Our Career Quiz is based on a much more detailed questionnaire that plots four behavioral types to find careers that could be a good match. Each behavioral type is represented by a color:
Red: Expediting
Green: Communicating
Blue: Planning
Yellow: Administrating
The SSI Career Profile(tm) will express possible career interests and work style in terms of one of the four quadrant colors. The accuracy of your profile depends on your own self evaluations on the questionnaire.
Why use SSI Career Profile(tm) for Career Planning?
The SSI Career Profile(tm) is far superior to other instruments used for similar purposes. Of the many reasons why SSI Career Profile(tm) is better, three are most notable:
1. SSI Career Profile(tm) is the only instrument available that does not assume that the way you act is also the way you want to be treated--in other words, that behavior does not necessarily equate with motivational needs.
2. To put it simply: accuracy. Individuals and organizations that have used SSI Career Profile(tm) have found it to be astonishingly accurate.
3. SSI Career Profile(tm) not only gives you information to help you better understand your career needs, it also tells you how closely your profile matches people in a wide variety of occupations.
How can the SSI Career Profile(tm) help you with Career Planning?
Self awareness is certainly a major part of the foundation of success and happiness. Your ability to secure a job--and ultimately a career--in which you will thrive depends on how well you can match yourself with the opportunities available. There are four behavioral dimensions presented in the complete SSI Career Profile(tm) - Interests, Style, Needs, and Stress Behaviors. These can provide a strong basis for you to better understand yourself. The four dimensions will also give you a framework within which you can examine potential work environments to see if they are right for you.
* "Interests" describe the types of activities that you are drawn to; these will need to be present in a job or career that your are considering if you are to stay motivated. It is important to note that interest in an activity does not necessarily indicate skill.
* "Style" describes the strengths that you could bring to a work environment when you are at your best. This is the way you like to get results. A work environment in which your strengths are appreciated is a big part of career satisfaction.
* "Needs" describe what you require to be at your best. This is the kind of support you need in a job to bring out your strengths. Your needs might be very different from your style.
* "Stress Behavior" describes your behavior when your needs are not being met. When you can recognize your stress behavior, you will have an improved ability to adjust to uncomfortable situations.
