When planning what type of career you want to pursue, a good idea is to take a psychological test called a Whole Brain Assessment, (WBA). This test is very accurate, and allows you as the taker to see what type of person you are based on the questions asked. A good idea is to remember that the test measures what you prefer to think and process and has nothing to do with an individual’s abilities. With that being said, I will share my personal WBA. After reviewing the results from my test, I scored L2 dominant and L1 secondary. The L2 quadrant is the lower left hand side of the brain that organizes and preserves information. I scored a much higher percentage in the organizer half of this quadrant. My secondary quadrant is L1. This section is located in the upper left side of the brain. The L1 quadrant controls the realist and the analyst. I scored a much higher percentage in the analyst section. Therefore, I am a left brain thinker and have both of the traits of the organizer and an analyst of information. The WBA stated that a good career position for me would be project management oriented and a business administration where I can manage others and make things happen would be perfect for me to move into. My assessment and personality of INFJ, or introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judgment, work well together. They work hand in hand in how I can personally take on tasks in any environment and break them down and complete them. Now that we know what type of personality and traits are best for different career positions and what specific traits I have, I need to put together a good list of goals and target job positions and companies that will allow me to use my best traits to their fullest potential. After careful consideration, I found that I would like jobs that are going to better others in my local community. This means I want to pursue
