just common sense: that people have an aspect called personality that

makes them feel more comfortable in some situations than in others. People

who have a certain personality feel more capable of doing certain things and

dealing with certain problems; they also feel more accepted when they are

among people with personalities similar to their own. This is especially true

for one place where people spend a major portion of their time: at work.

People want to feel they fit in with the people and with the activities where

they work.

If personality is the key to this feeling of fitting in, then you need to consider

this question: What kind of personality do you have? Maybe you can come up

with a few ways to describe yourself, such as “sunny,” “energetic,” “conscien-

tious,” “loyal,” “outgoing,” “funny,” or “competitive.” But what do those

terms suggest for the kind of work you might enjoy and do well? What terms

might be more useful?

This book can help you think about your personality in terms that have

proven relevance to the world of work. You’ll learn about the personality

types that many psychologists and guidance practitioners use to describe peo-

ple and jobs. You’ll take a quick assessment to help you clarify your dominant

personality type. Then you’ll dig into a gold mine of facts about the jobs that

are the best fit for your personality type—and that are the best for other rea-

sons, such as their wages and job openings. The lists of “best jobs” will help

you zero in on promising careers, and the descriptive profiles of the jobs will

open your eyes to career choices that previously you may not have known

much about.

We all want to fit in somewhere. And there are probably several different

careers where each of us could fit in. But why not do it in a really good job?

That’s what this book can help you choose.

Credits and Acknowledgments: While the authors created this book, it is based on the work of many others. The occupational information is based on

data obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Census Bureau. These sources provide the most authoritative occupational information

available. The job titles and their related descriptions are from the O*NET database, which was developed by researchers and developers under the

direction of the U.S. Department of Labor. They, in turn, were assisted by thousands of employers who provided details on the nature of work in the

many thousands of job samplings used in the database’s development. We used the most recent version of the O*NET database, release 7. We

appreciate and thank the staff of the U.S. Department of Labor for their efforts and expertise in providing such a rich source of data.
