Understanding Your Lowest Interest Scores

Scores below 30 are considered "low scores" and are just as important as high scores. Low scores do not necessarily mean you lack skill in these areas; rather they indicate a lack of interest or dislike for certain activities. You will be happier if you avoid professions that require you to perform tasks for which you have little interest. Understanding what jobs to avoid can save you time and prevent costly career or educational mistakes.

Your lowest interest score was on Clerical. You're not likely to be fulfilled doing routine office work that involves filing, record-keeping, word processing, operating office machines, attending to details, and other repetitive office tasks. You also showed low interest in Assertive, so you wouldn't be fulfilled working in situations where you were frequently required to assert authority over others, and to direct and monitor their work. Your low score on Systematic means that you dislike routine assignments in which order and persistent, steady effort are required. Job security is not so important to you. Plus, you can tolerate frequent schedule changes and situations in which you must make quick decisions.

How many years are you wanting to go to school? That makes a huge difference in what you can train to do.

If you're considering teaching, TALK TO ME or somebody else you know who teaches. It's not what a lot of people think it is.

I wish you the best in your decision. God will lead you in the right path.
