When it comes to choosing a career it is greatly beneficial to know your personality type so that you can identify your natural strengths along with the potential challenges you may face in work situations. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) Test helps illuminate these characteristics, allowing you to better develop a stratagem for choosing a career that will best-fit your personality type. ENFJ careers include executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants. ENFJ’s tend to be sincere, compassionate and approachable individuals who are sensitive to the feelings, desires, and stimuli of others. They naturally see the potential in others and have a natural desire to help others reach that potential. This is the essence of the Extroverted Feeling with Introverted Intuition (ENFJ) MBTI® test personality type. (Myers, CPP. 1998)
