In the nineties, it was very popular to take the Myers Briggs and know your traits. The test was developed in the 40s, but corporations looked in the 80s and 90s for ways to type-cast workers and products to accelerate growth. Later, developments were made in how those ESTPs and INFJs interacted, which work relationships were best for you, and how you can succeed based on your traits.
If you've ever felt like a square peg in a round hole, maybe you've been put into a position at work or in a social setting that isn't in line with your natural strengths. While sometimes this is good, it can be a push by your boss to get to the elusive perfect, the higher profit margin - and forgets about how to mentor staff members, using team strengths to achieve better results. Managers focus on tasks and lists, leaders focus on people as well as development of talent.
Did you realize that you can change and mature through your career, your attributes actually may develop strengths where you previously may have been very heavily dominant on one attribute? I know my traits have adjusted, and I am one of the group that comprises two percent of the population. (Don't confuse this with the infamous "1%" in the U.S. - not that group!!!)
Renew your type by taking the Myers Briggs instrument again, and see how you've grown over the years. You may be surprised how what you've learned, where you've been, how you've lived has changed who you are. Maybe it will help you see the new direction that's best for you. As the assessment says, you are someone you should get to know better.
