This assessment provided a profile of this author's interests and values. Throughout the course, several assignments required informal online assessments and application of career theory. Having personally taken the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and StrengthFinder (SF) assessment, this author was able to incorporate these assessment results into self-analysis exercises. The next two sections examine how these assessments and exercises reflect this author's career choices.Strong Interests InventoryThis author's ISI results suggest a wide range of professional themes and career fits. The most personally interesting themes were artistic, social and conventional (Prince, 2010). Through the analysis of the SII results, this author drew two interesting conclusions. First, the wide variety of interests reflects a personal philosophy of keeping career opportunities open. Second, results from the personal style scales suggest a preference for balance in working with others, leading others, and taking risks (Prince, 2010). Based on these findings, this author plans to conduct in-depth research...... middle of article...... on different business models and career paths. The key to achieving the ultimate goal of owning a business is to develop these valued qualities into functional skills. This author plans to pursue additional education and certifications to develop these skills. Continued personal growth is this author's ultimate goal, and the HS 585 career guidance course has gone a long way toward achieving that goal.
