In an analysis of the results of four different personality tests, I discovered not only my personality type, but also my study and time management skills. I learned that my personality type matches the traits necessary for my desired career in social work. This analysis is helpful in understanding my personality and its relationship to my success in college and life. The Holland Code test revealed that I am a helpful persuader and organizer; my personality type is Social-Conventional-Enterprising (SCE). This test was found to be mostly accurate. I agree with the majority of the descriptions for each of the three traits. My highest-rated type, Social, is described as a person whose needs are met in helping or teaching situations, who is drawn to seeking close relationships with other people and is less likely to seek out physical or intellectual activities. This is an accurate description of myself. I find that I am most satisfied when I help someone. I enjoy having close relationships with people and I actually feel more comfortable in a few close personal relationships than in many less personal relationships. The second highest rated type, conventional, is perhaps the most questionable. I don't really like finding myself in a situation, whether personal or professional, that is unstructured or unclear. I like to be aware of my situation and surroundings, and I become very uncomfortable when the situation is unclear. Although I appreciate structure and order, I am not one to conform to rules and regulations. I believe that these contrasting feelings can be best explained in such a way that I much prefer order and structure when I define them myself, rather than having rules and regulations imposed on me. Third, the Holland Code test...... middle of paper ...... and school social worker is a recommended career for my Holland Code, SECIAR. Obviously, having a social type personality is essential because social work is all about helping others. Social workers must also respond to challenges in a practical, realistic and enthusiastic manner. One of the key roles of a child, family and school social worker is to provide assistance to maximize family well-being and improve the social and psychological functioning of children and their families. Common situations that present themselves to a social worker include cases of adoption, neglect, abuse, teenage pregnancy, and truancy. The ability to provide help based on solid information is of utmost importance in cases like these. The fact that my personality type has these characteristics further assures me that I am heading in the right direction for a fulfilling career that will last a lifetime..
