    About this ebook

    Have you taken the Myers Briggs inventory and been identified as an ISFJ Defender? Or do you have an ISFJ spouse or children? Do you find yourself looking, blank-faced, at those four attributes and thinking to yourself, “Well, now, that’s nice; I’m an ISFJ! But what does that really mean?” If so, then you’ll enjoy this book, created by a fellow ISFJ Defender who has undertaken on your behalf a typically thorough ISFJ study and painstakingly recorded the collected information regarding the ISFJ type.

    ISFJ 101 is the complete ISFJ layman’s guide to understanding the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the theory behind it, the typing method built into it, and the ISFJ personality type. The book, written by an ISFJ author, tells you all you need to know of MBTI in order to understand what is meant by the outcome of your MBTI inventory, and then goes on to address practical, real-life ISFJ-related experiences and applications. The author’s decidedly respectable lifespan and personal experiences as an ISFJ give the book a practical -- and at times entertaining -- personal perspective which helps to bring the information home in a way that makes it relevant as well as instructive to ISFJ types and those who love them.

      Still A Believer?

      Dec 18, 2020

      Perhaps you feel your MBTI assessment is spot on – you are an INFJ to the core, damn it! One possible reason for this is the so-called ‘Forer effect’. In 1949, Bertram Forer gave several participants a personality test and later relayed each person’s
