This Is a Big Book, But It
Is Very Easy to Use
Psychologists have long understood a principle that many of us consider
just common sense: that people have an aspect called personality that
makes them feel more comfortable in some situations than in others.
People who have a certain personality feel more capable of doing certain
things and dealing with certain problems; they also feel more accepted
when they are among people with personalities similar to their own.
T is is especially true for one place where people spend a major portion of their time: at work.
People want to feel that they f t in with the people and with the activities where they work.
If personality is the key to this feeling of f tting in, then you need to consider this question:
What kind of personality do you have? Maybe you can come up with a few ways to describe
yourself, such as “sunny,” “energetic,” “conscientious,” “loyal,” “outgoing,” “funny,” or
“competitive.” But what do those terms suggest for the kind of work you might enjoy and do
well? What terms might be more useful?
Some Things You Can Do with This Book
T is book can help you think about your personality in terms that have proven relevance to
the world of work. You’ll learn about the personality types that many psychologists and career
development practitioners use to describe people and jobs. You’ll take a quick assessment to
help you clarify your dominant personality type. T en you’ll dig into a gold mine of facts about
the jobs that are the best f t for your personality type—and that are the best for other reasons,
too, such as their wages and job openings. T e lists of “best jobs” will help you zero in on
promising careers, and the descriptive prof les of the jobs will open your eyes to career choices
that previously you may not have known much about.
We all want to f t in somewhere. And there are probably several diff erent careers in which each
of us could f nd a comfortable niche. But why not do it in a really good job? T at’s what this
book can help you choose.
Credits and Acknowledgments: While the author created this book, it is based on the work of many others. T e occupational
information is based on data obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Education. T ese sources
provide the most authoritative occupational information available.
