Knowing your personality type is important for your career success so you can determine what the best career is for you.


10 Best Personality Assessments For Your Career


MBTI (Myers Briggs)

One of my favorites is the MBTI (Myers-Briggs). I took it in my first job out of college and realized I am an introvert and that was why I felt so different around my co-workers. MBTI is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality assessment tool.

Strengthsfinder

StrengthsFinder assessment is very helpful in identifying the areas where you have the greatest potential for building strength and how to use those strengths. It's important to focus on y our strengths in your career rather than trying to improve your weaknesses. You'll be more energized and fulfilled if you are working in your strengths which is why this is one of my favorite personality assessments.  This is a must for all job searchers and entrepreneurs.
