Personality, tested

I think Peas was joking, but she took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, and found that she’d make a good assassin.
Cool.
I want to be an assassin.

The Myers-Briggs is a personality test that helps people track personal preferences. It was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers during World War II, and its criteria follow from Carl Jung's theories in his work Psychological Types.

I took it and I’m an ENFJ:

“ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation - ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

“ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

“NFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

"ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.”

Huh.
Can I be an assassin?
Apparently not:

“Myers-Briggs personality tests correlate you with careers where harmonious, warm and friendly relationships are required. You can sacrifice your self for your duty. You love structure and order not only in your personal life but also in the surrounding world. Some of the considered careers include:

“Psychologists, Personal Consultants, Politicians, Diplomats, Social Workers, Teachers, Religious Leaders, Sales Representatives, Human Resource Managers, Event Coordinators, Writers, Comedians, Artists, Journalists, Librarians, Program Designers, Translators, Small Business Executives, Sales Managers.”

Well, at least I’m doing what I’m supposed to do.
Take the test for yourself here.
