The length of the lines on the preference clarity index (pci) graph above shows how clearly or consistently you chose one
preference over the other in each pair. The longer the line, the more often your answers indicated that preference, and
the more likely it is that the MBTI assessment has accurately reflected your preference.

MYERS-BRIGGS T YPE INDICATOR ® | STEP II ™ ISFJ | 3
The length of each line on the graphs shows how consistently you chose one facet pole over the other. The longer the
line, the clearer your preference is for that pole. Scores of 2–5 that are on the same side as your Step I preference indicate
in-preference results. Scores of 2–5 on the opposite side of your Step I preference indicate out-of-preference results.
Scores of 0 and 1 are in the midzone and often mean a situational or muted use of either pole.

Polarity Index: 66
The polarity index, which ranges from 0 to 100, shows the consistency of a respondent’s facet scores within a profile. Most adults
score between 50 and 65, although higher indexes are common. An index that is below 45 means that the respondent has many
scores in or near the midzone. This may be due to mature situational use of the facet, answering the questions randomly, lack of
self-knowledge, or ambivalence about use of a facet. Some such profiles may be invalid.

ISFJ
ISFJ people devotedly accept responsibilities beyond the call of duty. They prefer to
use sensing as a first process and feeling as a second process. This combination produces an
extremely dependable person, with a complete, realistic, practical respect for facts and for
whatever responsibilities these facts create. Sensing provides the facts and after the
introvert's characteristic pause for reflection, feeling accepts the responsibilities.
ISFJ people absorb, remember, and use facts by the bushel. They like everything to
be kept factual, clearly stated and not too complex. Not until you know ISFJ people well do
you discover that behind their calm exteriors, they are looking at facts from an intensely
individual angle, often a very droll one. The private reaction of ISFJ people, the way a
thing may strike them, is quite unpredictable. However, what they do about the facts will be
sound and sensible because it is part of their outer lives and so is governed by their best
judgment.
ISFJ's have the stability of judging types. No type is more thorough, painstaking,
systematic, hard-working, or patient with detail and routine. Their extreme perseverance
tends to stabilize everything with which they are connected. ISFJ people do not enter into
things impulsively, but once in , they are very hard to distract, discourage, or stop. They do
not quit unless experience convinces them they are wrong.
Since ISFJ people are governed by feeling in their contacts with the world, they are
kind, sympathetic, tactful, and genuinely concerned. These traits make them very supportive
to persons in need of support. ISFJ people are frequently attracted to fields combining
systematic attention to detail with a care for people. Many ISFJ's are found in health
professions.
Every type needs balance in order to be good. For ISFJ people, balance means the
adequate development of judgment, i.e. feeling. Adequate judgment provides a tool for
dealing with the world, and balances the introverted perception (sensing) which by itself is
not interested in dealing with the world. If feeling judgment remains childish, the world
does not get dealt with, the person retreats into the silent preoccupation with inner reactions
to incoming sense-impressions and nothing of value is likely to result.
Well-balanced ISFJ people have both perception (sensing) and judgment (feeling) well
balanced. Their problem is one of using the right process at the right time. A safe rule for
ISFJ's is to use judgment (feeling) on inanimate objects and on their own conduct, and
perception (sensing) on people. They will then be in no danger of overriding people less
forceful than they are and will find themselves rich in their human relationships.
