Personality Type Career Guide
by Kimani » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:22 am
Hello my name is Kimani Shorter. I have developed a theory of personality types and a career guide to go along with my theory. The theory of personality is based on Carl Jung's theory of archetypes. This is my website http://kimanishorter.tripod.com/. It is still in development. I want to see what the interest level for this is going to be.

Such charts and tests already exist, but I will check your's out to see how it differs from the ones I have used before.
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
~Arab Proverb
aes dhammo sanantano Pali: 'this is the eternal law'
The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

Thanks. The actual career guide isn't shown on the site. I have a summary of what I'm offering.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I have developed a questionnaire to figure out which type you are. I haven't put it on the site yet.

I have always found that psychological analysis is pointless without local sociological analysis.
Regardless of my career talents, the career doesn't exist within my local society.
Much like "the paranoid isn't paranoid if they really are out to get him".

None of the careers for your type exist within your community/society? It never really occurred to me that that might happen.

Did you say Carl Jung's archetypes? You mean his typology, right?

Jung's typology is what inspired the Myers Briggs Type indicator. His typology was extraversion /introversion, sensing / intuition, thinking /feeling. When you put the archetypes together they form my typology. But archetypes initially aren't really a typology.

The average person encompasses so many archetypes that it wouldn't be accurate to call them a typology. You can't classify a person based on individual archetypes. If you bring them together like I did you can. I've always thought Jung's typology was separate from his archetypes theory.

Okay, thks. I think I understand your ontological dichotomy.

Well, since you asked... (always dangerous around me)...
A more serious problem with these career guides is the following...
Let's say that your career guide detected that I would make a great physicist.
And despite reality, I happen to find an opening available to me.
And I even manage to get through the interviews and get the job (obviously fantasy at this point).
Now I have a job called "physicist".
The job theoretically involves something that I am good at doing.
I am happy, go out buy a new; car, house, wife, whatever...
But then after a few weeks, I discover to my dismay that the guy that I am working for is both jealous and somewhat of an lying ass. He is working to keep his job and doesn't really care much about anything else. Well, obviously a good diplomatic demeanor is in order. Unfortunately that wasn't on my list of talents. I lose the job for reasons that had nothing to do with being talented at physics.
So now, I go look for another opening and find none.
I go take another career test only to find that I really have no better skill than physics (or whatever).
And despite searching, I never find a career test that actually seems to include ALL of the things that I would have to be good enough at merely to keep any one job due to similar kinds of problems.
Without local social information, no career finder is worth the time to read the instructions on how to fill out the forms.
You're up.

Well yeah there is always a chance that the Designer / physicist type could have a conflict with someone that they work with. The Designer doesn't have the social skills that the other two types have.
