• Read each of the 6 descriptions below to determine which one(s) describe you best.
• With 100 COMBINED points total to distribute, give each of the 6 types in bold a point-value based on how accurately each paragraph describes you. (When finished, each area should have at least 1 point, and the points for all 6 areas should add up to exactly 100.)
• When finished, send a screenshot of this document to your MyCareerIQ.net consultant. (This is the short version. When you are done, if you are doubting the accuracy of your choices and want to take the long version, let your consultant know and you will be sent a longer questionnaire that will “do the math” for you.)
___ Realistic (Doer). People who like to work with “things” and are “assertive and competitive.” They tend to focus on “activities requiring motor coordination, skill and strength” and “prefer to work a problem through by doing something, rather than talking about it, or sitting and thinking about it.” They are also drawn to “concrete approaches to problem solving, rather than abstract theory” and “scientific” and “mechanical” areas, rather than “aesthetic” ones.
___ Investigative (Thinker). People who prefer “to think and observe rather than act,” and “to organize and understand information rather than to persuade.” They are also drawn to working with “data” over working with “people.”
___ Artistic (Creator). People who like to work with “ideas and things.” They tend to be “creative, open, inventive, original, perceptive, sensitive, independent and emotional.” They rebel against “structure and rules” and dislike “tasks involving people or physical skills.”
___ Social (Helper). People who like to work with “people” and who “seem to satisfy their needs in teaching or helping situations.” They tend to be “drawn more to seek close relationships with other people and are less apt to want to be really intellectual or physical.”
___ Enterprising (Persuader). People who like to work with “people and data.” They tend to be “good talkers and use this skill to lead or persuade others.” They are also drawn to high power situations, valuing “power, money and status.”
___ Conventional (Organizer). People who prefer to work with “data” and who “like rules and regulations and emphasize self-control…they like structure and order, and dislike unstructured or unclear work and interpersonal situations.” They also value “power” and “status.”
