ISFJ?  According the Myers Briggs Personality test, that is my type. We desire to serve and protect others sacrificially (DEFENDING!!).

Introvert: Energized by spending time alone or with a small, familiar group.  Group gatherings can be draining.

Sensing: Process information through our senses.  We are concrete, realistic, practical and live in the moment.

Feeling: Make decisions more so with our hearts and value harmony and empathy.

Judging: We think sequentially. We value order and organization and our lives are scheduled and structured.

According to Google: 

I share these traits with 7-13% of the population. 

We are meticulous and take our responsibilities personally and we do everything to delight and please others.  We use our memories not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people, and details about their lives.  We don't like the spotlight, but love serving others.  We are private, but friendly. 

Strengths: Supportive, patient, reliable, observant, enthusiastic, hardworking, loyal, good practical skills

Weaknesses: Humble, shy, take things too personally, repress feelings, overload themselves, reluctant to change

 

All that being said, if you are a squad mate and reading this, I may need some time to decompress after long days.  I like to get up early and go to bed early.  I am not a party owl at all.  If you want to go for a morning run though, I'm your buddy there! 

Although we all have many different personalities, remember that God has created you uniquely and has a wonderful purpose for your life. <3

 

"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."

Colossians 1:16
