Career Test & Uni Action Plan

We were instructed to take a career test by our PDP lecturer. As most of us are still confused regarding our future and what we would like to do for a living, the test is useful and interesting for us.
Check out link : http://www.career-test.co.uk/

Here's my result :
Extraverted (E) 54%Introverted (I) 46%
Sensing (S) 77%Intuitive (N) 23%
Thinking (T) 50%Feeling (F) 50%
Judging (J) 64%Perceiving (P) 36%

I belong to the ESTJ category, which the website labels as Guardians and Overseers.

Career relevant traits:
• Dependable hard workers 
• Thorough, honest and loyal
• Natural leaders which like to be in charge
• Strong organisational skills
• Will follow projects through to completion 
• Driven to fulfil their duties
• Like creating structure and order


I found that the outcome of the test is quite accurate, as the results truly defined my personality.
I have good leadership skill as I mentioned in my previous post (SWOT Analysis), and I enjoy creating order and structures. Besides, I always see everything in terms of concrete needs and facts before I believe or fall in love with it. As example, I perform experiment in the lab to prove that the hypothesis is true, before I agreeing with it. It does say that ESTJ people will scan the personal environment to check that everything is running smoothly and systematically, which I find applies to me as well.  I enjoy fast pace no matter what am I doing, but I always know how things should be done and organize them well. Therefore I guess I have an ability to quickly step in and take a commanding role of the situation. 

These are the possible career paths for the ESTJ : 

• Nursing administrators 
• Military leaders 
• Business Administrators and Managers 
• Police or Detective 
• Judges 
• Insurance agents or underwriters
• Financial Officers 
• Trade and technical teachers
• Teachers 
• Sales Representatives
• Government workers 

Although the outcome of the test do apply me well, but I haven't consider any of the paths above yet. My ambition was to be a Bio Medical Scientist, as I have a strong passionate towards Biology since I entered Science stream during high school. But after taking the career test, I do start considering some of the career options above, so that I would be successful on my path and have a brighter future.
