Career Test

Well, this time our MPU assignment comes to career test. Studies show that 73% of Malaysians are not happy with their job. In my opinion, they do not choose their job according to their passion and what they like to do. It is very important for us to know what suites us well and what do we like? What are our strengths and weaknesses? Therefore, we will not regret for our job in future.

While everyone in this world is unique and different we do all process information in various ways that can be measured. What we can measure gives quite an amazing insight to how we perceive and process information, relate to others, how much emotions play out in our personality, if we are live more in the present or are more focused on our future, etc.

So, this is my career test that I want to share...

Reflection

Personally, I think that this test suites me and can define myself well. I am a person who is Extraverted and Judging. Nevertheless, I think I am in between Sensing/Intuitive, and Feeling/Thinking. In the future, I plan to be an actuary or an accountant, so this test is quite close to what I plan to do. Moreover, I am loyal and well-organised. For instance, I can manage my time well and I am very faithful to my leader. Furthermore, I enjoy group discussion as I can give my co-operation well with my teammates and I love helping others. Next, I am the person with strong moral and ethical values so I will not break my own principle easily.
