SJ Temperament - The "Protectors"

SJs are observant, stable and motivated by a need to maintain security. They are realistic, routinized administrators requiring tasks be completed correctly and that people behave appropriately. SJs make thorough examinations to ensure everything is done according to plan. They make sure no more and no less credit is given than due. When a need arises, they are quick to provide a solution, provided that the need is justified. SJs are not driven by impulse, but rather by concrete fact. By virtue of their reliable, diligent, industrious, persevering nature, they make excellent leaders.

ISFJ - The "Defender"

ISFJs are traditional, loyal, quiet and kind. They are very sensitive to other people's needs because they are very observant. They have rich inner thoughts and emotions. They value stability and cultural norms. They are very adept at giving attention to detail. They do not seek positions of authority.

"ISFJs are characterized above all by their desire to serve others, their "need to be needed." In extreme cases, this need is so strong that standard give-and-take relationships are deeply unsatisfying to them; however, most ISFJs find more than enough with which to occupy themselves within the framework of a normal life."

"modest, not confrontational, easily hurt, observer, prone to crying, not spontaneous"

"ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after..."

"The primary desire of the Protector SJ is to be of service to others, but here "service" means not so much furnishing others with the necessities of life, as guarding others against life's pitfalls and perils, that is, seeing to their safety and security."

"At work, ISFJs contribute loyal, sympathetic, consistent, and considerate service to others. They are know for their kindness and for their willingness to go to any length to help those in need. They take the practical needs of people into account when they do their work, and their strong follow-through skills allow them to carry out organizational goals. They do at least what is expected to them and oftentimes more, without attracting attention to themselves. They are painstaking and responsible with detail and routine, and feel it is important to have the right things in the right places at the right times."

Obviamente que estes resultados se baseiam num teste composto por questões de múltiplas respostas. E nem sempre, de entre as possibilidades, encontrei a resposta que verdadeiramente se adequaria. Mas foi o mais próximo possível do que sou e sinto hoje. É claro que amanhã, se calhar, o mesmo teste daria outro resultado, mas enfim. Em geral é isto. E é engraçado reparar que, por mais voltas que dê, ou que tente dar, há traços, características (defeitos?) que não consigo mudar. Por mais que lute, e luto por os amenizar, suavizar ou limar. That's the way i am. Mas continuarei a remar seja como for, a forçar a corrente, a berrar às bestas que me sufocam em abraços viscosos cheios de pavor.
