Personality/Interests Assesment

For this assignment, you will use the results from your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Strong Interest Inventory (SII) assessments to determine some particular occupations and majors to research.

MBTI Report

1. List your reported type. (ISFP)

2. According to your report, what are some of the characteristics that best describe your personality type?
Great deal of warmth, but may not show it until they know a person well. Deepest feelings are seldom expressed: their inner tenderness is masked by a quiet reserve. In everyday activities they are tolerant, open-minded, flexible and adaptable. Have little wish to impress or dominate. They often excel in craftsmanship and the work of their hands is usually more eloquent than their words. They want to have a purpose beyond their paycheck no matter how big the check. May feel contrast between their inner ideals and their actual accomplishments that they burden themselves with a sense of inadequacy.

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.
Gardener, Tree trimmer, lawn service provider, child care provider, hairdresser.

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.
I like to either do things one on one or alone and I love to be outdoors. Gardening and being with my kids are a couple of my favorite pastimes, so having a job where I could incorporate those things would make it perfect.


SII Report

1. List your general occupational theme code. (RSC)

2. List your 5 Basic Interests Scales and determine what type of interest they represent from the following: vocational, educational, leisure activities, personal interest. (Examples might include: religion-personal interest, teaching-leisure, healthcare-vocational)
Nature and Agriculture, Performing Arts, Military, Office Management, & Teaching and Education.

3. Refer to pages 5, 6, and 7 of your SII profile. Look at all the occupational scales you scored highest in (generally 40 or above), or that have a combination of your theme code. List the occupations from the scales that you might like to research.
Horticulturist, Landscape/Grounds Manager, Elementary School Teacher, Administrative Assistant, Housekeeping/ Maintenance Manager.

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 would be just fine with any of them.



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?
I would have a harder time with Administrative Assistant and School Teacher just because of all the inside University training that is required.


C. Look at your “Leadership Style” rating. How do these occupations fit your personal style?
I would probably enjoy school teacher or manager less than the other occupations.

D. Look at your “Risk Taking/Adventure” rating. Explain how the occupations do or do not match your risk taking style.
All the occupations fit with my small amount of risk taking.


5. What college majors are suggested for your theme code that you find interesting?
Agriculture, Fish and wildlife management, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, Fire Science.

6. Of your top 10 occupations, list 3 you are most interested in and the educational
preparation required for each.
Nusery/Green house manager: Bachelor’s degree or higher, plus work experience. Landscape Architect: Bachelor’s or Master’s, plus state licensing. Elementary School Teacher: Bachelors in Early Childhood Ed., get a 3.0 GPA or higher, and be admitted into the teacher preparation program.
