Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.
ENFPs generally have the following traits:
* Project-oriented
* Bright and capable
* Warmly, genuinely interested in people; great people skills
* Extremely intuitive and perceptive about people
* Able to relate to people on their own level
* Service-oriented; likely to put the needs of others above their own
* Future-oriented
* Dislike performing routine tasks
* Need approval and appreciation from others
* Cooperative and friendly
* Creative and energetic
* Well-developed verbal and written communication skills
* Natural leaders, but do not like to control people
* Resist being controlled by others
* Can work logically and rationally - use their intuition to understand the goal and work backwards towards it
* Usually able to grasp difficult concepts and theories
ENFPs are lucky in that they're good a quite a lot of different things. An ENFP can generally achieve a good degree of success at anything which has interested them. However, ENFPs get bored rather easily and are not naturally good at following things through to completion. Accordingly, they should avoid jobs which require performing a lot of detailed, routine-oriented tasks. They will do best in professions which allow them to creatively generate new ideas and deal closely with people. They will not be happy in positions which are confining and regimented.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ENFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.
Possible Career Paths for the ENFP:
* Consultant (doing that now)
* Psychologist (apply behavioral psychology in designing for usability)
* Entrepreneur (been there, doing that)
* Actor (amateur)
* Teacher (teach in MBA programs)
* Counselor (Coach people on job searching, resumes, portfolios, interviewing, etc.)
* Politician / Diplomat (I've never been praised for being diplomatic or politically savvy! So, no experience here other than president of the chess club and ASD and WWISA silicon valley chapters
* Writer / Journalist (wrote a 3 act musical and 2 one act plays that were produced, plus several published technical journal articles).
* Television Reporter (I have never been on TV)
* Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, or Computer Specialist (my career for the last 25 years)
* Scientist (My intended career when I went to college)
* Engineer (Software Engineer was my job title for a long time.)
