Career Assessment
I. Values assessment:
I do not agree with my result on being a zoo veterinarian. It has not once crossed my mind to become one even if I do have the qualities to become one. Before taking the test I knew that I am a firm believer on taking risks. I also do know that and very independent and like to get my creative juices flowing. What I didn’t know before taking this assessment is that I share common traits with a zoo vet. In this assessment, independence was one of my biggest strengths. For the most part I do make decisions that revolve around my own believes, however, I am open to ideas and peoples level of perception. Lastly, I do think it’s informative because it was a great presentation of how well rounded I am. I hold some qualities that go beyond the business world. My major is International business and I think what will set me apart from others is my creativity.
Work Interest assessment:
I agree that when working on projects I like to be open minded and enjoy working with people who share the same vision I do. I also enjoy sharing the same values and interests that we have in common.

My results were, artistic, enterprising, and investigative. I am a photographer besides being a business major and looking into the business world from an artistic type point of view is very different. In terms of pitching ideas and targeting people I feel like I have a different crowd in mind when working on projects than most people. I believe the results are informative. It reassures my strengths and potential career paths besides being a businesswoman.
Personality assessment:
I 100% agree with the results. The results state that I am open minded, enthusiastic, observant, creative and spontaneous. Being spontaneous keeps me sharp and on my toes. I like to throw myself into a goal and embrace it with success. I think passion and enthusiasm go hand in hand and is a good leadership skill to obtain. What I didn’t know about myself is that while having all these qualities I also have to be very observant. Looking back now I do find myself in scenarios where sitting back and reading the room is the best way to develop ideas. I do this a lot but didn’t realize it until now. One of my...
