Personality and passion is the factor that helps people succeed in their careers. This is why young people strive to explore themselves and gain diverse experiences in order to find the right path. However, it is difficult for anyone to truly understand themselves. That is why career assessment tests were created. They help each person identify their strengths, innate abilities, development tendencies, and suitable fields or jobs.
So, specifically, how can career orientation tests help you? Let’s explore this together with VienQuest Institute and choose the method that suits you.
1. Popular career assessment tests today
1.1. The Holland Personality Assessment
The Holland Assessment was developed based on the personality classification model of American psychologist and physician John Holland. The assessment has been highly regarded by many academics and researchers for its reliability. This model is widely used in general career guidance programs around the world, especially in education-leading countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, and Sweden.
The Holland Assessment classifies people into six different personality groups, corresponding to six specialized career groups: Realistic – Technical, Investigative – Research, Artistic – Arts, Social – Social Services, Enterprising – Management, and Conventional – Administration.
The advantage of the Holland Assessment is that its questions are designed to be simple yet effective. This means it does not take too much time to consider, making it convenient for a fast-paced life. By identifying each individual’s outstanding potential abilities, it can also help you choose a working environment that matches your interests.
However, answering quickly may lead participants to provide insufficiently considered responses. In some cases, the diagnostic results may be inaccurate. Therefore, participants should think carefully and answer seriously. Only then can you truly understand yourself.
1.2. The MBTI Personality Assessment
MBTI also known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, was developed by the American mother-and-daughter team Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. Its purpose is to explore psychology and identify each person’s personality by examining perceptions of interpersonal connections and interactions, worldview, and how people handle problems. For this reason, MBTI helps individuals gain a deeper understanding of their relationships and provides suggestions for solving problems.
MBTI divides human personality into four basic criteria:
- Natural orientation (Extrovert – outgoing, Introvert – introverted)
- Understanding and perceiving the world (Sensors – practical, Intuitives – intuitive)
- Decision-making and choices (Thinkers – analytical, Feelers – empathetic)
- Approach to action (Judges – structured, Perceivers – flexible)
From these four basic dimensions, MBTI identifies 16 personality types. Each type corresponds to different working environments and career orientations. The MBTI assessment can be combined with the Holland Personality Assessment or Trait-map. This provides more detailed and clearer results, giving you a better-defined career and personal direction.
1.3. The Trait-map Career Personality Assessment
Trait-map helps you decoding yourself based on results from the Big Five model. This model reflects five defining personality traits of an individual: Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and sensitivity. Trait-map helps identify participants’ personalities and recognize their visible and hidden personality types, as well as their perspectives on life and work, with clarity.
Mỗi người trong chúng ta luôn tồn tại 5 loại tính cách này, chỉ là tính cách nào vượt trội hơn, và tính cách nào ít thể hiện mà thôi.
Trait-map uses different types of questions that place respondents in specific contexts. The questions are interwoven, and the assessment system also controls response time. This encourages participants to be honest and serious throughout the process.
To help you understand who you are today, Trait-map provides an assessment based on the first 5 factors/aspects: (1) social behavior, (2) work focus, (3) emotional aspects, (4) openness, and (5) risk of burnout (a unique aspect that no other tool has been able to measure). Moreover, each personality type is analyzed in greater depth through 25 different personality tendencies. This makes self-understanding less vague, with everything becoming clearer and more evidence-based.
2. Trait-map and making the right hire
In addition, Trait-map helps you measure workplace skills, teamwork, and conflict tendencies. These are highly important factors at work. This is also why, for more than 11 years, recruiters have trusted Trait-map for hiring the right person for the right position. Managers also use it to train employees and measure organizational strength through team reports. It helps minimize wrong hires, ineffective training, and weak human resources.
By clearly understanding your personality and strengths, career orientation becomes clearer and more accurate. Each person can shape their identity, develop in the right way, recognize their value, and succeed.
