Joseph imburgri, president of Diagnostic Sciences in Chicago, suggests that you ask yourself the following questions to determine whether you are a good candidate for vocational testing to clarify your skills, interests, values, and personality style:
1. Do you need to have things spelled out in detail before you are comfortable making a decision?
2. Is it difficult for you to express your career interests and personal strengths?
3. Do you tend to be impulsive and make rash decisions?
4. Do your career interests tend to fluctuate, making it hard for you to know what you want to do?
5. Do you feel overwhelmed by information and long to have it organized more effectively to help in your decision making?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, vocational testing might help you clarify your aptitudes, interests and goals.
Should you take any of the various self-assessment tools to help you understand your personality, skills, or aptitudes? Diane Goldner, a New York writer, took the Campbell interest and skill survey and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test which suggested a number of possible suitable careers. Among others, both indicated she’d make a good writer. Perhaps, she concludes, there’s a value in getting a second or third opinion that confirms your self-Knowledge.
Great speakers constantly work on ways to improve their performances. They don’t think of any of their work as difficult. Every aspect is pleasure because they love speaking so much.
