i thought we could have a thread where you could give your opinions on which job fits which type etc.
to start off i ll give a link even though is not directly connected with MBTi but you ll sure find fast the pattern

So my personal opinion is

INTP: psychologists, philosophers (even though its a real job), archtect
ENTP:politician

So my personal opinion is
INTJ: scientist

I'm sorry, I'd have to disagree 100%..scientists are stereotyped as being unorganized, and open-minded..and I know not all are like that, but scientists have to be open to anything, any possibilities that might occur where they can't be caught off guard..

There are many many types of scientists.

I don't know for sure what Edison was but trying 1400 filaments to solve the practical problem of creating dependable light is certainly a Sensing approach. and very organized.

Compare that to Einstein. No practical application, no real experimentation..."E...=MC2" Intuition, usually also seen as Perceiving, one might surmise...

Nice eldanen, but personnally I would have put Revolutionary instead of Anarchist.

Its a more general term and I feel it fits my type and me.

In case you wanted a serious answer, the biggest similarities are by function pairs--ST, SF, NT, NF, although there are patterns within individual types as well.

ST: production management, physical science, engineering, emergency personnel, tax and other detailed law careers, small business owners--handling reality

SF: customer service, nursing, teaching (especially younger children)--any career where you're meeting the individual needs of people

NF: counseling, management consulting, communications, training and development, human resources, religious careers

NT: strategic planning, engineering, theoretical science, management, IT

These are just general patterns borne out by stats on thousands of people. And yes, there's been research on why Feeling types settle for lower pay...and anyone can do anything if they are motivated to master the content/skills and work with a lot of people who aren't a whole lot like them...
