What did you find the most useful, out of the info they're selling? I borrowed a friend's account to take the test, so I might have to retake it (interesting, to see if the same categories occur.)
The most useful thing about the MAPP assessment was that it spelled out pretty clearly that the direction my career was headed was not the direction in which I had any interest or took any enjoyment. I tried to tell myself that if I just pushed myself and concentrated, I could work through the fact that I didn't really enjoy my job, I mean, a lot of people at my company don't seem to enjoy their jobs--why did I think I should be any different?
The results indicated that it would be an uphill struggle just to be adequate because I really didn't possess any knack for the job as it was developing. When I accomplished something, I felt relief that I dodged another bullet, not enjoyment in the fact that I succeeded. That's no way to live.
There's no guarantee that my job will be reworked 100% to my satisfaction, but I am hopeful that things will improve. If things didn't change at the current job, I was prepared to take classes, then leave and start over someplace else.
In addition, the assessment indicated that at least one path that I thought I might take to get out of the current situation really wasn't for me, either. It's good to avoid those frying pan into fire situations.
