## How ISFJ careers are matched

- Each MBTI type is turned into a six-axis interest vector using published correlations between the MBTI dimensions and Holland's RIASEC model. Extraversion pulls towards Social and Enterprising work, Intuition towards Artistic and Investigative, Thinking towards Investigative and Realistic, Feeling towards Social and Artistic, Judging towards Conventional, Perceiving towards Artistic.
- Every occupation in the bank carries its own O\*NET Occupational Interests profile. The fit score is the cosine similarity between the ISFJ vector and that profile, scaled to 0–100 and adjusted slightly by O\*NET work-style signals.
- The score measures interest-profile overlap only. It says nothing about your skills, your education, your salary needs or whether you would enjoy a specific employer.

No personality instrument predicts job performance or satisfaction on its own, and this ranking makes no claim to. It tells you which occupations involve the kind of work your profile leans towards. The pay, outlook and training data next to each one is what tells you whether it is a realistic move. Full method: https://nuecareer.com/careers/methodology
