I took the Meyers Briggs personality test recently and was pleasantly surprised with my results. According to the test I am personality ENFJ, the Protagonist. People with ENFJ personality types are natural leaders and firmly believe in others. This personality type only makes up 3% of the population and some of the most influential people in history and pop culture are ENFJ's. As a person who will be soon graduating next March, I though that knowing my Meyers Briggs personality will give me an advantage, set me apart from others, and will help me develop in my career.
A few famous ENFJ's
Here are 4 ways my Meyers Briggs will help me develop in my career.
1. I don't let myself stress out
As a full-time student who works nearly full-time hours I have a lot on my plate, but I don't let it get to me. The way I see it is, the situation that I'm currently in won't last for very long and the potential for success is what keeps me going. Having balance and knowing my limits allow me to cope with stress a lot easier than others and of course not overwhelming myself and making time for family and friends.
2. My strengths over power my weaknesses
Utilizing my strengths will definitely help further me in my career. I consider my weaknesses as also strengths, because acknowledging my weaknesses will help me learn and improve on them.
Some of my strengths as an ENFJ are:
- Tolerant
- Reliable
- Charismatic
- Altruistic
- Natural leader
Weaknesses:
- Overly idealistic
- Too selfless
- Too sensitive
- Fluctuating self-esteem
- Struggle to make tough decisions

As an ENFJ my aspiration in life is to connect with others, spread knowledge, and inspire. What motivates me in my career and in life is producing meaningful work and making the world a better place. I am always passionate about the work that I do. I would like to leave the world knowing that I have helped someone and have inspired them to do something great with their lives or career.
4. I feel what others are feeling
I'm a very intuitive person and often put myself in other people's shoes. I enjoy getting to know the people I'm surrounded with at work and at school. Learning about their life and understanding what makes them tick is fun for me and makes for a better working environment. Often times I find myself sticking up for others when I know that they can't. Working in retail for most of my life and for really crappy companies, I have seen the worst in people. I am concerned about ethical business practices and teaching others what is acceptable.

As a soon to be graduate, I feel that these characteristics from my Meyers Briggs will help set me apart from my competition in the professional field. As an ENFJ I hope that I can make a difference in this world by becoming a leader by inspiring others and using my skills to the best of my abilities.
