The Strong Interest Inventory Survey is used for people who are assessing a career. The survey can help you decide on a career that best fits you, especially if you are unsure of what job you would like to do. The test then asks for questions about yourself, and how you are as a person. Once it gathers the data about you, it processes the information to give you 6 results: Realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. Whatever one that you scored the highest is the one that best suits you, and what career you should look into. Something that I learned from the Strong Survey was that I am a social person. This was a little weird, since on that last survey I was considered an introvert, I guess I am somewhat in …show more content…
I do agree with the results to an extent, I say this because I personally think I fit exceptionally well into the interests of conventional and investigative. I enjoy science and mathematics very much in school, and they have always been my favorite classes to take. The only thing that I do not know entirely about is as I mentioned above about being social. I think as I grow older, and find myself more it will become more apparent or not if I am a social person. The careers that caught my interest while looking over my results were: medical service, healthcare, mathematics, science, and taxes/accounting. These fit well into what I like to do, as well as being something I take high interest in for college. Another one that came up was teaching and education. It is something that I have looked into but have not decided if that is the route I would like to go into. Teaching is something that I do enjoy to do, especially with younger children since I have a very young sister and the patience for it. One thing that I have not made up my mind about is if it is something that I want to do the rest of my life. It is something that I will be looking into since it can be a very rewarding
I had the opportunity to take the 16 Careers Cluster Inventory. I found the assessment very easy to take. As well, I found the inventory easy to score. My results of the assessment indicated my top three career areas were: 1. Educational and Training, 2. Health Sciences, and 3 had a three way tie between Human Services, Hospitality, and Law enforcement. I found the assessment to be dead on. Based upon the past personality inventories that I have taken I found the suggested areas very appropriate. One of the appealing aspects of the inventory was the easy of taking it! It seemed to gather accurate information without being overly pathological and test-driven.
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 for our future decisions.
First, by reading over my results it was very helpful to understand why I like putting others before myself, defending those who need it, and always serving others because I am the defender and that’s what 13% of the people around the world do. It is also helpful to understand why I am shyer and introverted because I put others before myself and I serve them. I also felt that by knowing what I am stronger at or weaker of so I know how to approach any situation in the future. The one thing that I found to be least helpful is that even though I know my negative traits, it will be very hard to break those habits because those qualities define who I am. Some of my most accurate responses were supportive, reliable, being a great family man and husband, caring, imaginative and observant, loyal, enthusiastic, hardworking and an admirable employee. Altogether, there was nothing that does not define who I am. These results for me were actually highly
Do you have a willingness to self-disclose? How receptive are you? How do you feel about what the scores told you about yourself? I do not have the willingness to self-disclose and I am not very receptive towards my peers. I feel that my scores better assured what I already knew about myself and makes it aware that I have trust issues and that I do not feel comfortable disclosing personal information to others.
However, I feel when it comes to being conventional, I feel that I’m more of original then conventional because, of how I tend to be more creative and curious about things happening around me and usually tend to wonder a lot. Especially with my field choice early childhood I feel that being creative is another important trait so I feel that because of the field and just in general that at times I’m more of an original then being conventional because at times I tend to be more of a curious but, I do tend to be a down to earth person so I feel like with this one I’m somewhere in the middle with this one. Looking at all the other results I think they were pretty accurate because, looking into them they do seem to sound like traits I have or would consider that I have at
AVID is a fun and educational elective that prepares me to go to college. AVID has also been helping me reach goals that I would had never expected to achieve.This elective has been really helpful for me but at the same time I am having some trouble in keeping up with work for class.I get a lower grade in AVID than in any other classes, so AVID is bringing my GPA down due to all the work. If I stay in AVID, then I don’t get the choice of any other electives besides Band, Chorus, and Orchestra. If I also had the choice to pick any elective with AVID like Spanish for example then I would remain in AVID.
I am always a little nervous and hesitant when I begin writing an essay. Ever since I was little I was an honor roll student, passed all my tests, was placed in honors and AP classes, and eventually graduated a year early from high school. I used to be so confident when I would begin writing a paper, I could finish it within a couple minutes. During junior year of high school, I began taking duel credit classes. I was passing all the classes so far until I reached English 111. It was an 8-week course and I started to get overwhelmed. All throughout the course I was having a little bit of trouble on the essays. I would still receive a passing grade, but it wasn’t an A. I began becoming a little discouraged and didn’t understand what was going
Up until this year, before taking the class intermediate composition, I thought I was a terrible writer. I was right. Writing isn’t something that I enjoy doing, nor am I good at. Writing is difficult for me because I’m not very good at explaining things in a professional manner, that can be easily well written. While writing you are expected to make little to no mistakes, which is not something I’m great at. I am so much better at explaining things with verbal words rather than written words. I had not taken any extra writing classes before this year rather than the mandatory ones. Like I had stated before, I hate writing, with a passion. I dread writing anything, especially an essay for school, like this one. I’m
Ultimately, a human’s personality is much more detailed than a few adjectives. Additionally, one’s profession should never be based on what a quiz suggests, as there are numerous attributes that a test cannot point out. Consider if you will that although the test did not reveal that I hold a strength of feeling, when it comes to children, my heart is touched and more inclined to offer an emotional response. Thus, in my opinion, if tests such as these were used to determine what job one should hold, more individual would remain jobless, be it due to the denial of a position or from a lack of interest for positions that appear to be fitting according to test results. This being said, if this determined career eligibility, the world would be even more chaotic than it is currently, with much more dissatisfaction within the workplace. Ultimately, I know in my case, I would not be as pleased and driven to accomplish my goals if I were under the impression that my personality results could cause me denial of the career I am
According to dictionary.com, “any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling” constitutes something as a passion. Passions can be either positive or negative. In my life, my passions influence my actions and my goals for the future. My goals have been a part of my life since I can remember and there are certain personality traits and motivators of mine that push me to accomplish these goals. My passions have originated from events I have gone through and realizations that I have come to. These huge motivators in my life include my desire for happiness, my determination to succeed, and my desire to help others.
After taking the survey, my results depicted that my primary style of thinking is Affiliative. I find this someone accurate in how I live my life, however there are characteristics I exhibit which diminish my affliliative personality. I find that I am continuously trying to find that perfect relationship or bond with someone. Frankly, I find it hard to make connections with others because my continuous need to be perfect. I find that my closest and best relationships are those who have common values, way of living, and ideals about living life. Once I find a relationship that is trusting, I try to maintain it to my best ability. I am very easy to talk to, however my best communication is with others that have the same values. I express my liking for the other person by showing some generosity and kindness.
“The Power of Curiosity” is an article from Curious? Discover the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life (published in May 2010) that can certainly change one’s perspective on their outlook on life. How? The author, Todd Kashdan, explains how curiosity actually has a lot of beneficial traits that we are not aware of, but if we think about it, it is exposed in our everyday life. How was the author so convincing for us to believe that being curious can actually benefit an individual? The purpose of this article was to target those who are interested in a different and healthy lifestyle. Due to the fact that the article was published in a fitness magazine, it was intended to promote a better style of living, therefore it was automatic that the author had to use his words wisely and the way he presented the material. Kashdan uses ethos, pathos, and logos to convince his audience about his argument that curiosity has enhancing benefits towards our lives and that we should involve ourselves towards them.
that test was my personality type which is (ISTJ) Introvert, Sensing, Thinking and Judging. I
After taking the StrenghtsQuest and the Holland Interest Inventory I have realized a lot of points that I’ve never realized before.

After much consideration I’m honestly not sure if my career that I’m looking into is really what is going to fit my profile. I’m going to tell you my top three scores from the Holland Interest Inventory and the top five StrengthsQuest.
