Personality Type

As part of my self assessment and discovery this year I went to see Richard Pete the Careers Advisor for the university. After our chat I took a personality test to see how my personality could fit into roles within the games industry, below are the results.

Percentage breakdown of Personality

Extroverted (E) 71% Introverted (I) 29%
Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Thinking (T) 60% Feeling (F) 40%

ESTJ - Guardians and Overseers

Career Relevant Traits:

Dependable Hard Workers
Thorough Honest and Loyal
Natural Leaders which like to be in charge
Strong Organisational Skills
Will follow projects through to completion
Driven to fulfil their duties
Like structure and order


You will have a lot of choice in the type of career you choose because an ESTJ is capable in a lot of different fields. This is due to the tremendous effort that is given by doing things in the correct way. You will be at your happiest in a leadership role because of your natural drive to be in charge. The best job is one where you are creating structure and order.

As an ESTJ you will see everything in terms of concrete needs and facts. Living in the present you will scan your personal environment to check that everything I stunning smoothly and systematically. You honour laws and traditions and have a clear set of standards and beliefs. You expect other people to perform to your high standards and have little patience for those that don't uphold these values.

An ESTJ will know within themselves how things should be done, therefore you will have an ability to quickly stem on and take a commanding role of the situation. An ESTJ is usually a model citizen and you will take your commitments and responsibilities seriously, putting great effort into everything you think is important.

Possible Career Paths;

Judges
Insurance agents or underwriters
Financial Officers
Trade And Technical Teachers

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
