<p>I'm currently a philosophy major, and I really love it. But I've been taking career tests and my Meyers and Briggs says I'm an ENFP which I completely agree with and my holland social code is an SAE type... Philosophy wasn't listed on either of the plans... Should I take this as a warning?</p>
<p>I’d take it as a warning that you’re probably putting too much stock in personality tests.</p>
<p>You’ve got some philosophy skills, how legit do you think they really are?</p>
<p>If you love philosophy, stick with it. Just because a personality test doesn’t list a field doesn’t mean you can’t be interested in it.</p>
<p>Philosophy, while a major, is rarely given as a possible career avenue. Was it even allocated to one of the personality types? </p>
<p>Also, philosophy isn’t in itself a career as such. Its a skill/body of knowledge that you can put to a career e.g. university teaching, university research, medical ethics, a religious vocation, writing. Heck, I bet you there are plenty of bankers, prison officers and some doctors who have philosophy degrees. Have a google of famous people who studied philosophy. </p>
<p>And if you need to know why you should take those types of test with a pinch of salt, take a psychology class on the subject…</p>
<p>I’m doing pretty well in my philosophy class (Logic). I’m thinking about becoming an attorney, a speech pathologist, or a teacher.</p>
