Final Product: Students will share their personality and career findings with their counselors and other
students in a small group setting.
Library Lesson: Students will take a brief personality test based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicators and
determine their indicated Myers-Briggs type. They will use their test results to read descriptions of their
personalities and then research possible careers based on their MBTI results.
Estimated Lesson Time: 90 minutes
Assessment
Product: Students will submit their assessments and responses to their counselors online. Counselors
will meet with students and review the completed online activity responses as part of each student?s
career exploration and Individual Graduation Plan development.
Process: The media specialist creates a student response sheet that includes a personality
assessment, links to overviews of the 16 MBTI types, and links to different career options based on
MBTI results. Students select one career to research using the Bureau of Labor Statistic?s Occupational
Outlook Handbook at http://www.bls.gov/ooh/ to find out the minimum education required for the career
and other questions such as work conditions and salary.
Student self-questioning: Students read their tested MBTI profile and reflect on whether or not the
assessment resulted in an accurate description of their personality preferences. Students review
educational requirements, salaries, and work conditions for their career choices and consider whether
the career is a good match for their individual preferences.

may be. The media specialist then has each student find the file for the personality and career activity on
the school web page, save the file on the school network, and begin the personality assessment. When
students have finished the assessment, the counselor directs students to
