Personality Inventory
“Do What You Are”
•
The “Do What You Are” personality assessment is linked
to the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory, which is used
in business and education around the world. You will take
this assessment to discover your basic personality type as
well as possible careers that are connected to your personal
interests and goals.
•
The “Do What You Are” assessment is a personality
survey. Use the results to explore suggested college majors
and careers based on your preferences and strengths.

The identification and description of the 16 distinctive personality types that result
from the interactions among their preferences.
• Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner
world? This is called Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
•
Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do
you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This is called Sensing (S) or Intuition
(N).
•
Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and
consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances? This is
called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
•
Structure: In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided
or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options? This is
called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
Myers Briggs: Personality Types
• An individual is either primarily
Extraverted or Introverted
• An individual is either primarily
Sensing or iNtuitive
• An individual is either primarily
Thinking or Feeling
• An individual is either primarily
Judging or Perceiving
The possible combinations of the basic
preferences form 16 different Personality Types.
This does not mean that all (or even most)
individuals will fall strictly into one category or
another.
We all function in all of these realms on a daily
basis.
However by identifying which personality type we
demonstrate more readily, we can identify our
natural preference, and learn about our natural
strengths and weaknesses within that context.
