The sixteen types

The Keeper

ISTJ

You do what you said you would, properly and on time. You trust proven experience over an idea that merely sounds good.

Where you are strong

  • Reliable to the point of certainty
  • Organised and precise
  • Persistent over the long haul
  • Takes commitments seriously

Worth watching

  • Rigid about anything new
  • Struggles to express feeling
  • Critical of disorder
  • Hoards work instead of delegating

With other people

You show affection by being dependable rather than by saying so. Say it occasionally — actions do not translate themselves.

At work

Accounting, audit, administration, law, logistics, engineering, quality management.

Where to grow

Each quarter, try a new way of doing something familiar. Your steadiness is a strength, but it needs periodic testing.

And you?

MBTI® is a registered trademark of The Myers & Briggs Foundation and its questionnaire is copyrighted — this is not MBTI®. It uses the same four Jungian dichotomies with questions of our own. Even the original draws criticism from researchers for how much results move on retaking. Treat the four-letter code as a vocabulary for describing yourself, not a measurement.
