For the Holland survey, the highest theme that I received was “Enterprising.” According to Careerassessment.com, people with this personality theme “like to lead and persuade people, and to sell things and ideas. They generally avoid activities that require careful observation and scientific, analytical thinking.” Enterprising type people are typically good at leading other people, and also selling things or ideas. They tend to value success in politics and business and are seen as energetic and ambitious. Those who score high on The Strong Interest Inventory Enterprising Theme are known as “Persuaders,” according to Careerassessment.com. They and seek positions of leadership, power, and status.

People who enjoy being reserved and don’t enjoy confrontation. These people tend to be kind and considerate and always thinking practical. While people with this personality type are introverted and tend to be quiet, they are keen observers and are focused on other people. Even though they are known to be quiet with standoffish behavior, ISFJs are usually full of compassion and care for others. While ISFJs are good at understanding the emotions, they often struggle to express their own feelings. Rather than share their feelings, they may bottle them up, sometimes to the point that negative feelings toward other people can result. ISFJs tend to have a small group of very close friends. While they may be quiet and reserved around people they don’t know well, they are more likely to "let loose" when they are around these close confidants. They place a high value on these close friendships and are always willing to support and care for the people they are close …show more content…
I thought it was a great survey and very helpful in making a career decision. Some of the current skills that I already have are; designing events, motivating others, prioritizing tasks, team building, arranging social events, and promoting. All of the skills are going to be useful in my career as a Promotions Manager for the Media. The Promotions manager must be able to work well under pressure and meet tight deadlines. Therefore, they must be able to prioritize tasks. They must have excellent visual and written communication skills to be able to communicate well with other team members. Promotion managers must be able to sell and motivate others to recognize their specific brand or
The NFs temperament is described as a friendly person that is always thinking about how to make other people happy. Also, the person tries to maintain conflict away from his/her life by keeping morale high in the group and nurturing self-image in his/her family members. Furthermore, is important to maintain friends, family, and colleagues part of the circle, so no one feels left out. According to Kiersey (1998), “Myers saw her fellow NFs as ‘humane’ and ‘sympathetic’-as ‘enthusiastic’ and ‘religious’- as ‘creative’ and ‘intuitive’- and as ‘insightful’ and ‘subjective’” (p. 19). For example, NFs like to maintain a friendly environment, so he/she uplifts the self-esteem of other people.
I like to have things settled and organized because it acts as a motivator to accomplish all of the things necessary. Also, I feel more comfortable when decisions are made so we can just move on and forget about them. ISFJs tend to organize around their values. I will often set my priorities in terms of the people that are most important to me and do what is required to serve my key values (Hirsh&Kummerow,1989). By having feeling judgment as the dominant mental process, I tend to direct my life toward human values, harmony, and tend to be more alert to the human issues in any situation

The assessment helped me to deeply think about my career and the things that I would want in the organization that I hope to work for. I believe it to be an accurate assessment and helps an individual put what is important to them into perspective. It is often helpful in career counseling to have an indication of where the client is in terms of career decision or indecision (Whiston. 2017). This tool

ENTJ, is known as “The Field Marshal” or “The Executive.” Sources say my personality type has the potential to make great CEO’s or politicians. According to my research; ENTJ’s are known to have excellent speaking skills: which can assist in making public addresses or explaining new business models to a board of directors from a power point. ENTJ’s are also known to hold very high standards and expect the same from their peers/ employees; which makes them excellent managers.

ENTJ’s take all the theoretical knowledge they have obtained and use it to produce
I am an INFJ. I have introverted intuition with extraverted feeling. I have a quiet exterior yet am a protector of those around me. I am deeply concerned with my relationships on an individual level. I greatly value knowing people on a one to one basis. I carry this passion into my close relationships. One relationship of significance is with my boyfriend, Adam. I, as an INFJ, prefer to have everything orderly and systematic whereas he is more relaxed and easygoing. I know that I irritate him when I constantly define and re-define the priorities in my life. I, similarly to many other INFJs, have an uncanny insight into people and situations. I receive "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. At times, this can be a little frightening for others. Adam tends to be much more vocal about his feelings and thoughts whereas I am protective of my inner self and share only what I deem appropriate. He does not like that I hold back part of myself and can be secretive. In part, I understand that in a relationship there needs to be open communication and willingness to share. We...
My results said that I have an ISFJ personality. My scores were introvert (56%), Sensing (31%), Feeling (16%), and Judging (44%). The assessment stated that ISFJs frequently find themselves in occupations that either involves a lot of dealings with other people and require thoroughness and persistence. They work in organizations of various sizes and industries, where as a rule they work with people. Very often ISFJs recognize their potential in healthcare (nurse, patient care, and medical services, as well as administrative jobs) and several community care organizations. I do agree with some of the Jung Typology Seal assessments. I agree with being an introvert since I am a person that is reserved and to myself half of the time, but, on the other hand, I do like to serve others. I do not agree that I am overworked. If I get to the point to where I feel overworked, I will go to my boss and discuss the matter, so that I can get help with my work before resulting in some of extent psychosomatic illnesses. I agree with the part about working best with a small group or one-on-one situation. I also agree with the traditional careers for ISFJs attitude that include: teaching, social work, most religious work, nursing, clerical and secretarial work of any kind, and some

From the late sixteenth to early seventeenth century, the cooperation between the Spanish and indigenous nobles of the Andes allowed for a unique colonial culture. The execution of the last Inca king, Tupac Amaru I by the Spanish, in 1572, signified the end of the Inca rule over the Andes. However, once in control, the Spanish government consisted of only a few administrators and officials to cover their newly acquired, vast territory, and mass citizenry. The Spanish began to depend on native elites, or kuraka, to run its empire. Perhaps, the dependence of the Spanish on the indigenous people allowed for greater tolerance of cultural continuities.

According to Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey (2017), John Holland’s theory of types has been described as providing a relationship between one’s job and personality characteristic. Holland believes that an individual’s choice of career is an expression of their personality (Ohler & Levinson, 2012). Therefore, people will seek out an environment they are most comfortable with in exercising their skills and values. For example, the enterprising type may prefer a job as a manager or business owner (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017). Also, the enterprising type has more of a dominant or popular personality (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017). Therefore, Holland proposed six personality types described as realistic, investigative, artistic, social, and enterprising.
After taking the StrenghtsQuest and the Holland Interest Inventory I have realized a lot of points that I’ve never realized before. I have realized there are certain things that I did know about but I just never justified the interest in knowing about it. 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.
