Choosing the "Fit" between One's Typology, the Requirements of a Job and the Characteristics of an Organization

This application is designed to translate the individual's personality information to the workworld. The first general task of the workbook is to explore the implications of one's personality and identify the characteristics of desired work. Would these characteristics challenge the individual and promote further development or, for example, would they essentially parallel the individual's personality profile?

Armed with sound knowledge of his or her Typology, the individual examines several jobs and decides if they do or do not meet the characteristics that have been specified.

The third area involves the relationship between a particular job and the culture of the organization in which the job exists. Here the question is, "do you want to work in an organizational culture that is similar to the way your personality functions or do you want the organizational culture surrounding your job to challenge you to further develop?" (16pp.)
