ISFJ

Introverted
Sensing
Feeling
Judging

I took a personality test out of curiosity to see what it would say about me.  I've changed a lot over the years and its interesting to see how I have evolved as a woman, a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter, and a Christian. Thank God!  Imagine how life would be if we didn't evolve. 
If you are interested in taking the test as well you can take it here.

My pastor calls me a melancholy (introverted and thoughtful, creative and independent) and choleric (ambitious and leader-like, swinging moods, and assertiveness).  He kinda hits the nail on the head.  Do you ever try to be a personality you aren't just to prove that you aren't moody?  If you want to know more about the four temperaments you can look here for more information.

As I look over the explanation for my ISFJ categorization, I very carefully analyze it to make sure its accurate.  (I'm sure this behavior fits in perfectly with the characteristics of one of these letters.)
Some words to describe an ISFJ:
  • "need to be needed"
  • desire to serve others (this is so me.)
  • often go unappreciated (I'm a teacher; can I get an amen?)
  • maintain strong loyalties (I will choke someone who messes with my loved ones. *That's a promise, not a threat.)
  • meals, gifts, and celebrations are infinitely mapped out
  • family oriented
  • few, close friends (for this reason, they are willing to do anything for these friends and are extremely dependable and loyal)
  • unexplained moodiness
To sum it up, I agree with all of these although I would particularly like to deny the unexplained moodiness.  (I won't because I can't.)

It's neat to think about why you are the way you are and how you tick. 

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27
