Hi Everyone..I thought it would be fun if we took the Myers-Brigg personality test and shared with everyone what our specialty is or what we hope to do (if not yet a nurse or want to change jobs). If you're confused maybe this can help. For example...as an INFP (introverted, intuitive,feeling, peceiving) I would be more suited to work in mental health, public health or oncology. I would not work out so well in the ER, OR or medical surgical. I knew all this but the description just makes me more confident that my intuition about myself was probably right on. HERE'S ANOTHER INTERESTING LINK TO CHECK OUT INFO ABOUT YOUR TYPE!!!! :)
I think it helps to get some insight to your natural temparament and to keep it in mind in choosing your work setting. I know it's not the end all and be all but it's a tool that can be used and it could be helpful. I hope others find this at least a little hepful.
I posted this before but it was moved to the breakroom so maybe this time it wll get a better response. I love this forum..you guys are great!

I'm a nursing student starting my pre-reqs. 32 y/o, ex military officer, currently a stay at home dad. I'd say the assessment was right on the money. I'm planning on working in the NICU.
mine was ISTJ. what area would be appropiate for me to specialize ?
my guess....nursing management. you can find out more by going into a search engine and type ISTJ nurs. it will bring you to a sight something like ss.edu or something like that. this brings up top rated careers for you...careers that would make you happy. hope this helps
iNFj- I am right were I need to be. This explains why I stay wher I am and never put in for that desk job-because I really don't want it. I am the counselor just like Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter (yuck), Mel Gibson, Mother
Theresa and our own Christvs.
P.s. Enjoyed this thread more than any.Thanks for the great idea.
Provider Guardians take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, but they are also the most sociable of all the Guardians, and thus are the great nurturers of established institutions such as schools, businesses, churches, social clubs, and civic groups
Maybe I should have stuck with teaching...I used to be an elementary Ed teacher...good thing there's lots of teaching in nursing;)
Providers are skilled in maintaining teamwork among their helpers, and are also tireless in their attention to the details of furnishing goods and services
Yup..that's me...I was a darn good waitress:lol2:
Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them
Sometimes I'm afraid to post because I care about what you all think of me I really do much better in person.
This same characteristic causes them to be good in many people-to-people jobs, as teachers, clergy, coaches, social workers, office receptionists, and so on.
Good thing nursing is a people to people job! Guess I'll do OK as long as there are people there..LOL
I am still in school but want to pursue ED, OR, ICU, CCU or even Medicine(probably ER doc)
Currently working LTC bit to sane and monotonous for me, not saying it isnt a great field, I love some aspects of my job, but I thrive on stress and excitement. Yep I'm an "idealist" hoping for my perfect world:P
