Top Best Careers According To Your Myers Briggs Personality Type (Part 4)
We rob ourselves of the opportunity for genuine happiness if we don’t take the time to learn all about ourselves. We spend a huge chunk of our waking lives in our careers. If we don’t live life as we’re supposed to be, we will wake up one day in deep regret. Even if you found some success, you will never feel like you have lived up to your true potential. You might end up starting over again.
That’s why it’s important to use tools like the Big 5 Personality Test or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to really know yourself. The earlier, the better. If used properly, these tools give prescriptive advice and useful insight that can help you figure out the best jobs out there for you.
This post is the final installment of our four-part series on the top best careers according to your Myers Briggs personality type. We have covered the other twelve MBTI types in our part 1, part 2, and part 3. Check it out if you didn’t see your type here!
