WORK PERSONALITY
The Perfectionist
You want to get things exactly right. You're
idealistic, critical and judgmental. You
make decisions with the thought that there
is only one correct way to do it. Upright,
fastidious and high energy, you have a
tendency to nit-pick and micro-manage, but
you ultimately blame yourself more than
others. You have a clear vision of the way
things should be.
Good jobs for Perfectionists: Preacher,
teacher, quality control manager, architect,
dentist, tailor or lecturer
Famous Perfectionists: Hilary Clinton,
Laura Schlesinger, Rudy Giuliani, Al Gore
and Martha Stewart
The Helper
Sweet, sensitive, helpful and sometimes
humble, your road to power and influence
involves making yourself indispensable to
others. Think Joan on 'Mad Men,' or a
Jewish or Italian mother. You are
relationship-oriented. Although you can be
manipulative, you are also inspirational and
bring out the best in others.
Good jobs for Helpers: Customer service,
therapy, sales, public relations and health
care
Famous Helpers: Mister Rogers, Joseph
Biden, Isaac Mizrahi, Kelly Ripa, Katy
Perry, Kendra Wilkinson and Sarah Palin
The Producer
Enthusiastic, efficient, high-performing and
competitive, you are a can-do person who
wants to be known for getting the job done.
You can be seen as a charismatic leader,
or as superficial and insensitive. You're a
good team player and motivator, and you're
very proud of your accomplishments. You
know how the world works and you know
what to do about it. America is a “Producer"
country, according to Goldberg.
Good Jobs for Producers: Executive,
politician, coach, administrator, sales
manager, self-help author and
entrepreneur
Famous Producers: Donald Trump,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Mayes, Tony
Robbins and Oprah Winfrey
The Connoisseur
You love the beautiful, the true, the
obscure and the unusual. You're romantic,
creative, a bit melancholy, and can
sometimes be elitist. You often make
decisions based on feeling. Some people
see you as snooty, acerbic and critical, but
you prefer to describe yourself as a patron
of the arts and the finer things in life,
elegant and tasteful.
Good jobs for Connoisseurs: Artist,
critic, columnist, designer, fiction writer,
actor, song writer/performer -- creative
people of any kind
Famous Connoisseurs: Ralph Lauren,
Robert Downey, Jr., Francis Ford Coppola,
Anne Rice, Amy Winehouse and Angelina
Jolie
The Sage
You like to be slightly removed from the
rest, so you can watch the world from a
safe distance while collecting facts,
theories and information. You are
independent and self-sufficient, and are
sometimes considered distant. You can be
brilliant, intense and committed.
Good Jobs for Sages: Scientist,
researcher, analyst, entrepreneur, advisor
or writer
Famous Sages: Bill Gates, Warren Buffet,
Buddha, Barack Obama, Michell Pfeiffer,
Tim Burton and Garrison Keillor
The Troubleshooter
You spend more time worrying about what
could go wrong rather than dreaming about
what is going right. At best you're uber-
prepared, at worst you're paranoid. You're
better on the defensive team than the
offensive team. You're faithful, intuitive and
committed, but you also tend to fret.
Goldberg says Catholicism is a very
“Troubleshooter" faith. You're great at
figuring out hidden motives and agendas.
Good jobs for Troubleshooters: Military,
police, detective, spy, professor, strategic
planner, risk analyst, news analyst
Famous Troubleshooters: John Stewart,
Spike Lee, Oliver Stone, Larry David, Ellen
Degeneres, Sarah Silverman, Glenn Beck
and Keith Olberman
The Visionary
Engaging, energetic and upbeat, you can
be optimistic to a fault. You're a great
networker, and you see things in terms of
the best possible outcome. Sometimes you
get so caught up in how things could be
that you're unaware of how things are, and
people can view you as irresponsible and
narcissistic because of that. You prefer to
be called an idealist.
Good jobs for Visionaries: Consultant,
inventor, futurist, humorist, theoretical
scientist, author or any role that involves
mental inspiration and encouragement
Famous Visionaries: John F. Kennedy,
Richard Branson, Robin Williams, Cindy
Lauper, Cameron Diaz, Bette Midler and
Regis Philbin
The Top Dog
Power and control are your main goals,
and you have the energy and cunning to
achieve them. You never run from a fight or
confrontation -- in fact, sometimes you
seek them out. Nothing can keep you down
for long, and you're capable of building an
empire, but you are surprisingly protective
and nurturing of the underdogs in your
domain.
Good jobs for Top Dogs: Manager, real
estate developer, director, commodities
broker, prize fighter, political leader and
athlete
Famous Top Dogs: Rupert Murdock, John
McCain, Rachel Maddow, Mike Tyson,
Mike Ditka, Rosie O'Donnell, Queen
Latifah, Roseanne Barr and Courtney Love
The Mediator
Confrontation and discord are your worst
enemies, so you have become adroit at
placating and pacifying. You are calm and
good at compromise, and generally serve
as the peacemaker in heated situations.
You're in touch with the feelings of the
group. Some people see you as
ambiguous and indecisive.
Good Jobs for Mediators: Diplomat,
postal worker, manager, therapist, human
resource expert and mediator
Famous Mediators: Ronald Reagan,
Queen Elizabeth II, Julia Child, Jennifer
Aniston, Matthew Broderick, Ringo Starr,
Placido Domingo and Adam Sandler
