Your Career Change In Color

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 @ 12:00 am | Tips, Tools

Would you base a career change decision on a set of color preferences? A friend of mine shared the Dewey Color System test with me and I was so impressed I just had to share it with you. This test suggests the careers that you are best suited for based on a series of color preferences that you make. Now I know this may sound a little crazy but it is a real test and it really worked.

Like you I was very skeptical that what seemed to be a childlike game could reveal personality traits and help you see which types of positions you would be best predisposed to do. Well funny enough it seemed to have worked for me. According to the Dewey Color System (not to be confused with the decimal system with the same first name) I am a:

CREATOR
Key Words: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional
These original types place a high value on aesthetic qualities and have a great need for self-expression. They enjoy working independently, being creative, using their imagination, and constantly learning something new. Fields of interest are art, drama, music, and writing or places where they can express, assemble, or implement creative ideas.

2nd BEST OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORY
You’re a PERSUADER

Key Words: Witty, Competitive, Sociable, Talkative, Ambitious, Argumentative, and Aggressive
These enterprising types sell, persuade, and lead others. Positions of leadership, power, and status are usually their ultimate goal. Persuasive people like to take financial and interpersonal risks and to participate in competitive activities. They enjoy working with others inside organizations to accomplish goals and achieve economic success.

I think I am a combination of the Creator and Persuader. But don’t take my word for it. Take the test yourself and you may discover a new colorful career. Just click this link. Then select the color you like best and you are on your way.
