I'm ENFJ, unfortunately I couldn't find the link where it would tell me what I'd be best in. I know ultimately I want Trauma.

I'm an ENFJ...and apparently I'd be more suited to being a nun, artist, counseler, teacher and doctor than being a nurse...Scary
I'm a student, but I'm planning on NICU, maybe PICU when I graduate...

Don't worry about the numbers. I think it just means what percent of that particular personality part you are. So if you are 95% sensing, you would be more sensing than maybe a 32% introverted. I am also an ISFJ. So how do you like cardiac nursing? Krisssy

Mine was ENFP- it stated that I hate bureaucracy(sp?)-which is true(always trying to "stick it to the man") and that I fall within the "champion idealist" category, meaning that advocacy is big with me. It also says I like a fast pace and am easily bored(also true). I work in the OR.

This is really cool! I'm an ENFJ and I want to go into ER/Trauma nursing.

For those who want a link to the site that explains nursing specialties and personality type- this is a good one:

I'm an INTJ, also. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know enough about my options to make a decision, yet. What makes you feel so strongly towards NICU?

Anyone else an INTJ? Have you decided where you'd like to work and why?

Thanks!

This is fun! I came out an ISFJ - I have taken it before, but I cannot remember what the results were the first time. However, I have to say there are very few if any similarities between myself and Mother Theresa, if only we all could be as caring as she!!

Is there a place to find out what specific jobs within the nursing field fit with the above personality type?

I'm an iNFj, like a lot of you; it said <2%, did it not? So, I'm thinking, we're all in Nursing, yes? So, maybe we picked the RIGHT field, after all! (This was truly the first thing that I have ever read that really helped me to understand why I am the way I am).......Thanks for the link!!!! Oh, BTW, I work med-surg, may complain a little more than I should, but, at he end of the day; GLAD TO BE A MED-SURG RN (at least for now)

Less than 1% of the population are categorized as INFJ... and I'm one of them.

I am currently starting my pre-requisites, but my dream is to work on L & D. I think my personality would be good over there because I have a natural ability to be an encourager and women who are in labor definitely need that. However, I am also open to NICU, Pediatrics, Oncology, and so on. I think I will discover during clinicals what is the best fit for me.
