List of Famous People With ISFJ Personality

ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types defined by the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test. ISFJs are a fairly common type, making up about 13% of the population.

ISFJs are caring and helpful. They are devoted to protecting and helping out those in need. ISFJs have very strong family ties and are quick to leap to the defense of their family. Sometimes, however, take on too much responsibility and lose sight of the big picture while trying to help everyone around them. They can also be too unassertive and pushovers for those who want to take advantage of their helpfulness. But there is no friend to have like an ISFJ when you find yourself in need of help.
