MY career personality type is ISTJ

That means that based on the standard measure of personality traits, you have a quiet determination and sharp mind — you're very focused and buckle down when it comes to work.

You are the type of person one looks to in a crisis. While others may provide emotional support in a situation, your clear and logical thinking allows you to solve the problem at hand. You are adaptable and can work independently or on a team.

You are a careful thinker and get all the details before making any decisions. You don't jump to conclusions and stick with the facts provided. In other words, you're the go-to person for the real story, not the spin or gossip. While others may view you as a bit stubborn at times, they begrudgingly respect your ethics and straightforward approach.

The reason employers and recruiters might be on the lookout for you is that only about 7% of the U.S. population shares the unique characteristics of your personality type. Research shows that businesses succeed when employers create a good balance of personality types in the office. And since only 7% of the U.S. population shares your type, that means employers are looking for you.

But, to truly show employers what you have to offer, you need to understand a little more about traits that make up your type.

MY HIGHER SKILL:

Looking at the ideal work environment is only the first step to understanding your personality type and your long-term career goals. The following paragraphs describe how your personality type is related to what some people refer to as your "transferable" or "higher" skills. Even if you do love your job, it is easy to lose sight of your "higher" skills: what you take with you no matter where you work. Some skills are honed through work experiences, but many are innate to our personality. Some things are just easier for us to do than it is for others.

For instance, you may have great people skills and may do well in sales or public relations, or you might have a knack for numbers and can excel in engineering, the stock market or accounting. Read below to see what higher skills fall under your personality type. Although you may not have had a chance to exercise these skills at your current job, keep them in mind so that you can find ways to incorporate what you naturally do at your current job or advertise these skills to launch your next successful job search. Having these skills can put you ahead of another candidate when looking for a future job. When if comes to work, you:

• Effectively manage time
• Delegate responsibilities in times of crisis
• Can clarify difficult issues
• Record information accurately
• Remember details of past events and information
• Accurately use your five senses to distinguish sounds, shades of color, scents, and tastes
• Have an accurate sense of direction
• Having this skill set makes you a strong leader with a defined sense of sifting through minute details to stay focused on the big picture.
• You are detailed oriented and acutely aware of what's important.

MEANING OF ISTJ:

(I) Introversion/ (E) Extraversion:

This dimension describes how you approach and interact with the world and direct your energy output. The main misconception people have about this dimension is that introverts are shy and extraverts are loud. Not necessarily true. Introverts like you tend to think first and then speak, they like to reflect on a situation before contributing their thoughts. Extraverts tend to think and talk at the same time. This approach makes them more spontaneous but can also get them into trouble at times. To the Extravert, the outside world represents excitement and opportunity; they think and perform better in front of others. Because their energy is directed outward, Extraverts like being around people most of the time. You, on the other hand, direct your energy inward. You probably enjoy being around people, but prefer more intimate settings where you get to know fewer people on a deeper basis.

(S) Sensing/ (N) Intuition:

This dimension demonstrates how people tend to process information. Sensors tend to focus on concrete information while Intuitives look at the possibilities of a situation. By using your five senses to gather data, you, as a Sensor trust what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or felt. You focus on the present and have great attention to detail. You can therefore be relied upon for accurate information. Intuitives, on the other hand, are imaginative and look for deeper and abstract meanings with the information in front of them. When presented with information, Intuitives enjoy pondering implications and consequences for the future. Intuitives look less to details and tend to capture the big picture faster than you.

(T) Thinking/ (F) Feeling:

This dimension demonstrates how you make decisions. Thinkers value analytical thinking and are methodical and logical when evaluating their options. You pride yourself on being objective and not subjective. Feelers, in contrast, tend to see Thinkers as somewhat cold. For Feelers, taking into account how others will be affected is just as important as objective information in the decision-making process. They are more likely to make exceptions to rules than you do. Feelers are highly understanding and therefore may be perceived as too emotional by people such as you who are known as terrific decision-makers.

(J) Judging/ (P) Perceiving:

The last dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness. Because of your strong need for control, Judgers enjoy structure and order. Judgers are organized and will tasks once they get started on something. Perceivers, on the other hand experience the world spontaneously and don't make daily schedules. Perceivers like keeping their options open and pride themselves on adapting to whatever situation they confront. While Perceives love starting projects, you prefer the sense of accomplishment of completing a project which is why people might look to you as a good "closer."
