Personality - What Makes You Unique

The next piece of the puzzle, Personality, is a fascinating and complex area of assessment. People take personality tests to learn more about themselves and to find their "type". Popular assessments include the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) and the 16 Personality Factors (16PF) test. (MBTI, Myers-Briggs and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator are trademarks or registered trademarks of the MBTI Trust, Inc.)

Understanding your personality is also helpful in career planning. For example, an introverted person is unlikely to be successful in

Workplace Fit - Introduction

Holland's Theory

Your free report will help you find the careers and work environments that fit your personality.
John Holland* developed a widely-accepted theory that has been used in career counseling since the 1970's. According to his RIASEC theory, there are six different approaches to the world of work. Since Holland conducted his work, our economy has transitioned from a manufacturing-based economy that existed in the 70s to a service-based economy that exists now. LiveCareer has added a seventh approach to the world of work to reflect aspects of the service-based economy. It describes individuals who enjoy people, like variety, and work in the fields of hospitality, travel, and personal care. We have labeled this new approach "Attentive (Servers)". The full seven approaches are listed below:

Realistic (Doers)
Investigative (Thinkers)
Artistic (Creators)
Social (Helpers)
Enterprising (Persuaders)
Conventional (Organizers)
T - Attentive - (Servers)
Are you a Doer, a Thinker or a Creator? Get a clear understanding of the kinds of work environments that are best suited for your unique personality.

How happy you feel at work largely depends on how well your approach to work fits with your work environment. Research has shown that people with similar work preferences are attracted to each other and create work environments that are most compatible with their own personality types. For example, Artistic people tend to "flock together" and develop work environments that encourage free expression and creativity.

Your Workplace Fit Graph
Page 8 of 14

Your workplace fit results can be viewed as a graph. Just as each of us is unique, every graph is a one-of-a-kind snapshot of your individual set of preferences. Keep in mind that everyone scores high in some areas and low in others. High or low scores aren't good or bad, they simply illustrate your compatibility with different work environments. No one scores equally high on all 7 scales (nor would you want to).
