Define your skills

On your printed copy of the Personality Style Profile, note the section labeled "Skills." This is where you will list your strongest work-related skills - tasks that you are most capable of performing (either currently or with additional schooling or training) in a work situation.

To help you identify your work-related skills, you will review two websites that each contain a list of common work-related skills:

O*NET Online Skills Search

iseek Skills Assessment

Print a copy of this page and check off [Ö] each step as it is completed.

Directions:

1. [ ] Visit the two websites listed above.  At each website, review the list of skills presented.  Identify those skills that you believe are your strongest skills (or those that you wish to develop in the near future).  List your choices on a separate sheet of paper.

Note: These two websites also identify occupations related to each skill presented.  At this point in the program, it is not necessary that you identify occupations related to your skills.  This will be accomplished later in the program.

2. [ ] After you have reviewed both lists of skills above, select up to six skills that you believe are your best skills (or skills that you would like to develop in the future) and list them (one per line) on your Personality Style Profile, under the Skills section. Do not list any skills that you would not be willing to use in a work situation.  Do NOT list job titles!

3. [ ] If you are aware of any work-related skills that were not identified from the use of the above two websites, then consider listing them on your Personality Style Profile. List only your strongest skills and no more than 6 skills.

After completing all steps above, please move on to defining your values.
