Ep4. MBTI Career Guide: Find Your Best Fit

Curious if your personality type could reveal your ideal career path—and even your earning potential?

Click to uncover how understanding yourself can lead to both fulfillment and financial success!00:08–00:23Introduction to the topic: using personality tests (MBTI) for career guidance.00:23–00:49MBTI is one way to classify personalities; other systems (horoscopes, Chinese astrology, animal-based tests) exist and are not necessarily superficial.00:49–01:29These tests help people, especially those new to the workforce, get to know themselves better.01:29–02:18East Asian education systems focus heavily on grades before college, limiting self-exploration; this is also true to a degree in Western systems.02:18–03:45Understanding oneself is difficult and ongoing; MBTI is a useful, non-hierarchical tool for self-awareness.03:45–04:23Personality tests can help avoid unsuitable jobs, but you can still try new things and surprise yourself.04:23–05:49Personality is not fixed; it changes over time and with experience. Test results are just a snapshot.05:49–06:45MBTI can hint at suitable careers, but should not be used rigidly; for example, ESFPs may be good at public speaking or sales.06:45–07:58Positive feedback from others and oneself helps identify strengths. Different personalities suit different careers—there is no "best" career for everyone.07:58–08:13The episode will continue with topics on saving and managing money.08:13–09:06MBTI is just a reference. Self-awareness and flexibility are key. Personality and career preferences can change over time.09:06–09:28Conclusion: Nothing is set in stone; be open to change and new opportunities.————————————————————"Be Money Smart" is a daily podcast that introduces how to smartly earn wealth and understand its underlying principles.
