Strengths, Interests, Values Reflection

Part 1: Do What You Are

Complete the Do What You Are survey in Naviance. Use your report to answer the questions
below.
1. What is your personality type?
A: My personality type is ISFJ, which stands for Introverts, Sensors, Feelers, and Judgers.

2. What does each aspect of your personality mean about you?

A: Each aspect relates to me differently. Most relate to me a lot because it is my
personality. Introvert relates to me because I work at a careful but steady pace. Sensors
prefer to apply past experiences to solving problems and that’s the same with me. I have
messed up a lot but with that comes knowledge for the future. Feelers tend to help others
and be appreciated, and I literally try to do helpful things daily. Lastly, Judgers tend to
complete their responsibilities before relaxing. That is me. For example, I cannot relax
until where I’m relaxing is comfortable for me, meaning cleaning.

3. List two strengths indicated on your report. Give an example from your life that
demonstrates that these qualities are strengths.
A: Two strengths I have are making thoughtful decisions and being a good listener. These
relate to me because as I grow older I’ve learned that thinking before you act is a big step
in maturing. Also, listening is another strength for me because I try to listen to what the
other person is saying to me before I respond so I can fully grasp what they’re explaining
to me.

4. What qualities should a career have in order to satisfy your particular personality?
A: Some qualities that satisfy my personality would be letting me work privately and not
require lots of public interaction. I work best when I can work alone and have plenty of
time and space to do my work uninterrupted.

5. How can you use this information to make an informed career choice?
A: This information would help me while looking for a job because I would be cautious of
the environment and the atmosphere of the workplace.

12. What are your top three work values?
A: My top 3 work values are Independent, Support, and Relationships.

13. What do these work values mean about you?

because sometimes it is not what you know that matters, it is who you know.

A: These three values help in an everyday workplace because I would need someone who
is independent like myself to work by themselves when times are busy. I need workers to
support each other to finish the job, and in my chosen line of work, coworkers need to
have solid relationships, so there are no problems that disrupt our productivity and
purpose.
