Personality tests such as Myers-Briggs or StrengthsFinder can identify my natural strengths, preferences and tendencies. I am a very empathetic, very strong person who enjoys helping others and may be drawn to a career in counselling, teaching or social work that aligns my career with my core values.5.I think it's possible to re-frame the value of a task and find the positive side of it by changing the way you view it.
