What’s New

YOU’RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO CLARIFY YOUR LIFE GOALS

AND ASPIRATIONS
It’s not an easy question to answer, but an important one. You can talk
about your aspirations and goals all day, but when you write them down, they
become, well, more real. It’s a starting point to living the life you want. When you
write a personal mission statement, you’re clarifying what you want to accomplish
and how, and committing to it. Businesses and non-profit organizations develop
mission statements for the same reason. (Joe Villmow, “Your Mission
Statement”.2020)

 What is It

Big Questions:
1. Does Personality Matter?
 Yes! Your personality should fit your career choice
2. What is your Personality Type? Let’s find out!
Examples of Positive Personality Traits
Some, if not most, of your personality traits are likely to be positive.
For example: Being honest and taking responsibility for your actions are admirable
qualities. Adaptability and compatibility are great traits that can help you get along
with others. Drive and determination will help you keep going no matter what.
Compassion and understanding mean you relate well to others. Patience is a virtue
and also a good personality trait. Courage will help you do what's right in tough
situations. Loyalty is a good quality to possess, making others trust you.
Here is a list of positive adjectives that can help you describe personality
traits:
Adventurous Helpful
Affable Humble
Capable Imaginative
Charming Impartial
Confident Independent
Conscientious Keen
Cultured Meticulous
Dependable Observant
Discreet Optimistic
Dutiful Persistent
Encouraging Precise
Exuberant Reliable
Fair Sociable
Fearless Trusting
Gregarious Valiant

Examples of Negative Personality Traits
What would life be without balance? Whether we like to admit it or not, some
of our personality traits are also likely to be negative: A propensity for lying, in
order to avoid responsibility for our actions, is a deplorable quality. Being rigid and
selfish, unyielding to the needs of others are not endearing qualities. Being full of
laziness and excuses is sure to drive others away, too. An inability to empathize
with others will also alienate us from others. Being quick to anger will turn people
away. Being disloyal, quick to talk about others behind their backs or, worse, stab
them in the back for personal gain also falls high on the scale of negative
personality traits.
Here is a list of negative adjectives that may describe aspects of personalities
from time to time:
Arrogant Quarrelsome
Boorish Rude
Bossy Sarcastic
Conceited Self-centered
Cowardly Slovenly
Dishonest Sneaky
Finicky Stingy
Impulsive Sullen
Lazy Surly
Malicious Thoughtless
Obnoxious Unfriendly
Picky Unruly
Pompous Vulgar
Determining Personality Types. There are many different personality types.
According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, there are sixteen different types. It's
unlikely that a person would fit into a single mold, but it is interesting to see which
"mold" we tend toward.
Your personality type can be determined by many factors. One way to
discover your personality type is to approach it scientifically. Test yourself online or
ask a psychologist or therapist to analyze you. In psychology, there are five
factors that determine different personality traits. The big five factors are:
Openness: appreciation for a variety of experiences.
Conscientiousness: planning ahead rather than being spontaneous.
Extraversion: being sociable, energetic and talkative.
Agreeableness: being kind, sympathetic and happy to help.
Neuroticism: inclined to worry or be vulnerable or temperamental.

 Aside from understanding the Clarify Your Life Goals and Aspirations and
Personal Mission Statement, another strategy is work with your career
counselor.
It’s important to understand that career choice is not made based on any
one factor. Our choices are subject to many influences – individual, cultural,
social, and environmental. The combination and interaction of various influences
on your decision-making are unique to you and your situation. There may also be
multiple options, several “good-fits” for you, instead of a single, right choice. Keep
in mind that as you change, learning and experiencing new things, and external
factors change, such as the economy, you will continue to revise and fine-tune
your career choices. There is a lot to consider, but you don’t have to figure it all
out on your own. Work with a career services counselor at your institution’s career
center. These professionals will be able to assist you with assessments and
additional resources, and discuss how different theories may be applied to your
career development process.
Personal mission statement
Most students, and adults, don’t realize the importance of writing their
personal mission statements. It’s more than just your goals. Your mission
statement will help you sort out your priorities and how you want to live your life. It
may include short-term and long-term goals, or life-long aspirations. It becomes a
guide and provides direction, which comes from you, not someone else.
Education, Career, Personal Attributes such as Honesty, Loyalty and
dedication, Family and Personal Relationships, how you want to live your life,
Sports, Faith and Spirituality and Community Service.

What’s More
