Certain personality types are better suited than others for certain purposes. Here is a look at what you are made to do based on MBTI personality type.

INTP

Plumbing the depths of what is knowable, providing clarity and making sense of complex epistemological issues. INTPs are attracted to complicated problems where they can really apply their intense and obsessive overthinking to good use. INTPs are haunted by conundrums and enigmas they cannot decipher but they will persist doggedly until they either succeed or die trying. For this reason, INTPs by virtue of their personality traits, put themselves in a better position than others to work out solutions to the most perplexing problems of both philosophical and theoretical nature. The vast amount of thinking they do provides them ample opportunity for forming ingenious insights society can benefit from.

INTJ

Devising schemes, systems and apparatus that improve efficiency or achieve a technical goal. INTJs are rather self-assured and decisive and as such may be well suited for leadership. At their best, they are very mature, diligent and disciplined. INTJs are good at strategizing and maximizing resources to accomplish their own ends and by extension can be of help in leading others to do the same. Their ability to plan and follow through makes them very reliable and they are able to grapple with unexpected complications with surgical competence. INTJs are who you can count on to draft an effective plan of action and lead others by pushing and challenging them to bring their “A” game.

ENTP

Stirring the pot and stimulating interesting discussion that cultivates better understanding between people. Because ENTPs are so comfortable with themselves, they can appear very confident and socially brave. It seems their minds are too busy formulating what they want to say to be worried about looking foolish. With ENTPs there is never a dull moment and they don’t even need a person to talk to, they could carry a conversation with a bush. Because their heads are always buzzing with ideas like an intellectual honeycomb, they are great at spit-balling and tossing out whatever enters their head both good and bad but probably always amusing.

ENTJ

Taking charge and bringing to life what others can only dream of. ENTJs are full of gumption and panache and they are compelled to go out and make a name for themselves. They are well equipped to rise to prominence in publicly visible positions of leadership that are at the cutting edge. They are comfortable in the captain’s chair and in such a position are able to make an impact pushing boundaries and taking intuitive leaps others would be too timid to try. ENTJs have the type of enthusiasm, competence, energy, vision and self belief to make possible what seems untenable.

INFP

Channeling their unique impressions and depth of feeling into inspiring works of art. The INFP is highly sensitive and as such, they are inclined to experience the range of emotions we all have in perhaps a more intense and vibrant way. Because they are so in touch with what they feel, they are likely better able to paint with the colors of their emotion beautifully nuanced expressions of art that capture the poetry of being human. The INFP is full of soul and feeling that is maybe more amplified than what most people feel and when they create, their creations are likely to tap into something deep and meaningful that resonates and enlightens us.
