An awful lot of N's switch careers or career focus every 5 years or so...


Wow! I suppose that's me as my first career is teaching-related and now I'm currently seeking for a different one!

Type: ISTP?

Major: It was originally psychology before I changed it to Accounting.

I enjoy writing more than anything, but I think I'd rather it remain a hobby, not become work.

Job: Looking for one. I'm still about 2-3 years away from graduating.

So, how am I faring in accounting? Not too great. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me right now, but I know I'll learn it eventually and really enjoy it once I'm proficient at it.

out of curiosity, i gathered all the data so far and collected and organized it into a spreadsheet. well, besides a few results i accidentally deleted. haha sorry. it was a handful of ENFPs, i'm sure they were ridiculously scattered anyway ;)

if anyone would like to see, here is a link to download it.

it's an .xls file - Excel - but i made it in open office, which is excellent and available fo free.

Type: ENFP.
Major: Law.
Job: I don't really have a job, I spend a fair amount of time volunteering though.
Career: If I stay in Ireland I hope to become a barrister (specialising in Irish constitutional law, perhaps) and maybe eventually a judge. If I emigrate, I hope to become an attorney. All of that is a long way off yet, though.

I'm INFJ... have had very close to ENFJ test results, so close that one test typed me as ENFJ... under stress have tested INFP...

My degree is in Early Childhood Education... I have taught a little over 4 years...not sure if I"m going back for a Master's degree due to very poor pay (I can start off in unskilled positions making more) or not.... :/

Sorry... ranted a bit.

Early Childhood Education :D

Prospective career: Researcher, consultant, professor, and/or lecturer in a field that may include: neuroscience, psychology, personality psychology, personality neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience.

Major: Animal Science
(mistake- hated it)

Current career: Bodyguard (Executive Close Protection)
(Love it. Love the travel, the lifestyle, the lots of time off aspect of the job. But it has taken me many years of changing my mind and doing all sorts of jobs/ bumming around to get to this point!)

Future career: Well I love writing and I get lots of time in this line of work to pursue my writing. So providing I can actually stick to one piece of work and finish it and get something published one day, then maybe I will be a writer.

Or a pilot. I quite fancy being a pilot one day. :D
