Discover Your Personality Through On Line Testing
Your career choice can affect your entire life course and
significantly influence your personal satisfaction.
Make right choices in your career development plan with the aid
of The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test and The
Strong Interest Inventory.
First discover your personality type and personal interests.
Then find more meaningful and productive work. Make your career
search easier, plan your development and manage your change.
Research has clearly shown that people are attracted to those
careers that allow them to make use of their natural type
preferences.
The use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test in
career counseling to help people find meaningful and productive
work was one of Isabel Myers' original motivations in the
development of the instrument.
Make your career search or career change easier. The two
primary tools are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
personality test and the Strong Interest Inventory. Both are
useful when applied to career issues and they complement each
other. The Myers-Briggs will help you understand how your
personality affects your career needs. The Strong compares your
interests to those who have expressed satisfaction with their
careers for at least 3 years.
Here are some points to keep in mind when using these tests for
career searches:
Personality type can give you useful information on a variety of
issues related to career choice There is more to your
personality than your type preferences. So when you make career
decisions you will want more information about yourself in
addition to knowledge of your type Combined tests or test
packages can help your target careers that are compatible with
your personality

and successful in. Using a systematic approach to making a
career transition decision can help you identify your ideal
career.
Career Matches and the Strong Interest Inventory
The Strong Interest Inventory is based on the idea that
individuals are more satisfied and productive when they work in
jobs or at tasks that they find interesting and when they work
with people whose interests are similar to their own. The Strong
takes about 25 minutes to complete and contains 317 items that
measure your interests in a wide range of occupations,
occupational activities, hobbies, leisure activities and types
of people. Your interests are compared to thousands of
individuals who report being happy and successful in their jobs.
