Section III: Personality Type and Traits

C.1 Personality Type

A personality type typically has the potential to influence the career one may pursue later
in life. I completed a variety of personality tests and quizzes, but I found none more accurate

than Carl Jung’s personality type test. My results indicated that I was; Extraverted, Intuitive,
Thinking and Perceiving. Overall, in almost all systems, these characteristics at varying
quantities stated that the top three potential careers that I should be considering are:

- Marketing Specialist

- Software Engineer

- Psychologist

I believe that the results must have been accurate to a pretty high degree, especially
considering that these three occupations are careers I have looked into (prior to taking this test)
and also have an interest in. Moreover, after looking further into the descriptions, I am defined as

someone who has a tendency to be direct, yet creative not only how I carry out my actions, and a
specific example that was stated said that I often would phrase messages with “a finesse of a
world leader, yet with the persuasion of a politician”. I find this to be true, simply because I have
often managed to persuade people without the expectation that they would actually listen. To
address the former, I also attempt to approach my problems in an innovative and original way as
it makes life interesting for not only me, but for those I interact with as well. All in all, by taking
a series of different tests to determine my personality, I learned a lot about not only a few traits

about myself, but about the general career paths I should consider in order to find an occupation
that is best suited my personality.
