CAN I BE ONE MYERS-BRIGGS® TYPE AT HOME AND ANOTHER AT WORK?
Hello folks! I’m Edythe, and I’m a career counselor and Myers-Briggs Master practitioner. One of the most common questions I hear pertains to Myers-Briggs types changing in different environments, or in different times in one’s life. Today’s question comes from Christine. She asks, "Can I be one Myers-Briggs Type at home and another one at work?"

According to most personality type theories, your individual type is inborn and does not change. However, you can AND should develop traits and habits that differ or even directly contradict the description of your Myers-Briggs type.

ENFP COMMUNICATIONS AT WORK

"I'm a ENFP but my boss is not. She seems put off by my enthusiasm and general personality. I've tried to tone myself down in her presence and I think it may be helping a little. What others suggestions might you have to make a positive working relationship?"

ENFPs may feel that they need to take on a different persona at work, or to tone down their natural exuberance in workplaces that are structured, quiet, and impersonal. If you can relate, Edythe has some strategies that may help.

AM I AN AMBIVERT?
This question is from Stephanie.
"My Myers-Briggs results indicate that I’m an Extravert, but I feel more like an Introvert when I’m being my real self. I cherish my alone time, and though I enjoy mingling with and meeting people, I hate being the center of attention. Is it possible to be an Ambivert?"
