In conclusion, I noticed that most of the skills in the test results were some that I didn't think of in part 1. The areas that I feel I need improvement is being aware of safety and effectively communicating to others.
I would be a good person to hire for a job because I will get the job done and can communicate and read/understand information from a variety of sources (written communication needs improvement though). I am also able to lead a group in doing a task to the standards (needs a bit of improvement).

Interim Report

In general, I think that I should deserve a G. I am always on time for class and always get my work and any missed work done. I am always on task and keep others on task. I considerations views outside my own when doing group discussions and willingly participate. Overall, I feel that I am doing well so far in this course.

Personality Tests

Holland's Personality Test Results: CRA

VARK Results:

• Visual: 14
• Aural: 11
• Read/Write: 13
• Kinesthetic: 14

Work Values Results:

Career Quiz Results:

Closest careers to RSI:

Form my results of the 4 tests, I can conclude that I am realistic, social, and investigative (RSI). I would say that the career quiz results are more accurate than the Holland's Personality Test results. I also agree with the work values quiz that I am directive, innovative, and objective. From the VARK, I agree with the results that I am visual and kinesthetic. The most surprising thing was that the results were accurate, except the Holland's Personality Test. As for future careers, the choices the tests gave are some of the choices I used to and may still consider.

My Golden Future

After high school, I plan on either studying food science, culinary arts, or pastry arts. If I choose to study food science, I most likely will go to UBC. Their program will take me more than 3 years to complete, if I chooses to take it.

As for culinary arts and pastry arts, if I chooses to go that route, I would most likely spend a year studying at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts (PICA) taking the 6 month culinary arts program and the 6 month pastry arts program.

I also have other plans if I don't go to university or collage. I might possible travel to many popular food destinations such as France, Italy, and parts of the US.

Overall, I think that I have a good plan for my future.
