HOW THE STRONG CAN HELP YOU


The Strong Interest Inventory® instrument is a powerful tool that can help you make satisfying decisions about your career
and education. Whether you are just starting out in your career, thinking about a change, or considering education options
for career preparation, you can benefit from the wealth of information reflected in your Strong results. Understanding your
Strong Profile can help you identify a career focus and begin your career planning and exploration process.
Keep in mind that the Strong measures interests, not skills or abilities, and that the results can help guide you toward
rewarding careers, work activities, education programs, and leisure activities—all based on your interests. As you review your
Profile, remember that managing your career is not a one-time decision but a series of decisions made over your lifetime.

GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL THEMES SECTION 1

The General Occupational Themes (GOTs) measure six broad interest patterns that can be used to describe your work
personality. Most people’s interests are reflected by two or three Themes, combined to form a cluster of interests. Work
activities, potential skills, and values can also be classified into these six Themes. This provides a direct link between your
interests and the career and education possibilities likely to be most meaningful to you.
Your standard scores are based on the average scores of a combined group of working adults. However, because research
shows that men and women tend to respond differently in these areas, your interest levels (Very Little, Little, Moderate,
High, Very High) were determined by comparing your scores against the average scores for your gender.

BASIC INTEREST SCALES SECTION 2

The Basic Interest Scales represent specific interest areas that often point to work activities, projects, course work, and
leisure activities that are personally motivating and rewarding. As with the General Occupational Themes, your interest
levels (Very Little, Little, Moderate, High, Very High) were determined by comparing your scores against the average scores
for your gender.
As you review your results in the charts below, note your top interest areas and your areas of least interest, and think about
how they relate to your work, educational, and leisure activities. Take time to consider any top interest areas that are not
currently part of your work or lifestyle and think about how you might be able to incorporate them into your plans.

OCCUPATIONAL SCALES SECTION 3

This section highlights your Profile results on the Occupational Scales of the Strong. On the following pages you will find
your scores for 130 occupations. The 10 occupations most closely aligned with your interests are listed in the summary
chart below. Keep in mind that the occupations listed in your Profile results are just some of the many occupations linked
to your interests that you might want to consider. They do not indicate those you “should” pursue. It is helpful to think of
each occupation as a single example of a much larger group of occupational titles to consider.
Your score on an Occupational Scale shows how similar your interests are to those of people of your gender who have been
working in, and are satisfied with, that occupation. The higher your score, the more likes and dislikes you share with those
individuals. The Theme codes associated with each occupation indicate the GOTs most commonly found among people
employed in that occupation. You can review your top occupations to see what Theme codes recur and then explore
additional occupational titles not included on the Strong that have one or more of these Theme letters in common.

YOUR TOP TEN STRONG OCCUPATIONS Occupations of


Dissimilar Interest
1. Business/Finance Supervisor (CRE)
Medical Illustrator (AIR)
2. Customer Service Representative (CR)
Reporter (A)
3. Auditor (C)
4. Buyer (EC) Physicist (IRA)

5. Credit Manager (CE) Art Teacher (AS)


6. Accountant (CRE) English Teacher (ASE)
7. Realtor (E)
8. Administrative Assistant (CSR)
9. Business Education Teacher (CES)
10. Life Insurance Agent (E)

As you read through your Occupational Scales results on this and the following pages, note the names of those occupations
for which you scored “Similar.” Those are the occupations you might want to explore first. Also consider exploring
occupations on which you scored in the midrange, since you have some likes and dislikes in common with people in those
occupations. You might also consider occupations of least interest or for which you scored “Dissimilar”; however, keep in
mind that you are likely to have little in common with people in these types of work and probably would contribute to such
occupations in a unique way. Your career professional can guide you further in the career exploration process.
Click the name of any of the occupations in your top ten list above to visit the O*NET ™ database (http://www.onetonline.org)
and see a summary description of that occupation. Learn about occupations by visiting reputable Web sites such as O*NET. You
can also find career information in a public library, in the career library of a college or university near you, or in a professional
career center or state or local government job agency. Supplement your research by talking to people who are working in the
occupations you are considering. These people can describe their day-to-day work and tell you what they like and dislike about
the occupation.

PERSONAL STYLE SCALES SECTION 4

The Personal Style Scales describe different ways of approaching people, learning, and leading, as well as your interest in
taking risks and participating in teams. Personal Style Scales help you think about your preferences for factors that can be
important in your career, enabling you to narrow your choices more effectively and examine your opportunities. Each scale
includes descriptions at both ends of the continuum, and the score indicates your preference for one style versus the other.
Your scores on the Personal Style Scales were determined by comparing your responses to those of a combined group of
working men and women.

SUMMARY OF YOUR STRONG AND MBTI® RESULTS


Your results on the Strong and MBTI tools are based on the same assumption—that you are most likely to be satisfied and
productive if you are working at something you enjoy in an environment you find compatible.
• The Strong assessment matches your interests with six types of work environments.
• The MBTI assessment describes your personality type and matches it with types of work.

YOUR SIX STRONG GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL THEMES

Your Strong Profile showed your level of interest in six General Occupational Themes. These Themes reflect broad patterns of
interest and are used to describe both people’s personalities and the environments in which they work. The Themes below are
presented in your order of interest.
• Conventional—Accounting, processing data

• Enterprising—Managing, selling

• Investigative—Researching, analyzing

• Social—Helping, instructing

• Realistic—Building, repairing

• Artistic—Creating or enjoying art

Your highest Themes are Conventional and Enterprising.


People with interests in these areas usually enjoy organizing and carrying out work tasks in support of decisions made by others.
Being close to the center of power in a results-oriented work environment is often important to them.

YOUR FOUR MBTI ® PERSONALITY PREFERENCES

Your MBTI results show these four personality preferences: ISTJ.


• Introversion (I)—Getting energy from and attuning to inner reflection on ideas and experiences

• Sensing (S)—Taking in information from the five senses and focusing on what is going on around you at the moment

• Thinking (T)—Making decisions based primarily on logic and an objective analysis of cause and effect

• Judging (J)—Being organized and decisive and wanting to have things planned and settled

People with ISTJ preferences are interested in factual information. They like to solve problems systematically, using an objective,
logical approach, and to make decisions that are based on proven facts and experience.

If you have any questions about your Strong or MBTI results, be sure to ask your career professional for clarification.
Strong and MBTI® Career Report DANIEL PLANCARTE-REYES M Page 17

interest. The Conventional Theme likely represents your strongest career motivator and the kinds of activities you find most
energizing. Structured work environments with clear roles and responsibilities will probably attract you first.
Your Strong results show that you are also quite interested in the Enterprising and Investigative Themes. You may find it
helpful to discuss with your career professional how these Themes might affect your career exploration.

Don’t be discouraged if the career field or occupation you are considering does not appear on one of your lists. Some people
are successful in careers that are not typical for their interest patterns and personality types.
• Try looking at the broader patterns represented by these occupations rather than just at the titles. You may see that
certain skill clusters or interest areas emerge.
• You might want to speak with a career professional to explore the unique perspective you could bring to your work,
or to head off any stress that might arise as a result of your career choice.

ACTION STEPS
As you consider the occupations suggested by your Strong and MBTI results, think about how each one fits with
your interests and personality. Ask yourself:
• Will this career allow me to follow projects through to completion?

• Does the employer have a promising future that will provide the opportunity for seniority and security?

• Will I be appreciated for my accuracy and careful attention to detail?

Consider the patterns and trends that emerged from your occupational lists, or think about how the occupations
might differ.
• Are there any skills that are common to almost all of the occupations?

• Can you narrow your choices to those that best fit your personality and current interests?
Strong and MBTI® Career Report DANIEL PLANCARTE-REYES M Page 22

CAREER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES


People take the Strong and MBTI assessments for many different reasons.
• Some are looking for a good match to start their career.
• Some are considering a career change.
• Some are looking for ways to make their current job more interesting.
• Some are trying to bring more balance into their life.

The activities that follow will help you use your Strong and MBTI results to make effective decisions in managing your career.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GOOD MATCH TO START YOUR CAREER?


Students and people who are entering the job market for the first time often take the Strong inventory and the MBTI
assessment to guide them in a career direction that will be interesting and fulfilling. If this is true for you, be sure to
consider entry positions that are a good fit for your Strong Theme and MBTI preferences. For each career direction you are
considering, ask yourself:

Is this a stable environment that focuses on the correct application of policies and procedures?
Is this an environment in which accuracy and efficient bottom-line results are consistently rewarded?
Will I be required to focus on ideas and possibilities, or to change the way things are done more than I like?

If you answered “yes” to the first two questions, you are probably considering a career or occupation that is a good fit for
your ISTJ preferences.
The third question is a heads-up: Work often includes tasks that are not very appealing. But it is important that such tasks
don’t take up the majority of your work time.
You will also want your first career position to be a good match for your interests in the Strong Conventional Theme.

Is this work environment more practical and orderly than change oriented and creative?
Would I spend more time collecting and managing data than generating original ideas and solving abstract problems?
Would this job allow me to be systematic, orderly, and practical?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, try to find a work environment that is a closer fit with your Conventional Theme.
Strong and MBTI® Career Report DANIEL PLANCARTE-REYES M Page 23

ARE YOU CONSIDERING A CAREER CHANGE?


People who take the Strong inventory or the MBTI assessment often do so because they feel some degree of career
dissatisfaction. If this is true for you, it may be that your work is not a good fit for your MBTI type. Check the following
statements that apply to you.

I work in an environment that is unpredictable and inconsistent, or that requires me to consider what may be in the best
interest of others but isn’t necessarily the most practical.
I work in an environment where cooperation and collaboration are rewarded more than accuracy and efficiency.
I am required to focus on new ideas and possibilities for people rather than on the correct application of policies and
procedures.

If you checked any of these statements, you probably would be more satisfied in a career that allows you to focus on facts,
logic, and tangible results.
It is also possible that you are working in an environment that is not a good match for your interests in the Conventional
Theme. Check the following statements that apply to you.

I work in an environment that is more change oriented and creative than practical and orderly.
I spend more time solving abstract problems than collecting and managing data.
My job doesn’t allow me to be systematic, orderly, and practical.

If you checked any of the six statements above, consider talking with a career professional about ways to incorporate more
of your MBTI preferences into your work or about finding a work environment that is a closer fit with the Strong Theme
you find most appealing.
Strong and MBTI® Career Report DANIEL PLANCARTE-REYES M Page 24

DO YOU LIKE MOST OF WHAT YOU DO AT WORK BUT


SOMETIMES WISH YOUR JOB COULD BE MORE INTERESTING?
As people mature and acquire work experience, it is quite common for them to begin to find appealing work tasks that are
not typical for their personality type. If this is true for you, you might want to consider:
• Learning about theories of organizational development and change
• Approaching the way things are usually done differently
• Thinking about how the information you have collected over the years might empower others to grow and develop

It may also be that particular characteristics of Themes other than Conventional appeal to you more than they used to.
Consider your secondary Enterprising Theme first, and then the others:

Enterprising—Persuading, selling, debating ideas, leading; working in an environment that is business oriented,
entrepreneurial, and fast paced
Investigative—Analyzing, solving problems, designing; working in an environment that is research oriented, scientific,
and scholarly
Social—Helping others, developing relationships, teaching; working in an environment that is collaborative, supportive,
and cooperative
Realistic—Building, repairing, using tools; working in an environment that is product driven, structured, and
hands-on
Artistic—Creating, composing, writing, performing, designing, conceptualizing; working in an environment that is
self-expressive, unstructured, and flexible

Highlight any portions of the above statements that seem interesting to you, and consider how to use these interests to
enrich the work you are already doing.
Strong and MBTI® Career Report DANIEL PLANCARTE-REYES M Page 25

WOULD YOU LIKE MORE BALANCE BETWEEN WORK AND OTHER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE?
Although very important and the major focus of this report, work is only one part of who we are. ISTJ types often find
a great deal of satisfaction in the following:
• Taking classes in money management, investing, and home improvement
• Watching or participating in athletic events
• Collecting things
• Volunteering for organizations that benefit the community
• Taking on leadership roles in their professional associations or religious/spiritual groups

The Strong Basic Interest Scales also suggest areas that might be interesting to explore outside of work. Consider your five
highest BISs and how you could activate them in leisure and volunteer activities, or by continuing your education.

Sales—Helping with community and service club fund-raising events; mentoring a high school student who is interested
in sales; investing in real estate; traveling for business; entertaining clients; reading and watching television programs
about successful businesspeople; taking classes in management, communication, or sales techniques
Office Management—Volunteering with civic organizations; serving as secretary of your professional association; setting
up systems for managing information; browsing in office supply stores; reading books and watching television programs
about managing and organizing spaces and things; taking classes in business education, time management, or computers
Taxes & Accounting—Managing your family’s finances; serving as treasurer of your professional association; doing the
taxes for a volunteer organization; collecting coins; tracking statistics; listening to or watching money management and
business programs; taking classes in accounting and economics; learning tax and accounting software
Management—Volunteering to serve on a nonprofit council, governing board, or chamber of commerce; working with
Junior Achievement programs; attending or conducting leadership training seminars; reading books about management;
attending programs about various management strategies and techniques; taking classes in business or economics
Human Resources & Training—Attending or conducting leadership training programs; giving presentations at professional
association conferences; leading team-building groups; mentoring a high school or college student; reading about
organizational development; taking classes in adult development, communication, or personnel theory and practice

If any of these suggestions appeal to you, consider exploring how you might use them to enrich your life and enjoy new
activities during your leisure time.

SUCCESSFUL CAREER EXPLORATION AND CHANGE


Everyone approaches career exploration and change differently. Your score on the Strong Risk Taking Personal Style Scale
and your MBTI type may help you understand your unique approach.

RISK TAKING + THINKING–FEELING AND JUDGING–PERCEIVING

Your Strong Risk Taking score and your MBTI preference for Thinking and Judging suggest that:
• You are somewhat comfortable taking risks
• You wonder whether exploring new career possibilities or immediate challenges is the logical thing to do at this time
• You will want to thoroughly organize all the information available to you and think through the logical consequences of
your alternatives
• If you are considering a new direction, you will need to make sure it is consistent with your goals

STAYING MOTIVATED

Your Conventional Theme suggests that there may be times when the career exploration process seems ambiguous to you.
It may require you to think more abstractly than you like. To keep yourself motivated,
• Try to structure specific tasks to do each day, and keep a record of what you accomplish
• Use Web sites and computerized career information programs to compare and contrast the requirements of various
occupations; make a chart of the results and talk them over with a career specialist
• Ask a career counselor to help you with risk taking when the time comes to make your decision
Be sure to capitalize on your ISTJ strengths to help you get past any roadblocks that get in your way:
• Use your Introversion to reflect on each step and to take time to reenergize by being alone, especially after a lot of people
contact. But don’t overlook the importance of networking and fine-tuning interviewing skills, even though it may take extra effort.
• Use your Sensing to collect all the necessary facts about each of your career alternatives; find out what is required in each.
But be sure to be open to possibilities that you might not have considered before, too.
• Use your Thinking to objectively examine the logical consequences of each of your career alternatives. But don’t forget to
pay attention to how well the job matches your personal values—how you feel about each alternative, or how others might
be affected by your decision.
• Use your Judging to structure your activities, set goals, and establish timelines. But also try to stay open to any new
opportunities that may develop along the way.

NEXT STEPS
Career tools such as the Strong and MBTI assessments can’t answer all your career questions by themselves. They are meant
to serve as a starting point in your exploration. You may find the following suggestions helpful:

highlighted.
• Review your Strong Profile and your original MBTI results. What did you highlight there?

• Visit your library or university career center and read about suggested occupations in the Occupational Outlook
Handbook or other references available there.
• Find people who are familiar with the occupations that interest you. Conduct informational interviews with them,
keeping your MBTI type preferences and Strong results in mind as you explore your options.

You may also find these Strong and MBTI interpretation booklets helpful:
• Where Do I Go Next? explains Strong-related interests, values, skills, and motivators, and the role they play in career
decision making.
• Introduction to Type® and Careers presents career fields and occupations that attract persons who share your MBTI type.

The final step of your career exploration will be to look for job openings in the occupations that are on your list and to
begin the application process. Check in with your career professional or job seekers group often to make sure you stay
motivated and on target. Good luck as your career continues to unfold and develop!
