Three Career Tests

I believe my results (below) are accurate.

 

1. The free 5 minute Career Test.

The Individualistic Doer

Individualistic Doers like you are self-assured and very independent people. You are a quiet and realistic, very rational, extremely matter of fact person. You strongly cultivate your individualism and enjoy applying your abilities to new tasks. But you are also a very spontaneous and impulsive person.

If one wanted to characterize you with one word, it would probably be “independent.” Few types are as freedom loving and individualistic as you (nomen est omen.) You should find a working environment where rules and structures play a secondary role, where the hierarchies are flat and where you won’t be limited to detailed projects and work flows. Your freedom to act cannot be large enough as far as you are concerned. You want to deal with things in the way you think it makes sense; how they relate to your own (high) standards and you don’t need others telling you how things must be done.

Titles and established authorities don’t impress you in the least. If someone is competent in your eyes, you have no problem occasionally listening to him/her. If he/she is not, there is no way that you’ll obey his/her instructions just because he/ she has got a sign with “department manager” hanging on their door. Furthermore, you are all for equal rights and would prefer that everybody have the same rights.

Deadlines and obligation are just as much anathema to you as is long-term planning. In regulated and hierarchic environments, your direct manner can also get you into trouble. Not all bosses appreciate constructive criticism. Could it be that you already got into trouble in school because you did not feeling like learning something because you believed it to be irrelevant? It is almost impossible for you to silently put up with a dreadful situation in order to avoid conflict. In not too conservative and authoritarian settings, your contribution will probably be more appreciated than in other traditional professional environments.

3. Personality Profile Test

Your Style

People with this temperament style are "go getters", aggressive in chasing their goals and quick to identify opportunities. They focus on achieving financial success and positions of respect and authority. They are thick skinned, tenacious, commercially oriented and financially astute. They are convinced about the need to fight to succeed and, in their determination to get ahead, they are often unaware of the reactions and concerns of others. However, they are often strongly family oriented, being fiercely protective and willing to do just about anything for those close to them. They particularly enjoy self-employment.

Positions of power, authority, esteem and prestige hold great appeal to this style of person, and they can work single-mindedly, with shrewd awareness of political contexts and commercial opportunities. They often find loopholes or opportunities that others may have missed, which allow them to get to where they want to be. They are attracted to positions where there is direct monetary reward for the effort they put in, such as commission based pay structures, and they particularly enjoy the fringe benefits of senior roles, both because these increase life's comforts and because they are status symbols to others.

They experience pressure or frustration when they encounter barriers to their plans, when their work is not recognised, when they have to perform work which lacks prestige, or when they miss out on what appear to be available financial rewards. In the face of such disappointments, they will not lose heart or go down without a fight. They tend to think strategically and are prepared to make whatever moves they believe to be necessary to regain their competitive or financial advantage. They do, however, need to be careful that they do not put others off side or treat staff inconsiderately since, in focussing on business or personal matters, they can disregard the concerns of those around them.

Their work style is uncomplicated in the sense that it is very directly pointed towards getting results that will enhance their prestige, career and salary. They are generally impatient for success and prepared to experiment with new approaches, but may not do the research required to ensure long-term success. They find ways to work smarter rather than harder, but they do need to be careful to avoid putting expedience before quality. In addition, they need to avoid taking snap decisions that do not take all implications into account. They are effective delegators, being attuned to opportunities to work through others rather than handle everything themselves. However, they do need to be careful that they do not over-delegate, that they take staff needs and concerns into account and give the work of others due credit.

Typically, they are confident and outspoken. They can be argumentative when they are confronted, and openly critical of others in authority, but they can also be very polished, professional and flattering in their approach when they feel that others could be useful to them. This can, however, come across as insincere. They often consider softness or gentleness in others to be a weakness and have little sympathy for people experiencing difficulties.

People of this temperament style generally gravitate toward people who are successful. They are keen to be at the hub of the social scene, and enjoy invitations to attend high profile functions. They are not people who feel the need to spend a great deal of time by themselves, generally enjoying being on the go, often networking and being keen to undertake new and interesting social activities in their free time.

Summary and recommended professions

This temperament style is motivated by money and positions of power and authority over others. They demand respect, expect reward for effort and need autonomy to really enjoy their work. As a result, they seek positions such as:

Professional: CEO; General Manager; Construction Manager; Politician; Management Consultant; Self-employed Business Executive; Sales Representative (Big Ticket Items)

Skilled: Self-employed Salesperson; Independent Businessperson; Used Car Salesperson

My daughter has been on school holidays for the last week and a half, so I've had more time on my hands to spend online. What I choose to do with that time is my business.

These are my results:

 

1st test:
The Analytical Thinker

Analytical Thinkers like you are reserved, quiet persons. You like to get to the
bottom of things - curiosity is one of your strongest motives. You want  to know what holds the world together deep down inside. You do not  really need much more to be happy because you are a modest person. Many  mathematicians, philosophers and scientists belong to your type. 

2nd test:

People with this style temperament combine self-discipline and logical persistence towards planned goals and objectives with commercial acumen
and a liking for operating in an entrepreneurial environment. They enjoy a degree of risk taking, but only where they hold the edge through a  detailed analysis of the odds and some degree of control over the  situation. As a result, they tend to be more suited to marketing than  hard sell situations, but really come in to their own in areas such as  business analysis, valuing, construction estimating or actuarial work.
These people are not particularly interested in working with others, though they will if necessary and their acumen and basically  polite nature allows them to present as affable in most people contact  situations. It is only under stress that their objective outlook and demanding standards can lead them to become more forthright and  "matter-of-fact" in their comments. Others may find this off-putting and can view them as cold and uncaring at these times.
They are very concerned with project success, as well as personal growth and development and are, therefore, usually reliable and persistent in the pursuit of agreed targets. They are well organized as a rule and have the ability to focus, while measuring the chances of success in any given situation. Because of their ability to tune in to the political aspects, they can be very valuable in a business environment and make good 'consultants' or 'advisors'. People with this  style do not need a lot of nurturing, like to feel independent and are self-motivated. They particularly enjoy an environment where goals and objectives are loosely set, but they have the opportunity to put their own stamp on things and can display their astuteness and flair for business success. Detailed planners, they can resent interference from others or too many changes once a project is underway and can generally be relied upon to follow through on tasks to completion.



Summary and recommended professions


People with this style like project work that promises substantial financial return and are quite astute, objective, analytical and calculating. As a result they are well suited to activities that require an analytical approach but entail some element of risk, such as:

Professional: Financial Analyst; Stock Broker; Actuary; Professional Gambler; Investment Advisor; Real Estate Professional

Skilled: Project Sales Consultant; Real Estate Salesperson

And this is my field!

Your Style

A careful businessperson, who always disciplines themself to ensure a bottom-line focus and the financial success of a venture, whilst avoiding any pitfalls. This is a constructive critic, with a good eye for a business opportunity and the acumen to capitalise on those that arise. Generally, they will work hard to avoid errors and will check to make sure all potential problems or loopholes are taken care of before the deal is done.

People with this style show some sympathy and concern for others which enables them to be quite affable and pleasant as a rule. However, they still expect others to cope with their own problems and will not want to have to pay for their shortcomings. A degree of hard-headedness will be evident and they will be careful how they spend their hard earned money.

In the work arena, they will do well in areas where the business astuteness and critical care come together - perhaps financial planning or security areas for example. They are disciplined and demanding in their expectations of themselves (and those working with them) and will generally look to maximise return on investment while minimising the risks. More of a specialist than a manager in orientation, they will, nevertheless, accept increased responsibility in the interest of financial gain and personal growth as they are always concerned to continue to learn and develop.

Summary and recommended professions
People with this style seek financial security within a career field that offers some 'calculated risk' but with strong potential for financial success. They like some excitement but not at the cost of long term security. Roles that should appeal include:

Professional: Cost Accountant; Financial Analyst; Risk Investigator; Private Enquiry Agent
Skilled: Auditor; Valuer/Appraiser; Credit Officer

I just don't appreciate people questioning what I do with my time.
