Personality Type Assessment

Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging

Your personality type profile is ENFJ - Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging.

You can at any time retake the assessment – most people find the assessment describes themselves very well. If you are not convinced it is your natural tendency, go back through and retake the assessment or look into working with a professional trained in the official version of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) test online. This happens more often in households where the parents or the current work role of the individual encouraged behaviors that were different than their personality type and have adapted well to this more unnatural state.

Also, if you are interested in going more in-depth or getting assistance on applying your findings to your personal and/or professional life, contact a trained professional in administering the full MBTI® assessment.

Keep in mind as you continue reading you will identify with most of the description. There may be some points that are not right on. The type profile is not meant to be a total comprehensive, all-encompassing description of your innermost thoughts, and behaviors. You should however recognize a great deal of yourself in it.

Do not typecast yourself in your personality type either. This will not tell you what you can and can not do. This is a tool in your career toolbox to use to go forward when making decisions in your personal and professional life. It will help you rearrange how you approach tasks and which ones you focus more energy on. We all must incorporate activities daily that are outside our personality type profile’s comfort zone.

Action Step:

Do more often the tasks in your personal and professional life that are in your personality type profile. The goal is to rearrange your days so you are performing in your personality type profile 80% of of the time and only 20% or less of the time operating in your unnatural zone. A huge benefit is you will have energy and be able to give your full focus and often operate very efficiently even when outside your natural personality type if you are only in this unnatural zone for a brief time.
