Social: cooperative, supportive, nurturing, teaching; someone service-minded and interested in working with people

Enterprising:  ambitious, energetic, shows leadership; takes initiative, likes selling/ persuading others, excels in competitive environments

Conventional: detail-oriented/precise, organized, likes structure; someone who picks up routines/systems easily and works best when provided clear direction

 

Reminders:

*When choosing careers, it would be best to only choose careers with a 75% match or higher.  If none of these really interest you, you can consider a 68% match for one career but you must choose a 70-100% match as your second career.

*The descriptions of each personality type above may not match your personality exactly.  Out of the description above, you should single out only 2-3 to focus on for your paragraph (e.g., "creative" and "independent" if you have an "artistic" personality).  Try not to make these too similar (e.g., "original" and "creative" or "inventive" and "innovative").

*Try to select two careers to focus on for your paragraph that can be matched to the 2-3 descriptions you singled out.  For example, if you focus on "creativity" you should find careers that require you to actually be creative.
