16 Types in the Workplace—ISFJ

Colleagues and other people I know (including my partner, Kevin) with preferences for ISFJ often provide the friendly and practical follow-through that people in the workplace need. Like their “cousins,” ISTJ, their favorite mental process (Si) helps them remember important details from the past, and this gift can help prevent an organization from repeating mistakes as long as we make sure to include them. However, they need to be encouraged to speak up; we can help by patiently listening and not interrupting their step-by-step approach. Their favorite mental process is backed up by their second process (F_e), which can help them make decisions in a harmonious and values-based way. Being loyal to the organization and the people in it is an important contribution those with preferences for ISFJ make.
