Career Direction

----- Mental Aptitudes -----
Mental Acuity
John, you like to take some time to think through, reason and fully understand more difficult, complex problems before arriving at a solution or making a decision, especially if the situation is unfamiliar to you. You probably prefer, in a training situation, to observe an experienced person perform a task and then perform that task yourself, in front of the experienced person, until you feel confident working on your own. Once you learn something, you retain that information for long periods of time.

Business Terms
You have a limited understanding of business terminology, perhaps due to a lack of exposure to business matters or a lack of interest. This dimension measures actual knowledge, however, not ability to learn business terms, should such knowledge be important in the career you pursue.

Memory Recall
You have a slight degree of interest in events occurring in the world around you and may have some knowledge of competitive trends, as well as the economy's affect on business.

Vocabulary
John, your vocabulary is average and should enable you to communicate with others adequately. You may not have the ability to communicate or understand detailed, complex information, however.

Numerical Perception
Your Numerical Perception score is an indication that you may have a vision or concentration problem. Unless corrected, any work that requires that close attention be paid to detail may be difficult for you to complete quickly and with a necessary degree of accuracy. It is possible that you did not understand the instructions on this portion of the evaluation; however, if you did understand the instructions, but simply struggled with the small numbers, you may want to have a thorough vision exam.

Mechanical Interest
You have no interest in machines and may prefer not to work with mechanical equipment. Please note that this mental aptitude measures interest, not mechanical ability.


----- Personality Structure -----

Energy
John, you have a balanced energy and drive level. You can energetically tackle an assignment or project without becoming tense or losing your power of concentration.

Flexibility
You are an ethical, quality-minded individual with a strong sense of integrity. You remain focused on your goals and interested in doing your best. At times a little inflexible, you tend to stick with goals once you have set them and are hesitant to change. Because of this, you could experience difficulty changing direction in your life, if such a need arises. You will adapt to some changes and occasionally attempt to generate new ways of doing things, but will want to be certain your new ideas are right before recommending them.

Organization
You understand the importance of organizing your time and activities, and are usually aware of your priorities. Without being overly rigid in planning, you make the best use possible of the time and resources available to you to reach goals and priorities.

Communication
You enjoy working with people and are a very open, sharing collaborator. You easily and comfortably articulate your own feelings, ideas and knowledge to others. You would not be happy in an environment where you have no opportunity to interact with others.

Emotional Development
John, you have a healthy level of self-confidence without being unrealistic and are not easily deterred if situations occur which slow down your efforts. You believe in yourself, and when faced with obstacles, are patient enough to wait for results.

Assertiveness
You can take control, maintain order, and express your opinions, but are open to the ideas of others and will not actively seek out conflict. You will attempt to influence and direct others, but not to the point of appearing unnecessarily demanding.

Competitiveness
You enjoy competition and are most successful when you are contributing to a group competitive effort. You have a competitive spirit and desire to win, and will work hard to help the team achieve its goals, but may avoid competition against co-workers, feeling that this type of competition could ruin good relationships with others.

Mental Toughness
You have a good level of mental toughness, but are also able to interact with others with an appropriate degree of empathy. You can handle working long hours in order to meet critical deadlines and other organizational objectives, and are not easily bothered by criticism, rejection or other negative aspects of your job.

Questioning/Probing
You are basically trusting, and usually positive and accepting, but not to the point of being gullible. You will probe and look further into issues when necessary, but are not of the opinion that you have to be suspicious of everyone and everything.

Motivation
John, you need some job security, but can be motivated by recognition for your achievements when the rewards are sufficient. You will usually respond to the promise of a raise, bonus, incentive or reward for improved performance.

----- Validity Scales -----

Distortion
You are reasonably fair in assessing your strengths and weaknesses. You have some characteristics that you are not completely happy with and tend not to show others. The validity may be slightly affected by your indirect answers.

Equivocation
You have scored within our acceptable equivocation range.

Development Suggestions
Introduction



The following Personal Development Suggestions have been developed to be given to an individual after hiring, should the appropriate supervisor and/or the individual orienting the individual choose to do so.


The development pages are directed specifically to the individual. The pages can be either removed from the report, or copied, and given to the individual.


The individual who is supervising, leading, directing or coaching new employees may want to review, as part of the employee's orientation process, the job description and the requirements of the job, and at that same time provide the individual this information to assist them in beginning the job on the most effective and efficient basis.


These development suggestions provide guidelines for the individual, recommending actions that can be taken on a daily and weekly basis to become more productive.

Personal Development Suggestions

Flexibility - measures the flexibility and integrity orientation of the person compared to rules,
laws, guidelines, etc.
You are a very quality-minded, reliable individual with a high degree of integrity and strong ethics. You have a strong interest in living up to your promises, and expect the same from others. Since you are, at times, a little inflexible, you could experience difficulty changing direction in your life, even if such a change appears necessary. You prefer to stick with the "tried and proven" ways of doing things, rather than attempting to handle tasks or resolve problems a new way. You are likely to agree to change only when you are convinced the change is necessary.
Your self-affirmation sentence:
"I am flexible and can adapt to change."

Steps to Effect Change

  1. You need to learn that handling life's ever changing demands requires that you become more flexible and expedient. This enables you to handle sudden, critical demands placed on you. Outlining "what if" emergency events and role-playing can start you thinking about alternative solutions to common problems or sudden changes in your personal environment.

  2. You need reinforcement discussions when changes occur in your life. You should constantly remind yourself of the need to maintain a flexible, less rigid approach to life.

  3. To develop the confidence to create and implement change, commit to making one minor change in your life each month. For instance, if you always follow a certain routine in the mornings when getting ready for work, reverse two activities. Once you see that minor changes do not cause major problems and may actually be beneficial, you will become more willing to make significant changes when necessary.

    "Creativity At Work" by Dorothy S. M. Yep
