ChangeArtist is an informational resource and supportive community for individuals going through change. There is also a book called ChangeArtist: Surviving Change, discussed below.
I (JoNel) have been through many, many changes in life, and I found that they often made me feel isolated or lonely, confused and anxious. This lead me to a desire to help others through changes, hopefully softening what can be a sometimes [Read more →]
The Forum is designed to visit with each other about changes, as well as to learn from one another. Each month, a $25 Starbucks gift card will be given to a randomly-selected Forum participant (or $25 will be donated to the charity of your choice).
Categories reflect not only my research interests as an educator and scientist, but also things that I have found are important to understand about oneself. This is your opportunity to share with others, to learn from others, and to help others learn about themselves.
Send your e-mail address (via Contact) for inclusion change-related research. Please include a summary of your changes, and/or direct me to your Forum entries. Research will commence when we have enough participants for valid study results. At that time, participants will be entered in random drawings for gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers (or an equal amount will be donated to the charity of choice). Other paid studies on social research will be available over time.

The nationwide survey among more than 3,000 women reveal key insights on the female psyche across topics including health and well-being. Many women are skipping important medical examinations, annual physicals and screenings:
* Less than two-thirds (59%) of all women [Read more →]

Personality and career tests can be very helpful in understanding yourself, in understanding the best types of work for you, in understanding how you interact with others, and multiple other reasons!
One test that is useful for career is the MAPP Assessment. This test can be taken free, and results given to you, by going to www.assessment.com . You then have fee-based options to obtain more detailed results.
Another test that I often used is the Myers-Briggs personality test. This is used by career counselors, relationship counselors, psychotherapists, etc. The purpose of the Myers-Briggs is to make the theory of psychological types described by Jung understandable and useful to people’s lives.
