The Dedicated and Compassionate Guardian

Introduction

Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.

— Brian Tracy

In a quiet, unassuming way, ISFJs (Defenders) help keep the world turning. Hardworking and dedicated, these types feel a deep sense of responsibility to those around them. ISFJs meet deadlines, remember birthdays and special occasions, uphold traditions, and shower their loved ones with gestures of care and support. Yet they rarely seek recognition for all they do, preferring to operate behind the scenes.

This is a capable, effective type with a diverse set of talents. Sensitive and caring, ISFJs also have excellent analytical skills and an eye for detail. And despite their modesty, they tend to have well-developed people skills and strong social relationships. This type is truly more than the sum of its parts, and their many strengths shine even in the most mundane aspects of daily life.
