According to Myers-Briggs, ISFJs are interested in maintaining order and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are steadfast and meticulous in handling their responsibilities. Although quiet, they are people-oriented and very observant. Not only do they remember details about others, but they observe and respect others’ feelings. Friends and family are likely to describe them as thoughtful and trustworthy.
That's pretty much me. I knew the Introverted part, but it was really interesting to read up about the other stuff.
I think basically the way it works is that their are eight characteristics that oppose each other: Extroverted-Introverted, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and Judging-Perceiving. So combined, you can get up to sixteen different personalities. From what I've read, there are various types that are less common, and various types that are more common. ISFJ is a more common one. Also, famous people who were ISFJ include Mother Teresa, George H.W. Bush, Louisa May Alcott, and Queen Elizabeth II. Dr Watson from Sherlock Holmes is an ISFJ, as well as David Copperfield. Yes, I had to add the fictional characters in, too :)
So anyway, I found that really interesting. The test is here. If you take it, comment and tell me what you are, cause I'm interested.

Hey, that's weird and coincidental :P My percentages were different - I believe I had 75% Introverted - but it's the same type. I'm a nerd and I find this kind of thing fascinating :P

I think, though, that a lot of the questions should have "depends on the situation," because sometimes I can be very introverted and sometimes I'm somewhat extroverted. *shrug*
Haha I just took this for CALM class! And then found your blog about it... I'm ENFJ.
