Reflection:
 My career path is psychology, with a focus in therapy in relation to neuroscience, when
someone has a chemical or hormonal imbalance, or an injury. The traits and skills listed for my
personality intertwine with the skills needed for psychology. Ever since I was little, I have always
felt myself needing to help people, especially when they were hurt or struggling with something.
This summer, I went to Peru on a Global Health volunteer trip and got to work hands on helping
patients. This experience affirmed my decision to go into healthcare. I am going to Simon Fraser
University for Behavioral Neuroscience and after my degree, I may try to go to medical school to
be a psychiatrist or get a masters and PhD. This depends on if I am more passionate in
medicine or psychology. I will use many traits in my future career, such as kindness and ability
to listen and resolve concerns. This is extremely important in psychology as people become
vulnerable. Traits such as observant, hardworking, and supportive will be incredibly useful as it
allows people to feel comfortable opening up to me.

I feel this test was accurate with what careers I would work well in. Currently, I am in retail
which is a good fit for me as I get to help people choose outfits and find clothing throughout the
store. I feel this an accurate depiction of my personality. It was quite surprising how accurate my
character traits were. I agree that I am supportive, reliable, and hardworking. I definitely take
things personally and I am reluctant to change, but I am working on this by trying new things
even when I get nervous. Within relationships, people often turn to me in times of need for
advice which is represented by my personality type. At my job, I always give people great
service and I am known to solve problems efficiently and effectively. I am extremely unwilling to
play up my achievements and often just wait until someone notices my hard work. Last month, I
quit my old job as a kitchen manager and hostess as I felt lots of extra work was pushed onto
me as I was reliable to get it done (imagine hosting, serving, making food, and doing dishes at
the same time on a busy Friday night). This change from a job I had been at for over a year with
great coworkers to retail was difficult, but worth it. I was also trusted a lot at work; as a manager
I had a key to the restaurant and was responsible for all closing, opening, and handling the
money from the till.
