Work Personality List

I'm an employee for almost 2 years now after graduating from college. I work in a processing plant right now and assigned as an operator of a risky type of machine (guess what it is, haha.). Last day I was reading a book about how to get the job you want. To tell you frankly, I'm not happy on my job right now. I'm not passionate doing it and planning to resign and apply to the job I love which is in the field of designing. As I read the book, I learned that there are six type of work personalities namely listed below.
