There are many sites on the web that can provide you with tremendous amounts of useful information when you are trying to make a career decision. Below are some of those that we have found particularly helpful.
  • Myers Briggs Type Resources
    • This is my personality type resource section, which includes information about all 16 personality types and an overview.
    • www.keirsey.com offers a variety of information about Keirsey's theory of temperaments. It includes information about all 16 types, as well as in depth information about the 4 temperaments.
    • Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger, who wrote one of the classic books on using type for career choice, Do What You Are, have a site called PersonalityType.com, which is mostly a big ad to get you to buy their books, but also includes a good deal of information contained in the book.
    • Another informative site that grew out of UNC Chapel Hill's archives of type literature is available here. It has great descriptions of the types, written by various experts.
  • Information about Careers
    • The 2006-2007 Occupational Outlook Handbook contains enormous amounts of data on all aspects of many different careers. Provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
