When it comes to career, the most basic thing is to look at the adaptability of a person and the environment. Of course, the modern concept of occupation is no longer limited to a job, but to find an environment where one can give full play to one's abilities, skills, express one's ideas and take on a certain role.
Of course, the adaptation to the environment is also different due to different personalities. For example:
First, traditional personality types are the most common in transactional occupations. Such people are easy to organize, like to deal with data and numerical facts, like clear goals, and can't accept ambiguous States. These people can be described as obedient, orderly, efficient and practical. If you use impolite words, it shows that you lack imagination, can control yourself and have no flexibility. Cashier is a typical representative of this type.
Second, the artistic type forms the strongest contrast with the traditional type. They like to choose careers in music, art, literature and drama. They think they are imaginative, intuitive and impulsive. Such people are more qualified in language than in mathematics. If described in negative language, such people are extremely emotional and disorganized.
Third, the realist type is sincere, frank, steady, pragmatic, shy, lacking insight and easy to obey. They generally have mechanical ability and are willing to engage in semi-technical or manual occupations (such as plumbers and assembly line workers).
Fourth, social man and realistic man are almost two opposite categories. Such people like to provide information and help others, like to develop interpersonal relationships, and like to work in an orderly and institutionalized working environment. Besides being sociable, these people are witty, sophisticated, friendly, easy to understand and helpful. The more negative aspect of his character is his arbitrariness and his love of manipulating others. Social people are suitable for nursing, teaching, marketing, sales, training and development.
Fifth, an innovative (entrepreneurial) person is similar to a social person in that he or she also likes to cooperate with others. The main difference is that innovative people like to lead and control others (rather than help others) to achieve specific organizational goals. This type of person is confident, ambitious, energetic and talkative. The negative side of his personality characteristics is bossiness, strong desire for power and impulsiveness.
Sixth, investigation and research are almost opposite to innovation. Such people are willing to observe and analyze phenomena for the development and understanding of knowledge. These people are complex, original and independent, but they are undisciplined, unrealistic and impulsive. Biologists, sociologists and mathematicians mostly belong to this type. In commercial organizations, such people often hold the positions of R&D and consulting personnel. These positions need complex analysis and do not need to convince others.
Of course, a person often does not show a single type, but is often a combination of two or three types, but in any case, he must always develop in a positive personality direction and let himself choose a job instead of a job.
As the saying goes, "men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong husband." This shows how important it is to choose a career for the success of one's career.
Choosing a career and career that suits your personality is the first step to success.
What kind of occupation a person chooses is often closely related to his own interests, hobbies, personality, temperament and ability. In a sense, interest, personality, etc. It is the first problem that a person should consider when choosing a career. Therefore, in the process of choosing a job, job seekers should make an objective and comprehensive self-analysis of their own situation.
First, people's hobbies often play a powerful role in promoting the choice of occupation according to their interests. But personal hobbies can only be used as an important basis for career choice, not the whole basis. Because, only by building them on the basis of certain abilities and combining them with social needs can hobbies gain a realistic foundation and be realized. Therefore, we should cultivate our own hobbies, strive to develop our own specialties, make our hobbies clearly targeted, and ensure a wider choice when applying for a job.
Psychologists believe that choosing a career according to one's personality can make one's behavior conform to one's professional work, give full play to one's intelligence and skills, and thus easily master one's work. For example, some people like to think carefully and are good at weighing the pros and cons, so they are suitable for choosing management, research and education careers; People who like sensibility usually show strong and rich emotional reactions and strong emotional behaviors, so they are suitable for art and service occupations; Positive and decisive people are usually characterized by clear behavioral goals and positive and decisive behaviors, so they are more suitable for business or decision-making occupations.
Second, choose a job according to temperament In the career of choosing a job, it is not difficult to find such a phenomenon: some people choose the profession of teacher, but they are irritable; Some people choose the profession of journalist, but they are calm and slow. In this way, the original ideal career lost its original color. The reason is not that these people have low abilities, but that their temperament is not suitable for their careers. It can be seen that different temperament will not only affect a person's career choice, but also directly affect the success or failure of specific work. Therefore, we should choose a career that suits us according to our own personality characteristics.
Third, choose a job according to your ability. With the continuous improvement of social productive forces, the social division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, and various occupations put forward higher requirements for people. Therefore, when job seekers choose a career, they must know their own advantages, their own abilities and where their abilities stand out before they can make a choice. This will contribute to the success of choosing a job and ensure that we can make full use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses and make great achievements in our future work.

Other psychologists divide personality into nine types, which are called "nine-type personality". So, what is the relationship between "nine-type personality" and work style?
1. Victim-type Victim-type people usually don't think highly of themselves. They always feel that they have been hit mentally and are not keen on their work at all, so they are usually not reused by others. People with these signs often become the prey of vultures hidden in the darkness of the job market. If you find yourself having this tendency, you should jump out quickly. For those sugar-coated advertisements, such as marketing work that only takes a few hours a week, commission work, and suspicious-looking digital content, don't try it rashly.
Secondly, perfectionism perfectionists are picky about every detail of job hunting. In the first week of job hunting, such people usually collect much more information than they actually need, and often go to stationery stores to buy all kinds of paper, labels and so on. In order to get some unimportant details. This kind of person usually writes 15 resumes of different versions in the second and third weeks of job hunting. Of course, most people don't like to submit substandard resumes, but perfectionists are eager to make endless revisions, which becomes an excuse not to submit resumes.
Third, in some views, a cheapskate is the opposite of a perfectionist. This kind of person wants to spend the least cost and get the maximum effect. He will be surprised and disagree if he is not informed to go for an interview. If you think you are a swift horse, but show yourself as an inferior horse, you will certainly be rejected. Therefore, when introducing yourself, you should send the best specimen you can, otherwise it will be considered extremely unkind to yourself.
Fourth, this kind of person, flying sand and stones, was crazy like a whirlwind for a while, but in the end he achieved nothing. In the first two weeks, job seekers who are flying sand and stones will rush to an employment agency, and then go home while waiting for the phone call, while drawing up salary plans and analyzing past plans. The correct way to apply for a job must allocate time reasonably. If you spend 95% of your time just to get 20% of the job market, then you obviously don't allocate your time properly. Job seekers who fly sand and stones are an example of this disorder.
5. Open job seekers may be excellent in skills, experience, achievements, conditions, age, etc., but they disdain to adopt the general job seeker strategy. This kind of person is pretentious and usually spends several months eating with his former colleagues and making friends. If those people cancel their appointments at the last minute, they will be quite surprised. Although such open people have excellent qualifications, their conceit and complacency will eventually become fatal.
Sixth, passive job hunting will not take the initiative to make the ideal come true. They tend to "sit tight" and think that the success of others is either "good luck" or "the right place at the right time." They forget that "the right place at the right time" is not accidental. If you don't take any action, you will get nothing. On the contrary, if you are more active, you may gain more. Passive people lose because they let themselves fall asleep.
Seventh, forgetful job seekers may be former executives. They have secretaries or assistants to handle the usual complicated affairs. They never have to ask about setting up files, recording meeting details, and saving communication materials. Therefore, when they have to deal with these affairs by themselves, they know nothing.
Eighth, scholar-type job seekers tend to forget the real purpose of finding a job, but are fascinated by the job itself. They will divert their attention, try to collect the most abundant materials in the local library, chat with librarians and exchange learning and research methods. Such people are usually well-trained and like to show their skills in front of others, so scholar job seekers waste their time collecting information aimlessly, but few people are popular.
Ninth, dream job seekers feel guilty-because they can't find a job. They can't bear to be idle, even if it's just playing with a ball or taking the dog for a walk. They position themselves in a ready state, their computers are polished, all kinds of trivial things are ready, their stationery is rearranged, and then they stare blankly at the newly installed telephone, and so on. They say this is the way to answer the phone, which makes no sense (you are busy, you should walk more). If the other person really wants you, they will try their best to contact you. If they call and you answer the phone, they may be very happy, but they will inevitably have doubts and think that you are free to answer the phone when you have nothing to do. In short, dream job seekers are no different from those who fly sand and stones. Both of them have heavy tasks and "have something to do at the same time."
