Taking A Personality Test And Seeing If They Match With Someone 's Career Choices

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

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.

After doing the personality tests on Indiana Career Explorer, the tests gave me a couple of examples of fields I would be successful in, it told me what values may be important to me in a workplace environment. I feel these assessments were spot on and I have more confidence in my ability to be successful in my career choice.

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.

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.”

The connection of personality, interests and careers would be to get a career you have to have interests in and your personality what makes the job fun and enjoyable. The personality test did help me in a way. I already had a job in mind but the test just got me thinking of more. Based on my research of my ESFJ Myers Briggs Personality type and of my Interest Indicator social type careers, I have chosen the career of an Emergency Medical Technician.

After speaking and processing the wealth of information Mrs. Bowman bestowed, it was difficult to decide on a specific direction to explain career counseling. Mrs. Bowman mentioned she had taken the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, at least once. She believed her type was ESTJ, which she believes, fits her personality. ESTJ’s are born to manage and people depend on them (ESTJ Personality Type, n.d.). ESTJ’s hold positions of

In order to be successful, people have to choose a career that fits their personality type. Finding the right job is not easy for most of the people because of their lack of awareness about themselves. As a result, psychologists made a couple of personality tests which help people find their proper career path. The results from personality tests demonstrate that Sheila is an extroverted person who is artistic, social, and investigative.

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.

After the person completes their choice based on their response or feeling towards different scenarios that are given, they will receive information on their personality. This will help inform the person of what career path is most suited for them based on their personality traits and how they work in a team. After taking the test I was able to find out things that I would not have noticed. The test evaluated that my personality is an ISFP type, which stands for Introversion, Sensor, Feeling, and Perceptive. The description fits with my personality. I am reserved to people I meet for the first time where I do not casually talk to them, but outgoing and friendly once I get to know them. People who create a positive environment and is supportive of me is easier to communicate with due to their respectfulness of others. For instance, when working with a ISFP team, the work environment will be fun interactions and problem solving while accommodating other members of the team. This environment has ease of communication where members problem solve together with positive reinforcement while assisting other members to find

The use of personality, interest, and values assessments are very crucial in overall career decisions. One should never choose a career unless they know it fits their personality, needs, and level of happiness. As Confucius once said, “Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. If we don’t choose a job that we like and enjoy doing, we may last a few weeks, months, or even years, but after a while we will feel like we are at a dead end job, doing the same thing every day, which may lead to not only stress on yourself, but also your family.

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.

Though a generally overlooked and unappreciated field of work, career counseling has made significant impact in the field of psychology. Frank Parsons’ 1906 lecture, “The Ideal City,” emphasizes the need for young people to receive assistance in choosing a vocation (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2013). Further, Parsons was one of the pioneers in linking personality traits to vocational success, thus coining him as the father of vocational guidance (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2013).

Companies have started to use personality tests in the past five years so that they can find a potential employee’s strengths and weaknesses. If questions and answers are quite accurate and test is done properly it can help an employer to find more about person’s advantages and disadvantages. It is very important to know because one of the most important points is that most of personality tests help to recognize unqualified candidates. “Although experts warn that many personality assessments don't deliver what they promise, legitimate scientifically validated tests are helping employers evaluate job candidates to select those best suited for particular positions. Other tests are designed to measure intelligence, honesty, management aptitude and other qualities.”

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).
