just realized i'm about to be a senior! so many classes left to take!!! but yeah i was looking at career options and stuff cuz i guess that'll determine what i study in grad school. then i was wondering what career was right for me... i thought i made a mistake switching my major to biochemistry, but i think i might be a biochemist one day... HRMMM! anyways i was thinking is this career right for me?! and so i took a personality test to find out! (see results below, i italicized what i thought was wrong, lol) but anyways i was glad to see "research" as a career option on there cuz everything else was just sounding so wrong for me.
INFJ (The Author)
The agreeable nature and quiet personality of INFJ's makes them particularly vulnerable to hurt feelings. Distress within close relationships can shatter the INFJ. Like all NFs under stress, INFJ's feel fragmented and lost — as if they are acting out a part rather than simply being themselves. This disassociation can be related to physical symptoms for the INFJ, whether real or imagined. Feeling split off from their physical natures, INFJ's may become virtually immobilized by repressed feelings.
Although INFJ's may feel like remaining still and stationary until the chaos and confusion of a stressful situation dissipates, it would be best for them to actively sort out their needs from others. Being excessively cooperative and agreeable, the INFJ has a tendency to adopt values and beliefs of others as their own. When external conflicts grow, so does the INFJ's sense of personal disharmony. Disassociating themselves from others takes a great deal of effort for the INFJ.
Careers
This lists represent careers and jobs people of your type tend to enjoy doing. The job requirements are similar to the personality tendencies of your personality type. It is important to remember that this is not a list of all the jobs possible. And it is very important to remember that people can, and frequently do, fill jobs that are dissimilar to their personality... this happens all the time...and sometimes works out quite well.
