Is your profession bringing out the best in you?
Have you ever sensed that you are in the wrong business? Would you find yourself coming up with one big concept after another however don't have an outlet to notice your ideas through?
Kate Ward, author of "Personality Style at Work," says people generally fall into the following 4 personality types: direct, spirited, considerate and systematic. If you can recognize your type, you will "have less chance for misunderstandings and conflicts," she says and also you will have insight into your ideal career.
Have a look and see whether your career aligns with your strengths:
DIRECT: The direct personality gets quickly to the point and is not into chitchat. The person who might come to mind is Donald Trump stating, "you're fired." Here are some careers best suited for the Direct Personality: CEO, executive, lawyer or University Professor.
SPIRITED: Spirited personalities are big-idea people that like to brainstorm and motivate, but tend to miss some information along the way. Best careers are in the arts or architecture, interior design, advertising or politics.
CONSIDERATE: Considerate types are serious peacemakers. They care intensely about team harmony and want to help others. Good matches are counselor, elementary school teacher and positions in the service industry.
SYSTEMATIC: These people are well organized, logical and are articulate list-makers. Systematic people excel in analysis and structure. Some of the best careers with this personality type are accountants, information technology specialists, dentists or engineers.
Personally, we think the best thing for an entrepreneur to be successful, is to possess a little of each of these traits. But it is good to understand these basics, as it will not only help you to identify who you are, but also will help you to understand how others operate. A Direct personality should try to soften their approach when dealing with a Considerate. A Systematic person needs to realize that the Spirited person will probably need to be given the lists, rather than assuming they will create lists on their own.
