  • Interest Inventory Reflection

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    When given my strong interest inventory results, I wasn’t all that surprised to find that my general interest code is a CAI, it seemed to reflect my interests rather well. What did surprise me about my general interest code was that, according to our presenter, it was rare. According to the information we covered in class, the six personality themes can be placed around a hexagon, similar interest themes as neighboring one another, and “opposite” interest themes across from each other. The odd thing about the interest code CAI, is that its two leading interests are in some ways opposite from each other, making it inconsistent. Although this result may be irregular, upon further reading about the personality types it makes sense to me, and even is reflected in my interests, Artistic and Conventional.

    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.

  • Analysis Of Goodwill Hunting

    839 Words  | 2 Pages

    When you think of the film Goodwill Hunting the first thing to come to mind is a Cinderella story. A story that shows a boy starting at the bottom and making it all the way to the top through events of change. This is not the case if you keep looking for the deeper meaning because Goodwill Hunting is not a coming of age tale it is a story of real events. Will does not wake up one day and his life is totally changed, he has to go out and change who he is in order to grow up. He is not gifted money or opportunity instead he must use what he has and make something for himself. These characteristics of the film are what make it different from every other coming of age tale.
