A little more about me
At work Thursday, a couple of my coworkers had been assigned to take the Meyers-Brigg test because of some serious personality clashes (though they seem to be one-sided...). Anyway, we all ended up taking a "like the Meyers-Briggs Test" online.

* moderately expressed thinking personality
* very expressed judging personality
Now, as to this being completely accurate, I don't know. When I took the test Thursday, I apparently was much less introverted than I am today... And several years ago I was ISFJ. However, I still think the test is mostly accurate.
Profile of the ISTJ:
Inspector Guardians look carefully and thoroughly at the people and institutions around them. Making up perhaps as much as ten percent of the general population, Inspectors are characterized by decisiveness in practical affairs, are the guardians of institutions, and if only one adjective could be selected, “superdependable” would best describe them. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are nothing if not dependable, particularly when it comes to examining the people and products they are responsible for—quietly seeing to it that uniform quality is maintained, and that those around them uphold certain standards of attitude and conduct. Yes, this I agree with...I take responsibility and have some pretty high standards when it comes to morals and such.(Also known as "Legalistic Nazarene"- though I am much harder on myself than others)
These quiet, no-nonsense Guardians have a distaste for and distrust of fanciness in speech, dress, and living space. True, I figure they have something to hide... Oh, I am so judgemental- been working on that for years... Their words tend to be simple and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; their clothes are often homespun and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; Hey! I really do try to avoid the homely look! It's just that it is hard for me to justify spending loads of cash on the latests fashions! I'd rather have something that will last and that I can wear in different situations. and their home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than up-to-date or luxurious. That would go back to the whole "spending loads of cash on the latest fashons" thought again... As for the orderly; that depends on when you stop by. I like stuff in place so I can find it, but while I'm working on something I only care about getting the current project done. When I am finished, I clean up. Anyone who lived with me in college knows I can create a pig-sty in a very short time. However, my current living arrangements (I think the word "organization" is an expletive here) have forced me to change my ways to keep my sanity. In their choice of personal property (cars, furnishings, jewelry, and so on) price and durability are just as important as comfort or appearance. Classics, antiques, and heirlooms are especially valued, having achieved a certain time-honored status—Inspectors prefer the old-fashioned to the newfangled every time. Even on vacation, Inspectors tend not to be attracted by exotic foods, beverages, or locales. Yeah, that's all pretty true about me, except that I have no trouble tossing an antique that has no use to me... I'm horrible non-sentimental.
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. Inspectors 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. Ummmm... BORING!!!!!
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. Or just ticks me off that people can be so irresponsible... However, I do understand certain situations such as unemployment and circumstances beyond control such as medical issues. It's the idiots who blow there cash on alcohol, fireworks, and big entertainment purchases that they cannot afford and then declare bankruptcy that gets me! The idea of dishonoring a contract also bothers an Inspector —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, Inspectors make good business men and women, 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 Inspectors, as do quartermaster officers in the military. How about some cool jobs here?! When I was teaching, my personality was ISFJ. I am wondering if it changed slightly to conform to my job.
