Careers Class:  (Keirsey Temperament Page)

Connecting Personality Types With Careers and Jobs The lists on the right represent careers and jobs people of various types tend to enjoy doing. The job requirements are similar to the personality tendencies of the various types. It is important to remember that these do not list all the jobs possible under the headings. And it is very important to remember that people can, and frequently do, fill jobs that are dissimilar to their personality... this happens all the time...and sometimes works out quite well. Why then should we even consult these lists?The lists are just another tool to give you ideas about careers and jobs you might enjoy. Use the lists as tool not a box!
