Aristotle famously said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Therefore, foundational career management work begins with your own Professional and Personal Inventories. This self-reflection is not a one-time consideration because people change over the years and even daily. Each moment, experience, relationship, person, or activity feeds how we think, perceive, and assess the next moment. In CareerTruth, we nudge you to capture notable moments and tendencies, which, over time, will help you see yourself and your work clearly.
It’s easier to know what you want to do in the future if you know who you have been in the past. While input from others is essential, actual development comes from the insight of knowing yourself first and foremost.
An excellent assessment will examine your values, perceptions, fears, and motivations to help you reflect on your past performances. DiSC, Enneagram, MBTI, StrengthsFinders, Kolbe, etc., have great worth and illustrate different facets of human nature. If you have already taken these, we encourage you to upload the reports to your Vault so you can reflect on them and refer back.
