personality test

my type: ESFJ

Extravert(44%) Sensing(38%) Feeling (50%) Judging (11%)


evaluation: i have done this before. i think the result was similar to this time. i don't like being alone sometimes, science fiction, and strange things and people acting weird. i like to know how the work is progressing. i'm not organized well, but i like organizing. Also, i'm an outgoing person, but i'm a little bit ashamed to present in front of people. 

For favored career, it shows wedding planner, social worker, pediatrician, public health employee, kindergarten teacher, business consultant, nurse, human resources manager, office manager, etc. Also, it shows which part i'm stronger and less such as i'm stronger in Extravert.

Before taking this test, i didn't know what type of person i am and what kind of jobs i need to look for. However, after taking it, i could know better about me and favored jobs. Kindergarten teacher has been my dream since i was young, however i'm studying in elementary education. it makes me  think about double major again.

Changing my personality is kind of difficult, but i will try to improve the less parts of my personality.
