Meyer-Briggs Test

Well, although you can't tell a lot from my blood type (B+, incidentally), you can tell a lot about me from my Meyer-Briggs personality type, so let's start with that.  I'm ISTJ, which stands for introverted-sensing-thinking-judging, as opposed to its polar opposite ENFP, extroverted-intuitive-feeling-perceiving.  You can skip the next paragraph if you're not interested in what the Meyer-Briggs personality type reveals about ISTJ's, but the paragraph below is me in a nutshell.  By the way, if you're ENFP, I don't like you, so get off my page!

According to Kersey, Inspector Guardians [ISTJs] make up ten percent of the general population, and are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are “superdependable," and have a distaste for fanciness in speech, dress, and living space.  Their thoroughness and orderliness, combined with their interest in legality and standardization, leads Inspectors to a number of occupations that call for the careful administration of goods and services.  ISTJs feel right at home with difficult, detailed forms and columns of figures, and thus they make excellent bank examiners, auditors, accountants, and tax attorneys.  Managing investments in securities is likely to interest this type, particularly investments in municipal bonds and blue-chip securities.  Inspectors are not likely to take chances either with their own or others money, and the thought of a bankrupt nation, state, institution, or family gives them more than a little uneasiness.  The idea of dishonoring a contract also bothers an ISTJ: their word is their bond, and they naturally communicate a message of trustworthiness and stability, which can make them successful in business.  With their eye for detail, ISTJs make good librarians, dentists, optometrists, legal secretaries, and law researchers.  High school and college teachers of business administration, home economics, physical education, civics, and history tend to be ISTJs, as do quartermaster officers in the military.
