Today we were introduced to a college and career website name Naviance. Here students can monitor colleges they are interested in and have teachers write letter of reconmendation. One of the most helpful things, I think, is the extensive personality test. After a series of questions Naviance provides a general personality assessment, a list of strenghts and weaknesses, and possible careers that go well with your personality according to what majors you are interested in.
The career options that Naviance suggested for me were interesting and jobs that I had never thought of. For example, a copy writer, crisis hotline operator, or a human resources manager. I plan on really utilizing this extensive list of possible careers to further explore what I really want to do in the future.
As a sidenote Naviance gives its users four letters to describe his or her personality but no explination of what the letters mean. I got ENFP, if anyone oculd tell me what they mean I would appreciate it. Please and thank you!

ReplyDeleteE = Extrovert (so you're outgoing, not reserved)
N = iNterpret (instead of sensing - you tend to put your own spin on reality rather than letting it speak to you on its own terms)
F = Feeling (not thinking - this is how you make decisions: gut over reason)
P = Perceiving (not judging - you welcome others as they are)
From the link above: "ENFPs are people-centered creators with a focus on possibilities and a contagious enthusiasm for new ideas, people and activities. Energetic, warm, and expressive, ENFPs love to help other people explore their their creative potential."
