How has your personality type influenced your life--your career? your relationships? your plans for the future?

I'm an INT/FJ, 4w5. My introverted (I) nature fits well with my career in editing. I like spending time alone contemplating ideas (5) and then writing about them--reflecting (I) on the big picture (N) to gain an understanding of how people "work" (T/F) and constructing (J) my own (4) theories and models.

In relationships, my IT nature as a female is very opposite energy from the norm and provides for some interesting challenges (being less emotionally demonstrative/open to discussing feelings than perhaps the "typical" female).

    well, being INF/TP, 8w9, I would say MBTI wouldn't have me working as a Recruiter... but my overall focus has been education as a career

    my Eightness helps a lot in dealing with staff and getting things done... I've had other 'higher' positions but that is less important than you think it would be for my Enneagram type...

    where are you getting the extra numbers from? I'm not familiar with them.

      The numbers refer to the Enneagram: www.enneagraminstitute.com/

      the "w" refers to the wing (the number on the other side of your primary number type which adds dimension to your primary type)

        I am going to have to explore this site more. I won't agrue that I'm a helper though. I work as a Holistic Health Practitioner/Massage Therapist and am finishing my schooling In Traditional Chinese Medicine. There's no doubt I enjoy working with others and helping when I can.
