Discover Your Personality Through On Line Testing
By Stephen Tiebout
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
Tests You Should Take at Ransdell Associates
Consider taking one of the test packages such as the "Professional
Career Package" useful with managing career change and conflict,
or the "Maximum Career Package" for enhancing communication,
staying motivated, and career development. Review all six "Test
Packages" and pick the one that will best help you maximize your
learning curve in understanding your personality in relation to
career preferences.
Many people use the MBTI as a place to start their career search. I
believe that's a good idea. The" MBTI Interpretive Report for
Organizations" relates your MBTI preferences to likes and dislikes
in work settings. If your primary interest is career validation or
career change take the "MBTI Career Report" or the combined
"Strong and MBTI Career report". The MBTI Career report is a
graphic representation of your best occupational matches along
with a list of the 50 most popular and the 25 least popular careers
for your personality type.
Be sure to read the sample report on The MBTI Career Report and
the sample report on the Combined Strong and MBTI Career
Report. Many people struggle to find a career that they will be
happy 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. Your personalized report identifies your
optimum career choices based on your interests and includes
additional related occupations with concise job descriptions.

under "Career Testing". Two of the reports combine the MBTI and
Strong.
