Engaged Idealist: Career
As an Engaged Idealist you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a colorfully diverse group of people who interest and inspire you. Working in a “secluded room” is not your thing. You enjoy emphasizing with those around you and soon everybody senses the high priority and importance people represent to you. Therefore a team-oriented project is just right for you.
Your insight into human nature, your feel for your colleague’s and/or subordinate’s positive sides and potentials and your preparedness to encourage and support everyone around you to the best of your ability quickly brings them closer to you. People like to ask you for advice, appreciate your caring ways and appreciate to be taken under your wings. Within your means you are always available to others who need you because you yourself enjoy the ultimate gratification of being able to help others to make the best of themselves and to be successful mediating conflicts among people.
You are well suited to be an executive: It is difficult to resist your charisma, your enthusiasm and your ability to excite and motivate others. Authoritarian management attitudes are not your thing; it is your way to convince others of a project’s reason and significance who will then look forward to follow you voluntarily. You place a lot of value on creating the willingness to cooperate in others and with your gift to motivate that usually comes easy to you. You do not enjoy conflicts, need harmony and invest lots of energy and time in a good working climate and a harmonic relationship of your colleagues among each other.
With your customers you also prefer to maintain friendly and sincere contacts that are characterized by mutual support and goodwill. To “pull someone across the table” in order to get an economic advantage does not even enter your mind; you would rather create a “win-win” situation so that everybody departs with the feeling of having been successful. Consequently you are appreciated as a trustworthy, reliable and tolerant boss, colleague and business partner. You are not made for working in environments that depend on steel elbows, aggressive competition and assertiveness at any price. Envy, resentment and a continuously strained atmosphere make you feel uncomfortable.

- Which would be the ideal career choice for your personality type?
- Are you dissatisfied with your job?
- Do you know your strengths and weaknesses?
As in all other areas of your life, your personality plays a decisive role in the things you enjoy or don’t enjoy. It plays a role in why you are more successful in a particular area with less effort and why some areas might be more difficult for you and require more effort. Your personality affects how you affect others and how you see them. In addition to your personal partnership, your profession should ideally be the second sustaining mainstay in your life. Identifying your skills, interests, personality type and work values will help you to find a more satisfying and rewarding career.

"Fantastic product. Fantastic service. The profile you sent me was so accurate that it has driven the start of a new line of thought and a positive career shift."
Warren, Australia
"I found the career profile extremely useful. Too many of us have chosen a career based on courses that were available to us in school, suggestions we got from a parent or school counselor - or we might just have gravitated toward work that we thought would be easy, prestigious, or high-paying. But job satisfaction has everything to do with what makes you feel fulfilled as a person. Finding a career path that really resonates with your values and your personal style is so important if you want to enjoy your work and feel like you're spending your life in a worthwhile way. The iPersonic website has a great approach of giving you broad principles that apply if you're looking for a complete career change or for ideas on how you might improve your current job."
