Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® JANE SAMPLE / ENFPProfile May 17, 2004

This profile is designed to help you understand your results on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®)assessment. Based on your individual responses, the MBTI instrument produces results to identify whichof sixteen different personality types best describes you. Your personality type represents your preferencesin four separate categories, with each category composed of two opposite poles. The four categoriesdescribe key areas that combine to form the basis of a person's personality as follows:

····

Where you focus your attention — Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)The way you take in information — Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)The way you make decisions — Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)How you deal with the outer world — Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

Your MBTI type is indicated by the four letters representing your preferences. Based on your responses to the assessment, your reported MBTI type is ENFP, also described as Extraverted Intuition with Feeling. Your results are highlighted below.

Reported Type: ENFP

Where youfocus your

attentionE Extraversion

People who prefer Extraversion tend to focus their attention on the outer world of people and things. I

IntroversionPeople who prefer Introversion tend to focus their attention on the inner world of ideas and impressions.

The wayyou take ininformation

SSensingPeople who prefer Sensing tend to take in information through the five senses and focus on the here and now.

NIntuitionPeople who prefer Intuition tend to take in informationfrom patterns and the big picture and focus on future possibilities.

The wayyou makedecisions

TThinkingPeople who prefer Thinking tend to make decisions based primarily on logic and on objective analysis of cause and effect.

FFeelingPeople who prefer Feeling tend to make decisions based primarily on values and on subjective evaluation of person-centered concerns.

How youdeal with the

outer world JJudgingPeople who prefer Judging tend to like a planned and organized approach to life and prefer to have things settled.

PPerceivingPeople who prefer Perceiving tend to like a flexible and spontaneous approach to life and prefer to keep their options open.

Your responses to the MBTI assessment not only indicate your preferences; they also indicate therelative clarity of your preferences—that is, how clear you were in expressing your preference for a par-ticular pole over its opposite. This is known as the preference clarity index, or pci. The bar graph on thenext page charts your pci results. Note that a longer bar suggests you are quite sure about your prefer-ence, while a shorter bar suggests you are less sure about that preference.

Strong Interest Inventory® Profile JANE SAMPLE | Page 2

GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL THEMES SECTION 1

The General Occupational Themes (GOTs) measure six broad interest patterns that can be used to describe your work personality. Most people’s interests are reflected by two or three Themes, combined to form a cluster of interests. Work activities, potential skills, and values can also be classified into these six Themes. This provides a direct link between your interests and the career and education possibilities likely to be most meaningful to you.

Your standard scores are based on the average scores of a combined group of working adults. However, because research shows that men and women tend to respond differently in these areas, your interest levels (Very Little, Little, Moderate, High, Very High) were determined by comparing your scores against the average scores for your gender.

BASIC INTEREST SCALES SECTION 2

The Basic Interest Scales represent specific interest areas that often point to work activities, projects, course work, and leisureactivities that are personally motivating and rewarding. As with the General Occupational Themes, your interest levels (VeryLittle, Little, Moderate, High, Very High) were determined by comparing your scores against the average scores for your gender.

As you review your results in the charts below, note your top interest areas and your areas of least interest, and think about how they relate to your work, educational, and leisure activities. Take time to consider any top interest areas that are not currently part of your work or lifestyle and think about how you might be able to incorporate them into your plans.

OCCUPATIONAL SCALES SECTION 3

This section highlights your Profile results on the Occupational Scales of the Strong. On the next three pages you will find your scores for 122 occupations. The 10 occupations most closely aligned with your interests are listed in the summary chartbelow. Keep in mind that the occupations listed in your Profile results are just some of the many occupations linked to your interests that you might want to consider. They do not indicate those you “should” pursue. It is helpful to think of each occupation as a single example of a much larger group of occupational titles to consider.

Your score on an Occupational Scale shows how similar your interests are to those of people of your gender who have been working in, and are satisfied with, that occupation. The higher your score, the more likes and dislikes you share with those individuals. The Theme Codes associated with each occupation indicate the GOTs most commonly found among people employed in that occupation.

1. Special Education Teacher (SE)2. Speech Pathologist (SA)3. Public Relations Director (AE)4. Community Service Director (SE)5. Elementary School Teacher (S)6. Foreign Language Teacher (SAE)7. Corporate Trainer (AES)8. Nursing Home Administrator (CES)9. Broadcast Journalist (AE)

10. Paralegal (CE)

Physicist (IRA)

Mathematician (IRC)

Geologist (IRA)

Chemist (IR)

Biologist (IRA)

YOUR TOP TEN STRONG OCCUPATIONS Occupations of Dissimilar Interest

As you read through your Occupational Scales results on this and the following pages, note the names of those occupations for which you scored “Similar.” Those are the occupations you might want to explore first. If you have no scores in this range, take a look at those in the midrange and begin there. You might also consider occupations of least interest or for which you scored “Dissimilar”; however, keep in mind that you are likely to have little in common with people in those types of work and probably would contribute to such occupations in a unique way. Your career professional can guide you further in this process.

You can learn about occupations from information found in a public library, in the career library of a college or university near you, in a professional career center, or on the Internet. A recommended online source for occupational information is the O*NET™ database at http://online.onetcenter.org. You can also learn a lot about an occupation by talking to people who are working in that particular occupation. These people can describe their day-to-day work and tell you what they like and dislike about it.

PERSONAL STYLE SCALES SECTION 4

The Personal Style Scales describe different ways of approaching people, learning, leading, making decisions, and participating in teams. Personal Style Scales help you think about your preferences for factors that can be important in your career, enabling you to more effectively narrow your choices and examine your opportunities. Each scale includes descriptions at both ends of the continuum, with scores indicating your preference for one style versus the other.

Your scores on the Personal Style Scales were determined by comparing your responses to those of a combined group of working men and women.

YOUR PERSONAL STYLE SCALES PREFERENCES

1. You are likely to prefer working with people2. You seem to prefer to learn through lectures and books3. You probably prefer to lead by taking charge4. You may dislike taking risks5. You probably enjoy participating in teams
