Of the many factors that contribute to a successful education and subsequent career, an
understanding of personality type is among the most useful.
While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does
remain constant is an individual's personality type the innate way in which each person
naturally prefers to see the world and make decisions. All individuals are unique, but people
of the same type share large similarities in the kinds of academic subjects and careers they
find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying.
By understanding the role personality type plays, people can gain important insights into
their educational, career and relationship needs. And because people of different types often
communicate in very different ways, counselors and advisors can learn which strategies
work most effectively with each individual student.
Understanding you, Violet

People like you are rare. You are a unique and creative person who tends to do things the
way you like them done, regardless of what others may think. Private, quiet and socially
cautious, only friends who know you very well may ever see your more playful and
expressive side. In fact, it takes awhile for you to feel comfortable with new people, so you
may often be described as somewhat reserved. But inside, you are a person of great feeling,
who cares deeply for the people and causes that are dear to you.
Your personal values are most important to you, so you always try to make choices that you
feel good about. You are rarely willing to compromise on anything that is really important to
you. You can sometimes become overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, and your
relationships need to be free of conflict or tension for you to remain in them.
You are a highly imaginative person and may enjoy expressing yourself through the arts. But
since you are also somewhat of a perfectionist, you may have trouble hearing constructive
criticism without taking it personally. You are quick to understand the deeper meaning of
things, and often have a fresh or original take on events and people. Since you prefer by
nature to act spontaneously, you resist too many rules or too much structure. And you may
also have trouble staying organized or making decisions. At heart, you are a nonconformist
and must find the path that is really right for you, even if it means venturing forth alone.
Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "INFP."
Your Strengths and Blindspots

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The key to finding the best path for all people is by
using their natural strengths and becoming aware of their natural blindspots.
Your strengths may include:
Impressing others as being someone with strong values and convictions
Communicating well with others on a person-to-person basis
Expressing yourself well in writing
Being an attentive listener
Demonstrating an interest in, and broad grasp of, big issues
Your blindspots may include:
Being too idealistic and setting unrealistic goals
Not being particularly well-organized
Becoming defensive if you feel you are being challenged
Not following through on important details and deadlines
Not being totally accurate with facts
Your College Satisfiers
Friendly, nurturing faculty and staff. Personal relationships are very important to you,
as are close mentoring relationships
Opportunities to participate in organizations or clubs that involve causes or issues

you feel strongly about
A friendly, nurturing learning environment that emphasizes cooperation rather than

competition
An educational philosophy that supports and encourages diversity and open-minded

thinking and self-expression
Lots of access to artistic and other cultural events, such as art shows, concerts,
poetry readings and so on
Your Career Satisfiers
Be in harmony with your own personal values and involve work you believe in
Provide plenty of time to develop your ideas and let you maintain control over your
projects
Give you plenty of autonomy and private, quiet space in which to work
Be done with other creative and caring people whose values you respect
Allow you to work in a fairly unstructured environment without too many rules
Appreciate your unique contributions
Allow you to help others grow and develop their potential
Use your gift for understanding what motivates other people to behave as they do
Your Preferred Learning Style

While ALL individuals are unique, students of the same type often learn best in similar ways.
The following summarizes what you need in order to maximize learning:
Recognition that you are driven by your personal feelings and deeply held beliefs
A friendly, nurturing, tension-free environment
Opportunity to work alone or with small groups
Plenty of time to think and reflect before responding
Your Interpersonal Negotiating Style

People negotiate with each other all the time, whether it's arranging to borrow the car,
requesting more time to finish a project, or even deciding which restaurant to visit with
friends. In school and at work, the ability to negotiate effectively is especially important.
Following are some strengths and blindspots that have the potential to influence your
negotiations with others:
Possible Strengths

Excellent listener; good at making people feel comfortable
Passionate advocate; deeply committed to issues you believe strongly in
Creative problem-solver; seek outcomes that are beneficial to all parties
