Answer to Question 1

Answer: Some jobs can seem greathigh-paying and interestingbut may not fit your personality. An introvert might find it difficult to do a service job (say, a cashier in an airport) that involves constant interaction with strangers. Individuals high in openness to experience find it challenging to work in jobs that offer little opportunity for creativity or growth. Individuals low in conscientiousness find it difficult to perform well in jobs requiring a lot of organization. The issue often is not whether a job is good or bad; if your personality does not fit the job, you are far less likely to be happy doing it. Imagine being an accountant if you did not care about order or neatness (i.e., low conscientiousness) or being a trial lawyer if you liked pleasant relationships in which people were always happy and nice (i.e., high agreeableness). Either your personality would have to change to meet the job or you would be very unhappy and would quit and find another career.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Pure intrinsic motivation refers to internalized motives such as maintaining self-esteem, meeting goals, and fulfilling core values. Pure intrinsic motivation involves true passion and joy in doing a job.
