Actually I Am An Idealist Champion
Should have read on. I’m actually an ENFP, an idealist-champion. Funny, back in college, I was an INFP, guess I’ve opened up since then ![]()
These totally describe me, and it turns out I have the perfect job here at default.ThoughtWorks.
Your Ideal Job:
- Provides opportunity for conversations with people with whom you can brainstorm and share ideas.
- Allows and encourages you to innovate, giving you room to experiment.
- Exposes you to new ideas and experiences.
- Lets you combine people, ideas, products, and services in new and unusual ways.
- Provides a lot of variety.
- Takes place in an expressive, harmonious environment.
- You are an “eternal optimist.”
Things you’re good at:
- Because you are slow to dismiss “inappropriate” notions, you often arrive at the kinds of brilliant solutions that seem obvious once they are implemented.
- Your taste for adventure means that your “out of the box thinking” doesn’t come from thin air; you draw on an unusually broad diversity of experiences and observations.
- You can be as supportive and as protective of other people’s wild ideas as you are of your own and help to keep your workplace from stagnating.
- You may find that you are often the only person willing to say something that desperately needs saying.
- You are very articulate and use that gift to dispel conflict that arises from misunderstanding.
- You can often talk your way into or out of situations.
- You think well on your feet.
Things to be aware of:
- Your enthusiasm may seem overly intense to some people in some situations.
- Your pursuit of novelty means you sometimes move on before you harvest the fruit of your own ideas.
- You may unrealistically expect other people to be as excited about your projects or goals as you are.
- You may have a tendency to “stir things up just to see what comes out of it” without considering the consequences.
- You have great difficulty making choices; you may be seen as a dilettante.
- Nonconformity may mean that you underachieve or are a late bloomer to success.
- Your dislike of repetition can lead to your being less than conscientious.
