I feel like my journey of life has only been passed halfway at this point. I feel like my future has only been painted halved of my potential if I don't dare to make some changes.
I've been asking people who know me, people who I trust, what am I good at? It's a bit difficult to direct me to an exact point of career, but they all comes to the same conclusion: that I should deal with people. Too broad, eh?
According to Jung personality type, I am the ENFJ: Extrovert Intuitive Feeling Judging. The Idealist. Here comes:
ENFJ Personality Extraordinary People Skills
The ENFJ personality is so instinctively talented with people skills that the ENFJs can get people to do almost anything they want. ENFJs get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them. When faced with a conflict between a strongly-held value and serving another person's need, they are highly likely to value the other person's needs.
The above are just some of the ENFJ factors that comprise you list of personality traits which you can use to find a career that is a natural fit.
Extraverted with Intuition, Feeling and Judging your career personality profile would include the following natural tendencies among others:
- Breadth of interests
- Grasp of possibilities
- Warmth and sympathy (with emphasis on relationships)
- Ability to organize
- Natural people orientation
- Drive for harmony
- Strong imagination
- Energy and compassion
There are more natural traits making up the ENFJ self personality profile but those above indicate a natural ability for careers that require organization, expressiveness, and an interest in people’s emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. The ENFJ orientation for people, their desire for harmony, and their imagination often attract them to religious professions, counseling, psychology or teaching.
The ENFJ personality type will naturally move toward careers that allow you to establish and maintain warm and supportive interpersonal relationships with co-workers, clients, customers; work that is done in an environment where expectations are clear, contributions are appreciated, and personal and professional growth and development are encouraged. Also, work that gives the ENFJ a variety of activities but allows you to work in a relatively orderly and well-planned manner, and work that is done in an environment that is free from interpersonal conflicts and ongoing tension will provide natural fulfillment for the ENFJ personality type.
