Jung Personality Test

An ISTJ at-a-glance
You are a no nonsense type of person who is reserved, very responsible and dependable. You say
what you mean and mean what you say. With good reason, people rely on you. You are
conscientious and have traditional values. You have strong concentration skills and focus on what's
necessary to achieve the task at hand. You see a job through to the end - with a great amount of
commitment.

You are not threatened by constructive criticism and you stay cool when others are loosing control.
Although you care about the feelings of others, you can remain utterly objective and make the tough
calls when necessary.

You are not very demonstrative and may find it difficult to be spontaneous. Your reserved nature
may prevent you from broadcasting to others just how great you are! You may tend to hide your
strengths and dry sense of wit. However, on other occasions, you will surprise and amuse people
with your ideas and humorous view of life. Every Jung Personality type has one or two specific
nicknames that concisely describe your Jung personality type, e.g. Inventor, Strategist, Protector
and others.

VIRTUOSO CAREERS
The Virtuoso personality type is probably the hardest to pin down in many
aspects of life, but especially in their careers. Virtuosos thrive on diversity and
unpredictability, on wondering “what’s next?” every morning. This makes
Virtuosos one of the most mysterious personality types, but also one of the
most versatile in the professional world.

Virtuosos are born problem-solvers with an unwavering focus on practical

solutions (though perhaps not always solutions to practical problems). No
other type is quite as fascinated by how things work, how tools can be used,
and how facts can be put together to create immediate and satisfying results.
This combination of curiosity and hands-on vigor make people with the
Virtuoso personality type excellent mechanics, engineers, graphic designers,
and forensic scientists.
Abstract theory and purely academic work that will never see the light of real
use hold little interest for Virtuosos.

“Practical” is the word of the day. But it’s not the practicality of routine
administration that Virtuosos crave – they need variety and action, perhaps
even a little adrenaline in their work. Highly structured environments leave
Virtuoso personalities bored and tired. Jobs that focus on crisis response,
such as firefighters, paramedics, detectives, pilots and police officers seem
made for Virtuosos.

Perhaps most important to Virtuosos though, is the feeling that they aren’t
stuck. The freedom to wander, the freedom to declare their own schedules,
their own responsibilities, their own environments – nearly every other
consideration pales by comparison to the need to avoid inflexible
commitments and stodgy colleagues. While this can be a significant hurdle to
overcome in traditional employment, it is the chiefest allure of
entrepreneurship.

VIRTUOSO STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

Virtuoso Strengths
 Optimistic and Energetic – Virtuosos are usually up to their elbows in
some project or other. Cheerful and good-natured, people with the
Virtuoso personality type (especially Assertive ones) rarely get stressed
out, preferring to go with the flow.
 Creative and Practical – Virtuosos are very imaginative when it comes
to practical things, mechanics, and crafts. Novel ideas come easily, and
they love using their hands to put them into action.
 Spontaneous and Rational – Combining spontaneity with logic,
Virtuosos can switch mindsets to fit new situations with little effort,
making them flexible and versatile individuals.
 Know How to Prioritize – This flexibility comes with some
unpredictability, but Virtuoso personalities are able to store their
spontaneity for a rainy day, releasing their energy just when it’s needed
most.
 Great in a Crisis – With all this hands-on creativity and spontaneity, it’s
no wonder that Virtuosos are naturals in crisis situations. People with
this personality type usually enjoy a little physical risk, and they aren’t
afraid to get their hands dirty when the situation calls for it.
  Relaxed – Through all this, Virtuosos are able to stay quite relaxed.
They live in the moment and go with the flow, refusing to worry too
much about the future.

Virtuoso Weaknesses
 Stubborn – As easily as Virtuosos go with the flow, they can also
ignore it entirely, and usually move in another direction with little
apology or sensitivity. If someone tries to change Virtuosos’ habits,
lifestyle or ideas through criticism, they can become quite blunt in their
irritation.
 Insensitive – Virtuosos use logic, and even when they try to meet
others halfway with empathy and emotional sensitivity, it rarely seems to
quite come out right, if anything is even said at all.
 Private and Reserved – Virtuoso personalities are notoriously difficult
to get to know. They are true introverts, keeping their personal matters
to themselves, and often just prefer silence to small talk.
 Easily Bored – Virtuosos enjoy novelty, which makes them excellent
tinkerers, but much less reliable when it comes to focusing on things
long-term. Once something is understood, Virtuosos tend to simply
move on to something new and more interesting.
 Dislike Commitment – Long-term commitments are particularly
onerous for Virtuosos. They prefer to take things day-by-day, and the
feeling of being locked into something for a long time is downright
oppressive. This can be a particular challenge in Virtuosos’ romantic
relationships.
 Risky Behavior – This stubbornness, difficulty with others’ emotions,
focus on the moment, and easy boredom can lead to unnecessary and
unhelpful boundary-pushing, just for fun. Virtuosos have been known to
escalate conflict and danger just to see where it goes, something that
can have disastrous consequences for everyone around if they lose
control of the situation.

VIRTUOSO PERSONALITY – CONCLUSION

Few personality types are as bold and practical as Virtuosos. Known for their
technical mastery and willingness to improvise, Virtuosos are good at finding
unique solutions to seemingly impossible challenges. Virtuosos’ desire to
explore and learn new things is invaluable in many areas, including their own
personal growth.
Yet Virtuosos can be easily tripped up in areas where their focus on practical
matters is more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a
partner, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or learning to plan
ahead, Virtuosos need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker
traits and additional skills.

What you have read so far is just an introduction into the complex concept
that is the Virtuoso personality type. You may have muttered to yourself,
“wow, this is so accurate it’s a little creepy” or “finally, someone understands
me!” You may have even asked “how do they know more about me than the
people I’m closest to?”

This is not a trick. You felt understood because you were. We’ve studied how
Virtuosos think and what they need to reach their full potential. And no, we did
not spy on you – many of the challenges you’ve faced and will face in the
future have been overcome by other Virtuosos. You simply need to learn how
they succeeded.

But in order to do that, you need to have a plan, a personal roadmap. The
best car in the world will not take you to the right place if you do not know
where you want to go. We have told you how Virtuosos tend to behave in
certain circumstances and what their key strengths and weaknesses are. Now
we need to go much deeper into your personality type and answer “why?”,
“how?” and “what if?”

This knowledge is only the beginning of a lifelong journey. Are you ready to
learn why Virtuosos act in the way they do? What motivates and inspires you?
What you are afraid of and what you secretly dream about? How you can
unlock your true, exceptional potential?

Your work values

(123test.com/workvalues)

Wealth
Wealth is related to the importance an individual attaches to material gain. Making money is often
the most important reason for working. A high income and earning ever more money is an important
career value and it determines a person's career choices. For such a person, a high or higher
income is an important measure of success.
Technical/Functional Competence
These individuals like being good at something. They are usually inquisitive and want to be
perceived as the expert, the company's specialist. Specialists prefer to work on their own. Using their
skills to meet a challenge is important to them.

Security/Stability
For these people, long-term security is important. A job is seen mainly as a means to secure a
pension and a mortgage. The level of income is seen as less important than the security of an
income and being able to hold on to a job. These people often look at how stable a company is when
choosing a job. Reducing financial insecurity is important to people who find this career value
important.

Power
These people like to be the ones pulling the strings. Power and influence are important aspects in
their careers. They are driven by the desire to control or influence others, the environment, or the
situation. In their career choices, the question of whether or not a job will give them more influence is
the most important. They enjoy networking and to them, befriending or contacting someone new is
often a way of gaining more influence.

Entrepreneurial Creativity
This person's main goal is to come up with new ideas or products. The important aspect of this value
is being innovative. A procedural work environment that leaves little room for personal initiatives will
be experienced as very restrictive. Creative people often prefer to work alone or in small teams.

Status
Impressing others and prestige are primary motivators. This person likes being a member of a
privileged group. Formal recognition of accomplishments is appreciated. They like to be looked up
to. Status symbols, such as titles and official recognitions, are openly displayed. Making money or
gaining power are not goals in and of themselves, but are more often just a way to obtain status.
Autonomy/Independence
Autonomy can be an important value. People who find this value important have a need for
independence and want to be able to make their own decisions. It should not come as a surprise
that these people often are, or want to be their own boss. Their career choices are determined by
the degree to which they can work autonomously and according to their own rules.

Service/Dedication to a Cause
This person's most important value is the desire to contribute to the greater good. Based on personal
values and norms, this person wants to "improve the world" or contribute to society in a meaningful
way. This person will often set aside his/her own interests. Service-oriented people are driven by
how they can help others.

Social Relationships
Social relationships are very important to people who find this career value important. Sociability and
friendship are important reasons to have a job. There is no sharp boundary between work and
private life. These people's career choices are driven by whether they will have or meet enough
colleagues. How much they like their job, depends on the degree to which they can work with others
and meet people.

Are there other career values?

Yes. In a sense anything you find important is a personal work value. The career values outlined in
this test, however, make up the bulk of what most people find important. You can make your list as
well. Think of additional things you like or ask others for their feedback. List what you are good at or
what you hate to do. What gets you out of bed in the morning?

What's next?
You have learned about the possible work-related values that apply to you. Now find out if those
values match with the job you currently have. Or do they fit work you think you would like to do? If
they do, congratulations, you have a higher chance of being successful and happy. Do they not
match? Here's what you can do.

Take a moment to rethink what you really enjoy doing. If you can, change your work or work
activities. Do not let your work change you. If you cannot find the things you value in your work,
perhaps you can find part of them outside your work. Either as a volunteer or in a hobby. Look for
ways to combine doing what you enjoy in your free time.

Your values may also shift over time. If money and power are values you once appreciated, it may
turn out that this is no longer the case. Younger people tend to appreciate structure and the people
around them, whereas older people tend to appreciate self-realization and adding meaning to their
lives.

Your test results are only a snapshot of what you currently think is important. At another time in your
life, the results may be completely different. Think long term. Get feedback from others, explore the
market, make a plan, and stick to it.
