Each of us has a unique set of qualities, skills, talents, and ways of thinking that make us who we are. As a result, our personalities vary greatly. This makes for an interesting and diverse world, and it also makes it possible for us to excel in some careers but not so much in others. We may even find that one career path matches our personalities but not every avenue in that career path is ideal. Maybe you are an extrovert who loves working with people! You may find that nursing is matches your personality, but that working in the emergency room doesn't allow you time to connect with your patients. That helps you to understand that you may want to find a nursing job that gives you more time to work with patients in a slower environment.
Knowing who we are gives us the opportunity to learn more about what we'd like to do with our time and our careers. Use the resources on this page to discover more about your personality and possible careers.
