Practical
Logical
Active
Congratulations! You are the Artisan. Practical, straightforward, and active, you bring a hands-on approach to everything that you do. In your spare time, we’ll probably find you working on DIY projects around the house and garden, getting outdoors mountain biking or running, or tinkering with your car.
Because of your independent nature and interest in how things work, you’re drawn toward jobs that involve hands-on problem-solving. If you’re looking for some career inspiration, some good places to start are in the construction, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, utilities and logistics sectors.
“You have to fall in love with your work… You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That’s the secret of success.”
— Chef Jiro (from Jiro Dreams of Sushi)
