My Myers-Briggs code ended up being INTJ. I originally thought it would be INTP. My Holland codes were IRA, IRS, IAR, IAS, ISR, and ISA. I can't say that I was surprised by the results, but I think they confirm a few things, provided that the tests are accurate. The only reason that I thought I might have been perceptive rather than judgmental is because I like to pick up as much information about something as I can before commenting on it or talking about it. The rest of the ones I guessed correctly on. I think that the codes provide an idea of who I am, but I don't agree with all of it. My Holland codes all began with Investigative and then finished with a combination of Artistic, Realistic, and Social. I was a little surprised at the social aspect because even though I like to work with people, I really like to work with ideas and theoretical things. The test also said that my job match was a market research analyst. Investigative means that you like to work with data, but I feel that the job wouldn't fit me very well at all. I have no interest in marketing research. I am much more interesting in the fundamentals of nature than with recommendations and analyzing data for a client.
The Myers-Briggs code that I received makes sense to me. I think that both of these codes reflect my future in some way or another. I think they describe me accurately, and may reflect what I do in the future. The codes somewhat predict what types of classes I might be taking in college and maybe my future career, even if I don't agree with it right now.
As I told you in class, there is nothing scientific about a FREE internet personality test. But, lack of funds prevent us from taking the actual test. I did want to expose you all to these types of tests and have you think about how a job fits into your own personality instead of how your personality fits into the job. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness and reflection with writing your blogs....you are ready for college.
