Focus2 Test

For the career development post, I decided to take the Focus2 Career Interest Test, where it prompted me with a series of activities or attributions associated with major areas of careers. I was tasked with rating these interests out of five stars based on my general interest or drive related to those topics. After taking the test, I was given the code EIS, which stands for Entrepreneurial, Investigative, and Social; entrepreneurial having to do with business ventures and related activities, Investigative has to do with everything that goes into investigating a topic, research, and conduct things like interviews, and Social involves interests in helping people more in person, as well as having a heavy emphasis in interacting with individuals. Entrepreneurial was where I scored the highest at 64, Investigative coming in at 62, and Social scoring at 44. The entrepreneurial sector did not come as a surprise to me as I have always been interested in such activities and the atmosphere surrounding the business world. I found it interesting that my Investigative score had been so close to my entrepreneurial score however, as I have never been one to be very excited at the thought of conducting extensive research on a topic. While I have had an interest in figuring out the cause and effects of certain real world events, I was still surprised by how close the two interest scores were. Social I felt was a bit of a surprise as I have never really done much volunteer work or any work in which it requires much personal interaction to help people. Overall I felt that the test was helpful in identifying what career interests are similar to my general interests. The questions however I felt could have been presented in a slightly more complex and in-depth way, rather than just a five-star rating system for general interest phrases.
