direct action and this no-nonsense type takes no prisoners.

come across as aggressive and argumentative.

potential. They have a natural tendency to ease stressful situations.
Weakness: They can be too hard on themselves, neglecting their own needs and
concentrating on others instead.
Strength: ENFPs are highly creative who love to act with spontaneity. They excel at storytelling, whether this is in books, music
or acting.Weakness: Don’t give ENFP’s a mundane routine or you’ll empty all that creativity.
They hate being predictable.
Strength: Known as visionaries and innovators, ENTPs are quick-witted and their
strengths lie in communication with all members of society.
Weakness: Their only weakness is not finishing one idea before moving onto the
next.
Strength: Their strength is in language and communication. Good at expressing
themselves, they work best where the spoken word is important.
Weakness: If you hurt an INFJ you may never even know why as they will walk away and not
tell you.
Strength: The INFP has an imagination like no other and excels when taking the mundane and turning into
something extraordinary.Weakness: INFPs cannot be in large social groups as it drains their energy. They need to spend time alone to recharge their batteries but some people see this as
being aloof.
Strength: INTJs are able to understand complex and difficult information and
therefore do well in careers such in science, mathematics and engineering.
Weakness: They always look at the bigger picture and cannot focus on the here and
now, which means they have to have a plan in place and cannot improvise
Strength: Give an INTP the freedom and flexibility to work autonomously and you will get
the best out of them.Weakness: However, because they believe in their own minds
so ultimately, it can be extremely hard to influence them.
Strength: Loyalty and self-sacrifice and ESFJ’s best qualities, they will
always put someone they care about before themselves.
Weakness: ESFJ’s seek approval from almost everyone they meet which can
be irritating in the long run to older friends.
Strength: ESFPs are all about people, meeting them, interacting with them,
getting to know new ones. They may not do so well with theory books but thrive on
hands-on experience.Weakness: Monotony is their worst fear as
they love the spice and variety of life.
Strength: ESTPs are the ultimate doers, they have to touch, smell, live the action and straight-away as well. Give them a task that requires immediate action and
it will get done.Weakness: ESTPs do not like to sit
around and have to learn a ton of boring text or information; it drains their natural
exuberance.
Strength: ESTJs are best suited to leadership or supervisory roles as they appreciate rules
and order and value traditions.Weakness: They can at times appear to be a
typical ‘jobsworth’ type, being a stickler for the rules and over-critical if someone does not live
up to their standards.
Strength: ISFJs are natural careers and very perceptive to other’s feelings. They work well
when in an organized caring role.Weakness: Confrontation and disharmony
throw these people off balance quickly as they prefer order and structure in their lives.
Strength: ISFPs are natural perfectionists who work well in
careers where attention to detail is of the utmost importance.
Weakness: They are intensively private people and may even keep
their feelings from their partner.
Strength: ISTJ love working in an orderly fashion and thrive when things are well-
organised.Weakness: Give them a task with no
clear-cut goals or practical use and they soon lose interest.
Strength: An ISTP thrives when given an action-packed job with thrills and risks. They work best when living in
the moment and not planning for the future.Weakness: Give them their own space and don’t make too many demands on them or their energy will become
quickly drained
