This is my second post that focuses on resources on my website – https://havepositiveimpact.com/ – that help you identify jobs and careers of interest. My site is focused on careers and jobs that have a positive impact. That being said, the dozens of assessments and strategies on it are also relevant for individuals interested in looking at options and jobs in all ALL SECTORS which is the focus of this article.
This article is about The Career Test made available from 123 Test that is in the “What Type of Common Good and Positive Impact Employers and Jobs Interest You?” section of the site.
Here is a description of what you receive from taking the brief online test.
“In this test you had to choose between pictures showing specific work activities. Each picture depicted work associated with a specific type of personality. These types are derived from Dr. John Holland’s theory of careers and vocational choice, known as Holland Codes.
There are six personality types in Holland’s model:
Realistic: practical, physical, concrete, hands-on, machine, and tool-oriented
Investigative: analytical, intellectual, scientific, explorative, thinker
Artistic: creative, original, independent, chaotic, inventive, media, graphics, and text
Social: cooperative, supporting, helping, healing/nurturing, teaching
Enterprising: competitive environments, leadership, persuading, status
Conventional: detail-oriented, organizing, clerical”
They then provide a list of jobs that fit your answers to the fifteen questions they ask and they state, “The list is only part of all jobs that fit your personality. You should use this list of occupations as prototypical examples.”
THEY ALSO PROVIDE A LIST OF CURRENTLY AVAILABLE JOB OPENINGS FOR EACH SPECIFIC JOB THAT MATCHES YOUR PROFILE!! This is an invaluable resource for anybody exploring job and career options.
As l mentioned in my previous article about job search resources on my website, you do not have to register, there is no cost, and your contact information is not collected so I am not able to reach out to anyone who has visited my site.
Have a positive and healthy year, Peter Prichard
