0024.

So, I did that personality test Jontay posted.

And I'm an ISFJ: Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging.


A lot of what it says is so true about me. A few things I don't comply with--but I mean, really. People are incredibly complex so there's no way it could describe everyone individually.

But it is kind of weird how accurate some of it is...
Here are some quotes from the websites about ISFJ's that fit me:

-The primary desire of the Protector Guardian is to be of service to others, but here "service" means not so much furnishing others with the necessities of life (the Provider's concern), as guarding others against life's pitfalls and perils, that is, seeing to their safety and security.

***-They are not as outgoing and talkative as the Providers, except with close friends and relatives. With these they can chat tirelessly about the ups and downs in their lives, moving (like all the Guardians) from topic to topic as they talk over their everyday concerns. However, their shyness with strangers is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth these Protectors are warm-hearted and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need.

-Their quietness ought really to be seen as an expression, not of coldness, but of their sincerity and seriousness of purpose.

- unusual talent for executing routines

-Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them.

*(haha, craig)-if any of their nearest and dearest depart from the straight-and-narrow, it causes the ISFJ major embarrassment: the closer the relationship and the more public the act, the more intense the embarrassment

-Like most Is, ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice. (However, like most Fs they hate confrontation)
(um--YES.)
