  • Natural leaders
  • Prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when necessary
  • Extremely observant, they take in facts via their senses and store them internally
  • Vast, rich inner store of facts which they rely on to understand problems which they encounter in their lives
  • Profound respect for facts and concrete information
  • Make decisions objectively, applying logic and rational thinking
  • Dislike change, unless they are shown it's benefit in a concrete way
  • Have strong opinions about the way things should be done

Possible Career Paths for the ISTJ:

  • Business Executives, Administrators and Managers
  • Accountants and Financial Officers
  • Police and Detectives

Hmm, no architect then…
I especially like Military Leader, haha! I reckon I could do it, that’s the scary thing!
The personality description is pretty accurate in some ways though, although it makes me sound like a hate people…which I’m pretty sure is not entirely true!

Apparently an architect is a ‘INTP (Introversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Perception’, I got 2 out of 4 I suppose.
