Personality Assessments

BRIEF SUMMARY

KEY POINTS

RESOURCES

• Senior Career Information Sheet using MBTI
• YouScience which costs $29 and utilizes personality insights along with aptitudes in sequencing, math, vocab, etc.
• 16personalities – based on Myers-Briggs (free)

SHARED WISDOM

• [I] loved doing Holland Codes from various internet sources once a year in grades 7-11 and plotting them on a World of Work Map from ACT to see what pattern emerged over the five years. Then I would use a MBTI for seniors and spend several days exploring their Holland Codes (including from ASVAB as 11th graders) as well as their MBTI results.
• MBTI also has some entertaining and enlightening explanations of the 16 types using Star Wars characters, prayers, etc. I always found that seniors benefited greatly from seeing how their interests compared over five years with relation to Holland Codes and careers and then bringing in personalities (which I see as vastly different than interests)
