ENFP's prefer careers where:
* Management allows people to be self directed * The work itself is personally meaningful and has value * Decisions and actions at work are in sync with your personal values * The work offers the opportunity to rapidly change direction and to respond to problems as they arise * The work is fun and allows for some spontaneity * The work allows you the opportunity to work with and meet a wide variety of people, rather than working alone most of the time * The work moves at a rapid, exciting pace * The environment and culture gives you opportunities to think through your ideas by talking about them * The work involves theory and speculation * The job is action oriented and provides for a wide variety of activities rather than being highly focused on a few tasks * The work involves creativity, imagination and a creative approach to problem solving * The work involves looking beyond the present i.e. future possibilities, future products, future actions * The work is not limited to what exists today but involves "what may be" and "what could be" * The atmosphere allows you to be warm and caring and to build strong interpersonal relationships * The environment allows for freedom and flexibility and is loosely structured without too many rules
