2003-08-18 - 8:51 p.m. So, I'm seriously considering going back to college to finish up my degree and I'm also maybe looking to change careers. And I've been contemplating majoring in Math or something business because work will pay for it. But if I don't want to do what I've been doing, then why follow that path? It's been so long since I've thought about what I really want to do and what I'm best suited for by nature, that I figured that I'd take a career aptitude test. It didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know, but it did serve as a wake-up call and a reminder. I've always liked the idea that one should find someone to pay them for doing something that they love. And asked the question "If you could be paid to do anything, what would it be?" My answer has often been "Write, sing, or teach." Here are my results from the Career aptitude test: Interest in job content (Those tasks you want to perform) Preferences for Dolphin fully support being perceptually, subconsciously, and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, symbolic relationships, abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in Dolphin's mind, a process that just happens - a process often called intuition. It is not a conscious effort to logically "come up with" creative ideas; instead, the process is best identified with the statement that "a thought struck me." A quote by Carl Jung probably makes complete sense to Dolphin: "Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and makes a tool out of the human being. The thing in the final analysis that wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of the art." Dolphin is conscious of existence, meaning, purpose, potential and destiny of humankind, people, and self. Dolphin is motivated by a self-felt, self-accepted calling to the cause of good, growth, and gain in the lives of others. Influential communication of ideas is a primary way of achieving those objectives. Perception and thinking tend to be holistic and conceptual; i.e., seeing the big picture. It is important to see which of the other traits are interactive with this trait because there can be many interesting combinations. This is a major trait in cultural, intellectual, academic, and creative activities. It includes ideas, concepts, theory, ethics, and values. Dolphin prefers to associate with others socially, organizationally, and recreationally. In addition to assuring company with others, association is an important arena and environment for interacting with people in a variety of ways: leadership, managing, supervising, communicating, serving, caring, etc. Other traits have to be considered to determine how and why Dolphin is motivated to associate and interact with others. Dolphin is motivated to manage people and their activities. Such management can be exercised with a variety of talents Dolphin may possess and for a variety of reasons. The primary reasons may be: 1) to exercise executive, managerial, or supervisory responsibility and authority, 2) to have the management position, role and recognition, 3) to not be in a subordinate, supervised position or role. Because emphasis is on the management of people, this is seen by Dolphin as a service role where the managing is in the interest of those being managed. Whether Dolphin is motivated and equipped to manage on a "take charge" or "given charge" basis (an important difference) can be determined by the motivational strength and involvement of other related traits. Dolphin has a curiosity and awareness about the nature and utility of things. Analysis and experimentation are part of vocational and recreational activities. But those are probably not specialized or professional activities. Instead, they are a part of a mix of functional preferences. Preferences that are technically oriented cause Dolphin to think systematically and to be motivated where challenging activities are developmental or experimental. Dolphin has little need for or is not motivated by recognition, status, or competitive gain. Comfortable and satisfied with a subjective estimate of self in relation to others, opinions others hold about this person do not present serious effects, one way or the other. For Dolphin, personal and internal interests or drive motivates performance, not the promise of favor, recognition, or reward from external sources. Dolphin prefers to be with people and will most likely avoid activities that are done apart from others. Dolphin considers "one-among-others" togetherness as an essential environment for personal, work, and/or recreational activities. Deadlines do not motivate Dolphin as they only increase the pressure. "Deadline" is the word that comes to mind when Dolphin thinks or hears of plans, schedules, assignments, objectives, and/or goals. Dolphin needs and values leisure, flexibility, and opportunity to set and go at a self-pace (sometimes insisting on the right). If others try to push for faster performance from Dolphin, it could have the effect of slowing down progress even further. Dolphin is motivated very little by physically working with things and objects as a primary or important part of work or recreation. Other activities carry a higher priority. Sensory/physical traits have probably not been developed well enough to be considered a motivational feature of work. Dolphin prefers and may even require change and variety. Sameness and routine cause loss of interest, drive, and energy. Dolphin probably sees a truth in the saying "a change is as good as a rest." This individual enjoys vocation, recreation, and/or vacations that include lots of change and variety, new challenges and experiences as well as new contacts and acquaintances. Temperament for the job (How you prefer to perform tasks) Dolphin prefers and needs change and variety. Change is motivating, stimulating, and energizing. Dolphin looks for new options, challenges, assignments, acquaintances, relationships, and even new careers in new places. Dolphin tires of sameness, repetition, and routine even in activities that were interesting at the start. Once things become routine for Dolphin, this becomes a motivation to move on to more interesting things. Dolphin is most likely benevolent, voluntarily giving of self to help others, especially regarding current pain, hurts, stress, needs, and problems. This means empathetic, sympathetic, intentional, personal involvement in the personal lives of others to give help, sacrificially if necessary, and to subjectively gain personal satisfaction from providing personal service. (NOTE: emphasis is on the word "personal." This is a heart trait and is totally self-motivated and voluntary. It is one of the most strongly motivated traits in determining vocational dedication. The word "others" is important in the context of benevolence) Dolphin is probably more benevolent toward persons not intimately, formally, or organizationally related. (NOTE: Benevolence expects those in close relationships to join in the giving rather than being a priority recipient.) Nonetheless, Dolphin probably exhibits benevolence toward all persons. But benevolence does have priorities about eligibility of persons for help. Mind and mental activity are very central to Dolphin's vocational activities. (NOTE: "Intuition is very different from thought, from feeling and from sensation, by the major characteristic of insight. Intuition comes from the Latin meaning, literally, `in to you'. Intuitive insight results from `identification with,' rather than `looking at' the object of attention. It is `being a part of.' Intuiting is a process, not of perception, but of experience. There is no need for interpretation in intuition. Intuitive relationship implies contact. So one does not perceive; one experiences." ~~Quote from Robert Ashby) Dolphin has a preference or perhaps the talent or ability for experiencing abstract ideas, creativity, concepts, theory, assessment, and choice of options. New ideas and creativity must have an important place in vocation. Dolphin indicates a moderate preference to work under the competent leadership of others, closely with peers, or function independently. It is valuable to identify which social environment may be best suited for Dolphin, but the work role in and of itself is not the motivational factor. Dolphin is strongly motivated to be organizationally active with others. Dolphin senses and accepts a certain degree of self-assumed responsibility for the good, growth, and gain of others. Dolphin willingly accepts responsibility for exercising motivated talents. These may include leadership and/or management talents and, therefore, involve responsibilities for others. This is an important, broad, in-depth factor that includes social, leadership, management, and mental activities. Perception and thinking include seeing the big picture and handling responsibilities in that context. Most likely, Dolphin is logical and analytical and is motivated to make sense of perceptions by identifying how things logically fit together. This motivation fits well with scientific, research, management and literary and/or computational preferences. This mix of motivational preferences usually function in a conceptual context. Dolphin is motivated to influence and convince others as part of social, organizational, vocational, or recreational activities. A motivation exists to speak up when there is reason, occasion, or opportunity to sway others to Dolphin's ideas or way of thinking. Persuasive efforts may be oral, written, or via some media (like email). Motivation behind that persuasion is to get others to accept what one is communicating. Dolphin accepts and exercises responsibility for organizational management but may not necessarily seek out that role for self. Emphasis is on management of people, but that is directly tied to performance of existing, available skills and abilities. Performance and results are the main emphasis. Other traits must be studied to determine if Dolphin manages best on a take charge or given charge basis which has much to do with how personally or impersonally, performance-based or service-based, that management style will be. Dolphin highly prefers a given, known, managed, and supported organizational position and role, in which and from which, to functionally serve the interests of the organization. This is an involved service role. Dolphin does not prefer being tied to or tied down by timed, repetitious sensory/physical activity. Such work quickly becomes boring, frustrating, and stressful. In such work, Dolphin seeks and needs frequent breaks and other change and/or variety. Performance and quality of work tend to fade as repetitive activity continues. Dolphin does not generally see, retain, and/or recall verbatim detail and, instead, shows an awareness of concepts, patterns, general ideas, etc. Dolphin "Gets the drift" of what is seen, read, or heard. Recall is in general and in relative terms and not in specifics. Numbers are sometimes transposed. Words are read as form or pattern rather than by specific letters. Although this concept is built around ability, addressed here is how these abilities generally affect current preferences and specific motivations pertaining to the situation. Aptitude for the job (Expression of performing tasks) Dolphin's preferences and motivations are derived from understanding the deeper or 'real' meaning of ideas and words and uses them effectively in written or oral communication. Literary in this factor means intentional search for ideas expressed by the minds of others for one's own use, assimilation, learning, etc. The source can be books, other publications, historical documents, research information, drama, movies, television, the "information highway" or internet, etc. Emphasis is on communication: picking up information from minds of others or communication aimed toward the minds of others. Journalism and writing are major activities. Literary activity is not exclusively intellectual, academic, or cultural. It may be an end in itself as in a bookworm for instance. And literary activity is not always accompanied by communicative activity, written or oral. On the other hand, communicative activity need not be literary in the classic sense. And one need not be persuasive to be communicative, but it helps. When the trait is highly motivated, as it is here, it suggests both literary and communicative abilities that are or could become a usable skill or a developed talent. By now you can see that only a review of all traits will clearly show the specific content of Dolphin's literary and/or communicative preferences and motivations. Dolphin's preferences, more often than not, are motivated by such things as sensing and seeing aesthetics, essence, philosophical and psychological meaning, and effect of color. Dolphin probably doesn't consider the saying, "Beauty is more than skin deep" as a cliche. Further, Dolphin considers pattern, texture, and spatial measure: size, shape, distance, dimension, perspective, relationship, etc. with the same regard. This includes abstract dimensions and patterns, graphics, layouts, etc. (NOTE: That higher artistic sense is the source of abstract art, animated films, computer graphics, fractal geometry, new clothing designs and styles, modern architecture, etc.) Dolphin would probably make a permanent mental note of the quote from Carl Jung, "The artist is essentially the instrument, and he stands below his work, for which reason we should never expect from him an interpretation of his own work. He achieved his highest with his composition." Dolphin's preferences fully support holistic, conceptual perception, and thinking relative to the basic nature, utility, potential, or strategic possibility of what is being observed or considered. This includes intuition, insight, creativity, curiosity, experimentation, and innovation in various degrees. Ideas are at the heart of this talent. The basic orientation is perceptual and mental seeing. Intellectual and/or analytical work, most likely represent somewhat important types of mental activities. A review of the other traits will identify Dolphin's potential for philosophical, cultural, scientific, managerial, and/or computational activities. Motivation for this factor means that interest in all areas listed probably does not mean equal motivation or ability for all. Dolphin is aware of details for their own sake, and sees the linkage and relationship associating that detail with something larger, unitary, and complete. Therefore detail is seen as a piece of the picture. If not seen as part of the known picture, it is seen as most likely important for a probable picture. In other words, Dolphin is motivated to build or fill something meaningful with what is at hand. This is a practical, objective, manipulative, or managerial orientation related to what must be or could be managed. The motivations and preferences influencing Dolphin's mind tend to not be oriented toward placing importance or emphasis on sensory/physical activity. Instead of `thinking' what to do physically, or how to do it, other activities have much higher priority and therefore, preferences and motivations tend to lean towards those alternative activities. It is unlikely that Dolphin has a high preference for sensory/physical activities. More than likely, Dolphin does not have highly developed, consistently reliable sensory/physical motivations either learned or naturally. There is little motivation to physically perform better each time, to beat one's last score (as in a game), to be the best operator in the crew, to look forward and back at sensory/physical activity as challenging and fun. Instead, Dolphin prefers to consider the sensory/physical system (the body) as 'on call' and adequately able to perform as expected. Dolphin has clear preferences that do not include handling minute manipulation of detail for extended periods of time. If asked, splicing telephone wires at a switchboard installation or knitting a sweater to enter in a county fair competition, Dolphin would likely indicate that these are not a preferred career or avocation. Dolphin is not motivated for what is called `workbench' activity where a person manually (primarily arms, hands, fingers) processes materials. There can be many reasons for disinterest in that activity: 1) Dolphin is motivated to do other things, 2) Dolphin does not naturally have the talent for sensory/physical activity of that kind, 3) the activity is too monotonous for Dolphin's activity preferences, or 4) it is too non-social where social activities are preferred. It is important to identify the reason(s) so Dolphin can function where natural talent or already existing skills and abilities as well as motivation are greater. In activities where Dolphin's motivational levels are highest is where awareness of specific detail is most likely. Otherwise, preferences lean towards other considerations not necessarily oriented toward details. Dolphin probably knows the saying 'There is a place for everything . . .', but everything doesn't always (or very often) get to that assigned place. If involved too much or too long where a preference for detail is required, Dolphin can actually experience a certain, (what can only be considered a mental form of) claustrophobia that may have adverse effects on mental activity. Math may be about the same as a foreign language for Dolphin. At least, it is foreign to Dolphin's mental preferences in one-way or another. Mathematical problems seem to become bigger problems if Dolphin tries to solve them. Mental gears seem to get jammed in the middle of a math problem, and success in the form of a solution is without internal reward or satisfaction. People (How you relate to people, in priority order) "Mentor: a trusted counselor or guide." Dolphin is interested in and consciously prefers to consider the existence, meaning, purpose, potential, and destiny of mankind, people, persons, and self; with self-felt, self-accepted responsibility to influence and/or cause good, growth, and gain in the lives of all concerned. Dolphin has intuition and philosophical curiosity that causes an awareness of personality, intentions, emotions, ethics, values, and moods of other persons, and of self. By itself, this is not benevolence. If Dolphin is highly motivated for benevolent activities, this trait is compulsively central to personal and vocational activities. If there is a lack of personal motivation, then the preference for consideration tends to be more philosophical or academic in nature, but still service oriented. Dolphin's motivations are heightened significantly by persuasive, gregarious, auditory-musical, visual-artistic, and communicative traits to entertain others with intent to convince them toward a particular idea, viewpoint, direction, objective, or product. In this motivational context, entertainment is more than pleasing people. It has promotional and marketing objectives. Some preferred activities include: marketing, sales, public relations, television commercials, lobbying, political campaigns, promotional consulting, sports announcing, etc. Motivations may also be driven at the prospect of efforts to get ahead in various areas of entertainment and/or acting, i.e., to advance one's own career. Persuasion is the primary preferred trait. A high level of motivation exists because there is an element of risk involved where the effort has a goal tied to the end of the act. Philosophical, literary, scientific, managerial and/or persuasive traits may be involved in Dolphin's motivation and drive to educate, train, or influence others. The main preference is to share knowledge and information that will be useful. So, conveying information to others assumes that educating self precedes educating others. Dolphin is motivated by learning, seeing the big picture, recognizing how pieces fit the picture, and prefers passing information on to others. Because so many traits might be involved in instructing activities, it is important to scan the other traits to see which traits are important. Dolphin feels both privilege and responsibility to use communication (including persuasion) to voluntarily provide beneficial information to others. This includes strongly motivated benevolent and literary traits. Self-satisfaction comes almost exclusively from the subjective realization that the information, voluntarily given, has been helpful to other persons. Dolphin is further motivated to learn and understand the other person(s) needs wishes and listening preferences. Non-persuasive service communication can become persuasive and persistent when expressed in the interest of someone needing Dolphin to stand up for them. Highly motivated persuasion means that Dolphin intends to assertively, even aggressively, make direct personal contact with others, orally project a message with the deliberate intent and attempt to cause the listener or listeners to hear what is said, accept what is said, and act on what was said, so that Dolphin can close the deal. If it is for commission (i.e., in the seller's interest), it will be a hard-sell even though it might come across as a soft-sell. If it has philosophical or benevolent objectives, it will be a soft-sell. But if Dolphin is defending and/or championing the cause of the underdog or the less fortunate, then it will seem as if some modern-day Don Quixote and/or Joan of Arc are doing the persuading. (Note: As a single trait, persuasion is the most deliberately assertive, often aggressive, psychological expression/effort of an individual.) Dolphin can be motivated in some situations to assume the responsibilities for planning, assigning, directing, supervising, and monitoring work activities of others. Preferences lean toward steady, on-site contact and interaction with those being supervised. Motivational levels are effected by the amount of responsibilities that include morale, attitudes, attendance, training, safety, and getting adequate quality and performance from employees. Dolphin is empathetically and sympathetically aware of the hurts, needs, problems, and wishes of others and is motivated to help whenever possible. There is inclination and willingness to get personally involved in the personal lives of others in order to help with one's talents and resources. Although only moderately motivated in this social service trait, it is hard for Dolphin to ignore or say "no" to anyone less fortunate. Dolphin has motivation and, more than likely, the natural talent for assertively negotiating or an adequate motivational level that supports training in that area. This includes strategic thinking, influential communication, analysis, and/or persuasion. Many traits are involved, and their motivational levels determine the amount of involvement and influence of each trait. Strategic thinking is considered a preferred key element. Things (How you relate to things, in priority order) Dolphin is not motivated toward processing activities, no matter what is being processed or who is doing the processing. There is no natural preference for this sort of activity. For one or more of a variety of possible reasons, Dolphin does not prefer working with heavy equipment operation. Manual labor is not an activity where Dolphin is in any way motivated. Routine, elementary, sensory/physical activity is not preferred; instead, it probably is experienced as boring, frustrating, and stressful. "Being stuck to a machine all day" is not Dolphin's definition for a satisfying vocation, occupation, or job. There is little preference for understanding machines, little preference for steadily monitoring machine performance, and little motivation for coping with the routine that is required. Engineering activities, regarding mechanics, systems, etc., do not fit Dolphin's vocational interests. Dolphin's motivations are not compatible with assembly line activity where one is locked into operational processes by station, function, and timing. Such activity would most likely be boring, tiring, frustrating, and stressful for Dolphin in a short time. Dolphin is most likely not motivated to engage in activities requiring close, constant attention to precise standards, exact measurements, close tolerances, detection of minor defects, and long concentration on the process. Instead, there is a demonstrated preference for change, variety, and activities with less concentration and specialized focus. Dolphin's preferences and motivations in vocational activity are not oriented toward routine, alert monitoring, recording, and reporting of operational or machine processes. Such activity is too clerical for Dolphin's preferences. Data (How you relate to data, in priority order) "Synthesize: putting two or more things together to form a whole; the combination of separate elements of thought into a whole; the operation by which divided parts are united" (Webster). Dolphin is motivated by seeing the big picture so much so that (s)he, attempts to see all parts of the picture in that larger context, then sees all parts relative to each other, but still within that larger context. Perception and thinking are therefore holistic and conceptual. Philosophical and intuitive processes are involved. Scientific, managerial, and/or literary preferences may also be involved. Other mental factors in this section are subordinate, secondary, or complementary to this primary motivational attribute. This is an overview and scanning activity that includes ideas, concepts, theory, fiction, hypothesis and assessment. (Note that words in the last sentence are unrelated to logic that Webster defines as "the science of the operations of the understanding subservient to the estimation of evidence.") For Dolphin, preferences for this sort of synthesis will allow it to get no further toward logic than estimating. Dolphin has analytical, research, and innovative preferences. Establishing an objective for new breakthroughs, innovative pathways, and achieving developmental progress motivate mental activity. It is important to determine where this analytical part of mental activity fits with other mental traits and their preferences or motivations. It assures that Dolphin is most likely open to new ideas and also motivated to identify the usefulness of those ideas. Dolphin prefers an emphasis on utility when called upon to recognize and identify or classify important factors related to the context, content, operations, and objectives of projects. (NOTE: This is an important trait for research, technical activities, systems engineering, operations management, and administrative activity). Dolphin does not prefer mailroom activities; i.e., duplicating and processing forms, bulletins, envelopes, etc. Detail and routine are most likely avoided as are activities related to them. Dolphin is not naturally motivated to remain attentive to detail and does not prefer clerical or administrative activities. Dolphin can probably see the truth and perhaps humor in the statement: 'If information is saved for future reference or use, it is quite likely that it will not be remembered, or its location will be forgotten'. Dolphin is mostly likely to remember information in general terms relative to the main theme or subject. Dolphin is not motivated to lead, manage, coordinate, manipulate, or administratively control processes. Therefore, mental preferences tend to be independent of strategic, competitive, operational, or administrative management or manipulation. Preferences behind 'thinking' tend to be an end in and of itself and possibly somewhat distant from direct functional applications. Routine, factual, mathematical problem solving does not represent any vocational preferences for Dolphin. Therefore, possibly math is not a willing or well-developed skill, and Dolphin would probably prefer it typically not be a significant part of vocational responsibilities or activities. Study of all traits, particularly those related to mathematical capacity, will identify why this is not a particularly motivational activity. Reasoning (How you relate to reasoning, in priority order) Dolphin is strongly motivated to apply thinking to the big picture through holistic ideas, concepts, options, and strategies. This does not mean, suggest, or imply that thinking is kept only in a holistic context but it does mean that the first and constant priority or preference for consideration and focus are on the big picture. (Example: Dolphin more likely prefers to be an executive rather than a manager, and more inclined to be a manager rather than a supervisor.) Considering how pieces of the picture are brought in to the big picture stimulates motivation for the activity. The preferences in Dolphin's mind tend to be oriented toward systems engineering: identifying, analyzing, and solving challenges and/or problems by collecting data, establishing facts, connecting abstract and concrete variables, drawing valid conclusions, determining appropriate actions, and devising strategies and systems to achieve objectives. Many traits are involved. Since there is a moderate motivational level to work with systems engineering for Dolphin, all of those traits may not have strong or equal motivational levels. Review of all traits will identify which area or areas of engineering represent higher motivational levels for Dolphin. Dolphin is not motivated to participate where simple, routine, basic tasks are primary. Problems and problem-solving responsibilities do not motivate Dolphin. Management responsibilities for problem solving are more than likely avoided. Dolphin assumes or hopes that things will occur without problems. When problems arise, they may be experienced as frustrating and stressful. Methodical, meticulous, routine activities do not motivate, are not acceptable, or tolerable for Dolphin. Change, variety, options, challenge, and opportunity to move up based on merit represent more preferred activities. Dolphin literally may get 'system claustrophobia' if he/she has prolonged involvement in running, monitoring, or maintaining systems. The experience will most likely be regarded as boring, frustrating, and quite stressful. It could eventually lead to the proverbial question of which will have the first breakdown the system or Dolphin. This of course indicates no motivation or natural preference with regard to systems. Mathematical Capacity (How you relate to the applied usage of Math) Management responsibility based on mathematical calculations and decisions is not a preferred activity for Dolphin. Theoretical, abstract math does not define a preference for Dolphin, and perhaps math itself simply may not be a motivational factor. Review of all related traits identify if and where math may motivate Dolphin and how that may be applicable to occupational activities. Statistical and/or investigative kinds of math are not motivational for Dolphin's perception of math and may even consider the practice as too esoteric. Arithmetic and business math may be within the range of what Dolphin considers self as able, but it still probably falls outside of what is motivational. In that instance, Dolphin probably relates to the old saying: "I can, but who says I want to?" Dolphin is not motivated by routine, basic mathematic-oriented activities and prefers not to work with math nor depend on math skills in occupational activities. Dolphin does not prefer activities requiring verbatim perception, recording, and/or processing of details, especially where numbers are involved. Dolphin may simply lack interest or the motivation to express self vocationally through the use of basic math skills while possibly quite capable. This is most likely demonstrated by consistent inaccuracy when making basic arithmetic calculations. Language Capacity (How you relate to the usage of language) Dolphin is highly motivated to consider creative writing and communicating at professional levels. Preferences are holistic, conceptual, imaginative, and creative. "Ideas trigger more ideas" can probably be said about Dolphin. High motivational levels for this worker trait indicate an interactive combination of literary and philosophical traits. As Dean W. R. Inge said, "Literature flourishes best when it is half a trade and half an art." That probably makes a great deal of sense to Dolphin. Motivation at this level indicate preferences that probably include writing fiction, poetry, scripts for movies or television, advertising copy, marketing copy, teaching creative writing, etc. Dolphin is motivated to describe, explain, teach, illustrate, and interpret. This is a journalistic trait dedicated to inform people. Social, leadership, influential, technical, service, and functional traits are involved as well. Therefore, it is necessary to review all worker traits to more closely identify Dolphin's preferences relative to this trait. For Dolphin technical information management is not a motivational factor. There is seemingly too much detail, routine, and paper work to maintain interest beyond a brief period of time. Dolphin does not pay particularly close attention to non-motivational information, data, or detail such as elementary and basic instructions. The natural preference may be to simply use common sense or to experiment in order to figure it out.
