I took the Focus 2 Assessment for this final blog post. There were a lot of survey-like questions, separated into categories to try to get a better view of what a person might want to focus their career path on, like their personality or their skills. It followed a pretty standard format of rating an action or statement by how much you agree or disagree with the statements, much like other career assessments I’ve seen. Comparing my survey results, there seemed to be a lot of discrepancies in the outcomes. The end results of each small part of the survey pointed towards different types of careers, so I tried to use the combine assessments feature, where it tried to mash together the results of two or more of the separate smaller assessments into one overall result. That didn’t work out so well. There was almost no overlap between categories at all. In all honesty it was disheartening, but it gives me some nice information to work with. I think the takeaway is mainly that of the five surveyed topics, none of my results match up with each other. My personality doesn’t match my work interests; my skills don’t reflect my values, etc. A good way to resolve this might be to just add to myself, like learning more skills and developing different work interests. The majors that kept popping up that the site claimed would fit well with their recommended careers were biology, and business administration and management. This gives me more to consider for that major that I haven’t chosen yet, which is helpful and appreciated.
