uses the second talent "an empathetic and humane approach" as a form of expression to give full play to the first talent "patience, carefulness, accumulation of a lot of common sense in life and professional skills in a certain field". What is portrayed is the ISFJ nurse-type personality portrait of "gentle, patient, and providing professional nursing services." The nurse-like personal speech and behavior displayed by the
advantage persona also reflects the vocation that ISFJ is best at and is satisfied with: instinctively becoming the head guardian of organizations such as family, class or community. The most fundamental meaning of "guarding" is that "guarding the stability of the organization" is how they become themselves; just as the guarding behavior of "uniting colleagues, patiently providing services to users, and supporting means abiding by the company culture and system" is their nature need.
Therefore, most ISFJs find it most satisfying to play the role of the guardian of the community to satisfy the second innate need for a sense of belonging; and to follow the success of the community to continuously achieve personal success to satisfy the first innate need for security. Career development model.

Vision Mask
From the perspective of personality development, although any organization needs the protection of isfj, the excessive pursuit of stability needs for safe development makes isfj "overly trust in the old experience, tradition and regular customs or rituals (old rules)ā. Including trusting authoritative viewpoints, often viewing the world from the perspective of famous quotes, traditional culture and conventional ideas and being called "traditionalists".
Because of this, over-reliance on the stability mask has made the type of work in which "famous companies and establishments, as well as work content as fixed as possible (able to operate according to processes for a long time)" become the first choice for ISFJs. Highly repetitive work content can better meet the needs of stable masks because it has clearer responsibilities, more controllable work processes, and is more conducive for ISFJs to master every link proficiently. But the higher the repeatability, the easier it is to be replaced by various methods; of course, compared to this, this article focuses more on the competitive export of isfj, which is the core shortcoming of the "creative mask" that they fear but desire.
The reason why low-repetitive work cannot meet the need for stability and makes isfj feel insecure is because its diversified work content makes it difficult to put old experience to use and is full of variability, which makes them always trapped in "wanting to control the results of their work" But there is no way to startā out of control state. The more challenging the job is that requires working side by side with uncertainty, the less ISFJs will choose similar jobs; but generally speaking, the more competitive and substitutable the job skills are, the more competitive and substitutable they are. Low also means fewer competitors and more rigid needs, including higher salaries.
Therefore, rather than striving for excellence in highly repetitive positions, the structural issues that deserve isfj's attention are:
On the one hand, I realize that the more we pursue stable work and live in the mask of stability, the more we put ourselves in danger. Situation choice;
On the other hand, in addition to actively hoarding competitive skills to combat future uncertainty, it is more important for ISFJ to develop and integrate creative short board masks. The continuous improvement of innovation ability means that ISFJ will be more able to face changes calmly, and even take the initiative to understand and learn new ideas and new models. At this time, ISFJ will be more open and willing to consider new possibilities and become more capable. Creativity and ideas gain a stronger ability to adapt to changes.

Thinking Mask
Living too much in an emotional mask that is considerate and dependent on interpersonal harmony can easily lead others to label ISFJ as a "bad good person". If its main meaning is to ask for nothing in return and receive nothing in return, then that is not the truth. ISFJs are just worried that their utilitarian (benefit-oriented, commercialization shortcomings) way of thinking will destroy their emotional mask of being helpful, and they are worried that others will be unhappy and destroy the harmonious interpersonal atmosphere, which leads to others usually very definitely thinking "not reciprocating or taking advantage" isfj doesnāt matter eitherā.
At the same time, the deceptive nature of the shortcomings of the dark side of commercialization will also help ISFJs find ways to comfort themselves. When self-comfort is really unable to satisfy ISFJsā need to be reciprocated, they will inevitably blame themselves for being stupid and accuse others of being heartless. The way breaks out.In the end, it led to isfj tearing up the empathetic mask they believed in with their own hands.
This is the result of the blind spot of isfj's commercial thinking: over-protecting the external mask of interpersonal harmony, it is easy to ignore and suppress one's inner commercial or utilitarian needs. Because of this, ISFJs can easily be tricked by the passive defense in their blind spots; the more severe the repression, the more obvious the destruction of interpersonal masks, and the more embarrassing and embarrassing ISFJs will be.
The same is true at work. Over-reliance on the mask of harmonious interpersonal relationships makes it easy to ignore the blind spots of commercial thinking that they also desire to get promotions and salary increases. This causes ISFJs to be afraid of participating in competition and care too much about harmony, which makes it difficult to carry out work or affect work efficiency, including difficulty in working. Rejecting others and shelving one's own plans, or being easily consumed by interpersonal relationships, spending too much time here and killing actual productivity.
At this point, it is not difficult to understand why ISFJ does not like and find it difficult to be qualified for higher-paying and less replaceable management jobs, because the work content of supervision, command and order, official business, and making difficult decisions can easily be considered by them It is the most direct threat and destruction to the humane mask.

blind spot in thinking
The blind spot in commercial thinking is very obvious in the isfj. "Everything is about 'contract, party A and party B, should or should not'. The utilitarian way of thinking and behavior" is to alienate friendly relations between people. , the culprit who destroyed his second innate emotional mask.
Obviously, the dismissive attitude towards commercial thinking shows that it is not easy to make ISFJ people realize the importance of commercial thinking and let them accept this clumsy part of themselves. It is this attitude that makes them easily fooled by the blind spots of commercial thinking: they only want to show others an emotional mask and ignore or suppress their own utilitarian needs. The more this happens, the easier it is for the emotional mask to be destroyed; or often, Caught in a dilemma between the opinions of others and utilitarian needs.
's mask of disadvantageous functional creative shortcomings, that is, isfj's desire to improve innovation capabilities, also needs to integrate and develop the blind spots of commercial thinking to achieve it.
Yes, commercial thinking plays a balancing role in isfj consciousness and mind structure by transforming the mask of strengths and strengthening and developing the mask of shortcomings. Help ISFJ to use logical analysis skills more bravely and stably, to question whether it is necessary to care too much about other people's opinions, to analyze the truth of interpersonal relationships, and to evaluate whether various creative ideas and methods that can improve efficiency are objective and Reasonable.
