Of the many factors that contribute to a successful education and subsequent
career, 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 in
which each person naturally prefers to see the world and make decisions. All
individuals are unique, but people of the same type share large 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 advisors
can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student.
Understanding you, Victoria

People like you are very outgoing, enthusiastic and spontaneous. You love meeting
new people and probably have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Since
you are always on the go and seem to have boundless energy, you are usually up
for any new experience and especially love surprises! You are very curious, ask a lot
of questions, and are fascinated by people or things that are out of the ordinary.
Because of your vivid imagination, you have many ideas a day and are great at
finding creative ways of solving problems or overcoming obstacles. You love to talk,
especially about fun or interesting possibilities. People enjoy your unusual sense of
humor and find you fun to be around. You pride yourself on your uniqueness.
You are also a sensitive and empathetic person who often has accurate insights
about others. Your friends know you are devoted and affectionate and that you feel
things very deeply, even if you don't always show it. But you may also take criticism
personally and find your feelings are easily hurt. When you have a lot of details to
remember or projects to manage, you may become overwhelmed or discouraged. In
fact, your curiosity often distracts you from the more routine parts of projects and
you probably find that keeping organized is one of the hardest things for you to do.
Making decisions is also a struggle because there are so many interesting options
calling to you at once. Whatever career you choose, it has to be something you
believe in or you won't be able to stick with it for very long.
Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ENFP."
