Personality Quiz

So I took it, and I got: ISFJ. Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging.

ISFJs generally have the following traits:
-Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people
-Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions
-Excellent memory for details which are important to them (like every little detail about socail studies I remember)
-Very in-tune with their surroundings - excellent sense of space and function
-Can be depended on to follow things through to completion
-Will work long and hard to see that jobs get done (if we're talking about homework that I just want to get done, then no)
-Stable, practical, down-to-earth - they dislike working with theory and abstract thought (that is half true)
-Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them (like algebra! haha just kidding)
-Value security, tradition, and peaceful living
-Service-oriented: focused on what people need and want
-Kind and considerate
-Likely to put others' needs above their own
-Learn best with hands-on training
-creating structure and order
-Take their responsibilities seriously (not all the time)
-Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation (I hate confrontation!)

While their work ethic is high on the ISFJ priority list (not true), their families are the centers of their lives (very true). ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle--and often possessive of their loved ones, as well. When these include Es who want to socialize with the rest of the world, or self-contained ITs, the ISFJ must learn to adjust to these behaviors and not interpret them as rejection. Being SJs, they place a strong emphasis on conventional behavior.
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; if you get into a fight, don't expect them to jump in after you. You can count on them, however, run and get the nearest authority figure.) Unlike with EPs, the older the friendship is, the more an ISFJ will value it.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFJ:
-Interior Decorators
-Designers
-Nurses
-Administrators and Managers
-Administrative Assistants
-Child Care / Early Childhood Development
-Social Work / Counselors (no way!)
-Paralegals
-Clergy / Religious Workers
-Office Managers
-Shopkeepers
-Bookkeepers (oooooh I wanna be that!)
-Home Economics

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (I know him! He's a famous peot.)
Queen Elizabeth II of England (Huh. Which one was she again?)
Robert E. Lee
Queen Mary I ("Bloody Mary") of England (interesting...I've heard legends about her.)
