Career PERSONALITY Profiling

Personality Profiling

One of the most important things you can do to prepare for the world of work is to know yourself- your natural abilities, personality traits, strengths (and also areas to perhaps work on). It's also important to recognize that certain traits and personalities tend to suit certain career fields and professions better.

One way to help you understand yourself better (and those around you) is to complete a personality profiling test. We use the Buzz Test as a simple psychology based quiz (based on the principles of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator). 

In the quiz you are given two options in a number of scenarios, where you are asked to select your preference. It only takes 5 minutes to complete. The outcome is that you are identified as an animal type.  Before you get started:

• Please go with your gut instinct, and don't overthink your responses 

• There are no right or wrong answers, just your personal preferences

Once you know your "animal type", have a look at the further research and reading about personality types below,  and how this related to professions that may suit you.

Lastly, do remember that just because your quiz results shows you to be a certain animal, this doesn't mean that you can't go into any profession. It just means that certain professions may suit your personality type better! For more quizzes, and careers profiling inspiration, please chat with Mrs Franks
