According to the assessment, my highest score of 34 was in the category Artistic, next was Social with 32 and my last 2 categories tied at 11 in the categories Investment, and Enterprise(National Center for O*NET Development). In tying this into my Job zone assessment, my results show that I am willing to add more education in order to have a specific career. By choosing to add more to my education, I found my top career choices to be a Mental Health counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Counseling Psychologist(National Center for O*NET Development).

After reviewing John Holland’s personality descriptions, I felt my evaluation with the O* NET profiler was correct. I am artistic based on my interests, need to be expressive, independent, open, and original (Niles & Bowlsbey, 2013, p. 70).

My list of traits could easily incorporate all of Holland’s examples. This was also the case with the social category according to Holland. I relate with traits like social, cooperative, sympathetic, and helpful. I think this grouping incorporates my interests and passions towards my goals for Clinical counseling (Niles & Bowlsbey, 2013, p. 71). . The Enterprising personality type is one of my two lowest groups according to my profile. This personality, according to Holland, focuses on leaders who are energetic, domineering, and impulsive (Niles & Bowlesbey, 2013, p. 71). At first, I considered this group to
