CAMPAIGNER CAREERS

“Can’t I fly helicopters AND be an oceanographer who writes songs and cooks?” It’s a big world out there – perhaps even a little too big. Campaigners are fascinated by new ideas, both in terms of developments in fields they are already familiar with, and when new subjects come along. The trick for people with the Campaigner personality type is to take advantage of this quality, this wonder with the magnificent breadth and detail in the world, and to use it to propel themselves further and deeper than others are willing or able to go.

能不能開飛機同時又是會寫歌會做菜的海洋學家？ - 外面是一個很大的世界，或許有一點太大了。競選者對已經熟悉的領域和新的想法和科目都很有興趣，這個特質的優點是能比其他人更主動和願意去了解這個偉大的世界。

If there’s a challenge Campaigners face when selecting a career, it isn’t that they lack talent or options or drive, it’s that there are so many things out there that are just cool.

當競選者面臨職業選擇的挑戰時，並不是因為他們缺乏天賦、選擇的能力，而是因為他們有太多種很棒的才能了！

Chief among Campaigners’ talents is their people skills, a quality that is even more valuable now than ever. Even in traditional Analyst strongholds like engineering, systems analysis and the sciences, Campaigners’ ability to network and match the communication styles of their audience means that even as they explore new challenges on their own, they will be able to work with others, explore others’ perspectives and glean new insights into their projects. Much of modern progress stems from incorporating other studies into typically disassociated fields, and no one is better equipped to merge broad interests than talented, energetic and future-minded Campaigners.

競選者主要的天賦是人際關係技巧，這種特質不論在過去和現在都非常重要。即使在傳統的分析領域像是工程、軟體分析和科學，競選者的能力是去建立網絡橋樑，就當他們獨自探索新挑戰時，他們也能和其他人一同工作，探索他人的觀點、搜集他人的新見解放入自己的計畫中。很多現代進步科技是從不同領域的研究合作，在這點上沒有人能比競選者厲害。

And while Thinking types may be better at applying logic to systems and machines, people with the Campaigner personality type are able to apply that same logic to human interactions and networks, using their exceptional social perception to find out what makes people tick. This lends Campaigners a solid foothold in any human science or service, from psychology, counseling and teaching to politics, diplomacy and detective work. All of these fields have another important similarity: they are in constant development, shifting, presenting new angles and new approaches. It’s simply not possible to be good in these fields and content with the way things are, and this is where Campaigners truly shine.

當思考類型可能優於邏輯、系統和機器的應用。競選者能應用相似的邏輯做人際關係的整合和網絡，擅用他們的社交優點去找出適合的人選，這讓競選者在任何人文或服務領域有很扎實的立足點，從心理學、顧問、教學、政治、外交和偵探的工作，這些領域有另外重要的相似之處：不斷發展、轉換、表現出新的角度和新的趨勢。這些都是競選者閃閃發光的領域。

Where Campaigners do not shine is in systems of strict regimentation and hierarchy, such as military service. Campaigners thrive on the ability to question the status quo and explore the alternatives, and if this is a quality that is not just unappreciated but actually frowned upon, this will not only make them unhappy, but it may even threaten their emotional stability. Repetition, predictability, boredom… while some Sentinel types may appreciate predictability and clear hierarchies, these are not selling points for Campaigners. People with the Campaigner personality type need to feel like they’re pushing boundaries and exploring ideas, and should focus on interests and careers that encourage that.

競選者不善於在嚴苛的團體和等級制度下工作，像是軍隊。競選者擅於質疑現況且找出替代方案，若品質不受重視，這會讓競選者很不開心、情緒不穩定。重複性的、可預測性的、無聊的，種種站崗式和等級制度，競選者不買單。競選者需要感覺像是他們正在推動疆界或是探索創意，必須專注在興趣和工作。

Many more career options satisfy these needs, and not just the scientific ones – writing, journalism, acting and TV reporting all give Campaigners a chance to explore something new every day and stir the pot a little while they’re at it. It may come to pass though, that the best way forward for Campaigner personalities is to establish themselves as entrepreneurs and consultants, blazing their own trails and taking on whatever project is most fascinating. So long as they get to use their people skills, identify and achieve their own goals and inspire their colleagues and followers, Campaigners will be happy.

科學方面的職業之外，也能選擇寫作、記者、演員、電視播報員，這些都能給競選者機會去探索新的每一天。最好的方式是建立他們自己的事業，像是企業家或是顧問，發揮他們的所長。在運用人際關係的技巧達到目標和激勵同事時，競選者會很快樂。
