Your personality type is ISTJ.

Introverted (I) 79% Extraverted (E) 21%
Sensing (S) 50% Intuitive (N) 50%
Thinking (T) 60% Feeling (F) 40%
Judging (J) 64% Perceiving (P) 36%

But it's more IxTJ like jm1..9 since S/N was 50% each

Im an ENFJ.... so boring!

Careers for ENFJ Personality Types
Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ENFJs generally have the following traits:

* Genuinely and warmly interested in people
* Value people's feelings
* Value structure and organization
* Value harmony, and good at creating it
* Exceptionally good people skills
* Dislike impersonal logic and analysis
* Strong organizational capabilities
* Loyal and honest
* Creative and imaginative
* Enjoy variety and new challenges
* Get personal satisfaction from helping others
* Extremely sensitive to criticism and discord
* Need approval from others to feel good about themselves

The flexibility of these characteristics leave the ENFJ a lot of leeway in choosing a profession. As long as they're in a supportive environment in which they can work with people and are presented with sufficient diverse challenges to stimulate their creativity, they should do very well.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ENFJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed here.

Possible Career Paths for the ENFJ:

* Facilitator
* Consultant
* Psychologist
* Social Worker / Counselor
* Teacher
* Clergy
* Sales Representative
* Human Resources
* Manager
* Events Coordinator
* Sales Representative
* Politicians / Diplomats
* Writers


Im also an ESFP:

ESFPs generally have the following traits:

Live in the present moment
Are stimulated and excited by new experiences
Practical and realistic
Warmly interested in people
Know how to have a good time, and how to make things fun for others
Independent and resourceful
Spontaneous - seldom plan ahead
Hate structure and routine
Dislike theory and long written explanations
Feel special bond with children and animals
Strongly developed aesthetic appreciation for things
Great people skills
ESFPs are good at many things, but will not be happy unless they have a lot of contact with people, and a lot of new experiences. They should choose careers which provide them with the opportunity to use their great people skills and practical perspective, which will also provide them with enough new challenges that they will not become bored.

There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ESFP:

Artists, Performers and Actors
Sales Representatives
Counselors / Social Work
Child Care

INFJs generally have the following traits:

Intuitively understand people and situations
Idealistic
Highly principled
Complex and deep
Natural leaders
Sensitive and compassionate towards people
Service-oriented
Future-oriented
Value deep, authentic relationships
Reserved about expressing their true selves
Dislike dealing with details unless they enhance or promote their vision
Constantly seeking meaning and purpose in everything
Creative and visionary
Intense and tightly-wound
Can work logically and rationally - use their intuition to understand the goal and work backwards towards it
The INFJ is a special individual who needs more out of a career than a job. They need to feel as if everything they do in their lives is in sync with their strong value systems - with what they believe to be right. Accordingly, the INFJ should choose a career in which they're able to live their daily lives in accordance with their deeply-held principles, and which supports them in their life quest to be doing something meaningful. Since INFJs have such strong value systems, and persistent intuitive visions which lend them a sense of "knowing", they do best in positions in which they are leaders, rather than followers. Although they can happily follow individuals who are leading in a direction which the INFJ fully supports, they will very unhappy following in any other situation.

Possible Career Paths for the INFJ:

Clergy / Religious Work
Teachers
Medical Doctors / Dentists
Alternative Health Care Practitioners, i.e. Chiropractor, Reflexologist
Psychologists
Psychiatrists
Counselors and Social Workers
Musicians and Artists
Photographers
Child Care / Early Childhood Development

I find this other site interesting as well -
http://socionicsdating.com/personality_types.shtml

It actually talks about the typical mannerisms and appearance of the different types.

BTW - I'm a ENTP/ENFP, these tests are so damn accurate it's like someone took a look at my brain and put what they saw down into words. :p

I think i got the wrong personality, the descriptions says i'm modest and take close steps which is kind of the opposite. Amazing the physical description is quite true. Hehe, i care for people. I am an empathetic guy,lol.

*checks*
actually, INFP for me, not INFJ (although it's pretty close between them)

Yet according to the list of character traits, ISFP seems more accurate :confused: Guess it's only an indicator...

i say all of the above! :D

Hmm... i'm ESFJ - the "caregivers".
religious worker, yeah!
religious worker? cool :)

i'm an "idealist", "artist" and/or "protector".
Sort of more like an I(s/n)F(j/p) :confused:

What if you're too indecisive to even be able to answer the questions properly? At least half of mine were "in-between" :rolleyes:

yeah - those are pretty much opposites! You must be an exception to the typical ISFP. They do make some pretty big generalisations in the descriptions, and you can't really box yourself into any one personality type...

Incredible.

I'm also an ENTP. I'm studying two of the listed career paths (law and computer science), and discarded another I was seriously considering (psychology) in favour of one of those.

Truly me in a nutshell: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP_car.html


This brief description came from a variant of the test which my mum brought home from work (they use it to assist with employment selections):

"Quick, ingenious, good at many things. Stimulating company, alert
and outspoken. May argue for fun on either side of a question.
Resourceful in solving new and challenging problems, but may
neglect routine assignments. Apt to turn to one new interest after
another. Skillful in finding logical reasons for what they want."
