The ISFJ personality is characterized above all by a desire to serve others.  ISFJs are warm, kindhearted individuals who bring an aura of quiet warmth, caring, and dependability to all that they do.  They are hard-working and conscientious individuals prone to be quiet and serious.  ISFJs tend to choose careers in which they can use their exceptional people-observation skills to determine what people want or need and then use their exceptional organizational abilities to create a structured plan to fulfill the need.  Their excellent sense of space and function combined with their awareness of aesthetic quality also gives them special abilities in practical artistic endeavors such as interior and fashion design.  ISFJs make up about 6% of the general population.  The following list represents some careers that may appeal to ISFJs.
