Vocabulary THE RIGHT JOB FOR YOUR PERSONALITY
Choosing a career is an important life decision, yet many people settle on one based
on the opinions of friends and family. It’s very difficult to find something you really
enjoy doing, but scientists have devised tests to help people come closer to finding
their dream job. Take a look at the six personality types below and see which jobs
might be right for you. Most people are a combination of two or three types.
Realistic
Realistic people like to work with things they can see or touch. They are inclined to
solve problems by doing them, rather than thinking or talking about them. They
generally like to work outside and are good with tools, machines, plants, and animals.
Job matches: carpenter, chef, nurse, pilot
Investigative
People of this personality type value ideas and are strong at tasks that allow them
to investigate facts and figure out complex problems. They are better at individual
work like research and study, rather than leading groups of people or working in
teams. Job matches: computer programmer, historian, psychologist, surgeon
Artistic
Artists are creative people. They don’t work well with structure and rules, and thrive
instead in environments that allow communication and a free flow of ideas. They
enjoy tasks that allow them to express themselves and mix with people. Job matches:
actor, art therapist, graphic designer, writer
Social

Prepared by Bich Dao Ngoc

 Social personalities love to work with people. They get the most satisfaction out of
teaching and helping others, and are driven to serve the community as opposed to
making money. Job matches: coach, counselor, social worker, teacher
Enterprising
Many great leaders and business people have enterprising personalities. These are
persuasive people who are good at making decisions and leading teams. They tend
to value money, power, and status, and will work toward achieving them. Job
matches: business owner, event manager, lawyer, salesperson
Conventional
Conventional people appreciate rules and regulations, and like having structure to
their lives. They are logical thinkers and have a lot of self-control, making them the
perfect people to work with data and details. Job matches: accountant, analyst,
editor, librarian

might be right for them. Why not try it today?
