spatial, learning becomes easier if I have visual objects and props.

Part 5: Career Results Comparison

15. Review the career lists provided at the end of each survey. Identify three careers that are
similar across the lists. List the careers and explain why each career may be satisfying to
you, citing evidence from your survey results.

Three careers that were similar across the lists were Teacher, Business Intelligence Analysts,
and Sports Medicine Physician. Teaching has always been my dream job because I love
helping others and I've always liked it. Business Intelligence Analysts may be a good job for
me because I’m into business and the other types of things that the job has. I think I would
enjoy being a sports medicine physician because I love sports and whenever I would see
people with those jobs I would always say I can see myself doing that.
