Call Me Isfuhjuh

After taking this test, I discovered that I have an ISFJ personality.

I had suspected for quite some time that I might be an isfuhjuh.

Oftentimes, as I pondered life's more pressing questions, I would think to myself, "How have I arrived here? Where am I headed? And could I possibly be an isfuhjuh?"

Indeed, I am.

What does this mean? Well, here are the details as presented to me by the Jung test website ... with some minor edits.

We are lucky that Protectors Hear that? I shall PROTECT you! Except when bees are involved. Or ferris wheels make up as much as ten percent the population I am so unique!, because their primary interest is in the safety and security of those they care about - their family, their circle of friends, their students, their patients, their boss once, my boss walked right into oncoming traffic, and I bravely rescued him. He was six., their fellow-workers, or their employees. Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup I only use Bare Minerals, and been proving my loyalty to them for months. and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt I wipe the binky off before I pop it back in the babies mouth and dangers of the world i.e. Webkinz. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products wine dates back to the first grape and procedures rather than change to new i.e. wine coolers. At work Protectors are seldom happy you know, it was kind of a bad day in situations oh where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected spanking, yelling, removal of Nintendo DS. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family mom loved chips, I love chips. Tradition, heritage, Ruffles. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth Take that, Ryan!, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms hand me down game boy games.

Wanting to be of service to others out of the kindness of my sweet heart, Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden let's not get nasty, here, and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. They are not as outgoing and talkative 'scuse me (hahahahahaha!!!) as the Provider Guardians [ESFJs] eesfuhjuhs are so annoying, shaddup already!, and their shyness is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness a anonymous friend (name rhymes with Hobyn) told me quite plainly she thought I was a (word rhymes with rich) when she first met me. I am so misunderstood, when in truth Protectors are warm-hearted ha! and sympathetic double ha!, giving happily of themselves to those in need final ha!. Their reserve ought really to be seen as an expression of their sincerity and seriousness -oh yes, ahem- of purpose changing poo diapers. The most diligent of all the types, Protectors are willing to work long, hard hours quietly doing all the thankless jobs that others manage to avoid see above reference to poo diapers. Protectors are quite happy working alone that does not bode well for me; three kids does not alone time make; in fact, in positions of authority they may try to do everything themselves rather than direct others to get the job done well, if ya did it right .... Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for them The Michael's receipt in my purse does not seem to agree with this. When Protectors undertake a task, they will complete it if humanly possible Also, if it is nonhumanly possible. I am that awesome. They also know better than any other type the value of a dollar, and they abhor the squandering or misuse of money Errr. To save, to put something aside against an unpredictable future, to prepare for emergencies I am fully prepared to pack up the kids and head to Christie's Mom's house -these are actions near and dear to the Protector's heart. For all these reasons, Protectors are frequently overworked oh, the humanity, just as they are frequently misunderstood Hobyn? and undervalued Kids? Hear that?. Their contributions, and also their economies, are often taken for granted, and they rarely get the gratitude they deserve. I am framing this and putting it in every room in our home. All four of them.

So, basically, I am the nicest, most giving person in the world. Okay, maybe in our apt. complex.

Famous isfuhjuhs include Mother Teresa and, interestingly, William Shatner.

I am not surprised to hear about my self sacrificing nature, for I am, indeed, my kids mom. I am apparently also my kids dad, because I am married to

an ESTJ, finely represented by Dr. Laura herself.
