Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type by Paul D. Tieger
I liked this book, but I wish the authors had made it apparent that the 4 letter personality type and the 2 letter strengths should be recorded for referencing in later chapters. I was familiar with the personality types, but not with using the 2 letter part or with identifying the order of strengths and developing the third and fourth ones. By the time I realized I needed the 2 letter part, I was already confused and had to go back to figure out what letters I needed. I don't think I ever show more really grasped most of that information. show less
I'll revisit this again for my next career crisis.

If you know anything about your meyers-briggs score, don’t fool yourself into thinking this will help you find a next career. It will instead tell you what you already know and then list jobs that sound like they would fit a type. No research seems to show more have done on this one. Nice con. You got me. show less

Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type by Paul D. Tieger
This book wasn't quite what I expected, but it helped me think through some issues about where I am in my career(s) and the options before me. For instance, I keep wondering "why am I suddenly interested in creative writing after so many years of not?" It suggests a reason and it makes sense. It's still up to me to decide what to do with it - career change or hobby? But that's OK.
The book looks large and daunting, but I finished it in basically half a weekend. The cover is bright and show more friendly and the insides are easy to read. And since there are 16 different personality types explored, and you don't have to read about all of them (once you've pinned yours down), there are quite a few pages that are skippable.
A suggestion: go online and find a "personality test" or two and take it (them). That way you'll have a better idea about your personality preferences when you get to that section of the book. show less
