Myer-Briggs Type Indicator

This is by far one of the most interesting tests I have ever taken. I found it pretty extraordinary that a computer could tell me exactly what I am good at and how I could find the most success in a career. At first I was reserved to think that a machine would be able to control my life, but now I see how this can be a great resource in preparing me to fulfilling my life purpose.

Here are my results:

INFP:

- I prefer to focus on the inner world of ideas and impressions.

- I take in information from patterns and the pig picture, focusing on future possibilities.

- I tend to make decisions based primarily on values and on subjective evaluation of person-centered concerns.

- Lastly, I prefer a flexible and spontaneous approach to life and wish to keep my options open.

In these results I scored "clear" in all sections in regards to my clarity of preferences.

Some of my strengths,

- Helping others develop or learn

- Working on projects that are personally meaningful

- Expressing creativity through writing or visual arts

- Focusing on future possibilities for a person or a situation.

- Working at tasks that allow you to step back and see the big picture and how all the pieces fit together.

All of these are dead on. I love to serve others, and I tend to focus on things that are creative, optimistic, meaningful, and clear.

Work Environment:

- Private time for long periods without interruption.

- Work has meaning beyond the paycheck.

- Offers opportunities to work in harmony with others who share your values.

-Fosters cooperation and helping.

- Trusts people to work autonomously without close supervision.

I definitely see myself finding a career that is very flexible, and has a positive and meaningful aura to it. Money is not my main motivation.

Here are a couple of strategies that I need to overcome:

- Missed opportunities due to reluctance of taking necessary steps for networking.

- Hesitate to sell potential contributions during an interview.

- May not appear sufficiently task oriented.

- May put off decisions.

- Overwhelm myself with possibilities.

I agree completely, these are all things that I have struggled with in the past, but It is nice to see them written, along with suggested steps to overcome them.
