Young talents, have you ever asked yourselves: “What do I really want to do in the future?” or “Which career path is the best fit for me?”. If the answer is “Yes”, then congratulations, you are taking the first steps in an exciting journey of self-discovery. And to accompany you on this journey, let’s explore the “unparalleled” trio of tools MBTI-DISC-MI (Multiple Intelligences) with IEP.
MBTI – DISC – MI: The “superpower” trio that decodes your potential
Did you know that each of us is a unique individual, with distinct personalities, preferences, abilities, and values? The trio of tools MBTI-DISC-MI (Multiple Intelligences) will help you discover those wonderful things, thereby guiding and choosing the most suitable career path.
DISC: This tool will help you understand your behavioral style. Are you an extrovert who enjoys communicating and working in groups (D – Dominance), enjoys challenging work, is always results-oriented, and is not afraid to make decisions? Or are you meticulous, careful, and enjoy working independently (C – Conscientiousness), love stability, accuracy, and following processes? Or are you enthusiastic, passionate, enjoy social activities and building relationships (I – Influence), always full of energy and love to inspire others? What if you are calm, cautious, enjoy working in a peaceful environment and supporting others (S – Steadiness)? Knowing which personality group you belong to in DISC will help you shape your ideal work environment, where you can maximize your strengths.
Strengths, weaknesses, tendencies as well as different habits affect style, behavior and cooperation at work
MBTI: This is a world-famous personality test that helps you understand how you receive and process information, how you make decisions, and how you interact with the world around you. Are you an introvert who enjoys deep thinking and planning (I – Introversion), seeking deep meaning and often having a rich inner world? Or are you an extrovert who is adaptable and enjoys multitasking (E – Extraversion), full of energy and always looking for interaction with people? Do you tend to focus on reality, concrete details, and factual data (S – Sensing), or do you often look at the big picture, the potential, and the hidden meaning behind things (N – Intuition)? Do you make decisions based on logic and objective analysis (T – Thinking) or based on emotions and personal values (F – Feeling)? Finally, do you like flexibility, adaptability, and leaving options open (P – Perceiving), or do you like clarity, structure, and specific plans (J – Judging)? Understanding MBTI will help you identify jobs that match your personality and interests.
***Deeper understanding of yourself will help you choose the right career and achieve the highest work performance
MI – Multiple Intelligences: Not just one, but each of us possesses many different types of intelligence. You can be someone with high linguistic intelligence, good at communication and persuasion, or you can be logical-mathematical intelligence, good at analyzing and solving problems? Or are you talented in music, art, movement, space, introspection, social interaction, or nature? Discovering the theory of Multiple Intelligences will help you realize your hidden talents, thereby opening up many unexpected career opportunities.

3 steps to positioning your future career with MBTI-DISC-MI
Step 1: Understand yourself
Start by learning about yourself. You can take DISC, MBTI, and Multiple Intelligences tests online or attend professional counseling sessions. There are many reliable sources online for you to take these tests, such as 16personalities for MBTI, Tony Robbins DISC assessment for DISC, or Harvard University’s test for MI (Multiple Intelligences). Don’t forget to record these results, as they will be important “clues” to help you discover the right career picture in the future.
Example:
- DISC: Are you in group I (Influence)? Then jobs that require interaction, persuasion, and relationship building like sales, marketing, public relations may be right for you.
- MBTI: Are you in the ENFP group (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving)? Then creative jobs that require freedom and exploration like journalist, writer, artist, or designer can be a good choice for you.
- MI (Multiple Intelligences): Do you have high intrapersonal intelligence (Intrapersonal)? Then jobs that require self-awareness and the ability to work independently, such as psychologist, counselor, or researcher, may be right for you.
If you see yourself in this combination, the following career positions will be extremely suitable for you to refer to:
- Psychologist or Psychological counselor
- Speaker or Inspiring person
- Writer or Content creator
- Social Entrepreneur or Community program
Step 2: Experience the professional world
After you have a clear understanding of yourself from the 3 MBTI-DISC-MI tools, start exploring the professional environment to start building a foundation for your career.

Learn about job requirements, work environment, career advancement opportunities, salary, and the challenges of each profession.
You can refer to the following directions:
- Are you an extrovert who enjoys communicating and has high linguistic intelligence? Learn about careers such as marketing, sales, journalism, media, law, teaching, or speaking.
- Are you an introvert who likes to think deeply and has high logical-mathematical intelligence? Learn about careers such as programmer, engineer, scientist, researcher, or data analyst.
