MBTI and Professional Selection Matching Guide

According to existing research, MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) has shown high effectiveness in professional matching and is considered to have high guiding value in professional selection and career development. Choosing a major based on MBTI can help individuals discover and give full play to their own talents, so that they can be more comfortable in learning and work, and can also reduce unnecessary pressure and challenges in the process of career development.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you about the topic of personality type and college entrance examination volunteer selection from the perspective of the most popular MBTI personality type, and provide you with more life advice and references from another perspective. Below, based on the analysis and collection of Daguan, we have compiled a list of college entrance examination volunteer application suggestions for various MBTI personality types for your reference:

Analysts are usually knowledgeable and far-sighted. They are more suitable for choosing more brain-intensive majors, such as architecture, economics, and politics.

• INTJ Architect

Personality characteristics: knowledgeable, principled, outstanding strategic ability, independent and firm, and keen on originality. INTJ people tend to act independently, delve deeply, and have strong self-study ability.

Written at the end

Although the MBTI personality type provides us with another perspective of self-cognition and self-exploration in terms of professional choice, it is not the only criterion for determining professional choice. Everyone's situation is unique. In addition to personality type, we also need to comprehensively consider personal interests, career prospects, family resources, own abilities and other factors.

Whether your grades are good or bad, they should not determine your future. Choose a major that suits you and bravely pursue your dreams. Every step is growth and every day is a new beginning.

I hope that you will continue to explore, learn and grow on the road ahead, find what you love, work hard for it, bravely pursue your dreams, and live up to your youth.
