In the words of Soren Kierkegaard: "The personality is only mature when a man has made the truth his own." There are many different people in the world. Everyone has a different personality that makes them unique. The 10th grade class at Presbyterian Christian School took an academic test and three personality tests to discover potential future careers. ACT Incorporated developed the PLAN to show our estimated ACT score and possible careers in which we would perform better. We also took three personality tests to find out our true personality. The KRB Consulting Company has created a test in which we evaluate ourselves based on the adjectives that best describe us. The second test we took was “The Colors of Careers,” given to us by Jones County Junior College Assistant President Gwen Magee. The final test we took was the “Jung Typology Test”. The purpose of this article is to discover the differences in our personalities and the careers that follow our certain personality. The PLAN results give us your estimated ACT score and your college readiness. My overall score was an eighteen. Even though I want to get a better score, I was above the benchmark scores for 10th grade in English and science. My readings and calculations are below baseline scores. My scores were English, seventeen; mathematics, eighteen; reading, seventeen; and science, twenty-one. Overall my estimated ACT composite score range is between nineteen and twenty-three (ACT Incorporated). The PLAN is a test that shows our potential careers. The career I chose when I took the test was healthcare. The PLAN gave me the “region 99” result, which means I can choose any career I want. With the results of the PLAN, I still want to be in the healthcare industry… in the center of the paper… being traced back to 460 BC Mary Miscisin, author of Showing Our Truth Colors, states: “Interestingly, the discernment of four groupings is a common theme that links many of the predominant theories of personality." In the 1920s Carl Jung expressed his opinion after years of research. He says there were four categories: feeling, thinking, sensation, or intuition. He says these categories were innate and the culture a person grows up in also influences personality. Don Lowry studied the various meanings associated with colors. He then carefully chose colors that resembled the characteristics they would represent. Hippocrates observed people and saw that there are four different approaches to life: phlegmatic, choleric, melancholic and sanguine. All of these have differences, but they can also be compared (1-4).
