One Myers-Briggs® Celebrity ISFJ Personality Type is Catholic nun and charity worker Mother Teresa.

Examining her life and body of work shows how she personifies the qualities of the Myers-Briggs Test ISFJ Personality Type.

ISFJ Personality Types are known for their Sensing preference and their profound respect for facts. They tend to have a very practical and realistic respect for facts, and their preference leads them to store lots of concrete information. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun that dedicated her life to one cause. She decided to give everything of herself and her religious congregation, the Missionaries of Charity, to the poorest of the poor. The individual’s past or reputation did not matter – if they were poor and in need, she would help. During her decades of service, she helped to ease the pain of countless poor people suffering from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and leprosy.

MBTI Test ISFJ Personality Types communicate with the outside world using their Feeling function. This leads the ISFJ Type to make decisions based on their personal values as well as their concern for others. ISFJ Types also develop very firm opinions when they combine their abundant amount of stored information with their very clearly defined values. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

Mother Teresa focused on helping the poor and needy, acting as the primary motivator for her actions. As she often operated in hostile environments, she had to keep the peace, by any means. This included controversial actions such as maintaining positive relationships with dictators. She also strictly stuck by her beliefs regardless of whether they were part of the popular opinion or not. Throughout her entire life, she strongly opposed both abortion as well as the notion of divorce.

ISFJ Personality Types are known for being extremely dependable and considerate. When they commit to a group or cause, they are very faithful in carrying out their responsibilities. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

Mother Teresa is an extreme example of the commitment and dedication personified by the ISFJ Type. She committed her entire life to helping her cause. After two heart attacks and additional heart problems, Mother Teresa offered to step down as head of the Missionaries of Charity, but the order voted to have her keep her position, and she continued to work diligently. By the time of her death on the 5th of September, 1997, she had helped the Missionaries of Charity grow to over 4,000 sisters and 300 associated brotherhood members that operated in 123 countries.

But there is another side of rapper 50 Cent, who was born Curtis James Jackson III.  During an emotional interview with Oprah on Oprah Winfrey’s “Next Chapter” he mentions how he switches between his “50 Cent” persona and his natural personality where he is much warmer and kinder. He also has great respect for his grandmother, who took him in after his mother died, and to this day strictly follows her rules of no swearing in her household.

MBTI Test ISFJ Types are also realistic and practical in the way they live their lives. For 50 Cent, it has never been enough to simply rest on artistic musical success for stability. Throughout his career, he has thrown his hat into numerous business ventures including film, television, and videogames, as well as sports drinks and apparel. Keeping track of his money and investments in order to provide financial stability has always been a big priority for 50 Cent.
