Brain-based Career Report - ISTP, Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and Striving Styles® Personality System

Choosing a job or career is one of the most important things that we do and yet many of us are ill prepared to do so for two main reasons; we lack awareness of ourselves, our needs and ambitions; and we seek advice from others who are more concerned with our security needs (money, stability, familiarity) than in the fullfilment of our potential. We all want to be good at choosing paths for ourselves. With so many jobs and careers to choose from, it can be overwhelming to narrow it down to a handful. Whether you're deciding to look for your first job or a possible career change, understanding your personality type, brain organization and psychological/emotional needs takes away much of the risk that comes when we think a career sounds good until we are actually in the experience of it. The information in this report will provide you with powerful insight into the type of career you are best suited to based on your Personality Type or Striving Style. You will learn the unique ways in which your Type gets its predominant need met through career and work choices. It will help you to understand the elements of work that are most intrinsically satisfying versus those that are more likely to frustrate your predominant need and are therefore dissatisfying for you. With this information, you can make choices that are most likely to move you in the direction of the career and future you desire. Using the MBTI or the SSPS gives you insight into your unique nature and whether the career actually fits your personality. It allows you disqualify careers that at face value seem to be a fit for you. Just because you can do something well doesn't mean that you will want to do it as a career. Similarly, just because a career seems secure or glamorous doesn't mean that it will satisfy you once you are in the experience. Having deeper insight into your needs and brain organization lets you select what works best for your nature.
