Feeling and Thinking
The client is an environmental specialist which is primarily using thinking skills. She may benefit with a career where can she voice her opinion and think with her feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
The MBTI personality test may work well for my client. As she as an African American, she is willing and understanding of the stereotypes and biases that may come along with choosing a career, but open to anything. Barriers that may occur with my client are family and community barriers, in the past she has already received commentary from both stating that her career is not good enough due to their unfamiliarity with it, but she is familiar with this. My client may have concerns regarding accessibility to the job as the job market is difficult. I would not want my client to feel pressured into pursuing one of the jobs listed on her MBTI personality test results, so I could constantly state that this test does not hold that much value over her.
