Extrovert: People having extrovert nature usually channelize their energy outwards which is directed at people or things outside their personal sphere. They have high level energy and are quite talkative. In fact, they are known to think out loud and they tend to think after acting spontaneously. They are most satisfied when there are people around them and they like public roles and responsibilities. Extrovert people like to venture out and are quite enthusiastic about things around them.

Introvert: The energy of introvert people is directed towards themselves only. They are very good listeners and they do more listening than talking. Lots of thoughts go through their minds and they seldom spill those thoughts. Contrary to the extroverts’ they feel comfortable when they are alone and believe in working behind-the-scene. They have great ability to concentrate and pursue a single minded approach in life, that is to say they believe in focusing on one thing at a time, attaining it, and then going for the next one. Introverts’ like to think and contemplate well before acting.

Feel good about things that you have in your life. It is easy to spot people crooning about endless deficiencies in life; you can think from your perspective “Would I like to spend time with this person”?
Try to apply the answer to your life and you will gain a fair idea about the positive effects of being happy with whatever you have achieved.

Develop a sense of humor. Humor is just like sweet in the way that it attracts people just as sweets attract ants.

But these three are not sufficient as realized by many HR professionals and management gurus in the recent times. Many people have to make a career choice when they have just crossed the teenage and it becomes quite tough to change the track once everything seems to be settled.

In the initial stages, most people opt for a career which promises to pay well irrespective of their interest. The common prevailing logic…so what if I do not enjoy the work, I will train myself to enjoy it. And they get trapped to carry out the job in a mechanical way. Once they get married and are engulfed in the finance of car and home then it becomes really hard to quite the job they never enjoy doing. These were the jobs that were supposed to match the values, interests, and skills then what is the problem that the case studies reveal that over 50% people are not satisfied with their jobs.

The answer to this problem can be found in personality types. There are sixteen different personality types and studies reveal that the people in the job matching their personality tend to excel in their respective fields and enjoy the work.

So, it’s right time that you know your type and do the job in sync with your personality. After all, you will be there working for a long- long time.
