Great, quick guide November 24, 2008 Great guide that can quickly give you insightful information about yourself. It is nice because you do not have to read the entire book, just the parts that apply to you. Easy to use.
J's review November 16, 2008 The book allows you to reflect on your personality type while also focussing on secondary tendancies, which provide a well-rounded perspective. The job match information is helpful.
The best assessment I've found, and the easiest! November 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a Career Consultant for the past 14 years, I deal with assessment instruments all the time. Shoya Zichy's "Career Match" is simply the best one I've found: it's the easiest to administer and score (the questions take 10 minutes to answer), the results are unerringly correct, and all the information provided based upon the results is comprehensive and totally useful. Plus, it doesn't resort to psycho-babble, and it doesn't need "professional" interpretation, so anyone can pick it up and immediately benefit from it. Cheers to Shoya Zichy and her co-author for putting together a completely enjoyable and marvelously helpful book!
Great information November 13, 2008 This book has been very helpful to me in 3 ways... 1) understanding some of my own personality traits 2) understanding the traits of those around me, and therefore learning to navigate accordingly. 3) learning positive ways to express some traits (that could be perceived as faults) on my resume or when interviewing.
Interesting Book October 27, 2008 This was an interesting book, my color matched me pretty well. The only disappointment I had with the book, is that I expected just a little more out of it as far as the job recommendations went. The quiz was easy and fast to take. Then again I am a red/blue so this response was to be expected, or maybe just lucky I left one at all.. lol :)
