John's Occupational Factors

If you are interested in an occupation that is not listed above, try to accurately prioritize the following profile criteria.  If you prioritize the below list, it will be easier to identify the most important occupational factors to you:

John's 
Four Primary Characteristics

1.  In the workplace, you are reserved & introspective and most likely:

• Think about what you are going to say before you say it, and wish that others would do the same. You may tell others that you "need time to think about their proposal".

• Have a high level of concentration, require quiet time for yourself, and do not appreciate having this time invaded by others.

• Are willing to listen to others, but get annoyed when you are not given the same courtesy.

• Are sometimes perceived by others as shy or aloof; and although you may not agree, others may see you as distant and reflective.

• Get agitated when others say what you were going to say or interrupt you, and you wish you were more commanding in those situations.

• Need alone time to be refreshed, after having to socialize, talk, or meet with others. The more intense the interaction, the more likely you will need refreshing.

• Mean what you say and say what you mean, and you get wary if people are too flattering or aggravated if someone repeats what has already been said.

2.  You are idealistic & theoretical and most likely:

• Find that repetitive detail-oriented tasks are a fast track to boredom.

• Receive satisfaction by figuring out how things work just for the sake of curiosity.

• Get more energized by future possibilities, than what is going on in the here and now.

• Don't consider yourself tardy for a meeting or gathering unless it has already started.

• Juggle and think about many things at once.

• Find that you are interested in understanding how things are related and interconnected. You see few things as self-evident, always ready to pose the question, "What does that mean"?

• Are inclined to give broad answers to questions, and non-specific instructions to tasks you want carried out. In your mind, you may think everyone is intuitive enough to understand what is expected. However, when they don't, you can become agitated.

3.  You are objective & analytical and most likely:

• Don’t get overwhelmed when having to make difficult decisions.

• Are able to work with others regardless of your personal differences.

• Find information credible if there is logical and relevant evidence to back it up.

• Are more unyielding than softhearted when discussing a matter you do not agree with.

• Can take either side of a misunderstanding and give a convincing argument. (Just another chance to use your thinking).

• Are more concerned with being just and straightforward when you have a difference of opinion, than spending effort on making people happy.

• Find it possible to remain impartial and composed in scenarios when others get emotional. Even though others often mistakenly view this as insensitive and callous.

4.  You are structured & decisive and most likely:

• Have a place for everything and are not satisfied until everything is where it belongs. You have a special system for keeping things on your desk, on your walls, and in your files.

• Are "SURE" that the world would be a better place if everyone would simply do what they're supposed to do, when their supposed to do it.

• Have your days scheduled and planned out before they start, and can get unnerved when things don't go as planned.

• Communicate to everyone that you don't like surprises.

• Make lists to stay structured, and cross things off as they are accomplished.

• Have been accused of being angry when you are only expressing your opinion.

• Like to work things through to completion and get them out of the way, even if you know you're going to have to do it over again later to get it right.

John as a Developer at Work

As a Developer at work, John, you can succeed in nearly any occupation you choose, as long as it doesn't involve too much monotonous routine, at which point you likely become restless. You are excellent at contributing to innovative projects that test your ingenuity; and you excel at using your ability to see possibilities and analyzing them to logically solve problems. Clearly, any project that gives you an opportunity to learn, and use your creative impulse seems very worthwhile. However, you can lose much of your energy for a project when faced with following through with the tedious details. You can almost always find a logical reason for the things that you want, and because of your keen awareness and logic, you can easily see the flaw in any opposing position. In fact, little challenges your patience more than inefficiency, incompetence and disorder.

The "right fitting" job for you, John, might be one that provides independence, diversity, plenty of intellectual stimulation, and the opportunity to generate ideas. You must find your work challenging to be satisfying, and you are demanding of yourself and others. Since you can be impatient with those whom you consider less competent then you, you need to be surrounded by those you respect intellectually. Developers have insight into the internal logic and underlying principles of systems and organizations, and they excel at (and enjoy) strategizing, planning, and building systems to accomplish their goals.

John's Potential Weaknesses

Sometimes, John, you can be too complex for others to understand. Your intense dislike for the routine and the predictable can make it difficult for you to notice necessary details. You often fail to see your rich imagination, when left unbridled, can make you counterproductive. Also, you may rather talk about, write about, or improve the concepts of team building, goal setting, and time management, rather than actually being a part of them. Your constant drive for improving everything you come in contact with can be very frustrating for those that think everything is just fine as it is. Finally, when working on a project, it may go against your nature to consult others, but resist the temptation to disregard authority and make critical decisions on your own.
