I took a brief career assessment, and it seems pretty accurate. I learned about some of my flaws, but that's fine. It's easy to change rivers and mountains, but hard to alter one's nature. Instead of trying to fix some shortcomings, it might be better to highlight the advantages even more.
Your test result type is: ISTJ
Type Description ISTJ: Most Responsible
Their Best Performance
People with ISTJ preferences have a strong sense of responsibility and loyalty towards their organizations, families, and relationships in life. They work tirelessly and complete agreed tasks on time as required. They almost always manage to complete tasks they consider necessary without fear of difficulties, but refuse to continue doing anything they don't understand.
People of the ISTJ type generally prefer to work alone and take responsibility for the results of their work; however, when needed to do the job well, they feel comfortable working with others if everyone has clear divisions of labor and can complete assigned tasks.
ISTJ Personality
People with ISTJ preferences respect reality greatly. They mainly use their senses internally, accumulating information and relying on this information to understand current issues. Therefore, they are often:
Pragmatic, sensitive, not speculative, organized.
ISTJ people use thinking to make decisions, adopting objective, logical, and resilient steps. They view tasks or systems as a whole rather than individually. ISTJ people tend to be:
Logical and analytical, independent and unapproachable.
ISTJ people are clear and firm about the views they present because they propose these views using logical criteria based on their experience and knowledge. They trust standards because they are effective. ISTJ people only support changes where factual evidence will lead to better outcomes.
How Others See Them
When they are satisfied with the role they play, ISTJ people are sociable. However, except for close friends, they usually do not reveal to outsiders the valuable observations and memories they have. Others can clearly understand their standards and opinions, their expectations for structure and arrangement, but may not be aware of their unique, sometimes interesting, personal responses.
People with ISTJ preferences may find it difficult to understand feelings that differ significantly from their own, but once they realize that certain things are crucial to the people they care about, this need becomes real. They then turn to generously meet this need, even though they still consider it incomprehensible. People generally perceive ISTJ people as:
Quiet, cautious, serious, consistent, orderly, valuing tradition.
Potential Development Prospects
Sometimes, life circumstances do not favor ISTJ people developing and expressing their thinking and feeling preferences.
If they do not develop their thinking, they may lack reliable ways to perceive the world, instead focusing on their internal memory.
If they do not develop their feelings, they may hastily judge and act without considering new information.
If ISTJ people cannot find opportunities to utilize their talents and have their contributions appreciated, they often feel frustrated and may:
Become overly focused on time, schedules, and procedures, "following rules blindly," be critical and discerning of others, find it difficult to trust anyone else to do the job well.
For people with ISTJ preferences, they naturally pay little attention to perceptions and emotions they do not favor. But if they excessively neglect these, they may:
Fail to see the broader impact of current temporary decisions, overemphasize logic without considering the impact on people, fail to respond appropriately to the demands for relationships and friendliness from others.
Under extreme pressure, ISTJ people may be unable to use their habitual silent and rational judgment, falling into a state of "doom" - imagining many negative possibilities for themselves and others.
