Many students today have trouble
deciding on a specific major to
pursue in college. The career personality
quiz located on the Bucks
website can help you make this
decision more efficiently.
If you are having trouble deciding
on a major the career personality
quiz is your place to get all
the answers you need.
“It’s a good place for students to
get ideas,” says Amy Armstrong,
director of career services here at
Bucks.
The career personality quiz
consists of 18 questions. It is designed
to help students understand
their personality.
“The idea is for people with certain
personalities to match up with
a specific workplace,” says Armstrong.
When asked how many people
take the quiz, Armstrong said,
“Yes they do use it, but there isn’t
a way of monitoring it.”
The quiz is able to distinguish
six different personality types.
The first type is realistic; people
who like to work with their hands
outdoors, such as landscapers.
Secondly, there is investigative;
people who enjoy research such as
journalist or even scientists. The
third type is artistic, for people
who like to draw and paint. The
fourth is social; people who want
to be in a profession that enables
them to help others, such as social
workers.
The fifth type of personality is
enterprising. These people may go
into fields like politics or sales.
Finally, the sixth is conventional,
which is for people who like to
keep things organized and very
clear. This personality would fit an
event planner.
After putting a check under
“agree” or “disagree” for each
question, tally up the number of
questions you agreed with, then
calculate the highest personality
types that fit your answers best.
After calculating, click on the
career wheel icon, which will be
highlighted. You are then given a
choice of
each type of
personality
and the majors
that fit
each category;
chose
the major
that fits your
type.
