Thoughts...

     I truly agree with the career relevant traits. No matter how many times I retook the test, I would always get the same results. For me, it is a very accurate description of myself. However, I do not entirely agree with the career paths allocated for me. All the career paths stated above are actually the ones that I plan not to get involved with apart from child care. So, there is still a possible career choice for me which involves me working with children somewhere in the future. After doing some research, people with the ESFJ personality type are excellent providers of medical care. Combining the ability of providing medical care and the opportunity of working with children, it is clear to me now that my ambition to be a pediatrician is fit for me.
