jung personality test

To be truly successful in any career, you must first understand yourself.

I took the Jung Personality test and it determined that my personality type is: ESTJ.

Extroverted (E) 65.85% Introverted (I) 34.15%
Sensing (S) 55.81% Intuitive (N) 44.19%
Thinking (T) 52.94% Feeling (F) 47.06%
Judging (J) 78.13% Perceiving (P) 21.88%

Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

According to this test, I am:
organized, group oriented, focused, conventional, leader, emotionally stable, anal, attention seeking, planner, realistic, fearless, responsible, finisher, decisive, norm following, respects authority, punctual, hard working, stiff, self confident, thinks rules and regulations are important, follows the rules, clean, outgoing, social, content, does not like being alone, normal, regular, does not like weird or strange people / things - intolerant of differences, strict, disciplined, aggressive, assertive, content, happy, proper, formal, strict with self, meticulous, strong sense of purpose

And
, my favored careers include:
executive, CEO, supervisor, business consultant, manager, strategist, financial planner, business person, office manager, public relations manager, international business specialist, business analyst, management consultant, operations manager, loan officer, lawyer, marketing, sports management, government employee, investment banker

While my disfavored careers include:
poet, artist, songwriter, musician, novelist, art therapist, theatre teacher, art curator, film editor, video game designer, photo journalist, travel writer, actor, record store owner, camera operator, art historian, music teacher

I am most surprised by the careers on the disfavored list. I love to write and have always loved poetry and art. My father is an artist, my fiancee a budding video game designer and my brother a filmmaker. I suppose I have known that those careers weren't the best fit for me, but to be on my disfavored list?

Out of all the careers on my favored list, I was intrigued by sports management. I have often thought I could use my business skills to manage the talents of other people. In the past, I have always wanted to manage artists but maybe athletes is the way to go. I do enjoy exercise and appreciate athletic talent and strength and the more I think as I write this, the more I realize that this may be a viable career option to consider. I could be like Jerry Maguire?!

Take the test for yourself! And, once you take the test, visit this page to view your results.

  1. I don't like this test after answering only a few questions I could tell right away what it is going to say about me. I would prefer a test that asked more specific questions where the answers might surprise you.

    results: INFP(duh)
