The keeper
Unnoticed, but the gap shows the moment you're out
Behind, hands-on, by the rule, staying put.
Hard truths
you won't like these- 01You can't stand exceptions and get called rigid
- 02A number off and you can't sleep till it's right
How you got here
ISTJAbout you
You'd have written down exactly what there was and what went out. Rather than step forward you kept the storehouse and the ledger quietly, and without you nobody knew where the household leaked. Handling what you could see and count was what settled you.
You kept the set rule as it stood. An exception today means one tomorrow, you knew, so feeling didn't sway you — and to you that was trust. What you held never came up short, though you'd have been called rigid; you called it principle.
You didn't tire of the same work in one seat for years. You took pride in holding your share to the end rather than roaming, so you were quiet yet missed the moment you were gone. If you still do a task exactly to the finish, that habit is very old.
