Digital match and groups
In this task we were assigned to take a survey on the bbc digital match site and find out what type of personality trait we had and research what job roles fit within that personality after that.
First off we went to the bbc digital match site so we could take the survey to see what personality we had, there were questions like, would you work in a team or by yourself, or help someone with an issue they’re having or leaving them to figure it out. After this we got our personality trait, the personality trait I got was “Constant Creative” this meant i have an artistic mind as well as it saying that I would do well in teams
When the test was done we could scroll down and see what roles with people of those personalities usually do, with roles like; Working on video, creating magazines and comics, fashion design and graphics design. I went for graphics design since it is already what I’m pursuing.
After deciding the general role I was going for I went on a website to find what more specific job role retaining to graphics design are, with stuff like being a manager of graphical design to doing freelance graphics design it gave specifications for what is usually needed in these job roles, like having a certain amount of qualifications plus an amount of time already spent in the industry
[screen grab]
With our job roles figured out we were instructed to make design teams to work in for the rest of the year, so we needed to find out what skills work together, called complimentary skills.
I found 2 others who skilled I contrasted with one “Inventive creative” and the other one who was a “creative artisan”. Both of them had a little bit of experience of programming with c++ which also compliments that they also had some experience with design as well.
The group me and 2 others created was called Digital Decor we found out the skills we could use, and through what we had experience in we decided to be based primarily on web design
In this task I learned what personality type I was through the digital match program as well as learning some new skills in making groups and what skills compliment each other. I will use this in the future to help find jobs pertaining to my personality as well as finding groups and teams I would be able to join within the media industry.
