Should I make career decisions
based on
my MBTI type?
Career
decisions are usually most sound when based on a number
of factors—for example:
- Interests
- Personality
- Skills
- Values
- Lifestyle Needs
Knowing your MBTI type can
help you in career decision making, but it should not be
the only factor you consider.
Research shows
that people of each personality type tend to choose
particular career fields and are likely to avoid certain
career fields.
You may want to consult the latest career
books published on the subject or work with a career
counseling professional who is certified to use the MBTI
instrument to learn more about type and career
choices. |
