Part one: What about me? Insights into personality. I am an introverted, feeling, thinking, judging (ISTJ) according to Jungian personality type 16 and personality type B. ISTJ and type B personalities intersect where they have similar characteristics. As an ISTJ, I am conscientious, emotionally stable, and open to experience; which makes me dependable, dependable, thorough, organized, able to plan and persistent. (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002). As a Type B personality, I have a significant drive to work hard and achieve goals, but I have a confident style that allows me to work at a steady pace. I see things from a global perspective, encourage teamwork and exercise patience in decision making. (Fretwell and Hannay, 2013). These traits complement the ISTJ personality. Possible careers for me are The unknown, the future and the unplanned are all stress inducing factors. The Holy Spirit taught me that stress is the result of fear; fear of the unknown therefore lack of faith. God says in many scriptures in the Bible, “Fear not, for I am with you…” (Isa. 41:10 New King James Version). By faith I know that I can face tomorrow with confidence. One of the ISTJ's weaknesses is that they are stubborn, resisting change and any new ideas that I don't support. The Holy Spirit has shown me strength in such a way that resistance gives me time to seek the Lord on matters so that I don't have to make hasty decisions. I take time to pray and wait to hear from the Lord. Honestly, weakness has turned into a very powerful tool and has also taken away the fear of uncertainty because the Lord always guides me when surprises come I can rest in Him. The understanding that in my natural spiritual state I have a sinful nature that only God, through Jesus, can address is connected to understanding my personality. Through Jesus Christ, the Father can free me from slavery (Fischer , 2006).
