The rest of my job profile

In Terms of Your Independence vs Your Need to Be in the 'Team'
You would work best and with the greatest satisfaction in a group of people who are like you in their strong commitment to the 'team'. You would enjoy the kind of technical, intellectual and personal interactions that come with working in a close-knit team. You would accept supervision but would also like to co-direct the group on some projects or in some parts of the job.

In Terms of Your Orientation Towards the 'People' Side of Business
You would be described as extremely sociable, entertaining, cheerful, genial and outgoing. In addition to being a fluent talker, you would be comfortable with new people, value social interaction and make new friends easily. Generally, you would be a good company representative and have the ability to communicate with a wide variety of people in a number of different functions. Being extremely sociable could make you somewhat sensitive to rejection.

In Terms of Your Orientation Towards Technical & Practical Concerns
You would be described as quite logical, reflective, analytical, factual and practical. A job requiring the solving of intellectual or conceptual problems would stimulate a person such as yourself. You would have a flair for technically oriented and detailed work. Taking on challenges to learn and use new information in a field that interests you would be rewarding in itself.


What Should You Look for In a Job/Career that Matches You Best?

+ Look for a career position which will have both social value in terms of what the function does to help others and personal security in terms of the opportunities it offers to you to make a long term, ongoing commitment of your talents and energy.

+ You should seek opportunities to work most or all of the time in a group that comprises people like you who are also strong on the 'team' approach to getting the job done.

+ Look for employment that provides you with lots of people contact on a daily basis. A job with a great deal of person to person interaction and public relations opportunities would be ideal for you.

+ A job with some learning and technical requirements would be quite satisfying. The opportunity to be creative and to put your new found knowledge into action would also be appealing to you.

What Should You Avoid in Jobs/Careers that Don't Match You?


- Avoid positions which you feel have little value in terms of their impact on the quality of life of the people who receive the product or service. A job with intense, short term and repeating 'production' requirements would not give you the best opportunity to employ your talents and energy effectively.

- Avoid work situations in which there is lax supervision and those situations which essentially prevent you from becoming part of a 'team' to get the job done.

- You should avoid employment that would isolate you from people. A job that lacks social interaction would not be adequately stimulating and rewarding to you.

- You should avoid jobs that are not intellectually challenging, creative and those that do not offer a chance for personal growth in a technical or practical sense.
