My PICS profile

Ideal environment:

Your answers on the Personal Inventory of College Styles suggest you have a healthy interest in both the intellectual and social aspects of the college experience.

Distance from home:

You seem to be an adventurer. Your answers to the Personal Inventory of College Styles suggest that you are one of those students who should consider institutions in all parts of the country rather than limiting your search to near your home.

Commitment to major field:

We do not recommend that you choose a college because it has a reputation or a strong program in the major field you listed on the questionnaire. Your responses to the PICS questions suggest that you are likely to change your mind before you actually choose a major field.

Curriculum for you:

You are a self-motivated learner. Your answers to the Personal Inventory of College Styles show that you have natural curiosity and an interest in discovering new fields.

Academic pressure:

You can handle and may actually thrive under a great deal of academic pressure. You should not be concerned about how much academic challenge a college may present.

What's important to you:

Personal recognition and the prestige of a college are important to you, according to your answers on the Personal Inventory of College Styles.

Location:

Look for a college or university near a city. Your answers to the Personal Inventory of College Styles suggest that you enjoy and will take advantage of a city.

Institutional size:

You seem to make friends easily, and will take the initiative to get involved in campus life. You also seem to be a person who is content in a group or by yourself. You do not need to be the center of attention. Yet, you are comfortable in that role if the time comes. This suggests that you will succeed at a larger institution.
