Personality Type: ENFJ You described your profile as: Very Accurate

Introduction Of the many factors that contribute to a successful future, an understanding of Personality Type is among the most useful. While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does remain constant is an individual's Personality Type - the innate way each person naturally prefers to see the world and make decisions. And although all individuals are unique, people of the same type share enormous similarities in the kinds of academic subjects and careers they find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying. By understanding the role Personality Type plays, people can gain important insights into their educational, career, and relationship needs. And because people of different types often communicate in very different ways, counselors and teachers can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student. Understanding you, Damion People like you are usually very warm, outgoing, and talkative. You make friends easily and are often popular and well liked because you are so enthusiastic and cheerful. You care deeply for your family and friends, and like to express your feelings through words and actions. People often say you have a gift for language and are able to articulate your strong beliefs and opinions with tact. You are quite empathetic and seem to just know what other people are feeling. Tension, fights, or conflict make you very uncomfortable so you try hard to please others and make peace between your friends. You hate direct confrontations and will "soften" your message or even avoid telling the entire hard truth if you feel it might hurt someone's feelings. While you have strong opinions, you sometimes back away from what you really believe in. You sometimes choose harmony over total and frank honesty. Because you get your feelings hurt easily, it may be hard for you to hear even the most constructive criticism. Creative and often imaginative, you may love learning, daydreaming, and entertaining others with your many artistic talents. You have a quick mind and are good at putting ideas and concepts together. Organized and productive, you get a blast of energy and satisfaction from getting projects done. You like to be in charge and can usually come up with a plan of action for even complicated projects. But you tend to become annoyed when someone tries to change or interrupt your plan. You like to know what's expected of you, and you care about what others think. You find it very hard to stay calm and objective when you're upset. You're a very sensitive person; you know first hand that it is both a blessing and curse to be so insightful about other people. Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ENFJ." Your Strengths and Blindspots: Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
