(From CareerBuilder.com -- By Laura Morsch)
Are you outgoing and outdoorsy? How about mild-mannered and detail-oriented?
People's personalities can play a major role in their career choices. For example, someone who prefers being active and working in the sunshine might be miserable in a sedentary desk job. Likewise, people who prefer working alone might not excel in a team environment.
Knowing this, MICHAEL FARR and LAURENCE SHATKIN, Ph.D.s, examined the relationship between personality and careers in their book 50 BEST JOBS FOR YOUR PERSONALITY. They began with looking at six personality types created in the 1950s by career guidance researcher JOHN HOLLAND.
Farr and Shatkin then created a database of about 1,000 job titles using information from THE OCCUPATIONAL INFORMATION NETWORK, THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU and other sources, rating these jobs in terms of the six personality types. They then ranked the jobs by annual earnings, projected growths and projected yearly job openings.
