Strong Interest Inventory Analysis

Using the GCIS skills assessment, I placed my top 5 skills as dependability, integrity, attention to detail, analyzing, and decision making. My top three personality types are Enterprising, Conventional, and Social and Investigative both have the same score. Enterprising I had the highest score of 39, enterprising is being competitive and liking to be in control and lead others. Also being responsible for getting your own work done and supervising others. I feel like enterprising is a great type for me to have, because to get the job I want and to climb in my field it will help to be competitive, also being able to lead others is great so when I have reached the pinnacle of the ladder I will be able to lead my fellow coworkers. Conventional was my second highest type at 33, conventional means I like to keep things in order, I do things careful and the right way, and use clear instructions and rules to do so. Conventional will also help me in my field

My next aspect is something that relaxes me I’m Good at, and I enjoy; Art. Art is probably my favorite subject(sorry Ms.Panas) because it is easy for me and cause, I love art. Art has always been my favorite subject because there’s so many parts that makes it up, that I enjoy! For example drawing, painting,sculpting, digital art etc.

The Holland Code Assessment helped me to find my key interests. My top interest was in the conventional area. Before I took the assessment, I had a strong desire to have all the areas of my life structured. I find myself to be “by the book” at times, but I do exercise flexibility when it counts. When it comes to my work as a waitress for BJ’s Restaurants, I have to multitask, which can often be challenging. What makes my job easier is when I have the tables in my station served with a game plan. Whenever I am organized at work, it really

As an educator and advisor, I am very interested in student interest inventories. Working in the classroom, it can be very difficult to assess interest of students when choosing thematic units or classroom project. As a college advisor, I am constantly searching for resources to help my students choose a future career path. I completed research and found three popular interest inventories- the Strong Interest Inventory, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Clifton Strengths Finder. Each of the three assessments analyze the same general theme of interest, personality and career choice. I have analyzed each to determine the best interest inventory to use with my students.

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.

Based on the results for the Temperament Sorter and my experience working with others, the biggest challenge I run into while at work is working with others that do not know what is expected of them. According to the profile, I work best in an environment where everyone knows exactly what is expected of them. I agree with this wholeheartedly. While I do enjoy teaching and precepting orientees, I quickly lose patience for staff that require constant direction and hand holding.

My top three preferred traits from the Holland Career Inventory were Artistic, Social, and Enterprising. I believe the results are right on the mark since my B.A. was in Studio Art and I am a Special Education Teacher. I employ my art background in my class and our CTE program. In my class, my students learn in all modalities often creating amazing study guides and this year I am going to incorporate visual notetaking. I adore the freedom I have as a teacher. In our CTE programs, I create posters, brochures, and other items using Adobe and other products. Becoming a teacher has brought out my social and enterprising side and the development of these areas helped me become a part of our CTE pathways. Every opportunity I go out into the

I do like to work under a strong leader with set instructions. But, I always like to solve problems and search for answers. Lastly, throughout my life, I've have always been a helper and always found it personally rewarding to service anyone in need. These scores relate to your career goal because it confirms that my career path that I have chosen will be a good career path for me. The health care program management appeals to my social interest, because I am going to be providing a service to patience's and making sure that their information is in order. It appeals to my investigative interest because I will be solving any issues, technological or patient problems that could arise during the day. Lastly, it is attractive to my conventional interest because I will have a set schedule and a number of tasks to do in order to make sure the clinic is running

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

The Strong Interest Inventory Profile and Interpretive Report measures an individuals interest and not their intelligence, skills or capabilities (Grutter & Hammer, 2012). The assessment can be a useful tool to help guide an individual in their professional development to explore areas that interest them the most. First, the counselor should check the validity of the report by comparing the percentage of responses and typicality Index which (Whiston, 2013).

Things how I relate to things, in prioriy order working with things, manipulation and processes, and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or objects, highlights my worker trait section. The results states that my preferences and motivations in vocational are not oriented toward routine, alert monitoring, recording, and reportings of operational or machine processes. Such activity is too clerical for my preferences. As I was told by my husband I don’t have mechanical savvy. The findings also explained that I would be more likely not motivated to engage in activities requiring close, constant attention to precise standards. My motivations are not compatible with assembly activity where one is locked into operatopnal processes. So manual labor is definelty out of the question for any job I will work at in the near future.

My first and top area of interest was investigative. This describes me well because I like thinking things out. I've always enjoyed watching detective shows where the detective has to look at clues and think about everything to figure out the crime. My second interest area was social. It made sense to me when this was one of my interests because I enjoy helping people. I like tutoring kids and I could see myself being a teacher one day as a backup plan, if things don’t work out with medical school.

As far as true passions go, I've always worried about being a lousy artist. This was evident in the time I was assigned to design my team's logo for our Race Car Club's first competition. Graphic design was untouched territory for me along with leadership as I was not only the artist of this club but also the president.
