5. Type ISFJ


"According to Myers-Briggs, ISFJs are interested in maintaining order and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are steadfast and meticulous in handling their responsibilities. Although quiet, they are people-oriented and very observant. Not only do they remember details about others, but they observe and respect others’ feelings. Friends and family are likely to describe them as thoughtful and trustworthy. 

According to Keirsey, ISFJs, or "Protector Guardians", are most concerned with taking care of people by keeping them safe and secure. They are modest caretakers who do not demand credit or thanks for their efforts. But while they are essentially compassionate—and in fact exercise more patience in dealing with people with disabilities than perhaps any other type—their shyness with strangers can lead others to misread them as standoffish. Only among friends and family may this quiet type feel comfortable speaking freely. ISFJs are serious people with a strong work ethic, not inclined to self-indulgence. They believe in being meticulous and thrifty. They work well alone. While they may enjoy taking care of others, they do not enjoy giving orders."

What's your type? 

I belong to type ISFJ.  I find most of the points are well-desbribed about me as a person except for the 'quite' part i guess. But seriously speaking, i only talk to people who i feel comfortable with. And only the people i care will see the real me. I do not have to go extra miles to prove myself, as people who understand me know me. 

Hmm, "I can work well alone".. Oh well, mostly yes and partly no depends on the situation. Like what i have aforementioned, i am a 'shy' type. My work needs me to meet lots of strangers (which means I'm not comfortable with) and this is the 'show time' of my extreme shyness. However, one thing for sure, i am serious people with strong work ethic, i do not simply give false information and i stand strong my points all the time. I do not like to play around when comes to work. Guess this must go with my personality of loving to keep people safe and secure. 

Trustworthy is another personality which I'm kinda proud of myself. A big clap for myself!! Anyway, i find high reliability of this test in describing my personality. Of course, for sure there are some people out there who do not think so and love to do comparison with other sources to test its accuracy and reliability. But why? Haha, guess I'm just too simple-minded.

Guess I had kind of a rough day today. Didn't sleep well last night though. Too much thoughts! (oppps, this contradicts with my simple minded personality). Haha, Im Gemini. Okay?

Btw, just found this. Interesting.
