IND 299 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this course, you will explore the value of the Bachelor of
Arts in General Studies (BA.GST) degree and how the vast
knowledge gained in this diverse
educational program gives you an innovative edge
professionally, personally, and for civic engagement. As you
prepare for your future beyond this degree, it is
crucial that you be able to articulate, in a professional manner,
how your experience has prepared you for the opportunities you
seek. To help you practice the
skill of formally defending your experiences, skills, and goals,
you will create an academic plan of study for the final project in
this course. In this document, you
will have the opportunity to illustrate your personally designed
strategic plan for achieving your goals and earning a BA.GST
degree.
Your academic plan of study will begin with SMART goal
planning strategies. You will highlight the diversity of
knowledge and skills you plan to attain through the
domains of study that supplement the achievement of the goal
statement. The next step is defending your concentration, which
is a focused area of study and
knowledge that supports your completion of the goal statement.
You will then compile a comprehensive list of the completed

and planned coursework required
to earn your degree by the anticipated graduation date. Finally,
you will present an extended rationale for your goal and the
steps you have outlined to reach that
goal. Your perceived professionalism as you present your
academic plan is just as important as the content of what you
say. Be sure that you cleanly and
professionally format your plan and check your document for
any spelling and grammar errors.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
Two, Three, and Five. The final product will be submitted in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
its connections and value to personal and professional planning
ilize relevant research in explaining how strengths and
weaknesses can be leveraged to achieve personal and
professional goals
study appropriate for academic and professional audiences
ly fundamental goal principles and strategic planning
techniques in supporting feasible plans of academic study

Prompt
Create an academic plan of study that will explain and support
your intention to earn a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies
degree. Begin by forming an
achievable goal statement. Then, discuss your prior and planned
academic learning and how you can use it to direct your
academic and professional planning.
Finally, build a case for your plan of study by articulating its
value to you moving forward. Remember that this is a formal,
professional document that must be
formatted and presented in a manner appropriate for academic
and professional audiences.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
2
I. Goal Statement: In this section, you will introduce the career
and/or personal goals related to achieving your BA.GST degree.
You will do this in a
brief goal statement (one to two paragraphs). You will then
develop a SMART goal related to your academic plan of study.
Remember that your
introduction needs to establish the basis of your decisions for
your audience.
a) Concisely introduce your academic plan of study with a goal
statement that details your career and/or personal goals in a
manner
appropriate for academic and professional audiences.

b) Develop a SMART goal related to your academic plan of
study.
II. Domains of Study: In this section, you will connect your
academic learning to specific domains of study to determine the
value of this knowledge and
how it can be applied to your goal statement. Domains of study
refer to categories that compartmentalize different areas where
you have gained or
intend to gain knowledge, skills, and abilities. These domains
could be as broad as “critical thinking” or “technical writing,”
or they could be as
specific as “the history of Massachusetts as a colony.”
a) Identify three domains that define any prior or planned
academic learning, and name three courses that support each
domain.
b) Explain how any prior or planned academic learning relates
to personal strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to refer to the
specific domains
you are developing. Support your response using research.
c) Explain how any prior or planned academic learning connects
to your goal statement and academic plan of study. Be sure to
address why
this knowledge is valuable to your goals and how will it help
you plan your future.
III. Concentration: To complete this section, you will need to
choose a concentration in the general studies program using the
provided list and then
research what knowledge, skills, and abilities you will need to
complete this concentration.

a) Defend the concentration you have chosen based on how it
will help you achieve your personal or professional goals. Be
sure to reference
the knowledge you plan to gain in the concentration.
b) Back up your assertions with research that supports your
concentration choice.
IV. Coursework: In this section, you will think about your
domains of study and your concentration in relation to your
goal, and you will plan out the
coursework for your entire degree program. This should be a
specific and detailed outline of the number of credits needed,
the courses needed at
each level (200-level, 300-level, etc.), the courses you have
already completed, and so on.
a) Provide an organized list of your degree requirements and
your completed and planned coursework. Be sure to categorize
courses by
domains of study and your concentration where appropriate.
b) Provide a brief annotation (one to two sentences) of each
listed course, illustrating why the course is applicable to your
personal or
professional goals.
Note: All students are expected to review the academic catalog
for prerequisite courses that are required as part of their
program. All courses and
their prerequisites must be program applicable for financial aid
purposes.

V. Academic Rationale: In this section, you will articulate the
value of the BA.GST degree using research and specific
examples to illustrate the benefits
of completing this degree plan.
a) Discuss the larger relevance of the general studies degree to
achieving your goals. Be sure to address the benefits of your
general studies
degree and the value of a diverse education to achieving your
future goals.
b) Incorporate research (e.g., course resources, scholarly
articles, networking sites, webinar opportunities) that will
support you in achieving
your goals.

Advocates are likely to �nd that most corporate career paths are
not
designed for them, but for those focused on their status and
material
gain. However, people with this personality are able to �nd
work that
suits them in just about any �eld.
In fact, Advocates are likely to face the opposite problem. Many
struggle
to begin a career early on because they see ten wildly di �erent
paths
forward, each with its own set of rewards. This can be appealing
but also
heartbreaking, because picking just one means letting go of so
much else.
Truth, Beauty, Purpose
Advocate personalities need to �nd meaning in their work and
to know
that they are helping and connecting with people. An Advocate

working
as a Ferrari salesperson, for example, is highly unlikely.
Their desire to help and connect makes careers in healthcare –
especially
the more holistic varieties – very rewarding for Advocates.
Roles as
counselors, psychologists, doctors, life coaches, and spiritual
guides are
all attractive options.
NEXT:
16Personalities
Advocates’ needs don’t end at meaning, though – any
productive work
can be meaningful, as any productive work helps someone,
somewhere.
Advocate personalities crave creativity, too. They strive to use
their

insight to connect events and situations, creating real change in
others’
lives.
Two Roads Diverged In a Yellow Wood
These needs are hard to meet in a corporate environment, where
Advocates will be forced to manage someone else’s policies
alongside
their own. For this reason, people with the Advocate personality
type are
more likely to �nd independence in a leadership position, or by
simply
creating their own business.
If they choose to go the independent route, they will focus on
applying
their personal touch, creativity, and altruism to everything they
do. This
can be the most rewarding option for Advocate personalities.
When they
step out of the overly humble supporting and noncompetitive
roles they
are often drawn to, they can move into positions where they can
grow
and make a di�erence.

Advocates often pursue expressive careers such as writing,
e�ective
communicators that they are, and author many popular blogs,
stories,
For Advocates, money and Employee of the Month simply won’t
cut
it compared to living their values and principles.

and screenplays. Music, photography, design, and art are viable
options
too, and they all can focus on deeper themes of personal growth,
morality, and spirituality.
Where Advocates struggle is in work that doesn’t take personal
needs
into consideration, is overly repetitious, or promotes con�ict.
Jobs with
these traits will leave Advocate personality types frustrated and
unful�lled. They can also struggle under the criticism and
pressure that
comes with jobs in corporate politics or sales.
Advocate personalities are clever and can do well in any of
these �elds.
To be truly happy, however, they need to be able to work in a
way that
aligns with their values and allows them some independence.
They need
opportunities to learn and grow alongside the people they are
helping
and contribute to the well-being of humanity on a personal

level.

SO true. I was miserable in politics and retail/sales (I was in it
for 3 years and never felt fulfilled
- this was during college times). I'm now a writer and a blogger,
which is crazy how that is
mentioned in my personality type.

2/28/2020 Workplace Habits | Advocate (INFJ) Personality |
16Personalities
https://www.16personalities.com/infjs-at-work 1/5
07Workplace HabitsAdvocates have pretty tall demands when it
comes to a satisfying work
environment. Not only do those with this personality type need
to be able
to express their creativity and insight, they also need to know
that what
they are doing has meaning.
Advocate
Personality
INFJ-A / INFJ-T

https://www.16personalities.com/infj-conclusion

16Personalities
People with this personality type need to know that their work
helps
people and promotes their own personal growth. Their work
must be in
line with their values, principles, and beliefs all the way.
Oftentimes, the best way for Advocate personalities to achieve
this is not
to have to answer to others’ rules at all. Instead, they should
strive to be
their own boss, neither above nor below anyone else, just
directly
interacting with the people and ideas that are important to them.
All that being said, Advocates are a clever and inspired group.
With a few
of the right conditions, almost any position can be made to work
for
them.
Advocate Subordinates
As subordinates, Advocates are likely to do poorly with strict

rules, formal
structures, and routine tasks. People with the Advocate
personality type
value cooperation and sensitivity. The more open-minded and
personal
their manager’s style is, and the more they feel their personal
input is
NEXT:
16Personalities
Advocates act on their convictions, so when they do something,
it’s
something that has meaning to them. If those actions come
under
criticism, especially the unwarranted kind, their morale is likely
to tank
spectacularly.
A manager’s values need to be in line with the Advocate’s for
both sides

to work well together. Though usually idealistic, if their work
environment
does not line up with their values, people with the Advocate
personality
type can become angry and bitter. But if it’s a balance they can
handle,
with a little encouragement every now and then, Advocates will
work hard
and thrive. People with this personality type are more than
capable of
handling tasks and workplace relationships.
Advocate Colleagues
As colleagues, Advocate personalities are likely to become
quite popular.
They are likely to be seen as positive, eloquent, and capable
friends.
Among their greatest strengths is the ability to identify others’
motives
and defuse con�icts and tension before anyone else even senses
a
disturbance.
Advocates are likely to place more importance on working
together over

e�ciency, encouraging hard work, and helping others when
needed.
While this is usually a strength, there is a risk that others will
take
advantage of Advocates’ desire to get things done. Coworkers
may do this
– on purpose or without realizing it – by shifting their tasks
onto their
more dedicated Advocate coworkers’ desks.
NEXT:
16Personalities
It should also be remembered that, at the end of the day,
Advocates are
still Introverts, and this kind of popularity isn’t always
welcome. They will
need to step back and act the lone wolf from time to time,
pursuing their

own goals in their own ways. An unhealthy version of this
tendency may
pop up if Advocates sense that their values are being
compromised by a
more ethically relaxed colleague.
�� I �u�a�G�>�o�K��! �>�_�>�Q�K�l�m
As managers, Advocates often dislike using their power.
Individuals with
this personality type prefer to see those who work under them as
equals.
They do this by focusing on coordinating tasks and supervisi ng
people,
leaving the facts and details to others. They work hard to
encourage
others, not to crack the whip.
That’s not to say that people with the Advocate personality type
have low
standards – far from it. The Advocates’ sense of equality means
that they
expect their subordinates to be as competent, motivated, and
reliable as
the Advocates themselves.
Advocate managers are sensitive, understanding, and fair, able

to
appreciate individual styles and to make accurate judgments
about
others’ motivations. However, if an employee’s actions or
attitude
undermines an Advocate manager’s ethics or values, they will
�nd little
comfort in these qualities.
People with this personality type have no tolerance for lapses in
reliability
or morality. But, so long as no such lapse occurs, Advocates
will work�+

about. This strength makes them excellent counselors and

advisors.
Insightful – Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous
motives,
Advocates step past manipulation and sales tactics and into a
more
honest discussion. Advocate personalities see how people and
events are connected. They are then able to use that insight to
get
to the heart of the matter.
Inspiring and Convincing – Speaking in human terms, not
technical, Advocates have a �uid, inspirational writing style
that
appeals to the inner idealist in their audience. Advocates can
even
be astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and
passion.
This is especially true if they are proud of what they are
speaking
for.

3/6
Decisive – Advocates’ creativity, insight, and inspiration are
able to
have a real impact on the world. This is because they are able to
follow through on their ideas with conviction, willpower, and
the
planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end.
People with the Advocate personality type don’t just see the
way
things ought to be; they act on those insights.
Determined and Passionate – When Advocates come to believe
that something is important, they pursue that goal with a
conviction and energy that can catch others o�-guard.
Advocates
will rock the boat if they must. Not everyone likes to see this,
but
their passion for their chosen cause is an inseparable part of the
Advocate personality.

Altruistic – These strengths are used for good. Advocates will
not
engage in any actions or promote beliefs just to bene�t
themselves. They have strong beliefs and take the actions that
they
do because they are trying to advance an idea that they truly
believe will make the world a better place.
Advocate Weaknesses
NEXT:
4/6
Sensitive – When someone challenges or criticizes Advocates’
principles or values, they are likely to receive an alarmingly
strong
response. People with the Advocate personality type are highly
vulnerable to criticism and con�ict. Questioning their motives

is the
quickest way to their bad side.
Extremely Private – Advocates tend to present themselves as the
culmination of an idea. This is partly because they believe in
this
idea, but also because Advocates are extremely private when it
comes to their personal lives. They use this image to keep
themselves from having to truly open up, even to close friends.
Trusting a new friend can be even more challenging for
Advocates.
Perfectionistic – Advocate personalities are all but de�ned by
their pursuit of ideals. While this is a wonderful quality in many
ways, an ideal situation is not always possible – in politics, in
business, in romance. Advocates, especially Turbulent ones, too
often drop or ignore healthy and productive situations and

relationships, always believing there might be a better option
down
the road.
Always Need to Have a Cause – Advocate personalities get so
caught up in their pursuits that any of the cumbersome tasks
that
come between them and their ideal vision is deeply unwelcome.
Advocates like to know that they are taking concrete steps
toward
their goals. If routine tasks feel like they are getting in the way

– or
worse yet, there is no goal at all – they will feel restless and
disappointed.
Can Burn Out Easily – Their passion, impatience for routine
maintenance, idealism, and extreme privacy tend to leave
Advocates with few options for letting o� steam. People with
this
personality type are likely to exhaust themselves in short order
if
they don’t �nd a way to balance their ideals with the realities
of
day-to-day living.

As long as I can remember, I’ve always dreamed to work in the

health field. At seventeen years old, I thought that I would
either be a physician or a pharmacist. Little did I know that this
dream would change after life experiences. When I started
college, I was a chemistry major. I really enjoyed the first two
years, however I slowly realized that maybe this major wasn’t
it. I then switch to biology. The first semester was great then
suddenly life started giving me lemons. With financial, family
and other personal issues, I started having very poor grades. On
my senior year, I decided to take a break from school and move
back to Haiti to recalibrate myself. Meanwhile, with all my
credits from school, I was able to find a position as a Sensory
Coordinator in the Coca-Cola bottling plant located in Haiti. In
this position I had to manage the microbiology and sensory lab.
I enjoyed what I was doing but I was still determined to work in
the health field. I decided that I would go back to school. I
started taking classes at SNHU to have a degree in Health
Information. I wasn’t satisfied with my choice and felt
something was missing. As I was taking classes at SNHU, I was
taking other courses for my job to obtain certificates. I was
striving in those courses but not the ones from SNHU. I slowly
realized that my love for health have changed to manufacturing.
Although for the last six years working in the manufacturing
field, I’ve gained my way up from being a sensory coordinator
to a management system manager then now to a production
manager, I find it important to obtain my bachelor’s. First
reason is for me; I will feel accomplished. Second reason is for
my husband and my almost six-month-old baby boy. Finally, the
third reason is because I am moving back in the United Stated. I
would like to improve my skills and be able to find a good
position at a company. Obtaining a BA.GS with a concentration
in International Business will help me attain my goal quicker.
With a concentration in international business I will have a
basic knowledge in business which will help me earn my
certificate in Operations and Supply Chain management with
ease.
At thirty-two years old, I never imagined that I would still not

have a bachelor’s degree. In order to reach to my goal, there are
strengths and weakness that I will leverage. One strength that I
will leverage is passion and determination. I am very close to
the finish line now that I have two classes left to obtain my
BA.GS. I will use all the necessary resources either inside or
outside of SNHU to help me succeed. My sensitivity has caused
many negatives impact into my life. It affected my ability to
take the right decisions for me. I tend to question my motives
and don’t like criticism. I will learn to take criticism positively.
This will be me grow and see things in another perspective I
will also work on believing in myself and following in instincts.
With two classes left I will be completing my BA.GS degree
after term 5 which will end in June. I will start right away with
the courses for the operations and supply chain management
certificate which I will complete in June 2021.After completing
this program, I will, right away, start looking for a position in
the US.
With the completion of the operations and supply chain
management certificate, I will have more opportunities to obtain
management positions like Supply chain analyst, Logistics
manager, consultant, and more. In order to organize my
amenities into specialized skills, there are three domains that
will help me.
With the completion of the operations and supply chain
management certificate, I will have more opportunities to obtain
management positions like Supply chain analyst, Logistics
manager, consultant, and more. In order to organize my
amenities into specialized skills, there are three domains that
will help me.
The first domain is business. With many countries in
competition with each other, it is important to have a basic
knowledge in internationally business, which is my choice of
concentration. Everything is globally evolving. The
International Business concentration is divided in two parts.
There are two business and two management courses. I have
previously taken the Introduction to International Business,

International Management and Principles of Management. This
classes have helped me gained more understa nding in the
international financial environment.
The second domain is communication. In all the roles mentioned
before, communication is one of the most important domains.
For example, a Purchasing Manager needs to have very good
communication skill. The role of the Purchasing manager is to
buy products for a company to use or resell. The Purchasing
Manager as direct contact with the suppliers. Negotiate
contracts, evaluate suppliers and review product quality. In
order to better my communication skill, I have taken
Communication elective and college English composition
classes.
Given that I majored in Biology from another instruction, all my
credits were transferred to SNHU. When I started SNHU, I
majored in Health Information BA.GS. After changing to the
BA.GS, I had 18 credits left to obtain my degree. Twelve of
those credits are 4 courses from my chosen concentration which
is International Business. The remaining 6 credits are the
Strategies for Spec Planning course, and one integration cluster
course to be chosen from IDS-400 (401,402, 403, and 404). I
have decided to choose IDS-401 Global society. I have always
been interested in gaining more knowledge in facts and issues
that are going globally, I feel like this course will help me gain
that knowledge and also strengthen my critical thinking skills
which is needed for long term goal. This course will count
toward the four courses at the 300 or 400 level. The other 3
courses will be chosen from the courses that are at level 300
and up listed in the International Business concentration. So far,
I have already taken 3 out 4 courses from my concentration
which are: INT-113 Intro to Int’l Business, INT-309 Legal
Environment of int’l Bus, and OL-215 Principles of
Management.
As I mentioned early, I majored in Biology and Health
Information Management before deciding to change to BA.GS
which resulted to me never taking any business classes. When I

started with the Health Information Management degree, I felt
like something was missing. I needed to go back to the basic for
a refreshing training. Most of the skills that I gained in
management were throughout my path and experience in the
manufacturing industry. Wanting to gain knowledge in what is
going globally, it was not hard for me the choose International
Business as a concentration. The 3 courses that I have taken so
far, my abilities to plan, organize and prioritize have much
improved. Those skills are crucial to achieving of my long-term
goal to obtain a certificate in Supply Chain and Operations
management. I have outlined a list of my degree requirements.
In this table, you will see all the courses that I have completed
and that I planned on taking.

IND 299 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this course, you will explore the value of the Bachelor of
Arts in General Studies (BA.GST) degree and how the vast
knowledge gained in this diverse
educational program gives you an innovative edge
professionally, personally, and for civic engagement. As you
prepare for your future beyond this degree, it is
crucial that you be able to articulate, in a professional manner,
how your experience has prepared you for the opportunities you
seek. To help you practice the
skill of formally defending your experiences, skills, and goals,
you will create an academic plan of study for the final project in
this course. In this document, you
will have the opportunity to illustrate your personally designed
strategic plan for achieving your goals and earning a BA.GST
degree.

Your academic plan of study will begin with SMART goal
planning strategies. You will highlight the diversity of
knowledge and skills you plan to attain through the
domains of study that supplement the achievement of the goal
statement. The next step is defending your concentration, which
is a focused area of study and
knowledge that supports your completion of the goal statement.
You will then compile a comprehensive list of the completed
and planned coursework required
to earn your degree by the anticipated graduation date. Finally,
you will present an extended rationale for your goal and the
steps you have outlined to reach that
goal. Your perceived professionalism as you present your
academic plan is just as important as the content of what you
say. Be sure that you cleanly and
professionally format your plan and check your document for
any spelling and grammar errors.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
Two, Three, and Five. The final product will be submitted in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
its connections and value to personal and professional planning

weaknesses can be leveraged to achieve personal and
professional goals
study appropriate for academic and professional audiences
techniques in supporting feasible plans of academic study
Prompt
Create an academic plan of study that will explain and support
your intention to earn a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies
degree. Begin by forming an
achievable goal statement. Then, discuss your prior and planned
academic learning and how you can use it to direct your
academic and professional planning.
Finally, build a case for your plan of study by articulating its
value to you moving forward. Remember that this is a formal,
professional document that must be
formatted and presented in a manner appropriate for academic
and professional audiences.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
2
I. Goal Statement: In this section, you will introduce the career
and/or personal goals related to achieving your BA.GST degree.
You will do this in a
brief goal statement (one to two paragraphs). You will then

develop a SMART goal related to your academic plan of study.
Remember that your
introduction needs to establish the basis of your decisions for
your audience.
a) Concisely introduce your academic plan of study with a goal
statement that details your career and/or personal goals in a
manner
appropriate for academic and professional audiences.
b) Develop a SMART goal related to your academic plan of
study.
II. Domains of Study: In this section, you will connect your
academic learning to specific domains of study to determine the
value of this knowledge and
how it can be applied to your goal statement. Domains of study
refer to categories that compartmentalize different areas where
you have gained or
intend to gain knowledge, skills, and abilities. These domains
could be as broad as “critical thinking” or “technical writing,”
or they could be as
specific as “the history of Massachusetts as a colony.”
a) Identify three domains that define any prior or planned
academic learning, and name three courses that support each
domain.
b) Explain how any prior or planned academic learning relates
to personal strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to refer to the
specific domains
you are developing. Support your response using research.
c) Explain how any prior or planned academic learning connects
to your goal statement and academic plan of study. Be sure to
address why

this knowledge is valuable to your goals and how will it help
you plan your future.
III. Concentration: To complete this section, you will need to
choose a concentration in the general studies program using the
provided list and then
research what knowledge, skills, and abilities you will need to
complete this concentration.
a) Defend the concentration you have chosen based on how it
will help you achieve your personal or professional goals. Be
sure to reference
the knowledge you plan to gain in the concentration.
b) Back up your assertions with research that supports your
concentration choice.
IV. Coursework: In this section, you will think about your
domains of study and your concentration in relation to your
goal, and you will plan out the
coursework for your entire degree program. This should be a
specific and detailed outline of the number of credits needed,
the courses needed at
each level (200-level, 300-level, etc.), the courses you have
already completed, and so on.
a) Provide an organized list of your degree requirements and
your completed and planned coursework. Be sure to categorize
courses by
domains of study and your concentration where appropriate.
b) Provide a brief annotation (one to two sentences) of each
listed course, illustrating why the course is applicable to your
personal or

professional goals.
Note: All students are expected to review the academic catalog
for prerequisite courses that are required as part of their
program. All courses and
their prerequisites must be program applicable for financial aid
purposes.

07Workplace HabitsAdvocates have pretty tall demands when it
comes to a satisfying work
environment. Not only do those with this personality type need
to be able
to express their creativity and insight, they also need to know
that what
they are doing has meaning.

Personality

INFJ-A / INFJ-T

16Personalities
People with this personality type need to know that their work
helps
people and promotes their own personal growth. Their work
must be in
line with their values, principles, and beliefs all the way.
Oftentimes, the best way for Advocate personalities to achieve
this is not
to have to answer to others’ rules at all. Instead, they should
strive to be
their own boss, neither above nor below anyone else, just
directly
interacting with the people and ideas that are important to them.

All that being said, Advocates are a clever and inspired group.
With a few
of the right conditions, almost any position can be made to work
for
them.
Advocate Subordinates
As subordinates, Advocates are likely to do poorly with strict
rules, formal
structures, and routine tasks. People with the Advocate
personality type
value cooperation and sensitivity. The more open-minded and
personal
their manager’s style is, and the more they feel their personal
input is
NEXT:
16Personalities
Advocates act on their convictions, so when they do something,

it’s
something that has meaning to them. If those actions come
under
criticism, especially the unwarranted kind, their morale is likely
to tank
spectacularly.
A manager’s values need to be in line with the Advocate’s for
both sides
to work well together. Though usually idealistic, if their work
environment
does not line up with their values, people with the Advocate
personality
type can become angry and bitter. But if it’s a balance they can
handle,
with a little encouragement every now and then, Advocates will
work hard
and thrive. People with this personality type are more than
capable of
handling tasks and workplace relationships.
Advocate Colleagues
As colleagues, Advocate personalities are likely to become
quite popular.
They are likely to be seen as positive, eloquent, and capable

friends.
Among their greatest strengths is the ability to identify others’
motives
and defuse con�icts and tension before anyone else even senses
a
disturbance.
Advocates are likely to place more importance on working
together over
e�ciency, encouraging hard work, and helping others when
needed.
While this is usually a strength, there is a risk that others will
take
advantage of Advocates’ desire to get things done. Coworkers
may do this
– on purpose or without realizing it – by shifting their tasks
onto their
more dedicated Advocate coworkers’ desks.

16Personalities

It should also be remembered that, at the end of the day,
Advocates are
still Introverts, and this kind of popularity isn’t always
welcome. They will
need to step back and act the lone wolf from time to time,
pursuing their
own goals in their own ways. An unhealthy version of this
tendency may
pop up if Advocates sense that their values are being
compromised by a
more ethically relaxed colleague.
Advocate Managers
As managers, Advocates often dislike using their power.
Individuals with
this personality type prefer to see those who work under them as
equals.
They do this by focusing on coordinating tasks and supervising
people,
leaving the facts and details to others. They work hard to
encourage
others, not to crack the whip.

That’s not to say that people with the Advocate personality type
have low
standards – far from it. The Advocates’ sense of equality means
that they
expect their subordinates to be as competent, motivated, and
reliable as
the Advocates themselves.
Advocate managers are sensitive, understanding, and fair, able
to
appreciate individual styles and to make accurate judgments
about
others’ motivations. However, if an employee’s actions or
attitude
undermines an Advocate manager’s ethics or values, they will
�nd little
comfort in these qualities.
People with this personality type have no tolerance for lapses in
reliability
or morality. But, so long as no such lapse occurs, Advocates

02Strengths & WeaknessesAdvocate Strengths
Advocate
Personality
INFJ-A / INFJ-T

NEXT:
2/6
Creative – Combining a vivid imagination with a strong sense of
compassion, Advocates use their creativity to resolve not
technical
challenges, but human ones. People with the Advocate
personality
type enjoy �nding the perfect solution for someone they care
about. This strength makes them excellent counselors and
advisors.
Insightful – Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous
motives,
Advocates step past manipulation and sales tactics and into a
more
honest discussion. Advocate personalities see how people and

events are connected. They are then able to use that insight to
get
to the heart of the matter.
Inspiring and Convincing – Speaking in human terms, not
technical, Advocates have a �uid, inspirational writing style
that
appeals to the inner idealist in their audience. Advocates can
even
be astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and
passion.
This is especially true if they are proud of what they are
speaking
for.
NEXT:
3/6
Decisive – Advocates’ creativity, insight, and inspiration are

able to
have a real impact on the world. This is because they are able to
follow through on their ideas with conviction, willpower, and
the
planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end.
People with the Advocate personality type don’t just see the
way
things ought to be; they act on those insights.
Determined and Passionate – When Advocates come to believe
that something is important, they pursue that goal with a
conviction and energy that can catch others o�-guard.
Advocates
will rock the boat if they must. Not everyone likes to see this,
but
their passion for their chosen cause is an inseparable part of the
Advocate personality.
Altruistic – These strengths are used for good. Advocates will
not
engage in any actions or promote beliefs just to bene�t
themselves. They have strong beliefs and take the actions that
they

do because they are trying to advance an idea that they truly
believe will make the world a better place.
Advocate Weaknesses
NEXT:
4/6
Sensitive – When someone challenges or criticizes Advocates’
principles or values, they are likely to receive an alarmingly
strong
response. People with the Advocate personality type are highly
vulnerable to criticism and con�ict. Questioning their motives
is the
quickest way to their bad side.
Extremely Private – Advocates tend to present themselves as the
culmination of an idea. This is partly because they believe in
this

idea, but also because Advocates are extremely private when it
comes to their personal lives. They use this image to keep
themselves from having to truly open up, even to close friends.
Trusting a new friend can be even more challenging for
Advocates.
Perfectionistic – Advocate personalities are all but de�ned by
their pursuit of ideals. While this is a wonderful quality i n many
ways, an ideal situation is not always possible – in politics, in
business, in romance. Advocates, especially Turbulent ones, too
often drop or ignore healthy and productive situations and

relationships, always believing there might be a better option
down
the road.
Always Need to Have a Cause – Advocate personalities get so
caught up in their pursuits that any of the cumbersome tasks
that
come between them and their ideal vision is deeply unwelcome.
Advocates like to know that they are taking concrete steps
toward
their goals. If routine tasks feel like they are getting in the way
– or
worse yet, there is no goal at all – they will feel restless and
disappointed.
Can Burn Out Easily – Their passion, impatience for routine
maintenance, idealism, and extreme privacy tend to leave

Advocates with few options for letting o� steam. People with
this
personality type are likely to exhaust themselves in short order
if
they don’t �nd a way to balance their ideals with the realities
of
day-to-day living.

wonderful, challenging,
adventurous, and uncertain, than to say, ’I don’t want to try
because I may
not succeed completely.’”

Personality

Advocates are likely to �nd that most corporate career paths are
not
designed for them, but for those focused on their status and
material
gain. However, people with this personality are able to �nd
work that
suits them in just about any �eld.
In fact, Advocates are likely to face the opposite problem. Many
struggle
to begin a career early on because they see ten wildly di �erent
paths
forward, each with its own set of rewards. This can be appealing
but also
heartbreaking, because picking just one means letting go of so

much else.
Truth, Beauty, Purpose
Advocate personalities need to �nd meaning in their work and
to know
that they are helping and connecting with people. An Advocate
working
as a Ferrari salesperson, for example, is highly unlikely.
Their desire to help and connect makes careers in healthcare –
especially
the more holistic varieties – very rewarding for Advocates.
Roles as
counselors, psychologists, doctors, life coaches, and spiritual
guides are
all attractive options.
NEXT:
16Personalities
Advocates’ needs don’t end at meaning, though – any

productive work
can be meaningful, as any productive work helps someone,
somewhere.
Advocate personalities crave creativity, too. They strive to use
their
insight to connect events and situations, creating real change in
others’
lives.
Two Roads Diverged In a Yellow Wood
These needs are hard to meet in a corporate environment, where
Advocates will be forced to manage someone else’s policies
alongside
their own. For this reason, people with the Advocate personality
type are
more likely to �nd independence in a leadership position, or by
simply
creating their own business.
If they choose to go the independent route, they will focus on
applying
their personal touch, creativity, and altruism to everything they
do. This
can be the most rewarding option for Advocate personalities.
When they

step out of the overly humble supporting and noncompetitive
roles they
are often drawn to, they can move into positions where they can
grow
and make a di�erence.
Advocates often pursue expressive careers such as writing,
e�ective
communicators that they are, and author many popular blogs,
stories,

and screenplays. Music, photography, design, and art are viable
options
too, and they all can focus on deeper themes of personal growth,
morality, and spirituality.
Where Advocates struggle is in work that doesn’t take personal
needs
into consideration, is overly repetitious, or promotes con�ict.
Jobs with
these traits will leave Advocate personality types frustrated and
unful�lled. They can also struggle under the criticism and
pressure that
comes with jobs in corporate politics or sales.
Advocate personalities are clever and can do well in any of
these �elds.
To be truly happy, however, they need to be able to work in a
way that

aligns with their values and allows them some independence.
They need
opportunities to learn and grow alongside the people they are
helping
and contribute to the well-being of humanity on a personal
level.
