Assessments

I went and took the Myers-Briggs and Strong Interest Inventory and here are the results according to the sheet my teacher wanted us to use.
MBTI Report

1. List your reported type. (Example: ESTJ)
INFP
2. According to your report, what are some of the characteristics that best describe your personality type?
I have a lot of warmth but don’t show it until I know a person really well. I tend to recharge my batteries by myself rather than in a big group. I use my heart and intuition to make decisions.
3. Refer to the list of the 50 most popular occupations page or go to http://www.careervoyages.gov/top50occupations-main.cfm Read the list of occupations, circle the ones that you would like to explore, and list them below.
Speech Pathologist, Librarian, University Professor, School Counselor.

4. How do you believe the occupations you have chosen to explore fit with your personality preferences? Explain how these occupations allow you to work in your preferred work environment.
Some of these professions allow me to work one on one with students without burning out since I am not extroverted. All these careers help me to work in an environment that has a purpose that is bigger than a paycheck. I get to do a combination of working in a team and by myself, which is perfect for me.

4. For the following questions refer to Personal Style Scales on page 8 of your SII profile.

A. Look at your “Work Style” rating. What does your score suggest to you in relation to the occupations you listed above?
I think it fits well with these careers. It says I prefer a balance of working alone and working with people, which makes sense with the careers that were listed.



B. Look at your “Learning Environment” rating. How do the educational requirements of the occupations you listed fit with your interest to pursue additional training?
That fits really well too. It says that I like to learn from books and a lecture, which means it won’t be a problem for me to get a Master’s or PhD which may be needed for some of these careers. And I am pretty sure I will be going back for graduate school at some point anyway,

C. Look at your “Leadership Style” rating. How do these occupations fit your personal style?
I think that could work with these careers. Some require more of a leadership role, but most can be done by leading by example which is my preferred method of leadership. I think a lot of these don’t require a ton of leadership in terms of being a leader over a large group of people.

D. Look at your “Risk Taking/Adventure” rating. Explain how the occupations do or do not match your risk taking style.
They work really well. Most of these careers are very safe and secure. They don’t require a ton of risk taking.


5. What college majors are suggested for your theme code that you find interesting?
Counseling, Elementary Education, Family Studies, Hearing and Speech, Home Economics, Creative Writing, Occupational Therapy, Secondary Education, Special Education, Women’s Studies.

6. Of your top 10 occupations, list 3 you are most interested in and the educational
preparation required for each.
Speech Pathologist-MA or PhD in Speech Pathology
Librarian-Master’s degree in Library science
University Professor-PhD
