13. Birkman test

14. 1st Career: Carpenter
• A Carpenter builds things with physical manual labor.
Carpenters require precise detailed work and strenuous
manual labor. Carpenters build things with raw materials
such as metals, drywall, and wood. They build houses,
buildings, and they also repair things. The reason i
chose this career is because I enjoy manual labor and I
grew up doing carpentry around the house with my dad.

15. 2nd career: Detective
• A detective fulfills clients requests for research
and surveillance. Detectives frequently search
credit reports, birth and death records, marriage
licenses, tax filings, news reports, and legal
filings. Detective work for smaller agencies
involves a high quotient of solitude and isolation.
I feel I would enjoy this career because I like to
do solo work and I enjoy problem solving

16. 3 Career: Nuclear Engineer
rd
• nuclear engineers spend most of their time working in
large hi-tech environments. Employment in nuclear
engineering is divided equally between the Federal
Government, utilities companies, and research units.
Nuclear engineering has become increasingly important
in the development of new medical scanning
technologies. This field of work is dangerous but very
interesting. I feel I would enjoy this career because I like
to see how new things work and I can follow directions
and procedures.

17. Reflection
• These career assessments made me
research and explore new careers.

and I may not of thought about them
