Total intensity and polarization structure of extragalactic radio jets are presented in support of models that jets are threaded by helical magnetic fields. Helical magnetic field models predict the following features i) asymmetric distribution in both or either the total and polarized intensity across the jet, ii)displacement between the maxima of total and polarized intensity distributions, iii) abrupt rotation (90 degrees) of the magnetic field position angle (MVPA) and iv) edge brightening in polarization and total intensity. VLBI observations of parsec-scale jets are presented, showing examples of the above predicted features; in one case all four predicted features are present in one source (1055+018).%T GPS studies during the ENIGMA era
