The vocational assessments used by Success Image career professionals provide you with an in-depth understanding of your skills, personality, interests and values. You will become confident in describing your skills and achievements to others, so that you will be able to develop and project your "success image". This information will enable you to use your innate abilities, natural talents and personality throughout your life and career. You will learn how to focus these strengths on a rewarding career that fits your personality and values.
The assessments used by Success Image career professionals put you in touch with the "real you" and your inborn talents. You will have several one-on-one meetings with your counselor to interpret and understand your results. In addition to identifying interesting and suitable careers that are in sync with your skills and personality, you will also learn how to use the secrets of personality type to continually develop your talents and move forward in your chosen field.
We use a number of vocational assessments suited to our clients needs. Some of the assessments used include:

 The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument and the dozens of expert resources that have been designed to enhance its effectiveness offer a practical yet powerful set of tools for lifelong growth and development. After more than 50 years, the MBTI instrument continues to be the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world for understanding individual differences and uncovering new ways to work and interact with others. More than 2 million assessments are administered to individuals-including employees of many Fortune 500 companies-annually in the United States alone. The MBTI family of tools reaches across the globe in 21 languages to help improve individual and team performance, nurture and retain top talent, develop leadership at every level of an organization, reduce workplace conflict, and explore the world of work. Begin with the MBTI Form M instrument, which identifies the four basic type preferences, or Form Q, which provides a more richly textured picture of type and behavior.

Career Anchors
Schein's Career Anchors
Understanding what inspires
you in your career
Edgar Schein at MIT has identified eight themes and has shown that people will have prioritized preferences for these. For example a person with a primary theme of Security/Stability will seek secure and stable employment over, say, employment that is challenging and riskier. People tend to stay anchored in one area and their career will echo this in many ways.
To effectively manage your career, you need to know more than what you enjoy doing: You need to understand WHY you like to do it. You need to figure out what the underlying characteristics of the work are that make the task enjoyable, interesting and stimulating to you.
To help people answer this question, Edgar Schein, a specialist in organizational psychology and career dynamics, identified eight "career anchors."
