4. For the following questions refer to Personal Style Scales on page 8 of your SII profile.

A. Look at your “Work Style” rating. What does your score suggest to you in relation to the occupations you listed above?

I prefer a balance of working alone and working with people. Teaching and translating may be too much working with people, and not enough working alone. I think that radiologic technician might be the one with the best balance in this area.

I am interested in continuing my education for another 2-4 years. This matches well with the occupations I am interested in.

Teaching doesn’t match well with this. Health care does.

Health care occupations match very well with my risk taking style. I may be comfortable taking some risks.
