So my councilor suggested this personaitly test called VIA. Here the link here - Personality Test, Personality Assessment: VIA Survey | VIA Institute
It tells your top 24 but the Top 5 she told me is your strengths. If you can use that say for a career it being happiness and success. Since my question to her was about what career could I do. So these are my results. I asked her what I can do with this? She said usually she gives them to her clients and that's it they happy with results or I can Google to find what skills required in a job. The issue is the title of these results are very vague., so if I Google it I probably won't get much of a result So I written down the results here with descriptions. My question to you is what kind of job comes into mind with these descriptions? Top Strengths Honesty. You are honest, authentic, and act with integrity. You tell the truth and present yourself as who you are. Yoi take responsibility for your own actions and feelings and you are open about it. You're not pretending to be some thing that you are not. Appreciation of Beauty and Exellence. Yoi can appreciate the beauty in things, for example, in nature. You vaule good and great performance in all domains of life you appreciate what is good right and beautiful and you experience awe. Love You the ability to you and be loved. You vaule deep realtionships with mea ingful others. Reciprocity is important for sharing and caring. You like to be close to other people, to be connected. Kindness You like pleasing other people by doing favors and acts of kindness You help and care for others. You are generous and compassionate You can also be kind towards yourself by taking good care of yourself. Socail Intelligence You are aware of your motives and feelings and those of others. You can adapt in all kinds of socail situations. You understand what drives people and you are insightful in how people think and feel. |

Personally I have more trust in career exploration tests and career surveys if you want to narrow down your best career choices. I find those fairly accurate. I am not sure about this personality test. It seems very generic. I know ton of people who are loving, honest, kind etc and they all are in different career fields. I’d say any kind of career choice is the best for honest people as people should be honest in any job. I’d maybe ask your counselor for specific tests that would lead to best career choices . Just my 2 cents.
PS do you have any career training/education or you’d have to start from scratch? |

I think a better question might be, what are you interested in? What is your passion?

I agree with both divine and bpcyclist. You likely need a test geared toward career and less about general values. Also what interests you? And I'd add, where are you most comfortable, like what type of environments?
