"Recommended Book"
Quite a profound guide to personality discovery. I'm glad I found this book. It reassures me that I'm on the right career track. Knowing this encourages me to confidently strive even more!

"CAREER MISMATCH"
Was a regretful purchase even at the reduced rate that I purchased it at. Only about 10 pages of the approx. 250 in the book apply to each specific type. It offers little to no more than what can be found on free online personality page under recommended career paths.

"Great book"
First I have to say that despite this being a great book it wasn't quite what I expected based on the title. There are some very helpful career tips - but it is vastly more useful as a personality guide. Specifically - communicating with people (and indirectly that is a huge component of what makes us love/hate our career, and is instrumental in getting or not getting the career we want).

The author gives a good history of why she started doing what she does (it is basically an interpretation of the myers-briggs personality test). However her color-coded system is organized in a much better way than any other source I've found. She uses categories like Green/Gold to describe someone rather than the four-letter system, which for me is far more comprehensible. The colors are neutral terms as well - rather than the Keirsey system of 'descriptors' like 'healer', 'mastermind', etc. Her goal is to help people deal with OTHER people in the workplace, and I think she gives you the tools to do just that.

The most convincing for me was that I jokingly made some coworkers take 'the test' at a work related party and the correlation was extremely high. Most people agreed not just with the overall summary of their character type, but also with the 'negative aspects' of their personality (which she cutely presents as 'challenges'). Spouses, if they were present, also agreed with the description.

So if you truly don't know what career to choose - this book may help point you in the right direction, but isn't going to get you to the office door (it's too general). If you are trying to figure out what would fit you best, or how to make things better at your current workplace (or even why you are not happy at your current workplace) so that you have a foundation to move forward from - then this is the book for you.

"Great book for almost everyone who works"
It goes without saying that job satisfaction includes WHAT you do (i.e. job) and WHERE you do it (i.e. workplace). If you don't know what type of job fits you and your personality, you should take the ten-minute self assessment quiz in the book Career Match by Shoya Zichy. In this useful, easy to read career book she helps you discover the best job fit for your unique personality type. In addition, she matches your personality to such workplace factors as the work environment and your boss.

"Career Match"
Really very well put together in a simple format. They take the Myers-Briggs type personality types and simply it into a primary color code. Well done and effective book. Good for anyone looking for a career or career change. Do What You Are, is another such book, but a little more detailed and complex. I really liked the simplicity of Career Match.
