Holland code and Meyers-Briggs code

Holland Code: ASR

Meyers-Briggs Code: ENTP

                I found both codes to be close to what I scored myself before taking the tests. In fact, the Meyers-Briggs code was exactly what I anticipated. The Holland code seemed to be leaned  more towards career choice, while the Meyers-Briggs code seemed to be leaned more towards personality type. This is interesting, because after reviewing the results of both codes, I found that the Holland code gave more accurate results for career choices, while the Meyers-Briggs code gave me more accurate results regarding my personality.  

                My pre-test estimate for my Holland code was that I would be artistic, social, and investigative, but I after taking the test, my code showed that I was artistic, social, and realistic. To be completely honest, after reviewing the code, and reading about the similarities and differences between the possible codes, I didn’t find a very large or noticeable difference between the two.  Many, if not most of the suggested career choices that were recommended to me were careers that I have considered.  As far as the code descriptions go, it’s not necessarily that they were completely inaccurate, but that they do not seem to be a major part of the Holland codes, and were vaguely described.

                As for the Meyers-Briggs code, my pre-test estimate was that I would be ENTP. After taking the test, the results I got were an exact confirmation. On the results page, not many careers were listed. Those that were listed did not interest me much and were not careers that I had significantly considered before. There was, however, very extensive descriptions and explanations regarding the meaning of the code’s significance in terms of personality. I found that essentially every aspect of the description of ENTPs fit me perfectly.
