CONSUL CAREERS
Because Consuls’ traits are so strongly expressed, leading with practical sense
and social vigor, the careers they nd most satisfying usually revolve around
making the best use of these qualities. Consuls are well-organized, enjoying
bringing order and structure to their workplaces, and often work best in
environments with clear, predictable hierarchies and tasks. Monotony and
routine work are not a challenge for the Consul personality type, as they are
happy to do what needs to be done.

Cooperation, not Conflict

Careers as administrators are a natural t, allowing Consuls to organize not just
an environment, but the people in it. Their practical skills combine well with their
dependability, making Consul personalities surprisingly good accountants –
though they often prefer to be personal accountants, helping people and
interacting with them directly, instead of corporate accountants crunching
numbers in some back room.

Purely analytical careers are often too dull for Consuls though – they need human
interaction and emotional feedback to be truly satis ed in their line of work. Good
listeners and enthusiastic team members, people with the Consul personality
type are excellent providers of medical care and social work. Teaching is another
great option, as Consuls are comfortable with authority, but are supportive and
friendly enough to keep that authority from feeling overbearing.

Consuls’ best careers all have the additional bene t of providing them
with perhaps their most important requirement: to feel appreciated
and know they’ve helped someone.

Being as altruistic as they are, Consuls nd it hard to be satis ed unless they

know they’ve done something valuable for another person. This is often the
driving force behind Consuls’ careers and career advancement, and makes
religious work and counseling particularly rewarding.

Whatever they choose to do, Consul personalities’ comfort with busy social
situations and practical knowledge and skills come together to create people who
are not just able to be productive and helpful, but people who genuinely enjoy it.
