others. They are typically good at developing rapport with others, although they may overwhelm some
with their aggressive drive. They are typically competitive, goal-oriented, and ambitious.
Persuaders like their work best when they can chase exciting goals, promote new ideas, and close
important deals. As a Persuader, your primary career goal will be to find a job where you can take the
lead to start and carry out initiatives, act quickly and decisively to set a course, and use your charisma to
influence others.

Careers to Explore
In this section, we'll show you the top careers that match your interest profile. There are a few things to
keep in mind as you read over these career suggestions:
1. These career titles are just a starting point. The careers listed here are among the most commonly
found in the labor market and are careers that many people will recognize, like lawyer or physician.
However, many people have jobs that don't exactly fit any of the descriptions listed here. You might end
up with a job that combines several of these typical roles. You might have a job that's specific to one
company or industry. Or you might invent a new career altogether! In short, do not limit your
imagination to the jobs listed here. These are a representative sample of jobs that fit your personality,
but they do not cover every possibility or opportunity that you will come across in your career path.
2. Your individuality is key. The careers in this section are listed generally by how well they fit your
interest profile. However, you should not assume that the first career on the list is the best career for
you, that the second career listed is the second-best, and so on. You may find careers that spark your
interest anywhere on this list. You may also see several careers that do not interest you at all. This is
normal and does not mean that your results are not accurate! Everyone is unique, and even someone

3. Ultimately, the choice is yours. Because no assessment can tell you exactly which career will be
perfect for you, the best way to think of this list is as a starting point for your career research. You can
use this list to get ideas of careers that may suit you, but you'll still need to read more about each career
that interests you, do real-world research (like interviewing or shadowing people in the field), and
evaluate each career according to your own personal criteria. We'll discuss this in more detail later in
your report, but for now, just read over this list with an open mind. See if any career ideas stand out as
particularly interesting, and which seem worthy of further inspection.

Now that you’ve reviewed some possible careers, you may be wondering where to go next. Perhaps your
list of suggested careers seems overwhelming and confusing. Perhaps you saw some career ideas that
sounded interesting, but you’re not sure how to proceed, or how to decide which is really best for you.
This section is designed to give you a roadmap that you can use to navigate forward as you explore your
career possibilities.
As you continue in your career search, it will be crucial that you have a system for evaluating your
opportunities. You need a well-defined approach to looking at various careers and deciding whether
they are worth further exploration. You’ve already taken the first step by assessing your interests, but
now the task is to take that self-knowledge and translate it into a game plan for exploring your career
options.
The first step is to clearly understand your criteria for the career path you seek. You don’t need to know
exactly which career is right for you, but you do need to know what you are looking for. You must
understand the factors which are more important to your happiness and satisfaction in a career.
Equally, you must understand the aspects of a career that you want to avoid, so that you don’t end up in
a job that frequently requires you to do things that are not a good fit.
This section will suggest some criteria that you may want to use as part of your career exploration
process. These are based on your interest profile, but you will probably find that some of the suggested
criteria seem more relevant to you than others. You may also find that you want to add to what is given
here. Use these suggestions as a starting point to build your own system of evaluating possible careers.
Below, you will see a list of the factors that are most likely to be important to you in a career. Generally,
if a career has all or most of these factors, you will find the day-to-day work satisfying. As you explore
different careers, you can use this list as a sort of checklist for each potential career. The more closely a
career seems to fit your list of core needs, the more likely you'll be happy with it in the long term.
For each career you're considering, take stock of the typical daily activities and make sure that you will
not have to spend significant time on tasks you don't enjoy. Although nobody has a job that they love all
the time, it is important to avoid career paths that require a lot of time spent on activities that you
simply aren't suited to.
Tasks to Avoid:
But it’s also important that you ask questions that are personal to you and your interests. These
questions will help you dial in to the careers that will suit your personality. Here, we suggest some
questions that you may want to ask about each career you are seriously considering.
You might answer these questions by doing research online, in books, magazines, or trade journals, or
by interviewing people in the field. You may find that the answers to some questions are not a clear
“yes” or “no,” and that’s fine. The goal is not to get black-and-white answers to every question, but to
gain a better and more complete understanding of whether a career is a good fit for you.
Although choosing a career isn't an easy process, it can be an incredibly rewarding one when done right.
By doing an objective assessment of who you are and what you are suited to, you've already gotten off
to a huge head start.
You've digested a lot of information, so take a while to sit with it. When you're ready, come back to your
list of careers and pick out the ones that sound most appealing. Click on the "Read more" link next to
each of these careers to learn more about them. Use this as a jumping-off point to begin your own
research.
You have plenty of work ahead of you to find your ideal career, but you should now feel well prepared to
get started. We wish you the best of luck in your search!
