I took the full version through our career office here.

ISTJ: Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging

Keywords: Inner-directed, Realistic, Logical, Organized

General Description:
ISTJs are good with details and think logically. Because they think logically, they often become practical problem-solvers and adopt a responsible outlook on life. ISTJs are good organizers and get things done. In their own quiet way, they see what must be done, analyze the alternatives, and organize the solutions. And they manage to do it with quietness and grace.

Careers:
Careers that value an organized, practical approach to problem solving will appeal to ISTJs. They often become good managers or hands-on technicians. They enjoy a workplace that is organized with clear expectations, where they can use their detailed knowledge and ability to organize. They enjoy working by themselves and taking pride in their work. The types of careers that may appeal to them include all kinds of different management positions, computers, police work, engineering, accounting and teaching (math, technical subjects).

School:
ISTJs are serious students: they value a clear approach to their studies and want to achieve their educational goals. They like courses based on facts where they can apply these facts in a logical manner. They are well organized, so missing assignments is rarely a problem. They enjoy working by themselves. However, if they need to work in groups, they'd like the groups to be small and the responsibilities of the group members to be well defined

It's very true about liking organization, and preferring to work alone. I hate group projects!

If I could take all the person stuff out of my job it would basically be accounting: I would be happiest in an office crunching numbers and data all day! (Our institutional research person said she asked for an assistant in her budget. If she gets it, I will apply. I really like this person, too!)
