An important web site is born

www.whatsmynature.com


Check out this web site created by someone who is really dedicated to his subject.  Over the last 14 years, I saw Steve working hard to build various educational tools.  This one is most useful to find out one of the most important things at the center of our lives.

Here is Steve’s description of his project:

Greetings!

Over the past 14 years, I've become increasingly concerned about the way children are routinely forced into academic streams and careers that are at odds with their natures. Parents often guide their kids into professions they think are prestigious or lucrative without regard to whether the children are suited for that type of work. This nature-profession mismatch is a major cause of job dissatisfaction, which directly results in stress, depression, overeating, substance abuse, relationship problems, and so on.

To address this issue, I have created a new website called What's My Nature? (www.whatsmynature.com). It contains a 7-minute test that determines an individual's nature, and then suggests compatible careers.

Here's how it works:

  • The site first identifies your dominant Multiple Natures (Protective, Educative, Administrative, Creative, Healing, Entertaining, Providing, Entrepreneurial, and Adventurous).

  • It then determines your dominant Multiple Intelligences (Bodily, Interpersonal, Logical, Linguistic, Visual, Musical, Intrapersonal, and Naturalistic).

  • Lastly, the site searches through our database of 500+ jobs, and identifies jobs that match your profile.

Just to give you an idea, the site identified my own profile as:

  • MN: Educative, Creative
  • MI: Musical, Intrapersonal

That's spot on. It then went on to identify 14 professions for me. And first on the list was Educational Curriculum Designer. How's that for accurate?!

Please check the site out and let me know what you think. After you take the test, be sure to save the results—and send them to me. I'd love to know what your profile is, and how accurate the job recommendation was. And please do pass it on to others—especially to youngsters who are figuring out their life paths.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Take care and enjoy!

Steve
