I am an INFJ according to the Meyers-Briggs test and Joe is an ISTP. I am a protector and Joe is a mechanic. Here are some personality highlights of an ISTP:
-quiet and reserved
-prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances
-expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy)
-tend to be more concrete than abstract
-focus attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate -realities rather than future possibilities
-tend to rely on objective criteria rather than personal values
-give more weight to logic than to social considerations
-Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems
-they often enjoy solving organisational problems that need to be thought through
Other ISTP's: Clint Eastwood, Alan Shepard, Michael Jordan, Tom Cruise
For an INFJ here are some highlights:
-sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people
-Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends
-rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them
-natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective
-strong value systems, and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right
-very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well
-affinity for art and may excel in sciences
Other INFJ's: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela
Of course, it can be argued that I am more of the nurturer personality type. It fits me well too. Joe took the personality test for me and he tested me as anI NFJ. I tested Joe as an ISTJ, the duty fulfiller.
