A dark-haired young woman in the uniform of a Crystal Academy lay across her bed one lovely Tuesday afternoon with a laptop in front of her. The windows were open, curtains blowing in the cool breeze that flowed in. She'd gotten out of class not even half an hour prior and she was still in her uniform. After the discussion with her parents a few days prior, she was researching a few things.
According to a personality test, Jada had some sort of an “ESFJ” personality. Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, Judgment or something like that. Other personalities of her tye included Bill Clinton, Cindy Crawford, Frank Sinatra and Martha Stewart. “As an ESFJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.” she read aloud.
After reading the description, it didn't feel right. So she took the test again. ESFP, this time. Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving. The description of this particular said she was a very expressed extravert with a moderately expressed sensing personality in addition to a moderately expressed feeling personality and slightly expressed perceiving personality. That was a lot of moderates and slightly's. Other personalities of this type included... Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Hope, Eva Gabor, Goldie Hawn, Kyle Petty, Steve Irwin and Serena Williams. Oddly, she preferred the other list. Bill Clinton was a PRESIDENT.
Ah well, one could not have everything. In her distinctive hand she wrote down the two personalities in two columns.
ESFJ
Management: Management, Public Administration, Hotel & Restaurant Management, Fashion Merchandising
Health Care: Nursing, Health Care Administration, Radiologic Technician, Physician
Social Service: Education, Social Work
ESFP
Art: Acting and Performances, Dressmaking & Design, Advertising
Customer Service: Public Relations Specialist, Sales/Marketing Specialist, Fitness & Nutrition
Social Service: Early Childhood Education
Management: Fashion Merchandising
The pen tapped against the pad of paper as she contemplated the two columns and the potential jobs that they contained. None of them were what her father hoped for. Certainly none of them were what her mother hoped for.
But what about her? Could she handle a career like one of these? Would they make her happy? Well, public relations was something that she might be able to handle. And something her parents might be content with... Fitness and Nutrition? Jada did like staying in shape, but she loved food with equal fervor. Education? Fashion? She struck out Dressmaking and Design with a single line through it. Same with Acting and Performance.
Should she consider the education possibilities? Children were... well, annoying... in their own way, but she would get to send them home at the end of the day. And it wasn't like she'd be stuck in a rut, same thing day in and day out.
She dropped the pen onto the pad of paper and returned slender fingers to the small keyboard of her laptop. Wait, Tim “The Toolman” Taylor was one of the same types of personalities as she? That was... absurd! He was an absolute buffoon, she'd SEEN reruns of that show! And the description of the ESFP personality was just as absurd. She wasn't like that at all, was she?
A link was bookmarked for her future reference that suggested some more potential careers. There were tons of options there, further marked into more details of her personality type. Was this something she should talk over with a school counselor or something?
Luckily for her, that was when the alarm on her cellular phone went off. 5:00 in the afternoon. She'd been reading over this for two hours already? Shoving off her bed, she dropped the uniform to the floor and slid into a pair of jeans and a tank top, slipping her feet into a pair of black sandals. No jewelry, no purse. The makeup was going to come off anyway. First plan for the evening would be two hours at the gym, followed by some food.
Oddly, she was really craving some hashbrowns and pancakes.
