We had a great experience with CollegeScope. The students were engaged 100% of the time. The curriculum is well written in that concepts taught are applied to their lives both personally and professionally.

Why is personality type such a good predictor of career satisfaction and success?

Q:
What are the four dimensions of personality type?
A:
Extraversion vs Introversion (E/I) identifies where they tend to focus their attention and gain most of their energy (the outer world or the inner world).
Sensing vs Intuition (S/N) describes what type of information they tend to gather, and what they are naturally aware of (concrete details or abstract ideas)
Thinking/Feeling (T/F) determines how they tend to evaluate that information, make decisions and reach conclusions (objectively based on logic, or subjectively based on values)
Judging/Perceiving (J/P) assesses how they tend to relate to the outer world of everyday life (by seeking structure and closure, or by remaining open and spontaneous)
