If you had to describe who you are as a future professional in your career field, what would you say? This lesson has prepared you to create this description in three categories: personality, values, and learning style. Use what you have learned to create a poster that describes who you are in these three categories. Your poster should include the following information:
Personality Describe your personality type. Highlight the areas where you think the type description applies to you most strongly. How will your career allow you to express these traits?Values Highlight your most important career values. How will your career allow you to express these values?Learning Preferences Highlight your top two learning preferences. Based on your learning preferences, what techniques wil be most successful for you when you must learn new information "on the job"?Your poster should use appropriate graphics and other items to display some information visually. Consider using an online graphic design program such as Canva or JukeboxPrint. Or, use clip art and/or templates in Microsoft Word. However you choose to create your poster, you must convert it to .PDF for upload to the dropbox.

Now spend some time on the 16 Personalities website reading your detailed type description. At a minimum, read the "Strengths and Weaknesses," "Career Paths," and "Workplace Habits" for your type.
Now share your MBTI results to the discussion board. What “type” are you? (Give the 4-letter code as well as the name of your type). Give a description of your type, illustrating with specific examples from your own life.
Next, describe the suggested career paths and workplace habits for people of your type.
• Do you believe the job you are aiming for matches this description? Why or why not?• If not, reflect on what is likely to be challenging for you about this job.
After you’ve completed your initial post, browse your classmates. Do you see anyone else of your own type? Be sure to say hello! In all of your responses, share your thoughts on whether your classmate’s chosen career is a good match to their type. If they’ve identified challenges they may face in this job because of their type, suggest ways they could overcome those challenges--or alternative career paths they might consider.
