YOU didn't really think I was being crass (defined: lacking in refinement/blundering) did you?
Everything below is very IMPORTANT
True Life:
During my senior year of college, we spent an entire week in one course working through our Myers Briggs Typology Indicator test/personality profile. While I thought I knew myself, the test did challenge me with a few of the questions. I was incredibly concerned with my answers, was I answering with full integrity or was I answering with what I thought would be best as an outcome. About an hour later I began totaling my results.
Apparently I am completely, 100%, no doubting, an ENFJ. The test declared that my answers boldly announced my ENFJ-ness. I cannot complain. When I began to read the descriptions and career opportunities for my personality I became a believer.My suggestion to everyone who has yet to take the test, try it! If you are a student, it is just extra support, a good foundation, for what you are studying and what you hope to be. If you have graduated and you love your job, then keep yourself accountable with your strengths and weakness'. If you are in a relationship, use this to help communicate with your significant other - how you need to be loved and how you can love.
I have never had a bad interview (Thank you Jesus!). I've had a few that I've wanted to disappear from, but none that are embarrassing or bad. I have used my Myers Briggs to refine my "skills" section of my resume, to refresh me before interviews (because I am better at communicating my strengths and how a "weakness" is something that I can "work on") from what I have learned from my ENFJ-ness (by the way, no one has a weakness, you just have things that can improve!)
If you are unhappy with your career or interviewing, use this to motivate and inspire you to relocate a confident YOU! Don't get lost within yourself, I promise EVERYONE will benefit from this test.
While you have to pay for the formal, ridiculously long, test - I have found a wonderful shorter one online that is accurate, just quicker! If you are not a believer scroll down and read mine. If you have spent more than 5 minutes with me then you will scroll back up here and take the linked test... because you'll see how it is ME! Let me know your Myers Briggs!
Do answer all questions to the best of your ability:
Enjoy getting to know you better! Take this opportunity! My results are below!
When you get your result "google search" the 4 letters and then find the

Portrait of an ENFJ - Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging
(Extraverted Feeling with Introverted Intuition)
The Giver
As an ENFJ, you're primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.
Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. ENFJ's motives are usually unselfish, but ENFJs who have developed less than ideally have been known to use their power over people to manipulate them.
ENFJ's are so externally focused that it's especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people. ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.
ENFJ's tend to be more reserved about exposing themselves than other extraverted types. Although they may have strongly-felt beliefs, they're likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing out the best in others. Because their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people, they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner, rather than as individuals.
Which is not to say that the ENFJ does not have opinions. ENFJs have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly. These beliefs will be expressed as long as they're not too personal. ENFJ is in many ways expressive and open, but is more focused on being responsive and supportive of others. When faced with a conflict between a strongly-held value and serving another person's need, they are highly likely to value the other person's needs.
The ENFJ may feel quite lonely even when surrounded by people. This feeling of aloneness may be exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal their true selves.
ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of ability to do many different things. They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. They are usually good at anything which captures their interest.
ENFJs like for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity. They have a tendency to be fussy, especially with their home environments.
In the work place, ENFJs do well in positions where they deal with people. They are naturals for the social committee. Their uncanny ability to understand people and say just what needs to be said to make them happy makes them naturals for counseling. They enjoy being the center of attention, and do very well in situations where they can inspire and lead others, such as teaching.
ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. Living in the world of people possibilities, they enjoy their plans more than their achievements. They get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.
ENFJs have a special gift with people, and are basically happy people when they can use that gift to help others. They get their best satisfaction from serving others. Their genuine interest in Humankind and their exceptional intuitive awareness of people makes them able to draw out even the most reserved individuals.
ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.
An ENFJ who has not developed their Feeling side may have difficulty making good decisions, and may rely heavily on other people in decision-making processes. If they have not developed their Intuition, they may not be able to see possibilities, and will judge things too quickly based on established value systems or social rules, without really understanding the current situation. An ENFJ who has not found their place in the world is likely to be extremely sensitive to criticism, and to have the tendency to worry excessively and feel guilty. They are also likely to be very manipulative and controling with others.
In general, ENFJs are charming, warm, gracious, creative and diverse individuals with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick. This special ability to see growth potential in others combined with a genuine drive to help people makes the ENFJ a truly valued individual. As giving and caring as the ENFJ is, they need to remember to value their own needs as well as the needs of others.
Every day I will have the opportunity to go to work and continually grow in relationships with my co-workers like a normal job, but most importantly (and the reason as to why I choose this job) I have the opportunity and capability to work with people who are not healthy, have no fitness and want to give themselves a better LIFE! There will be people who I will work with who are healthy and have their fitness at a certain level - it will be great to support their goals and teach them new things, but it is the "overweight" and "obese" culture in America, in the South, that I can really help. Did you know that almost 70% of Americans are OVERWEIGHT! From that 70%, 30% of those people believe that they are "normal." For them to think that they are okay in their weight is communicating that there is an image issue in America. Normal in America is overweight - is that what we want? What breaks my heart the most is the fact that almost 20% of elementary age children are obese - that's not even including the overweight percentage. If adults cannot make the healthy choices to avoid this issue, to change the way America understands health & fitness, then what is going to happen to these children? Do we want the next generation to have the list below by the fun age of 20?!
For those of you who are already content with your physical condition, yeah, congratulations! You are part of a small percentage and I encourage you to continue making "fitness and nutrition" a habit! Ladies: If you are ever looking for something fun online I like the "Tone It Up Girls" from California. They have some quick videos on their website and some good recipes. Their link is on the right side of my page as their picture.
