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.

SECTION 1

GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL THEMES

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

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

OCCUPATIONAL SCALES

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.

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

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

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.

USING YOUR PERSONAL STYLE SCALES

Next, use your Personal Style Scales to identify the speciﬁc ways you prefer to approach whatever academic courses, majors,

or jobs you undertake.

PREFERENCES/ACTIVITIES

PERSONAL STYLE SCALE

• Your score suggests a preference for working closely or frequently with people rather than working

alone.

• You may prefer academic activities that focus on interpersonal interactions, such as study groups,

group assignments, and helping others, rather than studying and researching on your own.

Work Style

• Your score suggests you enjoy the traditional student role and learning for the sake of learning.

• You may prefer classroom lectures, theoretical readings, and library research to practical

hands-on training or work-study programs.

Learning Environment

• Your score suggests a preference for developing personal expertise to do a job well yourself rather

than directing others to do it.

• You may prefer to serve as an active, contributing member of a group, committee, or class rather than

as the president, chairperson, or teacher.

Leadership Style

• Your score suggests a preference for careful consideration before acting or deciding.

• You may prefer academic work that involves research, reading, and “how-to” workshops rather than

assignments that require approaching new things spontaneously or quickly.

Risk Taking

• Your score suggests a preference for team-based activities and for collaborating with others to solve

problems.

• You may enjoy group projects, interactive seminars, and getting involved in campus groups and

committees.

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.

• Social—Helping, instructing

• Artistic—Creating or enjoying art

Your highest Themes are Social and Artistic.

People with interests in these areas usually enjoy close, personal connections with others. Using their creativity to make a

difference in people’s lives is often important to them.

• Enterprising—Managing, selling

• Conventional—Accounting, processing data

• Investigative—Researching, analyzing

• Realistic—Building, repairing

YOUR FOUR MBTI

PERSONALITY PREFERENCES

You veriﬁed your MBTI personality preferences as follows: ENFP.

• Extraversion (E)—Getting energy from and attuning to the outer world of people and activity

• Intuition (N)—Taking in information from patterns and the big picture and focusing on future possibilities

• Feeling (F)—Making decisions based primarily on values and subjective consideration of person-centered concerns

• Perceiving (P)—Being ﬂexible and spontaneous and wanting to keep your options open

People with ENFP preferences like to use their creativity to help others reach their goals and realize their dreams. They enjoy solving

problems using a person-centered approach, considering what is most valued by themselves and others.

If you have any questions about your Strong or MBTI results, be sure to ask your career professional for clariﬁcation.

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 explore new ideas and possibilities that will help me and others develop?

• Will I have the opportunity to work with a cooperative, supportive group of people who are committed to helping,

nurturing, and caring for others?

• Will I be appreciated for my ability to motivate others?

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?

CAREER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

PeopletaketheStrong and MBTI assessments for many different reasons.

• 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 cooperative environment that is open to new ideas focusing on people’s best interests?

Is this an environment in which interacting with people and motivating others are rewarded?

Will I be required to focus on precise facts and details, or to spend more time on bottom-line practicality 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ENFP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.

Is this work environment more collaborative and supportive than competitive and product driven?

Would I spend more time helping and empowering people than producing tangible results?

Would this job allow me to focus on building relationships and creating community?

You will also want your ﬁrst career position to be a good match for your interests in the Strong Social Theme.

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, try to ﬁnd a work environment that is a closer ﬁt with your Social Theme.

Strong and MBTI

Career Report

HANNAH SAMPLE F 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.

If you checked any of these statements, you probably would be more satisﬁed in a career that allows you to focus on the big

picture and to deal directly with possibilities for people.

I work in an environment that is slow to accept new ideas or that requires me to do things that may be efﬁcient but are not

necessarily in the best interest of others.

I work in an environment where precision and accuracy are rewarded more than cooperating with others to achieve

common goals.

I am required to focus on facts and details, or to spend too much time on bottom-line practicality.

It is also possible that you are working in an environment that is not a good match for your interests in the Social Theme.

Check the following statements that apply to you.

I work in an environment that is more competitive and product driven than collaborative and supportive.

I spend more time producing tangible results than helping and empowering people.

My job doesn’t allow me to focus on building relationships and community.

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.

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:

• Doingresearchorcollectingdatathatwillcontributetoyourvision

• Measuringtheimpactonpeopleofprogramsandpoliciesthatareimportanttoyou

• Writingproposalsorapplyingforgrantsthatwillsupportwhatyoubelievein

It may also be that particular characteristics of Themes other than Social appeal to you more than they used to. Consider

your secondary Artistic Theme ﬁrst, and then the others:

Artistic—Creating, composing, writing, performing, designing, conceptualizing; working in an environment that is

self-expressive, unstructured, and ﬂexible

Enterprising—Persuading, selling, debating ideas, leading; working in an environment that is business oriented,

entrepreneurial, and fast paced

Conventional—Organizing, managing information, planning events; working in an environment that is structured,

hierarchical, and predictable

Investigative—Analyzing, solving problems, designing; working in an environment that is research oriented, scientiﬁc,

and scholarly

Realistic—Building, repairing, using tools; working in an environment that is product driven, structured, and

hands-on

• Performingmusicandacting

• Socializingwithfriendsandfamily

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.

Counseling & Helping—Volunteering at a counseling and/or crisis center; stafﬁng a suicide prevention hotline; helping

out in a special education classroom; reading self-help books; watching television talk shows; taking classes in

psychology or counseling

Teaching & Education—Helping out in your children’s schools; tutoring; serving on your board of education; leading a

scout troop; volunteering to read to children at a preschool or library; learning sign language; reading about how people

learn; watching educational television; taking classes in human development and the social sciences

Social Sciences—Being a teaching assistant in a college or university; experiencing and studying different cultures;

volunteering at a local historic site or museum; reading about changes in society; taking classes in sociology, psychology,

or anthropology

Writing & Mass Communication—Writing a blog, book reviews, or letters to the editor; being on a radio or television

panel or Webcast; keeping a journal; reading; teaching reading to adults; going to the library; learning a new language;

taking classes in literature or journalism

Law—Debating public policy; serving on a jury; working on civic improvement programs; volunteering for a legal aid group;

reading books about law and politics; studying international systems of government; watching television programs about

crime and the legal system; learning about negotiation, business, or political science

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 Feeling and Perceiving suggest that:

• You are not very comfortable taking risks

• Long-term security in your job is probably as important to you as enjoying what you do

• Your commitments to coworkers or others who are important to you may make it difﬁcult for you to consider making a

big change

• Any change you make will have to be congruent with your strongly held values

STAYING MOTIVATED

Your Social Theme suggests that there may be times when the career exploration process seems too impersonal to you.

It may require you to be more objective and reﬂective than you like. To keep yourself motivated,

• Try to ﬁnd a group of people with whom you can network, who can provide support and direction; ﬁnd new social media

sites for posting your proﬁle

• Talk to as many people as possible who work in occupations related to your interests, and share your feelings about careers

with family and friends

• Ask your friends for objective feedback, so that you don’t get sidetracked by the needs of others when you make your

career decision

Be sure to capitalize on your ENFP strengths to help you get past any roadblocks that get in your way:

• Use your Extraversion to discuss each stage of the career exploration process, move to action, network, and ﬁne-tune your

interviewing skills. But don’t overlook the importance of reﬂecting on each step you take.

• Use your Intuition to explore new opportunities that arise during your career search. But be sure to collect all the necessary

facts about your alternatives and ﬁnd out how others have managed this process, too.

• Use your Feeling to determine how well a job matches your personal values—how you feel about each alternative, or

how others might be affected by your decision. But don’t forget to objectively examine the logical consequences of each

alternative as well.

• Use your Perceiving to stay open to new possibilities that may develop along the way. But be careful to structure your

activities, set goals, and establish timelines to stay focused, even though it may take extra effort to do it.
