i stole this quiz from bill beckett.
ISFP - "Artist". Interested in the fine arts. Expression primarily through action or art form. The senses are keener than in other types. 8.8% of total population. Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test
this is what it said about my personality and possible career paths. the bold are those i agree with.
ISFPs generally have the following traits:
* Keen awareness of their environment
* Live in the present moment
* Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment
* Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless they see a practical application
* Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to them
* Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow
* Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to
* Special bond with children and animals
* Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
* Trusting, sensitive, and kind
* Service-oriented; they're driven to help/save others
* Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty
* Likely to be original and unconventional
* Learn best with hands-on training
* Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens
* Need space and freedom to do things their own way
* Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary
The ISFP is a very special individual who needs to have a career which is more than a job. The middle of the road is not likely to be a place where they will be fulfilled and happy. They need to have a career which is consistent with their strong core of inner values. Since they prefer to live in the current moment, and take the time to savor it, they do not do well with some of the more fast-paced corporate environments. They need a great deal of space and freedom if they are going to function in their natural realm of acute sensory awareness. If they give free reign to their natural abilities, they may find a wonderful artist within themselves. Almost every major artist in the world has been an ISFP. Since the ISFP is so acutely aware of people's feelings and reactions, and is driven by their inner values to help people, the ISFP is also a natural counselor and teacher.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.
Possible Career Paths for the ISFP:
* Artist
* Musician / Composer
* Designer
* Child Care / Early Childhood Development
* Social Worker / Counselor

* Forest Ranger
* Pediatrician
so i'd say it's rather an accurate depiction of my personality.
