Introduction ___________________________________________________________________________Best Jobs for Each Personality Type with a High Percentage of
Women and of Men
For each personality type, you can see the jobs that have the highest percentage of workers
who are women and workers who are men. In addition, each of the lists is re-sorted to show
these predominantly-male or predominantly-female jobs ordered by their overall ranking
on earnings, growth, and openings.! at would make up 24 lists, but one personality type
(Social) has no jobs with a high percentage of men, so this section includes 22 lists.The Best Jobs for Each Personality Type Sorted by Education or
Training Required
When considering a career choice, many people put a lot of emphasis on how long it takes to
prepare for the job and what kind of preparation is appropriate—education, training, work
experience. Just as it’s important to choose a job that suits your personality, it can be helpful
to choose learning goals that suit your preferences and abilities. Your fi nancial circumstances
also may shape your plans for career preparation because higher education can be expensive
(even with fi nancial aid) and the years you spend in college will postpone the years in which
you will earn a salary.! is set of lists sorts the jobs linked to each personality type into
groups according to what preparation method is the fastest route to career entry. Within
each group, the jobs are sorted by their overall ranking on earnings, growth, and openings.Part IV. Descriptions of the 50 Best Jobs for Each
Personality Type
! is part of the book provides a brief but information-packed description of each of the 283
best jobs that met our criteria for this book. As noted earlier in this introduction, the jobs
here are the O*NET equivalents of the SOC jobs named in the lists, so there are actually
326 job descriptions.! e descriptions are divided into six groups, one for each personality
type, and are presented in alphabetical order within each group.! is structure makes it easy
to look up a job that you’ve identifi ed in a list from Part II or Part III and that you want to
learn more about.Note that 17 of the jobs on the Artistic lists in Part III actually have a diff erent RIASEC
type as their dominant personality type, as explained earlier in this introduction. Public
Relations Managers is one such job; its dominant RIASEC type is actually Enterprising, but
it also appears on Artistic lists in Part III. If you should look it up in the Artistic section
of Part IV, you will fi nd a note there telling you to look for Public Relations Managers in
the Enterprising section of Part IV instead. Several jobs on the lists are related to multiple
O*NET jobs, so we also provide notes to refer you to these jobs. For example, if you should
turn to the Conventional section of Part IV to look up Surveying and Mapping Technicians
(which appears on the Conventional lists), you will fi nd a note there directing you to
the descriptions of the related O*NET jobs: Mapping Technicians (Conventional) and
Surveying Technicians (Realistic).
