The Personality of a...

With my recent quest of finding a job that I would love, I've realized that many employers are requesting Personality type testing nowadays. I completed another "test" today and as anxious as I am to hear back from the employer, I am also curious to know what they say about me in general.

Tonight I went out and took a couple of random internet free tests. Considering you get what you pay for, I did find it quite relevant to who I am. Now I only hope this employer that I REALLY want to work for sees me as a good fit as well.

Here are some of the highlights. The results were quite extensive, but I won't paste all of the feedback.

Here is one of the places I found this particular "test" :

And my results:
Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging
Profile: ENFJ

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturing tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are those whom we associate organization and decisiveness. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most Feelers in general, they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people.

Extraverted Feeling rules the ENFJ's psyche. As extraverts, their contacts are wide ranging. Face-to-face relationships are intense, personable and warm, though they may be so infrequently achieved that intimate friendships are rare.

Introverted iNtuition
ENFJs are blessed through introverted intuition with clarity of perception in the inner, unconscious world. Dominant Feeling prefers to find the silver lining in even the most beggarly perceptions of those in their expanding circle of friends and, of course, in themselves. ENFJs are continually looking for newer and better solutions to benefit their extensive family, staff, or organization.

Extraverted Sensing
Sensing is extraverted. ENFJs can manage details, particularly those necessary to implement the prevailing vision. Something to be bought can be had for a song; the same something is invaluable when it's time to sell.

Introverted Thinking
Introverted Thinking is least apparent and most enigmatic in this type. In fact, it often appears only when summoned by Feeling. At times only in jest, but in earnest if need be, Thinking entertains as logical only those conclusions which support Feeling's values. Introverted Thinking is frequently the focus of the spiritual quest of ENFJs. These essences of inner thinking are the mysteries of Deity for which this great Feeler's soul searched.

ENFJs are Idealists. They have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials.

In whatever field they choose, Idealists consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved. Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types,

Idealists are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face. And they do not hesitate to speak out and let their feelings be known. Bubbling with enthusiasm, Idealists will voice their passions with dramatic flourish, and can, with practice, become charismatic public speakers. This verbal ability gives Idealists a good deal of influence in groups, and they are often asked to take a leadership role.

Idealists tend to be well developed or well rounded individuals. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Idealists also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, feeling closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.


Idealist women tend to be very romantic. They love to give and receive tokens of affection, such as an original poem, a hand carved box, or an item which reminds them of some shared experience. Men often appreciate their compassion and empathy along with their belief in others. When dating, they hope they’ll get to know each other through deep conversation.
