Most likely to self-select into this occupation: ESFP (1.57) Most likely to self-select into this occupation: ENTJ (3.45) Most likely to self-select into this occupation: ENFJ (1.71) Most likely to self-select into this occupation: INTP (2.71) Medical or Clinical Laboratory Technician Most likely to self-select into this occupation: INTJ (4.33) That’s because American culture tends to prefer and value Extraversion over Introversion, Sensing over Intuition, Thinking over Feeling, and Judging over Perceiving.īelow are a few of the personality types drawn to occupations in healthcare from the MBTI Type Table for Occupations manual: Keep in mind though, that in American culture those with preferences for E, S, T or J are more likely to be in supervisor or manager positions. They’re present-time oriented (as opposed to future-time oriented like people who prefer Intuition) and when making decisions they focus on people more (as opposed to those who prefer Thinking and focus on systems and data more). People with the middle letters SF are often referred to as the “customer service people.” They want to know who, what, where, when and why and how they can help others. What personality types tend to go into the healthcare fields? While there are an incredible number of different types of jobs in the healthcare industry, people whose personality type has the middle letters SF tend to be drawn to healthcare frequently (ESFJ, ESFP, ISFJ, ISFP).
