Type and Careers

Just knew it our personality type can influence our career choice and path. Well, I read up to see if I've chosen a wrong career. Or maybe I'm checking what is my future career.

Our MBTI result can help us to choose a new job or career, change job or career and increase satisfaction with the present career.

Briefly, the MBTI preferences are:
(1) Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
focus on the people and things in the outer world OR focus on the thoughts, feelings and impressions of the inner world.
(2) Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
focus on facts and details that can be confirmed by experience OR focus on possibilities and relationships among ideas.
(3) Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
use impersonal, objective, logical analysis to reach conclusions OR user person-centered, subjective analysis to reach conclusions.
(4) Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
plan and organize; make decisions and come to closure OR be spontaneous and adaptable; collect information and stay open to new options.

Being an INTP person, the most attractive occupations are computer professional, architect, research assistant, fine artist, food service worker, surveyor, manager, social scientist, writer/editor and photographer. The trends are in scientific or technical fields; task that require long-term or strategic planning, conceptualization or design. Also require prolonged periods of solitary concentration and tough-minded analysis of problems. Quite true for me.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

The power of commitment

We were grateful to have Dr Jerry White in town to share some insight on the topic commitment and the lordship of Christ. Dr White is the ex-president of The Navigators. When people talk about commitment, some respond as calling – calling for full time, missionary and so on. Is it true calling come from passion? The reality – not much deviation from our devotion and commitment to God. The pillar of our commitment: “Jesus is Lord”. Every believer shall confess Jesus as Lord (Phil 2:10-11). Do you (and us) commit to the lordship of Christ in mind, hear and will? It’s a decision (mind); a response (heart); an act (will). Is it easy to commit? From our mind, it is the seat of knowledge – knowledge of God (Matt 22:37, Rom 14:5, 1 Pet 1:13). The first step is getting to know (input?). What next if we have the knowledge? The heart – the seat of our emotion and desires. From the mind, comes down to the heart where the desire begins. Having desire is sufficient? Why not ...
