  17. Personal Traits.

    Across of my life i have thought that in the time i have changed, but always i have been very analytical, broad minded, independent and reserved, but also social at times for speak with the people. I don´t like mathe and i don´t enjoy the careers engineering. The science doesn´t limit the investigation to mathematical problems. The history is not a science, but this career need to normal people who love what they do.

  19. As for the activity listen to the conversation between Rebecca and Todd felt more comfortable than in test 13 and 14, at least I was right more often, although it would be interesting to develop this skill more frecuently.

    In making the tour of the game of roulette academic can be best place for us, for my case is the social perspective: then I feel good about my career, to develop skills such as understanding and persuasion, and skills such as insight, the value knowledge and idealism. others activities are: the ability to plan and supervise activities and the ability to cooperate and help others

The above features allow me to be able to solve math problems, understand scientific theories, do complex calculations, use a microscope or computer and interpret formulas.

  24. According to the webpage I considered myself as a realistic, Because of my interests in maths, in design and the physics.
    I’m mechanically inclined, also because feel able to fix electrical things, to solve electrical problems and to operate tools and machinery.
    Another kind of reasons why I consider a realistic in because I would like to tinker with machines or vehicles, it’s really interesting, also there are some hobbies which actually I don’t get but in some way I’m interested in, for example repairing cars, equipment, etc. and building models, as also I do some as coaching a team sport, in my case the mountain bike.
    Something I’m really interested in, is about the career possibilities(based on the Holland code); some of them are automobile mechanic, aircraft mechanic, maintenance or laboratory technician. The mutual understanding departamentsand organizations are also very important and interesting for me because of the relation between all the areas also supported by the Holland code.

  27. Ok according to the recommendation of the teacher is a short composition about the personalities and career.
    Actually I Study two careers Political Science and History ( double titulation) my passion always has been the human science and all about this, I think there is always a spirit of humanistic and social, the essence of this area of the science is when one studies acquires sensitivity and respect for the other people, my personality then is very funny, happy, social and charismatic and for moment very keen and FORGETFUL ( only the english I can this because I work very hard but no is easy but I try and don’t give up ), I believe I can get away and conquer my dreams and therefore I am optimistic and very unwrapped.
    I am able using the logic but construct groups of team and workgroups with good result. I can resolve different problems and situation when work and in my house specially because I have a good capacity for think, analyze and generate good decision and finally i´m Like much to read about my career and the foreign policy, dance all the music except the heavy metal, the classic video games is my passion because I remember the past and my childhood, I like eating the food especially local food, Italian , Peruvian and Argentine umm yumi delicious and very variety and the teacher knows for the last level and is Cook with my best friend Silvia Louise Hitchcock.

  28. according to this test, I'm a friendly person, who likes to help others, persuasive, patient, very responsible and generous, in all characteristics to some extent I have. I like working in groups, and lead them, participate in different events, all that is in a group.
    I actually recommended the test race in which I am now, but I disagree with something, while a choice of historians is to be a teacher, but the research is very lonely, if you want to succeed.
    overall I'm deacordo with the test.

  33. Hi teacher.

    I think that i'm a person who doesn't cares the problems, I'm a little bit chill and i can laguh more than once time in a day. If you try, to make me angry, let me tell its very dificult, is more easy if you try to make me laugh. I pass many time of my day reading, yes READING, I wake up, take a little breakfeas-read. Take a shower and wear myself and i continue reading etc. "Impossible is nothing" I don't leave my crazy dreams easily. The music run througth my vains. I considerate myself a person who breath music, eat music, see music flying in the air and walk in a totally music world.
