Detailed Description
By Laurence Shatkin, Ph.D.
By choosing a major that fits their personality, college students may improve their career satisfaction, graduation rates, and even school involvement and satisfaction, according to research. This book helps students discover their personality type and the 10 best majors that relate to it.
This completely updated edition covers nearly 50 majors total for the six personality types:
- Realistic
- Investigative
- Artistic
- Social
- Enterprising
- Conventional
A self-assessment helps readers quickly determine their personality type. Next, more than 90 "best majors" lists reveal the 10 best majors overall for each personality type plus many must-know facts and figures not found elsewhere.
Other "best majors" lists that are included for each personality type are:
- best majors ranked by potential pay and growth of their related occupations
- best majors at the bachelor's and higher degree levels
- best majors for men, for women, for part-time jobs, or for self-employment
Bonus lists reveal the best majors for introverts, extroverts, persistent people, stress-tolerant people, detail-oriented people, innovators, and analytical thinkers.
The college majors are organized by personality type and described in an easy-to-digest format with information on typical sequences of high school and college courses, specializations in the major, related Classification of Instructional Programs, full descriptions of related jobs with two- or three-level personality code, work tasks, earnings, growth, openings, verbal and math skill ratings, and other helpful details.
In a separate part, the author discusses why your personality is useful for choosing a major and gives key insights for deciding what to major in. An appendix lists all majors sorted by personality code.
