Career Test

Today I did a career test during the MPU lesson. The results show that I am a INFJ which is the same as the MBTI personality test that I did last week. And inside the list of possible career paths for INFJs, there are my job options such as doctors, dentists and health care specialists. Thus I think the career test is useful to me as I can narrow down my choices and eventually make wise decisions on my future career pathway.

Percentage breakdown of my results:

Introverted (I) 71%

Intuitive (N) 64%

Feeling (F) 65%

Judging (J) 77%

INFJ- Protectors and Confidants

Career relevant traits

Have intuition to understand situations and people

• Strong ideals and principles

• Profound and complex

• Natural leaders

• Sensitive and compassionate towards others

• Service and future orientated.

• Place value on deep authentic relationships

• Are reserved about showing their true selves

• Only like dealing with details when they enhance or promote your goals.

• Always looking for the meaning and purpose in everything

• Visionary and creative

• Intense and highly strung

• Can work with logic and ration. INFJs use their intuition to understand the goal and work backwards towards achieving it.

Being an INFJ means I have a quest to live a life of meaning and purpose, and therefore my career needs to be more than a job, but has to be something that can live up to my principles and feel right. As an INFJ, my intuition is mixed with my strong values, I have a sense of knowing and therefore are natural and comfortable as leaders and work well as such, although I can work as a follower if I am taking directions from someone I fully support, otherwise I will not be happy in your situation.

In the outside world, I place a great deal of importance in having things in order, and having the best system for getting things done, whilst always reevaluating the priorities in my life. On the other hand I can operate internally with spontaneity. My intuition gives you great insight into things, and I am often right about something, even with little background information.

My penetrating insight into other people and issues, and the internal way I deal with this, means I don't easily share what information I obtain about others unless I choose to share it. I am deep and complex, usually private and therefore difficult to understand.

However, as an INFJ I am genuinely warm as I am complex, and I have a special place in my heart for those close to me, for which I can see and feel the depth of my caring. In tune to other's emotions I avoid hurting other's feelings. Often the perfectionist, I may wrestle with finding peace as I feel that there is more to improve my world and the lives of others around me. My high expectations means you strive to exist in a state of continual growth and I easily overlook my own accomplishments.

Like other INFJs, ,my workplace should be one of creatively and independence. I most likely have a natural affinity for art and the sciences, as well as being found in service orientated positions. I should avoid working with very detailed tasks, or else I will be in the other extreme, where I am working so meticulously I cannot see the big picture and can be highly critical of others who are not being as meticulous.
