129PART IV
Descriptions of the
50 Best Jobs for Each
Personality Type
T
his part provides descriptions for all the jobs included in one or more of the lists in
Part III.! e book’s introduction gives more details on how to use and interpret the job
descriptions, but here are the highlights, along with some additional information.!! e job descriptions that follow met our criteria for inclusion in this book, as we describe
in the Introduction.! e jobs in this book scored among the 50 highest in each personal-
ity type for earnings, projected growth, and number of job openings. Many good jobs do
not meet one or more of these criteria, but we think the jobs that do are the best ones to
consider in your career planning.
!! e job descriptions are arranged by personality type and in alphabetical order by job
title within each personality type.! is approach allows you to fi nd a description quickly
if you know its title from one of the lists in Part III. If you have not browsed the lists in
Part III, consider spending some time there.! e lists are interesting and will help you
identify job titles that you can look up in the descriptions that follow.
! In some cases a job title that appears in Part III is linked to two or more diff erent job
titles in Part IV. For example, if you look for the job title Automotive Service Technicians
and Mechanics, you will fi nd it listed here alphabetically, but a note will tell you to see
the descriptions for Automotive Master Mechanics and Automotive Specialty Technicians.
Since these job titles are also listed alphabetically, you can fi nd the descriptions easily.
! Refer to the Introduction, beginning on page 1, for details on interpreting the job
descriptions’ content.
!! e section with GOE information includes a subsection titled Other Jobs in! is Work
Group to help you identify similar jobs. Not all of the jobs listed here are among the top
50 for each personality type.
! When reviewing the descriptions, keep in mind that the jobs meet our criteria for being
among the top 50 jobs for each personality type based on their total scores for earnings,
growth, and number of openings—but one or more of these measures may not be among
the highest. For example, an occupation that has high pay may be included, even though
growth rate and number of job openings are below average.
