Every one of us has a specific personality all our own. Overall, however, we tend to fit into only 16 different personality "types." The research on personality has provided targeted guidance to help you understand your personality traits and how they will help you with your future college and career goals. It will also be important to understand the personality shortcomings (we all have them) and how to overcome any adverse affect they will have on your career track. This lesson will guide you through discovering your personality type and what careers are suited for you. You will then explore the career outlook for two jobs you choose. Hopefully by the end of the lesson you will have a better picture of what is ahead for you, or at least how to find out.
