CURIOSITIES OF Juicioso
According to a personnel test there is a type that is identified as “Introverted Sensitive Sentimental Judicious Sensitive” (ISFJ) which are characterized by their desire to serve others, by their “need to be needed”.
Some extreme cases have this need more pronounced that standard mutual relationships are more unsatisfactory for them.
It is worth noting that ISFJs are under-appreciated at work, at home and at play. Which is ironic because they are always noted for their loyalty and unlimited, quality work, but other people tend to take advantage of them.
