General practitioners (GPs) and family physicians diagnose and treat the diseases, physiological disorders and injuries of patients. They also look for health risks, address health prevention (immunizations, treatments, etc.), and manage end-of-life issues. They are the primary contact for an individual and provide continuous care toward the management of a patients' health.
Residents in training to be general practitioners and family physicians are included in this unit group.
General practitioners and family physicians work in private practices, community health centres, clinics, nursing homes and hospitals. They may also work for government and other types of health organizations. They provide care to a specific client base or to the community at large.
Family physicians and GPs should have strong communication and interpersonal skills, as doctor-patient relationships are central to their roles as physicians. In addition, they must have strong analytical skills and a background in the sciences. General practitioners and family physicians are also required to continually update their skills and knowledge throughout their career in order to provide patients with optimal care.

Biography
After doing the personality test, I was given the acronym ENFJ. The 4 letters stand for Extravert(E) Intuitive(N) Feeling(F) and Judgement(J). I was strong in both the extravert and intuitive statistics, while having only a moderate amount in the feeling and judgement statistics. I was quite happy when I got my results, as I feel it was quite accurate. First off, the test revealed that I was highly extravert. This means that I am very social and am not afraid to share emotions with people around me! I love mingling with new people, and can make friends easily. I think I was always a social person, but was also pushed to be social as I have moved quite a bit around the world and always made new friends very easily. In essense, ENFJ's are also said to have large amounts of charisma, which I am often told I have. I find it funny to see myself as charming, but it definitely adds to the fact that I am very extravert. Next off, I am also highly intuitive. This means that I can acquire knowledge about things without reason or the use of reasoning. I find that not everything has to have an answer, and sometimes, there are so many different variables that its impossible to rationalize the answer that makes the most sense. I also find myself trying to reconstruct all the different kind of ways something could happen! Its easiest to summarize intuition with Sherlock Holmes. If you have read any of his books, you will find that after he solves his case he gives an elaborate explanation with the craziest ideas and theories. This is intuition, the ability to find answers or knowledge without always taking the reasonable path. My third letter was F for feeling. This was only a moderate stat, but nonetheless is still noticable. I act off emotions quite a bit. Depending on how I feel, I might be a completely different person. Although I don't like to admit it, one of the main ways I see this in myself is during soccer. If I am getting trashtalked or have just gotten fouled quite badly, I often find myself filling up with anger. I usually later try to retaliate, and though I know it is the wrong thing do to, I can't help it! And although I put up a tough shell, I am quite a sensitive person. I can never watch the relief commercials or SPCA commercials cause it makes me so sad, and sometimes jokes really get to me. However, this has allowed me to step into other peoples shoes, and I can understand how they are feeling. My last letter was J for judging. This was also a moderate stat. I can see this in myself as well. I find myself quick to be able to judge a situation or person and conclude what I think about them. This comes with the ENFJ profile, as well as being inter-personally organized. This is very true for me. ENFJ's are often very messy people, with unorganized desks and equipment(me). However, their thoughts are usually extremely organized, and with the help of quick judgement, ENFJ's have a good decisiveness. To me, this test nailed me spot on. First looking at it, I found myself disagreeing with some points it made. However, after reading over in more detail what it meant to be an ENFJ, I began to agree with it more and more. So in all, I do agree that this was a very accurate test.
