Guardian actively fights against any deviations from moral and moral norms, which has earned him fame as a "militant moralist".

He believes that if a person has done you nothing wrong, you have no right to treat him badly, but if on the contrary, then your duty is to warn others. There may be an opinion of the Guardian as a gossip who "loves to wash the bones of others." Although in fact they hate gossip, but caution is their sacred right and duty, and they are always ready and able to defend it.

The Guardian often gives the impression of a person who is introverted and uncommunicative. Indeed, he feels better in a familiar and proven environment. And only obeying the circumstances, literally forces himself to expand the circle of his acquaintances.

ISFJ always knows how it is treated, always feels the attitude towards itself. He always feels lies, falsehoods and hypocrisy both towards himself and towards others.

In relationships, he is very consistent, principled. Maximalist. Love, friendship is given completely. For a long time he remembers evil and tries to break off all relations with someone who at least once caused him trouble. He lives by the principle of "you to me, I to you."

Representatives of this type consider it their duty to reveal all the evil that is found in the space around them. To expose the vices of society, to fight crime, violation of public morals; The struggle for the common welfare, for the purity of moral standards, for the restoration of justice, for the ecology of the environment, is his first concern.

Guardian hates organized evil and always seeks to counter it with cohesive good, so he hates the Mafia in any form. The very type of a man-mafioso, who tries to get to power by hook or by crook, and use its benefits to bend others to his will, causes the "keeper's" deepest antipathy and irritation, which he cannot restrain even in common decency.

He's very compulsory. If, for objective reasons, he is unable to fulfil his obligation, he suffers greatly. For the same reason he does not like to borrow money or buy on credit - he is worried that he will not be able to pay it back in time.

He tries to keep order and cleanliness in the house (he considers it inadmissible to neglect household chores - he considers it an obligationlessness towards other family members). Even if he takes some work at home, he tries to do all the household chores first, so that he can sit down to work in peace.

He is very annoyed, for example, by such little things as crumbs on the table or stains on the floor, scattered clothes, "piles" of on the desk. He will postpone his most urgent matters to eliminate these "irritants", and on occasion he may reprimand the family for their irresponsible attitude to the order of the house.

Any subject or science under study is trying to understand the essence, to decompose it, to find some kind of regularity in it. If the subject is taught chaotically, chaotic, inconsistently, he does not perceive such training, gets behind, very much because of this worries, falls into panic and despondency.

The Guardian is rarely satisfied with its performance. No matter how much he's done, he thinks it's all for naught.

It's inherent to him to master different specialties: If there is no possibility to realize oneself in one profession, one learns another, but tries to keep the skills of the previous profession at a professional level - it may come in handy.

He doesn't like to be envied. And he himself tries not to arouse envy in people (he considers it unethical to arouse base feelings in people), so he usually quite modestly talks about his achievements. For the same reason, he often has difficulty finding a job, Profitably selling his job is difficult for him.

ISFJ is difficult to calculate its capabilities. He can save before an easy task, but at the same time he will swing at an extremely complex one, will do a work of the highest class, but will not dare to convey it to the viewer.

Despite his ethical discernment, the Guardian is often mistaken in his choice of friends, advisors, or partners. Often it is the one who abuses his trust, his friendship, his feelings that gives him a chance. He can be easily cheated, for example, to involve him in an inherently doomed project, an adventurous experiment, to hire him for risky, unprofitable work. He can be easily deceived and more often than not falls prey to scams and speculation.

Many problems brought to him the inability to foresee in time and correctly assess the possible danger, as well as the inability to correctly calculate their strength, which inevitably leads to overwork, nervous breakdowns, failures in exams and performances, so he feels complete failure.

Guardian is not particularly fond of going to doctors: If there are any health risks, they prefer not to know about them.

Due to excessive sensitivity and weak intuition, it can be difficult for him to do business on his own - it is difficult to assign and defend his price; a difficult relationship where one party's benefit is turned into a loss for the other. That's the kind of relationship he tries to avoid.
It's just as hard for him to ask for a raise: he believes that it is up to the employer to evaluate his work and to reward him appropriately,
The Guardian is not strong in business matters, and has been using the most primitive set of stereotypical solutions all his life: If you can't earn money, you need to save money, if you can't do it yourself, you need to hire a specialist, if you have no money to pay for his services, you need to suffer inconveniences and save money.

The best way to activate the Guardian is to assign him a clear "time frame". It is always important for him to know how much time he can expect to spend, while also trying to account for unexpected time consumption. Guardian hates unproductive time-wasting - he doesn't like to wait, and he hates making others wait: so he tries to be punctual, although punctuality comes at the cost of time overruns - it is difficult for him to calculate the amount of time required for travel, taking into account various traffic surprises.

Intrigues, gossip, showdowns in the Guardian team are not interesting in themselves - only if it is directly related to it. He doesn't care who winks at whom (and he always sees that). The main thing is how it relates directly to him or to his partner.

He is very responsive to someone else's pain and suffering, but he does not like to comfort him - he is afraid that sympathy can once again remind a person of his pain, and thereby make him relive it once again He always tries to help with his work. He believes that sympathy, not supported by a specific case, is unconvincing and can be perceived as falsehood.

He does not believe cheap compliments and outright flattery. He never flatters, he rarely says compliments, and only sincerely admiring something. In his understanding, saying compliments is the same as flattering Therefore, he always fears that his sincere admiration will be perceived as false. Mentally, he always notes someone else.

ISFJ Female Psychological Profile

As a child, she is a strict and proper girl. And she's very diligent. She knows what it means to do well, how to behave and how not to behave. She has order in her head, on her desk and in her briefcase, her notebooks are decorated with beautiful handwriting.
The Guardian is very, very discerning of others. She has loved the measured life since she was a child and can get upset if her plans are disrupted. So no surprise outings to the zoo or the dolphinarium. It's best to plan events in advance.

Big companies with too many strangers are not liked by the Guardian. She's been making one or two close friends since she was a little girl. The next wave of friend corps additions comes at the institute. But here too, you'll get at most one or two girlfriends. Although she does not have many girlfriends, she tends to keep them around for life. It is with them that she will share her joys and sorrows.

But the fact that she doesn't usually have many close friends doesn't mean that she doesn't like to have fun sometimes, of course. But don't expect to gain trust easily. She will pay serious attention to you if you are promising, young and have money. She also likes it when a man is quick and intelligent. If you have all this in front of you, then you can have no doubt that she will marry you pretty quickly, because this girl is exceptionally determined and consistent. And she never backs down from her goals.

When you marry her, you will find that you have an exceptionally responsible, hardworking wife who diligently takes care of the household. She strives for perfect cleanliness, so she diligently cleans and cleans her house, bringing it literally to sterility.
Get ready for the fact that going to the store with her will not be such an easy task. The fact is, your wife doesn't navigate well where you have to choose from two or more items. So instead of standing with her at the counter and listening to her hesitate and doubt for half an hour, it is better to make the decision yourself, sparing her this need. And they also like to save money, but in a peculiar way - they can lose a lot but save a ruble.

Your wife cooks according to standard recipes, tried-and-true for centuries or learned from her mother. She prefers the tried and trusted to all sorts of innovations. Your wife also honors tradition, so prepare to celebrate all traditional holidays at home and host family and a close circle of close friends.

She likes everyone in the house to live according to the established, unbreakable order, which she will implement every day with all her might. Joint affairs in her family are planned in advance, because she does not tolerate uncertainty well. And if she decides something, she always strives to adhere to the decision made.

Они строгие, но любящие мамы. Они требуют от детей послушания и учат их порядку. В любом случае, физическое состояние детей, подготовка уроков и общение с друзьями всегда будут находиться под ее строгим и бдительным контролем. Ей нужно знать, с кем общается ребенок, куда он пошел и когда вернется. Дело в том, что любой

For some, the Guardian for years to come will seem unapproachable proud, for others - the ardent and sincere partner. It's even hard to believe it's the same person! Cordial to the few friends and wary of strangers in the house
Focused on traditional family values, and this is not always consistent with her latent emotionality and sensuality. In bed, she is active (again, with those she has chosen for herself)

Jealous, a minor detail of your behavior can permanently ruin a sensitive Guardian's mood. That being said, breaking up with her is a painful process. It's hard to find a formal reason to break up. Any transgressions you have, she bravely ready to understand and forgive, but just as courageously will be ready to part if the decision herself. Your demonstrative carelessness, failure to keep promises, and generally flippant attitude towards life can encourage her to do so. Try forgetting a date or two, failing to pay back a debt, or otherwise disrupting her plans. Keep in mind, however, that it is very difficult to hope to repair the relationship after that.
