I enjoy working with my hands and working outdoors. I tend to enjoy athletics and have mechanical abilities. Working in an environment with things and machines appeals to me.
 
I am inquisitive and like figuring things out. I tend to be analytical and rather independent. Working on my own appeals to me.

 

I am imaginative and creative. I  like new and different ways of doing things. Too much order and structure seems confining. Expressing myself through writing, music, and or dance appeals to me.
 
I am helpful and understanding. I tend to like interacting with others and being part of a team. Working in an environment with things and machines, and not with other people doesn't appeal to me very much.

 

I am persuasive, confident and driven. I tend to like being the leader and taking risks. I enjoy competition and taking on responsibility. I am often described as outgoing.
 
I am detail oriented, organized and efficient. I tend to like the tried and true and don't care much for taking risks. I like order and structure.
