The document provides information about career options based on personality type as assessed by a Psychological Type Indicator (PTI). It discusses how an individual's preferences on four scales can influence their career satisfaction and suggests careers that are commonly suited to each of the 16 personality types. For ENFPs specifically, it outlines their common traits and lists counseling, teaching, consulting, clergy and other creative/social careers as options well-suited to their strengths in intuition, creativity and working with people. It also identifies industries and functions within industries that attract ENFPs.

hen considering your PTI report (or any other valid Type report), it is
important to understand that there are no right or wrong answers, or right
or wrong personality types. All types all are valuable and only the individual
concerned can decide his or her own Type. Personality Type has been used
extensively to improve the way people work together in organizations, and, on a
personal level, Type can be used for personal and career development, improving
relationships, navigating mid-life crises, and understanding stress.
The PTI reports preferred ways of behaving on four scales, each consisting of two
opposite poles. “Personal preferences” govern much of our own behaviour in our
lives and in our work. The easiest way to explain what is meant by “preference” is to
sign your name with your usual hand and then do the same thing with the other
hand. Writing with your usual hand feels easy and natural, while the other feels
awkward and difficult. The same applies to behaviour preferences – you can do it the
other way, but it feels less natural and you would probably need to practice for a
while before you could get the same result. You can imagine how difficult and tiring
it would be if you had to use your non-preferred hand all day. Carl Jung believed that
preferences are inborn, but that the extent to which we develop them is affected by
our environment and experience of life.
