With six months remaining till graduation, Danny began to consider what kind of career he should pursue. In need of guidance, he went to see Ms. Lee, one of his teachers. She showed Danny the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, which could assist him in understanding himself better and making a good decision. Ms. Lee said that the test identifies four different categories. Everyone can be placed into one of two personality types in each category.
The first part of the test was to find out whether Danny was an introvert or an extrovert. Ms. Lee asked him a few questions, for example, "Do you enjoy working with others and accomplishing different tasks? Or would you rather work alone and carry out one task at a time?" Danny unquestionably preferred working in a group, and liked to feel challenged. He felt he was an extrovert.
Next, Ms. Lee talked about the difference between "thinkers," who analyze a problem thoroughly before making a decision, and "feelers," who decide based on their own values and how the decision will affect others. Danny was certain about this. "I'm a feeler," he said without any hesitation.
"OK, Mr. Feeler," said Ms. Lee with a smile. "Are you also a sensor? Or an intuitive? The former focuses on facts and details, while the latter tends to concentrate on all possibilities and often finds creative solutions to a problem." Danny was less sure this time. "Um, I often get new ideas, so I guess I'm creative," he replied.
The fourth category on the test consisted of "judgers" and "perceivers." Judgers like to stick to plans and follow rules. They are usually well organized. Perceivers, on the other hand, like to be flexible and act according to the situation. Thinking for a moment, Danny decided he was more a perceiver than a judger.
"Well, Danny," said Ms. Lee. "You are an extrovert, a feeler, an intuitive, and a perceiver, or an EFNP for short. According to the Myers-Briggs test, you might be suited to a career in journalism or advertising, or maybe even running a restaurant."
"Wow," said Danny. "I've never thought about any of those jobs, but they sound appealing."
"Well, it's important to remember that this test doesn't provide a comprehensive answer. It's just to help you understand yourself." Ms. Lee advised Danny to think carefully about his plans. Danny thanked her, and, as he walked out of the room, he began to visualize himself as the boss of a successful media company.
還有六個月就要畢業了，Danny 開始考慮他應該要從事哪種職業。為了諮詢，他去找其中一位老師－－李老師。她給 Danny 看邁爾斯-布里格斯性向測驗，這可以幫助他更加理解自己並且做出正確的決定。李老師說這個測驗可以區分出四個不同的類型。每個人都可以被歸類在每一種類型中的兩種個性之一。
測驗的第一部分是要找出 Danny 是個內向的人還是外向的人。李老師問了他一些問題，例如，「你喜歡跟大家一起工作然後完成不同的任務嗎？還是你比較願意獨自工作並且一次執行一項任務呢？」Danny 毫無疑問地比較喜歡團隊工作，也喜歡接受挑戰。他認為他是外向的人。
然後，李老師講到關於「思考者」與「情感者」兩者之間的不同，思考者會在做決定之前徹底分析問題，而情感者做決定是根據自己的價值觀以及這個決定將會如何影響到其他人。Danny 對於這點非常確定。「我是情感者。」他毫不猶豫地說。
「好的，情感先生，」李老師面帶微笑地說。「那你也是一個實感型的人嗎？還是一個直覺型的人呢？前者會專注在事實跟細節，而後者則傾向於專注在各種可能性而且經常找到有創意的方式解決問題。」Danny 這次沒有那麼確定了。「呃，我經常有新的想法，所以我想我應該算有創意吧。」他回答。
測驗的第四個類別包含了「判斷者」與「理解者」。「判斷者」喜歡堅持計畫並遵守規則。他們一般都是有條有理的。相反的，理解者喜歡有彈性空間而且隨機應變。思考片刻後，Danny 決定他比起判斷者更像一個理解者。
「好，Danny，」李老師說。「你是一個外向的人、情感者、直覺型，還是一個理解者，或簡稱 EFNP。根據邁爾斯-布里格斯性向測驗，你也許適合新聞或廣告這種職業，或甚至可能是經營一家餐廳。」
「哇，」Danny 說。「我從來沒有考慮過那些職業，但它們聽起來很吸引人。」
「嗯，重要的是要記得這個測驗並不是絕對的答案。這只是為了幫助你更了解自己。」李老師建議 Danny 仔細打算。Danny 向她道謝，然後，當他走出門時，他開始想像自己成為一家成功的媒體公司老闆的模樣。
