    As an INTP, I would like to work as a bed tester. That is, I get a bed for a week, spend time sleeping on it, and fill out a survey. Most of the time, when I'm working, I'm asleep. The rest of the time, I do whatever on the Internet. However, such jobs are few are far between. In real life, I work as a data analyst. It involves writing code to pull data out of a database, put it altogether, and write reports. Yes, it's a good job for an INTP, but I'd rather be a bed tester.

      @@gloriamartinez5540 Hello there! It really depends on the country and city you're from. Here, in Ukraine, people see success very differently and, for example, one of the girls that I know who majored in IR has moved to Poland and then to Germany to study translation after that. She has earned enough money to start her online business. She got a really nice linguistic practice while studying IR but that's it. Other girl has moved to Germany to teach at the local university. The majority of my fellow students are tutoring English or German, but that's because they weren't actually interested in pursuing a diplomatic career. A lot of people that used to teach at my department are very young and already successfully engaged in the local politics which is nice, that's what they wanted. IR can be beneficial for you if you love foreign languages and/or politics. But the diploma is just the first step, you gotta think of the next moves, as with anything else.

      @@audreylee1699 depends on what you’re trying to do with the degree, and what subfield of anthropology you’re planning on entering. If you’re trying to get into Social Work, I’d say you’re just as well off taking either.
      If you are trying to get into politics or business/marketing, I would recommend sticking with international relations. I’m currently in cultural anthropology, which is the studying of different cultures around the world, and I’m planning on entering academia to write ethnographies for academic journals.
      However other fields like Forensic Anthropology would be good if your trying to get into forensics or autopsy work. Biological anthropology is good if your trying to become an evolutionary scientist. And archeology is another sub-field of anthropology which is a normal path forward for Anthro majors.
      As an undergrad, I’d say that you may be able to get more job offering solely from a degree in International Relations, though if you were to go to Grad school, a masters in anthropology would take you even further than a masters in International Relations. A bachelors in really any sub field of anthropology would open the door to getting a masters in other anthropological sub-fields as well (which is very diverse in an of itself).
      They are both very similar, though Anthropology is more abstract about applying knowledge from other subjects and analyzing how you personally relate to a different culture’s practices, while International relations often shares more similarities with a political science class. Best case scenario is that you get a double major or a minor, as knowledge you learn in one class may be directly applicable to the other.

  • @heathergrahame9647
    @heathergrahame9647 4 года назад +15

    The main difference I've noticed between J and P is that the Js think less is better (simpler, narrow the issues, less to worry about, etc) whereas Ps think more is better (more stuff, more alternatives, more ideas, more feelings, more options).
    I've noticed this particularly with complaints and problems (which we all have). P types want to verbalise their complaints and talk about them a lot. It's like by expanding them, they're diffusing the intensity or spreading them thinner. But to a J type, complaining about a problem makes the problem bigger (a bit like scratching at a sore), and they would prefer to shut up or not think about a problem as a way of reducing its bigness.
    At their most extreme, J types go into denial whereas P types ramble on insanely.

      @umyes1585 Год назад

      WOW. LOL. You explaines it almost accurate though . But I do thinked like that sometimes, like 'Why would you shut up and be quiet instead of finding a solutions to the problem?' even if it cause us a fight, but still, at least we could find why this things or that happened.
      If we keep holding it on... Sometimes, we won't find a solutions for it. And could've lead to a lot of misunderstandings...

    @beccangavin 4 года назад +23

    I've got a great example of how two different types can approach the same careers from different angles! I'm an INTP or a INTJ, depending on the test...I am a good teacher because I can lay out things in clear and concise formats and explain the why behind everything. My son is an INFP and he's an excellent teacher but he does it in a completely different way. He does this thing where he drops little knowledge breadcrumbs and guides people to understanding. People feel really good about theselves after getting a math lesson from my son. I've never seen anything like it in my whole life.

Also lots of thinker/judging types in the more technical side of animation, like rigging and FX and stuff.

    INFJ here. One more thing on choosing a career....Never make life decisions based upon pressure or tendency to want to please others. I chose my first career because of pressure from family, but realized 2 years in that it was the biggest mistake of my life. After realizing I was miserable, I left my white collar career despite the negative feedback from those around me. They told me I was a failure for throwing away a career most dream about. But that career was draining my soul and left me feeling dead inside. I left that career to do what I love, and I feel alive again for the first time in 6 years.
    This is your reminder to DO YOU regardless of whats good for your neighbor. You only get one life. Don't feel pressured to please others. At the end of the day, you're always left with yourself, so you might as well be happy. ✌

      The problem with that is society currently doesn't support raising children properly. Housespouseing leaves you potentially vuleranable if your spouse dies/gets sick or the relationship ends.
      Have you considered being a nanny? A good training programme gives you paperwork for your resume, a career that can give you free world travel, and if you do become a housespouse you have career experience.

    This was quite good and personally encouraging. As an INTJ, since 2015 I have been thinking about starting my own business - a management consulting firm. You just said owning a business or consulting is typical work for an INTJ to do. I will take that as another sign that sometime in the not to distant future I should go ahead and start up this business.
    Also, your thoughts on E vs I resonated with me. I have done business development and marketing work and as an introvert I tend to have an easier time writing product description manuals or FAQs and sending emails regarding the products versus doing highly verbal actions like cold calling. I do them both fine, I just find the written work easier to do and I like thinking about what I am going to communicate instead of communicating on the fly.

    As an INFJ, my childhood dream was to become a doctor like my father. Helping people always appealed to me. But I unfortunately never had the grades for it. I was an above average student, not an overachiever. I did really well in subjects that I liked, and did the bare minimum in subjects I didn't like. I was interested in programming, so I opted for a career in software engineering or web development. So, I have a BSc degree in computer science and statistics. But if I knew how difficult it is to get a job in this field as a newbie, I wouldn't have gone for it. I would've opted for a career as a maths or IT teacher to avoid this stress of unemployment. I'm still thinking about pursuing a PGCE qualification next year to become a certified teacher if I can't find a job in the field this year.
