovert gets their energy from other people and tends to like working in groups. They typically learn though interacting with their surrounds and engaging with the environment. S stands for sensing. This scale focuses on how you receive information. These people learn from facts, typically have more common sense, and are good with memorizing facts. Next, letter is a T, which stands for thinking. This scale tells you how you like to make decisions. These people typically use logic and reasoning to make decisions and analyze and weigh different evidence when trying to make different decisions. Lastly, I tested the letter J, which stands for judging. This scale tells the person about their life style and work habits. These people typically live a very structured and orderly life. They are known to plan ahead and are very well organized.
