mission statement

I will wake up each day and put on a smile.
I will keep an open-mind.
I may not be big and powerful, but I will make the world a better place by small and simple acts of kindness.
I will always try.
I will remember that there are little eyes out there that are looking for a role model - and I will be a good one.
I will always counteract the bad with twice as much goodness.
I will not turn away from a person in need.
I will be quick to right my wrongs.

I will manage my temper.
I will always remember to count my blessings.
I will strive to be kind to myself, to others, and to Earth.
When I fall, I will pick myself back up and keep climbing.
I will remember always that life is a gift, and there is simply no room to forget that.

Personality/Interest Assessment

MBTI Report

1. List your reported type.

ISFJ

2. According to your report, what are some of the characteristics that best describe your personality type?

Introverted
Sensible
Practical
Organized
Efficient
Loyal
Caring/Supportive
Personable
People Pleaser
Patient
Dependable

3. Refer to the list of the 50 most popular occupations page. Read the list of occupations, circle the ones that you would like to explore, and list them below.

I actually do not think I would enjoy any of the occupations on my list. If I really had to choose, it would be Home Health Aide, Dietician/Nutritionist, or Preschool/Kindergarten Teacher.


4. How do you believe the occupations you have chosen to explore fit with your personality preferences? Explain how these occupations allow you to work in your preferred work environment.

The above occupations are not at all ones that I would further explore, although they may meet my "type's" preferred work environment. The occupations I believe would suit me well seem to line up perfectly with my preferred work environment. Of course, there are always a few downers to everything. I love supporting others, and am more comfortable working on a one-to-one basis with small intimate groups. I know the professions I am interested in do not always allow the setting I would be most comfortable in.

SII Report

1. List your general occupational theme code.

SA

2. List your 5 Basic Interests Scales and determine what type of interest they represent from the following: vocational, educational, leisure activities, personal interest. (Examples might include: religion-personal interest, teaching-leisure, healthcare-vocational)

1. Counseling & Helping (vocational)
2. Social Sciences (vocational, educational)
3. Healthcare Services (vocational)
4. Visual Arts (personal interest, leisure)
5. Writing & Mass Communication (leisure, personal interest, educational)

3. Refer to pages 5, 6, and 7 of your SII profile. Look at all the occupational scales you scored highest in (generally 40 or above), or that have a combination of your theme code. List the occupations from the scales that you might like to research.

1. Occupational Therapist
2. Social Worker
3. Recreational Therapist
4. Rehabilitation Counselor
5. Photographer
6. Artist
7. Graphic Designer
8. Florist

4. For the following questions refer to Personal Style Scales on page 8 of your SII profile.

A. Look at your “Work Style” rating. What does your score suggest to you in relation to the occupations you listed above?

It is clear that I like working with others, and enjoy helping them. Although I enjoy my alone time, I believe I would love a work environment working with others as the top 4 occupations would require.

B. Look at your “Learning Environment” rating. How do the educational requirements of the occupations you listed fit with your interest to pursue additional training?

Most of the occupations only require a Bachelors degree. This is more practical for me being a mother. However, a few require graduate school. I am willing to put in the time. I love learning, but at the same time I like the idea of taking the quickest route.

C. Look at your “Leadership Style” rating. How do these occupations fit your personal style?

Some of the occupations would allow me to stay in my comfort zone (Introverted), but the ones that require working with others on a day-to-day basis still appeal to me because I would most likely be working in small groups or one-on-one, which is less intimidating and more suitable for my personality.

D. Look at your “Risk Taking/Adventure” rating. Explain how the occupations do or do not match your risk taking style.

The occupations listed are generally low-risk and quiet. I am not a bold person who seeks adrenaline and risk. I like to play it safe and play according to rules, so I believe the listed occupations match well.

5. What college majors are suggested for your theme code that you find interesting?

1. Counseling
2. Family Studies
3. Home Economics
4. Occupational Therapy
5. Social Work
6. Substance Abuse Counseling
7. Women's Studies
8. Creative Writing
9. Journalism
10. Photography

6. Of your top 10 occupations, list 3 you are most interested in and the educational preparation required for each.

1. Occupational Therapist (BA or MA in Occupational Therapy)
2. Photographer (High school diploma, AA or BA)
3. Licensed Practical Nurse (Vocational/technical certificate or AA)

1. Substance Abuse Counselor
2. Art Therapist

4. Freelance Photographer

Meet with a Career Counselor at CACC

List any comments or suggestions made by the counselor regarding selection of a career or major and/or your assessment results.

I was advised to do more in-depth research on the careers I am most interested in. Learn about education requirements. Possibly return to meet with a counselor and explore another MBTI type. Return for internship opportunities when time comes.
