Personality Types (everyone should take this) ^^

[James_Fryman]

Your Type is
INFP
Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
56 62 38 44

If its accurate or not doesnt matter, this fits me pretty well but not compleatly, Then again people always think of themselves differently than others do.

"INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. When an INFP has adopted a project or job which they're interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for them. Although they are not detail-oriented individuals, they will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for their "cause".

that however is 110% true. hee hee hee

INFJ here too. I'd say most of what was said applied to me, particularly this:

INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives.

I've been known to annoy people before by looking for better solutions to doing something than the way that was given to me. Even if I'm not allowed to change the system of how things are done in that situation, I still plan it out in my mind anyway, even if I can never implement it.

I've taken this before and I've gotten then INFJ

which is very accurate for me.

i think this kind of test is pretty cool.

Lol, it kinda does give some suggestions:

Possible Career Paths for the INFJ:

* Clergy / Religious Work

* Medical Doctors / Dentists
* Alternative Health Care Practitioners, i.e. Chiropractor, Reflexologist

Wow, only one of those interests me on a conceptual level (teacher), but the realities deter me. Looks like Network Administration is still the (fuzzy) heading for now. Actually I'm discovering I kinda like math, then poking around I found that generally speaking a BS in Math doesn't get you much, you need to go for the PhD (career wise).

The thing that concerns me is the amount of people who have been on this road (network engineering and administration) for years who so desperately want to get out of it. Check out this thread on another forum for a few examples, such as:

I started my working life as a professional photographer and I wish I'd stayed in it.....
:-(

I was actually pondering this over the last 7 - 8 weeks. I was so fed up with bashing my head against stuff that just refused to work. I thought there has to be something else more full-filling.

If I had the chance I'd stop it tomorrow - I have never worked is such a boring and brain numbing industry. It bores the living pants of me - the only reason I am in it was because of I sort of fell into it. I have quite good qualifications - [ not that they mean much now as they are quite old ] in other departments and when I inform other people they are quite confused as why I do what I do. Still that's life.

...Still havent ruled out quitting IT, it's not as exciting or interesting to me as it used to be...

On the other hand, there are still a few supporters still so I'm not quite suicidal yet...

I would like to work in the Fire Service in Operational Support doing various support roles, to be honest I dont ever really want to think about not working in IT, I wouldnt know what to do with myself if I wasnt.

Apart from that, possibly do what I do now but in Europe - maybe France or Spain. I think anywhere where the Government don't steal so much from you while giving you so little back. (Sorry, I know that's not technically quiting IT, but it's quiting the bad aspect of IT + School + UK way of working!)

Thinking about this some more and I'm pretty sure I'll never leave IT. Actually really enjoy this job, don't think I'd be good at anything else.

So Far I've been a sparky, and CNC operator for an areospace company ... I would really like to stay in IT but I'm back at college on a wed evening retraining to be a sparky. in the mean time I'm working through the server 2008 exams.

I can't see myself leaving IT willingly, I enjoy the area too much...

I am happy where I am and with what I do - seriously!

Everyday, I am going to work with joy and at the end of the day I am returning home with satisfaction of the job well done.
Of course I have numerous little reasons to complain about my job but anyway I love IT.
