There are many psychometric tests to help with this, though some are far more useful than others. With regards to actionable psychometrics, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I’ve never taken a psychometric test. I’ve taken a psychometric test, but I wasn’t sure what to do with the results when it came to my career. I’ve taken psychometric tests that have led to clear, actionable insights for my career that I am currently applying. In order to craft the single best career within the clear criteria discussed above, you must be keenly aware of your authentic values and have a specific ranking that can serve as a means of making decisions and evaluating options. It’s critical that these values be YOUR authentic values and not goals that have been imposed on your mind by others throughout your life. With regards to authentic values, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I don’t have any real understanding of my authentic values and tend to do what others tell me is important. I’ve got a sense of my values, but sometimes I struggle to figure out the order of importance and/or distinguish inauthentic values from authentic ones. I’ve got a clear list of values, prioritized in order of importance, and they’re all truly mine. In order to clearly discern your authentic values and separate them from the noise of external opinions, you must be able to maintain a peaceful presence that takes the static out of the internal radio. That means being aware of your internal thoughts, feelings, reactions, triggers, etc. as they are occurring. The “peaceful” part means doing so from a place of calm observation rather than getting sucked into the stress and identifying with it. With regards to peaceful presence, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I’m basically on autopilot almost all the time. I’m present some of the time, but I still find myself getting sucked into stress fairly frequently. I’m consistently acting from a place of consciousness and calm all or almost all of the time. In order to motivate yourself to work through the challenges that will inevitably arise, you must articulate a goal that is inspiring enough to be worth sacrificing for. Far too many people retreat into delusional fantasies or shut themselves down entirely when it comes to creating a big vision for where they want to go with their career. With regards to visionary realism, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I’ve never come up with anything plausible that would truly inspire me. I’ve figured out certain elements that I definitely want to be part of my dream career but don’t know how to put them together. I’ve got a specific, achievable career target that is ambitious enough to drive me to work hard for years. In order to pursue any goal, you must perceive a clear path to get there without the risk of catastrophe along the way. With regards to ironclad planning, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I have no idea what steps will actually get me where I want to go in my career. I see a potential path to my dream, but I’m not sure if it will work and/or I’m worried about the risks involved. I have a clear and sustainable path to my dream career that has safeguards against potential risk and seems eminently achievable. In order to have the confidence and commitment to throw your heart into something, you must develop the kind of unconditional self-love that gives you a powerful sense of self-worth and a feeling that you deserve to achieve your goals. With regards to unconditional self-love, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I beat myself up all the time and often see my happiness as less important than the happiness of others. I generally believe I deserve to be happy, but I do sometimes judge myself harshly and sacrifice too much of myself for others. I deserve to be here in this world and do the things that bring me joy, and I effortlessly set healthy boundaries to ensure that I can do so. In order for clients or employers to care about you, you must communicate a clear value proposition that satisfies needs that they simply cannot leave unmet. When it comes to handing over money, no one cares about your skills until they understand what you are promising them. With regards to irresistible value, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I mostly talk about process and what I do instead of focusing on my audience’s pain points and desires. I focus on my audience’s needs, but the benefits I offer are vague and commonplace in the market. I articulate a clear value proposition with specific, unique promises that address problems my audience absolutely MUST find a solution for. In order for your prospect to connect to the value you are offering, you must present that value in terms that are emotionally compelling so that they can feel the pain of the problems you’re helping them avoid and the pleasure of the benefits you are helping them achieve. With regards to compelling communication, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I mainly use dry, logical language and/or jargon that confuses my audience. I communicate with language that my audience can understand and emotionally connect to at a basic level. I weave engaging stories and potential futures in such a way that my clients can’t help but get absorbed into them and feel the full force of the emotion involved. In order to be perceived as an expert, you must present yourself in a way that clearly demonstrates that this isn’t your first rodeo. You would never trust a doctor to do surgery on you if he seemed unsure of himself or as if he was making things up on the fly. With regards to structured confidence, where would you place yourself on the scale below? I project more doubt and disorganization than confidence… I’m superficially confident, but sometimes I’m kind of winging it. I have a deep, rock-solid confidence that comes from clearly demonstrable past results and structured anticipation of almost every possible scenario.
