Brains Anyone?
How much of what we do actually changes the way our brain is wired? Aside from this man who suddenly learned how to play the piano, scientists are telling us now that years of practice at anything changes the way our brains work. This means that if you've been doing your job for a long time, it's probably changed the way your brain works.
For a long time we've given personality tests to aspiring young workers in order to "match" them to the most appropriate job. Now it seems the process may also work in reverse.
For those of you who love studies, this recent one was on personalities and firefighters. Among the gems here:
However, what surprised the researchers was the finding that after an injury, married female firefighters returned to work the earliest, followed by unmarried male, unmarried female and married male firefighters
and
"...chronic exposure to loud industrial noise was found to increase blood pressure overtime and to reduce job satisfaction, especially for those with complex jobs..."
That's from the "had to be obvious department" How was THAT done? "Here, let me yell in your ear while you try some brain surgery"
I've had the privilege to work in a variety of environments over the years. Many times I've heard people comment about "Well, that's a personality trait that most everyone that does this job has" I never thought much about it, but now I wonder how much does the personality change the job, and how much does the job change the personality? Perhaps instead of matching people up with jobs that match their personality, we should try to match them up with jobs that matches the personality traits they would like to have.
Thanks Buddy! I truly enjoy the information that? you're sharing bruh! Extremely simple to comprehend.
