I don't know if you are like this: having a good job that others think is not too stressful. The boss appreciates you and your salary is not low, but you often feel inexplicably tired. When I entered the company office, I felt inexplicably depressed. Sometimes you will complain to yourself or your good friends: "Work is really boring" and "It's boring to death". In the eyes of others, you may have such an enviable job, but in your heart, you are tired, and unfortunately, even you can't tell why you have become so depressed. If you are like this, or if you start to have this kind of situation, maybe it's time for you to consider whether you are suitable for this job and whether you should change your job.

As the saying goes, "people's minds are different, each has its own face", which means that people's minds or personalities are different, just as different people's faces are different. This shows that people's personality is diverse. Different personalities have different requirements for work, which means different jobs or occupations that suit you.

So what is personality? Is it really so important to work?

Generally speaking, personality is an innate and inherited personality trait with relatively stable characteristics. Personality includes temperament, personality, ability and interest. The traditional personality theory simply divides people's personality into extroversion and extroversion, but how can more than 5 billion people in this world simply distinguish between introversion and extroversion? So many new and more scientific personality theories and corresponding testing tools were born, such as Gilbert's two-factor personality test, Jung's personality classification test, Rorschach ink test, Cattell's sixteen-factor personality test, MBTI and so on, which are often used in personality tests.

Personality determines a person's attitude towards life, the style of interpersonal communication, the rhythm and priorities of doing things, and so on, thus indirectly affecting a person's study, work efficiency and effectiveness.

Nowadays, people are more and more aware of the importance of personality in their work.

According to a survey, the top five factors that college students consider when choosing a company and a career are: meeting their personal interests, giving full play to their personal advantages, being well paid, being able to find a job in a big city, and having a professional counterpart. This shows that college students are generally concerned about satisfying their personal interests and hobbies and giving full play to their personal specialties. In fact, personality has a decisive influence on a person's work efficiency and even work performance.

For example, generally speaking, cheerful and easy-going people are suitable for team activities, and their actions are often proactive, so they also have good communication with others and relatively harmonious interpersonal relationships. However, it does not mean that an extrovert must be a pacifist. Some extroverts are too obvious, and sometimes they don't pay attention to understanding and communicating each other's feelings, so they are more likely to cause each other's resentment or resistance, thus forming disharmony in interpersonal relationships.

For another example, people who are too introverted are generally not suitable for jobs that often need to deal with customers, such as sales, news media public relations, etc., because people with this personality will be slightly inactive, will be in a passive position in communication with others, and often fall into a state of "silence", thus invisibly forming an "obstacle" in interpersonal communication.

Therefore, if you don't know your own personality, even if you do a job that others think is "enviable", if your personality is not suitable, you won't do your best and you may not be able to do it well. Even if you can do a "good" job, you won't give full play to your ability. You may still unconsciously complain that life and work are boring, as mentioned above. On the contrary, if you understand your personality and find a job that suits you, you will release all your energy with enthusiasm. Even though you may not be qualified for this job at first, you will eventually adapt and do well.

Do you want to know your personality? Go to a professional career counseling institution to do a career personality test, supplemented by relevant career interest tests and other things you are concerned about. A clear understanding of your interests, hobbies, quality and occupation will be of great help for you to correctly, comprehensively and deeply understand your personality and suitable work, and to plan your career development correctly.

It is worth mentioning that at present we often see some so-called "personality tests" or "personality tests" in many newspapers or on the Internet. These are mostly "spices" that have no scientific basis and are purely for the pleasure of readers. Occasionally, they can relax your mood, but don't take it seriously, let alone have an incorrect understanding of yourself. This will not only help you, but also help you, really.
