Introduction
Of the many factors that contribute to a successful future, an understanding of Personality Type is among the
most useful.
While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does remain constant is
an individual's Personality Type - the innate way each person naturally prefers to see the world and make
decisions. And although all individuals are unique, people of the same type share enormous similarities in the
kinds of academic subjects and careers they find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying.
By understanding the role Personality Type plays, people can gain important insights into their educational,
career, and relationship needs. And because people of different types often communicate in very different ways,
counselors and teachers can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student.
Understanding you, Alexandra
People like you are quiet, gentle, and caring. When people first meet you you may seem reserved and cool. But
once you get to know and care about someone, you are warm and very loyal. You tend to be cautious about
jumping into social activities and may resist trying new experiences. Instead, you like spending time with one or
two close, trusted friends or spending time alone, enjoying the things that really interest you. You are
considerate, respectful, and sensitive, and usually find tension or conflict between people very uncomfortable.
Since you have strong beliefs about right and wrong and try to always treat other people kindly, you may be
easily hurt or offended by the insensitivity or callousness of others.
You are also unpretentious and down-to-earth. You speak clearly and literally, and want others to be equally
explicit in explaining directions or stating their expectations of you. You tend to be selective about things like food
and clothing, are usually tidy and organized, and prefer to be dressed appropriately for all occasions. You're also
careful with your money and possessions. You are probably blessed with an excellent memory for details,
especially facts about people, but may find it hard to read between the lines or deal with a lot of abstractions.
Since you like to make a decision and stick with it, you are often annoyed when plans are changed suddenly.
You're not a big risk taker and are happiest with a predictable daily routine. While you want to please the people
close to you, you are rarely willing to compromise on really important issues.
Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ISFJ."
Your Strengths and Blindspots
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The key to finding the best path for all people is by using their natural
Being too humble, and not presenting your accomplishments in the best light.
Appearing to be less enthusiastic than you may really be.
Not being open to explore possibilities that don't fit your current plan.
Not anticipating how present decisions may affect you in the future.
Allow you to use your talent for being accurate and remembering facts and details.
Let you work on tangible projects that help other people in some way.
Let you work behind the scenes, and not require lots of public interaction.
