Careers by personality type

The internet is awash with career personality tests that promise to give you some idea as to what job or sector would be most compatible with your personality traits. I will not attempt to do the same here as it is impossible to tell which path is best for you without knowing how strong the particular traits are – and even then, your personality would not be the only factor. Everyone’s habits, interests and skills change as time goes by – choosing a career just because you belong to a certain personality type at some point in your life would be somewhat irresponsible. That being said, there are some sectors and jobs that make best use … Read entire article »

What personality type am I?

What is my personality type? This is a question that most of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives. This article is dedicated to those readers who have already tried or would like to try to find out what personality type they or somebody else belong to. I will give you simple descriptions and directions for all four dichotomies that, when combined, result in 16 different MBTI personality types – this will make it easier for you to determine what personality type you (or your colleague, friend, partner etc.) are. In my opinion, such an approach is better than trying to guess which of the 16 MBTI types is the best match. // … Read entire article »

Being friends with an ISTP

ISTP personalities are usually very deep and interesting, living in the present and enjoying whatever life brings to them. Their key phrase is “everything can be changed”. A friendship with this personality type is like a rollercoaster – it can be really exciting and fulfilling one day, and a complete opposite the following day.

ISTP parents

ISTPs can be ideal parents from a child’s perspective – they are relaxed, flexible and opposed to any form of control. As this personality type loathes strict rules, this is reflected in their approach to parenting as well – the ISTP will probably give their children more freedom and opportunities to do whatever they like (within sensible limits) than any other parent would. Moreover, ISTPs tend to strongly dislike disciplining their children, though they will not hesitate to take appropriate measures if the behavior of a child becomes insufferable. It is likely that the ISTP parent will keep a certain distance between themselves and their children. ISTP personalities do not care much about influencing the … Read entire article »

ESTJ parents

ESTJs see parenthood as a natural duty and obligation and consequently take such a role very seriously. There are very few types that actually enjoy performing everyday tasks in a family environment and ESTJ is one of them. ESTJ parents aim to raise their children as responsible and independent adults, and see such an obligation as the top priority. According to ESTJs, parents and children have very specific and strictly defined roles. Therefore, it is very likely that the ESTJ family will have the traditional parent/child barrier – ESTJ will demand respect from their kids and will not tolerate any deviations from this rule. ESTJs are also unlikely to tolerate untidiness, inefficiency or ambiguity. For this particular … Read entire article »

ISTP personality

Few personalities can be as baffling and mysterious as ISTPs. Even though they belong to the SP group, ISTP personalities also have a dominant T trait, which pushes them towards mechanical rather than artistic fields, in contrast to ESFPs or ISFPs who are generally seen as representatives of SPs. Furthermore, ISTPs may not seem spontaneous or unpredictable at all. On the contrary, they can be quiet and passive for a very long period of time – however, as soon as an interesting project appears on the horizon, the ISTP “awakens” and unleashes all that energy, surprising everyone around them. Such a trait means that ISTPs are often seen as mysterious eccentrics, even though there is … Read entire article »
