KNOWING YOURSELF<br />
Being aware of your strengths,<br />
weaknesses, your interests and your<br />
aspirations is a crucial part of career<br />
and lifestyle choice. There are a<br />
number of ways that help you identify<br />
various aspects of your personality.<br />
However, remember, you know<br />
yourself better than any computer<br />
program. Your answers on one day<br />
may be different to the next. Have<br />
some fun! Try some of these tests and<br />
see if any themes or insights emerge<br />
for you. Always do a reality check ……..<br />
is this a true reflection of me!<br />
A PERSONALITY TEST<br />
<strong>Centenary</strong> SHS has a computer based careers program called<br />
CAREER MATE. Part of this program is a personality test based<br />
on a “Myer Briggs Type Inventory” quiz. This type of quiz may<br />
be able to help you learn more about yourself. To do this quiz<br />
you will need to book into Guidance.<br />
There are many sites on the internet that also allow you to<br />
find out about the Myer Briggs Type Inventory quiz – maybe<br />
