Careers Guidance Report
Private and Confidential

28th March, 2002      

Mrs Alberta Anderson

The following assessment has been produced by whichCAREER.com. It uses a combination of validated psychometric measures and has been written to assist you in your choice of career and occupation.

You should find that this report is a valuable aid, as are all psychometric measures, when used in conjunction with other sources of data. It is not intended to be used in isolation. One of its greatest benefits is to pinpoint areas of strengths which you should follow up.

The report is divided into four sections. The first is your personality profile, summarising your personality in relation to your workplace. The second section summarises of your occupational preferences, based on your reported interests. The third section reports your aptitudes as measured by the questionnaires. Finally, the report makes recommendations on the fields of endeavour that you should investigate. These should be pursued at the levels indicated in the career preferences section of the report.

The report shows remarkable accuracy if the questionnaires have been answered honestly. Even if one or two errors have occurred, the measures have been designed to minimise their effect. The report however will be invalid if there has been a deliberate attempt to deceive.

Good luck with your career!

Your first preference is to work in occupations connected with communications and culture. Your second preference is to work in the civil service or in a large organization. In addition, you are interested in working in occupations with a business orientation.

Your intellectual abilities are rated as high in comparison to the overall adult population. You have good problem-solving skills, and can deal with most problems that are presented to you.

SUMMARY & SUGGESTIONS

You work best and are motivated by situations which allow you to have power, authority, freedom and recognition for the work that you are doing. You want to do things in a systematic, logical manner. Security and clear objectives are important to you.

Your choice of occupation or field of interest is only partially crystalised, and it is likely that you will still find it somewhat difficult to work towards completing the necessary training in order to realize your aspirations.

• Ecology
• Public Administration
• Political Science
