Careers for Rectangles
Rectangles also highly value education and knowledge and do well in careers that require advanced degrees, research, in-depth knowledge and know how. They are brainy people who like to be experts at their field. They can be a little socially awkward though and aren’t the best at jobs which require good people skills. They do like the opportunity to talk about their knowledge and expertise though. They are book smart more than street smart and they like jobs in data, research, education or the sciences.
