Should you be an engineer or a teacher? An artist or a technician? Understanding your personality can be extremely helpful in determining which careers will be a good fit.
There are many personality-type assessments out there, from the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator to the Winslow Personality Profile. But one that focuses specifically on connecting people to their dream jobs is the nonprofit automated guidance system Eureka.org.
“Our goal at Eureka is to help people figure out who they are,” said Sumyyah Bilal, Eureka’s director. She said that one of the most important parts of that process is discovering your “transferable skills,” which most people don’t even know they have because they aren’t the skills we learn in school; they’re skills we have developed since birth.
