Focus of assessments
The focus of my self-assessments was to help me find out more information about myself and what would be a good career for me.

There are many different environments and different populations that I could choose to work with. In doing numerous assessments, I am hoping to learn more about myself and validate what I think that I know to be true about myself. Both career and personality assessment would be useful to me.

People with this personality type are more than this, it suggest that your strengths really make up who you are. Some of the strengths this inventory pointed out were supportive, reliable, patient, loyal, hardworking, and enthusiastic.

A lot of what was talked about in this inventory was the desire to help others and not need to be recognized for it. This can lead to underplaying their …show more content…

    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.

    This was also referred to as The Advocate which I thought was very appropriate for our assingment. The results state that The Advocate has a strong sense of morality, likes finding solutions for others and one of the strengths listed was that this personality type makes excellent counselors. This type is known for seeing through manipulation and dishonesty and getting to the heart of matters with truth and sincerity. I can see that all of these personality traits are crucial for helping others and dealing with the conflict that arises when advocating for those who are oppressed and face discrimination. Some of the weaknesses stated for this personality type are perfectionist, impatient, extremely private, sensitive, and burn out easily. As I read the weaknesses, I realized that I need to keep self care a priority throughout my education and future career. It also makes sense that a lot of my self care practices are about introspection and finding balance. I think that this assessment was very accurate of my personality and I enjoyed reading about The Advocate personality
