Personality Types

A few weeks ago in one of my graduate classes, we were discussing learning styles of adults. In this discussion, we also talked about personality types. So tonight, I was working on my final paper for that class and got a little distracted and decided to go to this website http://www.kisa.ca/personality/. Below are my results, which I thought was very interesting. I thought I would share with you guys to see what you think. Does this really describe my personality? I'm a little leery about the athletic trait.

ESTJs generally have the following traits:
-Natural leaders - they like to be in charge
-Value security and tradition
-Loyal
-Hard-working and dependable
-Athletic and wholesome
-Have a clear set of standards and beliefs which they live by
-No patience with incompetence or inefficiency
-Excellent organizational abilities
-Enjoy creating order and structure
-Very thorough
-Will follow projects through to completion
-Straight-forward and honest
-Driven to fulfill their duties


ESTJs have a lot of flexibility in the types of careers that they choose. They are good at a lot of different things, because they put forth a tremendous amount of effort towards doing things the right way. They will be happiest in leadership positions, however, because they have a natural drive to be in charge. They are best suited for jobs which require creating order and structure.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ESTJ. 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 ESTJ:
-Military leaders
-Business Administrators and Managers
-Police / Detective work
-Judges
-Financial Officers
-Teachers
-Sales Representatives


Okay, back to school work for me! Just think, this time next week, I will be finished with these darn college classes!!!
