Does your job fit your personality?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test, measuring preferences like introversion and extroversion, has been part of business culture for decades. Today about 80% of the Fortune 500 and 89 of Fortune 100 companies use it to analyze the personalities of employees, in an effort to get them in the right roles and help them succeed.

To determine five of the best jobs for each of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types, we consulted one of the most popular personality guides, "Do What You Are: Discover the Perfect Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type," which is now in its fifth edition and has sold over a million copies, according to its publisher, Hachette Book Group.

We also talked to one of its authors, Paul Tieger. As the CEO of SpeedReading People LLC, Tieger has spent 30 years advising companies and individuals on how personality types can help teams work together.

While the list below is in no way definitive — and personality preferences can be flexible over time — it may serve as a helpful guide for understanding yourself and what sort of personalities gravitate toward certain jobs.

There are several tests you can take to determine which personality type you fit into. Tieger provides a free assessment here. Figure out which type suits you best, and then check out the chart below:

Samsung's latest 105-inch UHD TV isn't just curved: it bends too!

Perhaps 85 inches isn't enough? Samsung's just introduced a 105-inch curved, bendable UHD TV at its IFA 2014 press conference. That means not only is it a massive, ultra high-definition screen, but also that it's re-shaped at the touch of a button. If all that sounds expensive to you, that's because it is: the non-bendable version is around $120K, so we can only imagine how much this one'll cost (Samsung didn't offer a price this morning, sadly). If nothing else, it's quite pretty! Head past the break for more details and a closer look.

Samsung's 105-inch QHD, bendable TV has a 21:9 aspect ratio and transforms "from flat to curved." Here are a couple shots, care of Samsung.

And how about another one, for good measure:

Intel introduces a snakeskin smart cuff for fancy humans

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/03/intel-luxury-smart-band/

We understand: you want to get into the whole wearable tech thing, but what's holding you back is how fugly most current offerings are. That shouldn't deter you for long, as Intel has made good on its promise to make a smart-bracelet that doesn't look like an overgrown phone strapped to your wrist. It's called the MICA (My Intelligent Communication Accessory) and the notification-bracelet be available at Opening Ceremony and high-end retailer Barney's for the holiday shopping season this year, according to USA Today. Pricing isn't quite set in stone yet, but an Intel rep tells CNET that the cuff-style gadget will run under $1,000. Slightly expensive for a a wearable, sure, but not so much when compared against, say, a piece of traditional jewelry. The MICA comes in black and white (as illustrated by the image above), and will feature either Chinese pearls and lapis stones or tiger's eye and obsidian depending on which color of watersnake skin you opt for. Snazzy!

If the device's looks don't do it for you, maybe its capabilities will. The MICA packs a 1.6-inch sapphire touchscreen covering an OLED display that'll show off, among other things, your text messages and calendar reminders. An internal 3G radio (no smartphone-pairing needed, apparently) keeps it connected to mobile data and it can be charged either via USB or a wireless system. Still want more? Swing by Opening Ceremony's spring/summer 2015 show this Sunday during New York Fashion Week for the gizmo's official unveiling.

More Evidence That Google's Next Big Tablet Might Be Coming Soon

Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/new-google-nexus-tablet-rumors-2014-9

It's been about two years since Google introduced a large-sized tablet to its lineup, so it's not surprising that the company might have a new one coming down its pipeline.

For months, rumors hinted at Google working with HTC on a new Nexus tablet, which hasn't been refreshed since the Nexus 10 released in 2012. But a source familiar with the situation told Android Police that Google is indeed planning to sell a keyboard case made by HTC for its upcoming Nexus tablet.

The case itself doesn't tell us too much about Google's next tablet. But if Android Police's sources are correct, it would confirm the device's previously reported 9-inch screen.

This suggests Google is focusing more of its resources toward its larger-sized tablet. Google updated its smaller-sized Nexus 7 tablet in 2013, leaving many Android fans wondering when a new bigger-sized Nexus tablet would come.

Android Police created a mockup of how this rumored 9-inch Nexus tablet would look compared to the Nexus 7 in terms of size, which is shown above.

It's important to note that this isn't an image of what the actual tablet will look like — it's just a concept meant to illustrate tablet's potential size.

Google and HTC have yet to publicly make any announcements about their future products, but rumors have hinted that the tablet may feature an all-metal design. If this is the case, it sounds like Google's new tablet will come with the same premium aluminum build that made the HTC One such a hit with critics in 2013.

Last year Google unveiled its Nexus 5 smartphone at the end of October, so we're hoping to see more updates next month.
