BUS-X220 Strong Interest Inventory Reflection Throughout the Strong Interest Inventory assessment, I was able to learn more about how I would react while being in certain situations. I was able to see whether I would listen to my mind or my heart when making decisions. Following the assessment, I was provided my three letter Strong Occupational Theme code of “CEA”. This code characterized the cluster of interests the assessment believed I would best be interested in. Essentially, I will be reflecting upon my results and discussing future career options I should consider based on my results. As I have stated previously, my three-letter code was “CEA” which translates to Conventional, Enterprising, and Artistic themes. I agree that these three themes best suit my personality and career interests as I have a passion for investing, learning about business, and public speaking.

Furthermore, I agree with the results provided by the Strong. The results fully illustrate my interests and preferences in making decisions regarding my education and future career. I wasn’t surprised by any of the results, I figured that I was going to receive these results due to my personality. Regarding the Top Ten Strong Occupations, I am very interested in researching more regarding the Financial Manager and Realtor positions. I am interested in both as they require you to have a fundamental knowledge of Business while being able to speak with a variety of people while also having to work under tight deadlines. Essentially, I believe these two positions can be considered for me to pursue after college....
