ENFP--"Jounalist"

I went to college to study journalism, but found that it wasn't the career for me. Deadlines are not fluid enough.

It fits, even though my present career doesn't exactly match. I'm a social worker, but I've had jobs in personnel development and I've done some conference planning very successfully.

The most meaningful information is the section on how I handle stress:
The ENFP finds symbolic meanings behind the immediate circumstances. These meanings are construed as foreboding problems when ENFP's are under stress. Having a pervasive feeling of losing control over their own independent identities, ENFP's will feel virtually split apart by intruding circumstances. They will be "besides themselves" and "just not all there" — as if something, or someone, has taken away the essence of who they are. Not feeling like themselves, the ENFP will become subject to their own feelings of shame for being a phony, a fake or an impostor. If stress continues to grow, they may attribute malevolent schemes to others in order to explain away their fears.

I often experience those feelings, especially feeling "not all there" and feeling like an imposter in my own life.
