In determining your optimum career, or if you’re a hiring supervisor looking for the right person for the job, a wide range of personality evaluations are firmly recommended.
You might even try some of the more recently developed assessments such as the on-line color test featured in this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/color-job-aptitude-test-shows-ceos/story?id=9773427&page=2
Although the on-line color test advocate claims that the test shows that most CEOs are emotionally unstable, less likely to be perfectionists, and more cooperative than the typical person, I believe such generalizations are a detriment and a warning sign that you better look more deeply into each individual’s character and not make broad assumptions.
A Career Compatibility and Assessment guide (see Services page), for example, illustrates that there are clear differences in abilities between an administrative assistant sort of skill-set and the traits demanded of a typical CEO or entrepreneur, for instance, despite what the on-line color test promoters claim (“…typical CEO is well-suited to be an admin assistant…”).
While such easy to take, one-dimensional tests might offer you some insight, I strongly recommend using them in conjunction with more in-depth personality assessments, such as handwriting analysis and comprehensive astrology and numerology.
