While I have been on my career search-I have been trying to find what occupation matches my abilities, personality and simply something I would enjoy doing. I came across this article 'The Hidden Hand of Your Personality' it has links to personality test and other useful information. However sometimes I am led to believe that it doesn't matter. People would like to do something they enjoy but other circumstances like financial security, location, or other obligations get in the way of their "dream Job" or vocation.
So are these personality test like astrology? Do they categorize your personality into a specific type and some how believe that due to these traits you act a certain way or should be working in a particular field?
I linked the post below an it might be interesting to see how many personality types are actually doing what these test suggest might be your 'calling.'

apprehentions about blogging
Its 10:25 pm I have a class assignment due tomorrow. I have to post a blog for this class that I am taking as an elective and my first reaction is "why?" But now its less then 24 hours that this homework is due and I haven't the slightest clue where to begin ... so I tell myself-just write!
So, I have obviously never posted a blog. I never wanted to. Why should I do this? How can I benefit from writing my thoughts, ideas or opinions and have them criticized by others. These people don't know me, understand me...can they even relate to me? In the mist of my apprehensions I get an answer.
The answer is 'Why not write this-JUST TRY IT, you have nothing to lose' or do I?
I CAN RELATE TO OTHERS about these fears of blogging or putting myself out in the Internet.
OTHERS DO FEEL THE SAME, actually while discussing this assignment with another classmate they felt my same apprehensions and we joked about what we would write or what others would think.
I CAN BENEFIT FROM BLOGGING cause I am learning about myself and others.
But the truth is as I try to write my thoughts, they start racing and I want to get this all down- before I forget it . But my fears of blogging won't let me....so what do I do now? I guess I'll throw this into cyber space and just wait and see!
