myself. For example I would rather be a nurse over a doctor. I prefer this because a nurse is a job in
the medical field and you still get to help people out. As a doctor you have the pressure on you to
diagnose people with the correct thing and you have the most responsibility. I wouldn’t want to be the
person in charge of things

Public Administrator
Fashion merchandising
Nursing
Pediatric nurse
Pediatrician
Physical therapist
Discuss whether any of the careers identified are of interest to you and whether you
agree with the accuracy of the personality type identified for you.
-The careers identified for me, I do have interest in for the majority of them. I want to go to
school for nursing and that is something that was listed. The specific type of nursing that I want
to do is pediatric nursing. Before I decided I wanted to do nursing I was thinking about physical
therapy and that was listed there. I agree with the personality type given to me, it is accurate.
E. Examine the information regarding the personality test:
ESFJ’s sees problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest.
They serve excellently as protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary
education.
They are willing to provide service and expect the same from others.
Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, ‘motherly drive.’
They by nature “wear their hearts on their sleeves”
Not that the ESFJ is paranoid; “hyper vigilant” would be more precise.
ESFJ’s are easily wounded, and when wounded, their emotions will not be contained.
F. List two people that were listed and said to be identified with your personality type.
1.
2.
William J Clinton: Bill Clinton served as US president from 1993-2001. He was considered a new
democrat. He made welfare programs and the State Children's Health Insurance Program,
providing health coverage for millions of children. He has remained active in politics since he has
been president. I think th at he should be in the ESFJ personality type. He held a career where he was
in charge and a leader, he helped out children and was active with that, so the personality type fits
him.
Nancy Kerrigan: Nancy Kerrigan is a retired American Figure Skater. She won the Olympic silver medal
in 1994, the bronze Olympic medal in 1992, a two-time world medalist, and the 1993 US National
Champion.
G. Career Application
-An understanding of personality types can assist in career choice, work place productivity, and job/career
fulfillment. This is because you want to know why type of job suits you and in what type of environments
you would excel in. For example, if you are and introvert you would prefer not to be a doctor and if you
were an extrovert you would prefer not to be an engineer. Knowing your personality type will give you an
understanding of what career paths you should take. You wouldn’t want to choose the wrong career.
