Going through the testing was very eye-opening for me. I have always had a difficult time deciding what I “really” wanted to do when I grew up. The testing revealed that as well because my interests are very specific. I have to find something that fits so that I can be as happy in my work and college career as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
How long can my child and I access our accounts?
A:
Indefinitely. The account remains active as long as you continue to access it. Note: Human eSources provides different tools and resources specific to different age groups and situations. While you always have access to the products you have purchased, they may not remain applicable forever.
Q:
Why is personality type such a good predictor of career satisfaction and success?
A:
Personality type is the innate way people naturally see the world and make decisions - a set of basic drives and motivations that remains constant throughout a person’s life. Values, skills and interests are quite fluid in young people and often change significantly as they grow older. Learning about their personality types provides students with accurate and invaluable insights about themselves and their career-related needs. This enables them to make the most informed, satisfying college and career decisions.
Q:
What do the terms “valid” and “reliable” mean?
A:
A valid instrument measures precisely what it claims to measure. A reliable one yields consistent and repeatable results over time. What does that mean to you? Peace of mind that our assessments do what we say they do.
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)
