A True ISFJ

• ISFJ’s are typically private and reserved, conscientious, loyal, selfless, and responsible.

• Naturally warm and nurturing, no other type is as unconditionally kind and considerate as you. You go to almost any amount of trouble, (when it makes sense to you), to help those in need.

• You honor traditions and perform best in situations where the rules are well defined, so you know what’s expected of you.

• You have a strong work ethic and are at your best when quietly providing assistance and making sure things are in order.

• You absorb and enjoy using a large number of facts and prefer to visualize all of the details of a situation before taking action.

• You can be painstakingly accurate, systematic and thorough in handling tasks and are easily irked when interrupted or questioned about your methods.

• You need to have things organized in a way you think works. You cannot and will not work when things are out of order - you have to reorganize them immediately...”winging it” is not your style.

 Relationships 

• ISFJ’s highly value their relationships and strive to maintain cooperation and harmony with others. Relationships provide the opportunity to serve others and bring about feelings of happiness in those they really care about.

• In a relationship, you value stability and loyalty above all else; you keep your promises and demand the same from others you care about.

• You don’t just want a partner in love, you want a partner in life – where you’re able to merge your lifestyles and experience life as one.

 Recommendations

• Stop worrying so much! You spend too much time focusing on worst-case scenarios; yes they are a possibility, but how often does the worst happen?

• You can become caught up in the daily grind, and you must take time to relax even if your tasks are not done; there is more to life than work. (How many times have you been told that?)

• Don't forget to express your bottled-up feelings, and don't wait for someone to tell you what you did well - few people are as thorough as you...(you do everything well).
