Are you happy in your career?

Do you love your job and feel "valued, challenged and balanced" in your work? Are you so passionate about your job that you jump out of bed in the morning to rush for work? Do you experience joy while working and find yourself truly self-expressed at your workplace?

Find out by taking this "Quiz: Are You Satisfied With Your Job?" by Kate Lorenz.

For a more detailed analysis, answer 100 questions at LiveCareer (takes 15-20 min). The "free" part of the report gives a profile of your career interests and provides a "workplace fit" report along seven personality types (based on six types in Holland Career Code Model, which has been in use since the 1970s):

  • Realistic (Doers)
  • Investigative (Thinkers)
  • Artistic (Creators)
  • Social (Helpers)
  • Enterprising (Persuaders)
  • Conventional (Organizers)
  • Attentive (Servers)
LiveCareer has added the seventh type to specifically recognize the service-based economy. Attentive (Servers) types enjoy helping others, serving others' personal needs and looking after the comfort and well-being of others. They are happy in jobs requiring sociability, politeness, patience and a happy disposition.
