Naturally, I was too busy ... um ... studying in college to spend time with a career counselor or take a Myers-Briggs test. Luckily, I managed to pick a career I pretty much love. Still, it was interesting to see what jobs Carl Jung & Co. would have picked for me.
Curious?
Click here to take the free, simplified version of the Myers-Briggs test. It has 72 yes or no questions on one screen; the real test has hundreds. (And it ain’t free.)
When you’re done, click “Score It!” and you’ll get a four-letter personality type. Mine is ISFJ, or Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging. (Judging? Who, me? No! But you should probably run a brush through your hair.)

After that, click on your “type description.” ISFJs are Guardian-Protectors, which means:
This is the Guardian least likely to seek positions of leadership since they may feel uncomfortable in the limelight. They are often seen as the people who do whatever is necessary to keep things running smoothly. They do their best to prevent problems. They can be attracted to fields in medicine, education or social service. In business, positions that combine some type of social interface with time alone are best for them.
Interesting. I do hate the limelight. (I was the fastest bride down the aisle ever.) And I like to keep everyone’s lives running smoothly, even if it means taking on more work than I should. I don’t work in any of the fields the mentioned, but I do volunteer in an elementary school. And “time alone”? Hello, story of my stay-at-home life!
Now it’s your turn! Take the test. (You can do it in less than five minutes.) Then tell me your personality type, whether the test right, and if you chose the right career path.
