According to this assessment I am labeled as a Protector (ISFJ). One of the characteristics that I agree with is the desire to prevent problems. I can say with certainty that I do not like being around abusive conflict. Helping others and promoting harmony is a wonderful experience. It's depressing to see others argue out of hatred and difference in opinions. I remember one time as a counselor that two of the boys in my group almost started a fistfight. My reaction was grab one of them before it escalated. I wanted them to get along, but it was a difficult task.
The second interest that I know I have and agree is that I enjoy working with photography. Taking pictures of day to day activities and capturing the outdoor life is fascinating. When I was in college I took a photography class and absolutely loved it. Just going through the process of developing the film and enlarging the photograph was enjoyable. I think being a protector involves a certain care for nature and outdoor involvement.
The last evaluation that I agree with is that I might bite off more than I should. Seeing people around me that do not get along is a burden to me, though I need to realize that I can not solve every dispute I see. God is the ultimate Protector and has His hand in every situation. I need to allow Him to work and learn how He would handle a stressful situation. I want to involve God in every aspect of my life.
The one assessment statement that I disagree with is that the protector is least likely to seek positions of leadership. Someone who is a protector does have a leadership position. Keeping others safe and teaching others to live in harmony is a perfect example of being a leader. God calls everyone to lead whether their own lives or being a representative of Christ. I want to lead others to Christ and to live in harmony.
