The Defender

So one of the first things that I did with my career counselor was to figure out my personality type on the Meyers-Briggs scale. I had taken the Meyers-Briggs in high school and I sort of remembered what I was so we were able to get through it in one session. Turns out I'm an ISFJ which means that I'm Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. A couple websites have giving little names for each Meyers-Briggs personality type, and an ISFJ is known as a defender. Here is a good website for more information about personality types (and it has a list of famous fictional and nonfictional ISFJ including David Copperfield and Melanie from Gone with the Wind which now makes sense why I like both of those characters). On that same page (towards the bottom) is a list of good careers for ISFJ and the 3 careers that I am looking into are on that list. Any guesses?

I'll guess "Child Care", "Early Childhood Development", and "Police"...wait, you're already doing all those!

I am amazed how accurate this test is - it really seems to describe your personality and outlook very well.
