Confidential Report

Valerie Rivas

Personality Type: ENFP

You described your profile as: Mostly Accurate

Introduction
Of the many factors that contribute to a successful future, an understanding of Personality Type is among the
most useful.
While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does remain constant is
an individual's Personality Type - the innate way each person naturally prefers to see the world and make
decisions. And although all individuals are unique, people of the same type share enormous similarities in the
kinds of academic subjects and careers they find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying.
By understanding the role Personality Type plays, people can gain important insights into their educational,
career, and relationship needs. And because people of different types often communicate in very different ways,
counselors and teachers can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student.
Understanding you, Valerie
People like you are very outgoing, enthusiastic, and spontaneous. You love meeting new people and probably
have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Since you are always on the go and seem to have boundless
energy, you are usually up for any new experience and especially love surprises! You are very curious, ask a lot
of questions, and are fascinated by people or things that are out of the ordinary. Because of your vivid
imagination, you have many ideas a day and are great at finding creative ways of solving problems or
overcoming obstacles. You love to talk - especially about fun or interesting possibilities. People enjoy your
unusual sense of humor and find you fun to be around. You pride yourself on your uniqueness.
You are also a sensitive and empathetic person who often has accurate insights about others. Your friends know
you are devoted and affectionate and that you feel things very deeply, even if you don't always show it. But you
may also take criticism personally and find your feelings are easily hurt. When you have a lot of details to
remember or projects to manage, you may become overwhelmed or discouraged. In fact, your curiosity often
distracts you from the more routine parts of projects and you probably find that staying organized is one of the
hardest things for you to do. Making decisions is also a struggle because there are so many interesting options
calling to you at once. Whatever career you choose, it has to be something you believe in or you won't be able to
stick with it for very long.
Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ENFP."
Your Strengths and Blindspots:
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The key to finding the best path for all people is by using their natural
strengths and becoming aware of their natural blindspots.
Your strengths may include:

Impressing people with your quickness and creativity

Anticipating the "right" answers people are looking for
Developing rapport easily, and changing gears quickly

Not following through on important details and deadlines

Having difficulty committing before you have checked out all your options
Being too idealistic and setting unrealistic goals

For a career to be satisfying for you, it should:

Be consistent with your personal values.

Rarely requires you to be responsible for lots of details.
Use your imagination to create products or services that help people.
