Are you feeling tired and inadequate in your current position? Hate to get out of bed in the morning and go in to work? Do you spend a lot of time on Monster.com trying to find something that sounds more fun or rewarding to do? It may not be the job, or the company at all – it may be a mismatch between your personality type and your occupation! However, before we start talking about whether you need to take piano lessons or combat training, let’s get clear on what is meant by personality type.

Perhaps you have taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) some time in your past and you can vaguely remember that you were given some four letter code that was supposed to explain you and how you interact with co-workers and family. Depending on how well it was all explained, you may have come away with some useful, vital information; or a feeling of frustration and disenchantment based on the fact that they perhaps labeled you an extrovert and yet you have never been the life of any party.

This presentation will offer some insight into what those indicators mean, and how and why certain personalities are drawn to certain career choices. First, let’s talk a little data. In some of the ongoing research being conducted around Personality Type and careers, there have been several based on the database maintained by the Center for Applications of Psychological Type. When a coach administers the MBTI to any group, they have the option of feeding back some non-biographical data to CAPT; things like job title and Personality Type. So this is a large data base from which you can draw data for research. For this workshop, when we assess careers and Personality Types, we would expect to find the highest percentage of people with a similar Personality Type in similar careers.

Therefore after this presentation and based on data, you can decide if it is your job, your personality, or the combination of both that is keeping you awake at night.
