Career Path
To write this blog I will use exact information from my result from 16personalities and the Career Path & Total Compensation from Pernix Playbook.
Regarding the 16personalities test I am a protagonist and reading trough the explanation of each feature of this type of personality I feel very identified in so many ways, one of the sections that catch my attention was Career Path, I like to earn my place and be independent although not forgetting what is surrounding me, I like to know my environment and be part of it, learning from peers and also carrying task with them, I don’t really like to let behind any request from anyone, as I talked on my own blog “How do I stand out” my reason to stand out and wake up every day is to find challenges that bring the chance to put my abilities on test, most of the times when I master something I feel stuck and bored, this was a huge problem on my past job because I didn’t really feel anything working on the same database or the same project as the past year, the reason for this was the requirements it feel like they were the same and new technologies didn’t came on board just the same, I feel like Pernix solve that problem for me because is a place with an extensive portfolio on projects and offers the chance to work on something different from time to time, also test my personality rarely on any company.
Reading the section Workplace Habits, I have never had someone under my supervision officially on a work environment, however on University often and most of the times I hold the leader role, I can think on many projects and homework where I was the person who coordinate everything, most of the times I was the one with better skills on programming and this help me out to teach my partners, and coordinate the project also I had very proficient classmates these times was easy to work because on group we could solve problems and accomplish our goals faster, I don’t feel bad having the leader position but is true that this is not being my goal recently, I can relate with this test when says like protagonist tend to take all the tasks, is not like I want to call the attention but I want challenges and I want to accomplish everything, sadly this is a double edge sword, every day I like to think on my capabilities and understanding what is my capacity to accomplish my goals and avoid carrying extra work.
Regarding the test I am a Diplomat ENFJ-A, what most catch my attention what the section “Sucess” I’ve thought of the meaning of that word too often, yes, I have my mortal ambitions like every person on earth, and I want to own many things, but having too much money, lands or cars is not meaning for success, owing your time is the most ideal meaning of success in this world, if we really think about it this is the only thing that is being spend every day is not money, is not belongings, is what you really feel happy to do every day, I really feel successful because I decide what to do with my time, obviously I won’t let behind my goals because part of the use of my time is to reach all the things I find important and backing with the other role of protagonist I really appreciate time with people, it can be my family, friends, coworkers and strangers I feel like when I talk to people and when I create new connections is meaningful time for me.
Is weird to put a video, weirder at the beach, I had the chance to go to the beach on May this year, I couldn't feel more successful than being there, it was not just the vacation time, in that moment I realize that life won’t start when you accomplish the big goals that you have on your mind, it does when you feel every second when you feel the time passing through your life, that’s why I feel like having time for everything is the meaning of success. Also I wanted to share this instead a boring picture with no meaning.
And comparing my personality with the Pernix document, I feel like I belong to so many places if we speak on levels or ranges, for example since I’ve been working with new technologies my technical knowledge is still on progress, but I have seen so many situations like I did in the past that I know how to achieve a positive result, also I like to be an autonomous person, I feel very comfortable working on my tasks without evolving many people unnecessary, nevertheless when something very complex kicks in I need to validate my solution with a partner with better experience, this is not meaning that I can’t do complex tasks, I have already face complex situations this could be communication with a client or a requirement, it just that at some point on the task I will need support from peers.
I feel like I have walked for a bit on my professional career, I see things quite different since I started programming, and I want to be better every day, assets like the 16personalities test tells me how I am, I feel very identified with all the concepts that the test explains, also as I said on this blog, being a manager or a leader is not my goal really makes me consider having new goals and opening my mind to new roles and challenges that I could take on a future.
