Summer Slininger's Five Assessments

Summer Slininger After taking the five assessments within Focus 2, I learned a lot about myself. Within the work interest assessment, I scored the work interest Holland code of SIE. SIE stands for social, investigative, and enterprising. The social aspect is identified as “the helpers,” the investigative aspect is identified as “the thinkers,” and the enterprising aspect is identified as “the persuaders.” I was not aware that I excelled in these three aspects of my life.

My values are something that affect my daily life and are something that I hold close to my heart. The three values that I received on the value assessment are helping others, income, and influence. My skills assessment told me that I am proficient in helping, reading comprehensions, and reasoning. These three skills are something that I enjoy and have done a good job at my whole life. I can definitely see how these skills will assist with finding the right career
I like how I would be able to either study the brain or help patients who are dealing with mental health issues. I would also be able to run my own studies on the brain and I would love to be able to do that. Somethings that I could see myself disliking about this career and major choice would be having to talk with people who are going through hard times. It would be hard not to let myself get upset with patients, or even get extremely upset when I am not able to help someone. Another thing that I would not find ideal is that the income for a psychologist is around 60,000. This is a great income, but it is not so great when I would have to attend graduate school to become a psychologist. There would be a lot of schooling involved for not a lot of monetary
