Self Assessment:
1. Review the interpretative career portfolio generated from the Discover assessment.
What were your top suggested career areas? What do you think about these
suggested career areas? Did the results surprise you? Summarize the information
reported.
According to discover assessment career portfolio and examining the questionnaire
results the top results are accountant, finance manager and human resource manager. My
personality type is best fit in these careers, due to consistency, detail oriented, and many
other skills. These skills and traits are much needed for the particular career of accountant
and finance manager.
These suggested areas basically indicated by my personality type, so this is not surprising
for me. I have already planned my career is these areas.
2. How closely does this information reflect your own choice of major or career?
This information is very close to my choice and interest. My Interest is also in accounts
and finance. And I want to grow my career as a finance manager in some Multinational
Company. The result from questionnaire shows that people rated my skills more than
average, it means what I have selected as my career is close to what my personality type
says.

World of Work:
1) What activities would you like to do? What responsibilities would you like to take
on? Remember, it is best to think of work as putting forth energy, something that
you would do because of the nature of the activity itself, even if you were not
paid for it, when you think of work this way, its more likely play, an activity you
would throw yourself into without thinking how much energy is involved.
Interest:
The activity which I want do is writing, writing about current affairs, writing to
give my own opinion, research and write on particular topics, build my own think
tank or follow a particular think tank. This activity makes a person responsible for
his words, for his opinions, for hurting others, or for following some particular
thinking.
The basic responsibility is to write the truth, remain at the side of right, writing
about evil without any pressure. But this activity cant be adopted as profession, if
adopted than its hard to stick with it professionally. So if I choose to perform this
activity, I will perform it with all my energies even without getting paid.
Advantages:
I want a detail oriented job. Like jobs related to finance are detail oriented,

with middle aged persons because they have more experience than me, they will
motivate me, their actions will help me gaining experience, their achievements
will help me setting and achieving bigger goals. Their interests should be
professional, like they should devote towards work. Diversified culture would be
more preferable, diversified culture would make work place more competitive and
more outcomes oriented. The percentage of males should be higher.
