Should I make career decisions
based on my MBTI type?

 

Career decisions are usually most sound when based on a number of factors—for example:

  • Interests
  • Personality
  • Skills
  • Values
  • Lifestyle Needs

Knowing your MBTI type can help you in career decision making, but it should not be the only factor you consider.

Research shows that people of each personality type tend to choose particular career fields and are likely to avoid certain career fields.

You may want to consult the latest career books published on the subject or work with a career counseling professional who is certified to use the MBTI instrument to learn more about type and career choices.
