[[Personalities and Work]] (hereinafter, the ''Lectio'') is the second [[lectio|lesson part]] of the '''[[Nature of Occupations]]''' [[lesson]] that introduces its participants to [[occupation]]s and related topics.

[[File:Educaship-pipeline.png|400px|thumb|[[WorldOpp Pipeline]]]]This ''lesson'' belongs to the [[Introduction to Employment]] session of [[EmployableU Concepts]].

The predecessor [[lectio]] is [[What Occupation Is]].

===Script===
:For a long time, [[psychologist]]s have been approaching various ideas to match [[personality|personaliti]]es and [[occupation]]s. Logically, [[artist]]s tend to be more disruptive ''personalities'' than [[accountant]]s. Vice versa, ''accountants'' tend to be more conforming ''personalities'' than [[artist]]s.

:No single personality framework fully describes a ''personality'' and no one can predict one's [[productivity]] at the workplace depending on the ''personality'' only. There might be no need. A successful sport team, for instance, should be a mosaic of ''personalities'' regardless of the fact that all of them would share the same ''occupation''.

:The [[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator]] ([[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator|MBTI]]) was originally developed to identify students' aptitudes toward various [[profession]]s. Today, some [[employer]]s collect [[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator|MBTI]] data to match [[mentor]]s and [[protégé]]s. 

:This [[personality test]] taps four characteristics and classifies people into one of 16 personality types.

:Every characteristic contributes one letter from the following pairs:
:*First letter is either '''E''' for [[Extraversion]] or '''I''' for [[Intraversion]] depending on onward or inward focus,
:*Second letter is either '''S''' for [[Sensing]] or '''N''' for [[Intuition]] in acquiring information,
:*Third letter is either '''T''' for [[Thinking]] or '''F''' for [[Feeling]] in making decisions,
:*Last, fourth letter is either '''J''' for [[Judging]] or '''P''' for [[Perceiving]] in living outer life.
:For instance, ''ISFP'' would stand for a ''sensing, feeling, perceiving introvert''.

:In another attempt, American psychologist John Holland matched two [[personality dimension]]s, disruptive versus conforming and individual versus collective, with six groups of ''occupations''. Holland's groups are [[artistic occupation|artistic]], [[conventional occupation|conventional]], [[enterprising occupation|enterprising]], [[investigative occupation|investigative]], [[realistic occupation|realistic]], and [[social occupation|social]]. 

:This model is called the [[Holland Occupational Themes]]. The [[Occupational Information Network]] utilizes this model in its [[occupational interest|Interest]]s section.

===Key terms===
:[[Personality]], [[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator]] ([[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator|MBTI]])

===Closing===
