ISFJ Personality

I love reading from Everyday Adventures blog, I seem to relate to most of her posts and when I saw her put up a post about her personality I just had to take the test to see what my outcome was. 

This quiz told me I have an ISFJ personality. 




No doubt, I knew that I am introvert. I have gotten better over the years but I am a shy person and takes me a while to warm up to strangers. I enjoy my own company and sometimes choose reading a book over a party. However, I also love to go out and party and socialise with new people. But I am definitely more introverted than extroverted. 

"ISFJ personalities are often meticulous to the point of perfectionism, and though they procrastinate, they can always be relied on to get the job done on time." Haha, definitely. I am a huge procrastinator, but when I start something I put in a lot of effort to meet my standards. My old manager at my old job can agree with me on this one too. I worked at a supermarket and I would put so much time facing up stock making sure the labels face the same way and in a straight line. Obsessive much? 

Strengths 
+ Supportive 
+ Reliable and Patient 
+ Imaginative and Observant 
+ Enthusiastic 
+ Loyal and Hardworking 
+ Good Practical Skills 

Weaknesses 
+ Humble and Shy 
+ Take Things Too Personally
+ Repress Their Feelings 
+ Overload Themselves 
+ Reluctant To Change 
Too Altruistic 

To the romantic relationship aspect of the personality, "ISFJs take dating seriously and only enter into relationships that have a real chance of lasting a lifetime." I don't think I have ever written a post about my failed relationships before. If I did, surely it will get annoying reading into my life about situations that happen continuously. I do take dating seriously and seek for someone who is after something similar and not get "bored". I do enjoy getting to know the opposite sex but there needs to be a line drawn if there are no future "partner potential." 

"ISFJs need a lot of positive feedback." Thats true, and I had no idea why. I thought it was a way to feel that I'm being accepted. I hate as they put it "rocking the boat", conflict, turbulence, miscommunication, whatever you want to call it. I rather try avoid any and just agree what the other person is saying if they are not willing to listen. 

I love being rewarded and acknowledged for the positive effort I put in my work.  If I am not being acknowledged or appreciated I always end up feeling neglected and a piece of furniture. As an example, at my last job, I was working there for 5 years and thought that I would be given a lot more responsibilities but in the end I did feel neglected because I wasn't given anything else or moved up in position. 

"Few personality types are as practical and dedicated as ISFJs. Known for their reliability and altruism, ISFJs are good at creating and maintaining a secure and stable environment for themselves and their loved ones. ISFJs dedication is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth. 

Yet ISFJs can be easily tripped up in areas where their kindness and practical approach are more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, learning to relax or improvise, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or managing their workload, ISFJs need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills." 


I am very curious as to what personality type you get. What did you get?
