What is the best HR career for an INFP?
Asked by Cel M
I am interested in a career in Human Resources. RIght now I'm majoring in psychology. This may sound weird but even though I am an introverted person, I don't mind talking to people. I'm the kind of person who just needs a little more time to warm up to you in order to be talkative with you. So does anyone have any idea what career within HR would go well with an INFP?

FYI I was trying to answer your question before but an error would prevent me. Maybe that's why I'm the only one here.
So since I got in, here's my answer:
Well this is a lovely surprise, I happen to be an INFP/INFJ who is just starting to think of going into Human Resources. There's a lot of different positions HR, where you may be in charge of hiring, job training, company finances, or even take a managerial role. There's a lot of options within HR because it's an ever-changing field, and it may be different in times like these when people aren't hiring.
For me as a fellow INFP I am thinking of going into more hiring people for the right job and maintaining positive relationships in the workforce type of job. I like reading about personality types and taking all kinds of those tests on the net when I'm absolutely bored out of my mind, so I thought maybe I could figure out where other people fit for a living and help them out. But no managerial stuff for me. I'm also shy and I'm also quite selective like they say an INFP/INFJ is, but despite that I get along with everybody and everybody kind of likes me (or at least I think so). Being an INFP or an ESTJ isn't all that is to us, so if that's what we want to do then we should do it. We shouldn't plan our life around a theory of who we might be. Or at least that's how I see things.
Best of luck!
