Here we go ya'll!!! Beginning Career Research...
There is a strong link between personality types and careers. Last year, many students completed the Personality inventory on MaiaLearning. This provided a four letter acronym that identified your type of personality. With these results and the Learning and Productivity inventory, students were able begin their exploration of some possible career choices.
Introvert/Extrovert?
Sensing/INtuitive?
Thinking/Feeling?
Judging/Perceiving?
If you are new to SFS, please feel free to take the personality inventory on MaiaLearning. Your counselors are here for further direction and support. Building from what you know about yourself, students are working through identifying careers they are most interested in and planning on their individual career presentations in the following months.

Forward thinking allows students to begin exploring careers, university requirements and then effectively plan for their IB course selection that occurs early next semester!
