At Enota our fourth grade students are completing their career lessons with Mrs. Ligon. We have been exploring careers throughout the Career Clusters such as: Agriculture, Construction, Education, Government, and Manufacturing.  When discussing these careers, we learn what a person might do. It is also important to understand what a person is likely to be interested in before choosing their career.

That led us at Enota to give our students a personality inventory. We chose to use Directionality-Determining Communication Pathways for Students. This inventory determines basic characteristics and traits that drive student's personalities in everyday life. Once students complete the survey, we see them in four color areas.

• Yellow: Students who appear reserved, quiet, and very organized
• Blue: Students who are friendly, talkative, and ask many questions
• Green: Students who are thoughtful, mathematical, and very detailed
• Red: Students who state opinions openly, good at making quick decisions, and active

We process with all of our students that everyone has some part of each color in their personality. However, we tend to have dominant colors. This is important to understand as we begin learning who we are and what we want to be when we grow up. We want to choose careers that we enjoy and feel strong in doing.  Our motto here at Enota is Be Your Best. This is another way in teaching our students to do that as they grow into future careers.
