The description of my mother is spot-on. (ISTJ) She drove my batty as a kid, but the older I get the more I appreciate where she was coming from. That S/N preference thing sure made for headaches growing up, though.

Edit: I do have to add, though, that it was great having another introvert for a mother. Shortly after my sister was born we moved to a larger house because my mother wanted us to have our own rooms. She also never tried to push me into socializing more than I was comfortable with. In retrospect had I taken her advice regarding careers, I'd be farther along in life today.

Edit #2: She also bought me tons of Legos, an act which I believe is 98% responsible for the person I grew up to be.
