Here’s How Each Personality Type Feels About Physical Labor
Not everyone is naturally skilled at physical labor, and some people find it just plain exhausting. Here is how each personality type responds to physical labor.
INFJ
INFJs are often viewed as mentally and emotionally focused people, but they are actually very capable of physical labor. They often find that they enjoy being able to zone out and perform the task without much worry. INFJs might enjoy being able to work with their hands and not have to do mental work, so that they can just allow their minds to wander. INFJs have incredibly rich inner minds, which makes mentally difficult work somewhat draining for them. They often enjoy the ability to just focus on the task at hand, and let their minds sort of daydream about different things.
ENFJ
ENFJs are rarely afraid of getting their hands dirty, since they often take on most tasks themselves. They are rarely hesitant to perform most physical tasks, and usually find themselves quite capable. ENFJs might prefer mental skills over physical ones, but they can definitely handle both. ENFJs hate feeling they are incapable of doing something, and will usually push themselves because of this. They might even enjoy the feeling of getting something done, and feel even more accomplished when they perform certain physical labor.
INFP
INFPs might enjoy physical labor on a more occasional basis, and become tired of it if is a daily task. Certain physical labor jobs are rather repetitive, which can become boring and exhausting for INFPs. They prefer something exciting and mentally stimulating, as far as a regular job goes. INFPs might enjoy being able to perform the occasional physical labor tasks, simply because they can daydream while they are doing it. They are not usually incapable of physical labor, they just become rather bored with repetitive tasks of any kind.
ENFP
ENFPs are usually very good at physical labor, and might enjoy being able to see something getting done. They will likely enjoy the feeling of completion when they actually get to get their hands dirty and finish a task. ENFPs can become bored rather easily though, and would need a physical job that allows them to do different things instead of the same exact tasks. Having to perform any sort of monotonous task is draining and extremely daunting for ENFPs. They enjoy being able to involve their hands in something, so physical labor is usually not frightening for them at all.
INTJ
INTJs often enjoy that physical labor allows them plenty of time to think and let their minds wander. INTJs have extremely active minds, but they enjoy being able to explore different ideas. If they are forced to work in a job that is constantly mentally demanding, it means they do not get to choose where their thoughts are focused. INTJs are usually skilled at anything they put their minds to, and will adjust to physical job rather well. They dislike working in a situation where they feel like they are being used though, and would likely need to perform manual labor that allows them plenty of room to grow and better themselves.
ENTJ
ENTJs are certainly not afraid of physical labor, and often enjoy getting things done. Performing physical tasks actually feels rather rewarding for ENTJs because they can see their progress rather clearly.

They definitely do not do well if they are not capable of growth in their careers, and will become frustrated if they are stagnant for too long. ENTJs likely will enjoy physical labor if it is as a side job, or simply something they can do as a hobby.
INTP
Most physical labor jobs are actually quite exhausting for INTPs, simply because they feel like they cannot grow and move forward. If something is not mentally stimulating for the INTP, they will become drained by it. They enjoy being able to feel challenged, and many physical labor jobs are rather monotonous. INTPs are usually capable of pushing themselves, and might enjoy certain physical activities, but they definitely prefer things that are more mentally active. INTPs might find that they enjoy certain manual labor though, especially if it allows them to daydream and think about different things while they are doing it.
ENTP
ENTPs often do not mind physical labor, especially if they feel challenged by it. They enjoy participating in anything that helps to push them, and helps them grow. If the ENTP feels like they are performing monotonous tasks, they will become quickly drained by this. ENTPs don’t mind physical labor that helps them feel engaged and eager to learn. They might bounce from one job to another, especially if they feel like they have no room to improve in that position. Physical labor that helps the ENTP feel excited and passionate, will definitely keep them interested.
ISTJ
ISTJs have an insanely impressive work ethic, and are always willing to push themselves to improve.

ESTJ
ESTJs will enjoy certain physical labor, if it allows them to improve themselves. ESTJs like being able to take charge of a situation, and only do well if they have room to grow in their position. If they are stuck in a stagnant job where they cannot showcase their skill, the ESTJ will feel the need to step away from that position. ESTJs need to feel like they are being validated for their efforts, and because of this they often do best in positions that take this into account.
ISFJ
