I am an ENTP and it says that I'm an "inventor" and I need to do anything that has to do with "new things" and people. Careers: marketing, advertising, PR, real-estate, consulting, and sports agent. HA...looks like I'm on the right path!

My career options are: Writers, Counselors / Social Workers, Teachers / Professors , Psychologists / Psychiatrists, Musicians ("See Mom! I had a future in the business!"), Clergy / Religious Workers I don't see cubicle monkey anywhere on the list! And apparently I'm seeking a natural partner that is an ENFJ or ESFJ. I'm going to go and make a 2x2 chart now... Finally got around to taking this test and I’m supposedly an INFP / Idealist.

My personality changed from INTJ to INFJ, and I relate more to INFJ descriptions. Maybe these things change? I just took the test again via your blog.
