Based on Myers-Briggs Personality Type, I am a ISJP ( introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger ). Learning this had not only helped me land a career that is fulfilling and satisfying but also made me see other people in different light. I'm curious to know how has your personality impacted your career and the choices you've made. If you want to learn more about personality types, I came across these sites:

Interesting!

I took the first one, and I'm an "ENFP" ( extrovert, intuitive, feeler perciever.) The description is pretty accurate! I wonder how it will play into my actual jov decisions when I make them...

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]People of this type tend to be: enthusiastic, talkative, and outgoing; clever, curious, and playful; deeply caring, sensitive, and gentle; highly innovative, creative, optimistic, and unique; adaptable and resourceful but sometimes disorganized.

! I took the quiz imbedded within the second article, and came out with the same results!! haha wow, I was skeptical.

Here I am...

(Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver)[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]People of this type tend to be: quiet, reserved, and kind; deeply passionate, sensitive, and easily hurt; loving and dedicated to those close to them; creative, original, and imaginative; curious and flexible in small matters; nonconforming.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The most important thing to INFPs is their deeply held beliefs and living in harmony with their values[/FONT]

ESFJ
(Extravert, Sensor, Feeler, Judger)People of this type tend to be: active, friendly, and energetic; outgoing, affectionate, and talkative; concerned about others and careful to be polite and cooperative; realistic, literal, and conscientious; highly sensitive and easily hurt; organized, responsible, and conventional.
The most important thing to ESFJs is their relationships and helping people in real, and practical ways.

This describes me pretty accurately :amuse:

I am ENTJ. People of this type tend to be: friendly, strong willed, and outspoken; honest, logical and demanding of selves and others; driven to demonstrate competence; creative with a global perspective; decisive, organized, and efficient.

Here are mine:

Chief Executive Officer
Network integration specialist
Management consultant
Politician/political manager
Franchise owner
Corporate finance attorney
Personnel financial planner
Real estate developer
Marketing executive
Intellectual property attorney
Investment consultant/planner
Economic analyst
Chemical engineer
Educational consultant
Judge

I am going for a complete career change here in about a year, so this is kind of interesting, especially since I was thinking of going into finance. I don't know about that bout of politics though. I would probably find that too sleazy.

People at work jokingly refer to me as the slave driver and about how I crack the whip with not just my subordinates but my seniors also.... It's kind of weird to read the above. I wonder how accurate this stuff is.

Hello ENTJ buddy!
I've actually had a couple of jobs on that list already. And now I'm a real estate agent who's saving up to do a small residential development.
