Inspiration needed!




So I'm sat here once again thinking .... it's always dangerous I know but it needs to be done no and again. So I'm thinking the same thing as usual "what can I do with my myself?" and "where am I going?".

As my 30th birthday looms closer and my return to my homeland is in sight I need to start thinking about what job I will aim for when I get back, some people find this path easy, some people are well down that road but alas I have no idea, and so I'm sat watching crap on the t.v and looking at the internet I decide to have a go at a careers test, I start and it tends to be your common personality test, I've taken a few of these before but you never remember the results of take them to heart. Any way I hate those tests because when its multiple choice and they say answer truthfully, its bollocks because there's what you want to answer and then what you think would be a good answer hmmm anyway on I continue, I'm not pessimistic just realistic I think, that where people mistake me being grumpy but that's ok.

So i get the results and not completely unexpected basically describing me as nuts: Extraverted, iNuitive, Feeling, Judging


ENFJ - Pedagogue
 
ENFJ's are outstanding group leaders. They try hard to help others be the best that they can be. 5% of the total population.The ENFJ's optimistic outlook toward social relationships is a burden to them at times. When external conflicts affect a group, the ENFJ is likely to assume responsibility. Their ability to empathize then turns into a liability. ENFJ's, when over-identifying with the pain of others, will loose sight of their own concerns and interests. Their idealism can also be the cause of some distress when their assumptions are unable to weather the winds of reality. Fantasized relationships rarely translate into reality and even the best charismatic leader encounters unexpected resistance.
Like all NFs, ENFJ's will disassociate themselves from stressful situations in an effort to protect their sense of well-being and togetherness. The ENFJ, however, will repress the unpleasant side of life only to have to face it later in an intensified form when it explodes from its hiding place. It can manifest itself as fits of anger, sudden outbursts, or emotional explosions. Often the ENFJ's body will reflect pent-up stress by manifesting various physical symptoms that will erupt unexpectedly.


and then of course the list of possible jobs to follow:

entertainer
recruiter
artist
newscaster
writer/journalist
recreation director
librarian
facilitator
politician
psychologist
housing director
career counselor
sales trainer
travel agent
program designer
corporate/team trainer
child welfare worker
social worker (elderly...services)
interpreter/translator
occupational therapist
executive: small business
alcohol/drug counselor
sales manager

talk about diverse, and people wonder why I moan about stuff, apparently I'm suited to be an entertainer but also a librarian, how does that work?Though I remain to be enthusiastic (although I will take too much to heart and explode later) and take some of these ideas on board, of course I know every person is different but there must be a reason these tests were designed and I also understand how complicated life and the brain can be.

A picture from the Island of Mull (Scotland) I must return.
So where to next? well I took one of the ideas on board and decided to write this blog, nothing to exciting and I know so many people do it but its nice to try and get some thoughts down on "paper"?  but a start is a start as they say and I'll even attach one of my many photo's just from a pleasant appearance.
