Things I have learned from the various career tests and personality tests

This is a post on the things that I have learned from the various career tests and personality tests that I have taken lately to try and gain perspective on what I would like to do with my future and, hopefully finding a position that I can enjoy and keep for awhile. I've found some things that should have been common sense but were not and other things that I didn't really give a lot of thought to before. I am an ISFJ, on the myer briggs personalities.

• A communicator with a need to make a difference in the lives of others
• Strong sense of right and wrong
• Good at organization, dependability, detail
• Interested in ideas, concepts

• Helping people with problems
• Thinking deeply
• To understand why and How
• Want to know the significance and details
• diagnosing and analyzing
• Concerned with innovation and documentation

• Managing style is self-directed and systematic

• Value questioning and compliance
