Will my type tell me what I am good at doing?
The MBTI tool
does not measure competencies or aptitude in the way a math test can
measure your math skills, for example.
None of the MBTI
questions is designed to determine how good you are at a
particular task.
A lot of research exists about
what careers people of particular personality types tend
to enter, however, as well as about what tasks each
personality type tends to enjoy.
INTPs and INTJs tend to
like the theoretical work of science, for example, and
ESFPs and ESFJs tend to enjoy tasks that involve helping
others in concrete ways.
Thus, the MBTI tool may give
you insight into what you enjoy. Often people who enjoy
their work do better at it. |
