I hope I posted this in the correct area. I am new so please forgive me If this is in the wrong place. Every online test that I have ever taken, and the one in person MBTI test that I did in University years ago, classified me as an ISTJ. If were to take a test today I am pretty sure I would still come up as an ISTJ but I feel I relate more to an isfj. is it common for certain personality types to either mirror other MBTI types to thrive at work, etc? I can't imagine that all of the test that I have done in the past could have gotten it wrong.
Even as a child, I have been very sympathetic to others and very sensitive. For as long as I can remember, I like to stand up for those who can't defend themselves. Isfj is the defender of course, but I am moved to do it because I find it's the moral and noble thing to do. It's what is right (very istj).
I am emotional but in an odd way. When I think someone is going to hurt me emotionally or I think I am about to get bad news, I immediately try to mentally convince myself before it happens that I'm not going to be sad because I don't really care about the situation or person. So I'm left wondering if I geneuinly ever really cared enough or if I'm just so good at protecting myself that I convinced myself that I didn't care.
I don't have many friends and prefer to do solo activities like read. I only really like doing things with others if the other person is my romantic partner. And even with partners, I tell myself that I don't really need them that much (in case they ever decide to leave). All of this makes me think I'm probably an istj but at the same time, the general consensus is that I have a terrific, warm, open caring personality.
People seem to trust me easily and want to vent to me (even if I barely know the person). I work in customer service and managed to form an impressive clientele because customers tend to think of me as a friend. also, I don't tend to react or outwardly defend myself when being verbally attacked. I actually don't even like to argue, I just smile and nod even when the other is being insulting the point anyone else would've walked off or argued back. I do get angry but I'm passive aggressive and don't show it. So besides being simply odd, I suppose, what would you classify me as?
