(I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond but I hadn't seen your comments until today - April 20, 2009!) I wish you both well in your PR paths and I am certainly happy to hear that my article was helpful. Goeffrey, perhaps you are wise to recognize the areas in which you would like to cultivate and grow - and if you feel you have made "mistakes" in the past, well, that says it all, - it was in "the past". Sounds to me as if you both have a great future ahead of you in PR! Warmest wishes for a fantastic journey, Patricia Dear Jennifer and Geoffrey,

I am a third year university student, and I only decided this year to enroll in the Public Relations program. When I attended my first class of PR Foundations, my confidence in my decision was greatly heightened, and I knew this was what I wanted to spend my life doing. While I meet many of the personality criteria (Such as being confident, forward thinking, having strong public speaking skills, and ethics) I feel like I may fall short in a couple categories such as organization, punctuality, and social grace (but I suppose everyone makes a couple mistakes). I would say that I am capable of changing these habits, but do you think these traits will hinder my capability to be successful in PR? Thanks again for the interesting read!

As someone with a Business Marketing background who is currently doing research in breaking into a new career path in PR, I was enlightened - and relieved - that there was an article that would help me understand whether this move would be a good fit for me! It was well written with sufficient research and analysis to answer anyones questions on personality types suiting PR. Bravo! I would just like to say I thought this was an excellent article.
