Understanding Your Personality

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Framework is based on the work of famous analytical psychologist Carl Jung and helps to understand your preferences on four pairs of opposites such as Extraversion and Intraversion. Identifying your preferences can help you capitalise on your strengths and address potential pitfalls. 

Identifying Your Interests and Values

Our interests and values drive the type of work we enjoy and can help identify potential careers and roles you will find motivating. The most commonly applied framework is the Hexagon Model which looks at six key areas of occupational interest (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional).

Establishing Your Strengths

The Values in Action (VIA) Strengths model identifies your top strengths from 24 Character Strengths (such as leadership, creativity or perseverance). The questionnaire examines your personality and identifies the strengths which you are most likely to bring to any role. This can be helpful for career alignment and achieving your goals.
