What is your personality type? What is your area of specialty?

[rcclover]

I am INFJ and the areas that interest me most are: psychiatry, oncology, hospice, and maybe labor & delivery.

There is another thread on the personality test in general. I am not a nurse or even a nursing student yet but have been looking at all the possiblities with nursing and wondering if certain personalities are drawn to certain specialties.

Here is a link for a shortened version of the test.

Here is a link for descriptions to the different personality types.

Check out the link below, but it was medical specialties and not nursing ones in that study.

Thanks for the link, Eric. I appreciate it.

I really was interested in what personalities went along with specific areas of nursing, though. That's why I posted it in the general discussion nursing forum but it was moved to here. I guess I can't post there since I'm not a nurse, though. Hmmm.
