In 1979 I decided to leave teaching as I was obviously unsuited to it as a career. I went to see a company called "Career Analysts" who had me sit a whole series of tests to try and find for what I was best suited. One of the tests I did was the Briggs-Myers test. I think that I came out as an ISTJ, although I am a borderline S/N (51% S 49% N at the last count - so INTJ might have been possible at that time).
The analyst who went through my results noted this, among many other things and indicated also that I was indeed correct that teaching was wrong for me, and recommended that I look at IT as the road to go.
Totally. I spent 28 years as an IT professional (in 7 different countries!) and but for a heart attack in 2008, I would have been in it for longer still - and I would go back tomorrow if I could find a job in that area!
