Today's article deals with the other two types in the third group of the 16 personality types, the defender and the logistic. The defender (ISFJ code), is a loyal protector, and does not stop defending his family and friends, and we may not meet this type often, but the truth is that they are many, and they reach 13 % of the total human population, and they work in the field of medicine, academia and charitable work, and this type may be very fierce in defending his family and friends.

Defenders accept change with open arms, and can be relied upon to perform tasks, but they have a problem of procrastination, as they tend to postpone things for the last moments, but in the end they get what needs to be done, and they always strive to make sure that others appreciate their work, They have a great ability to remember the past, and recall What situations they went through, and how others dealt with them.

The defender always seeks to adopt societal issues, and although this character falls within the introverted personalities, but at the same time she has a great ability to make others happy, and stands by them, and she does not like to be in the spotlight.

The most important strengths of the owners of this personality are the continuous support of others, and the possibility of dependence on them, as they are characterized by patience and understanding, and they have a wide imagination, high innovative and creative abilities, and strength of observation, and they always have great enthusiasm and energy, in addition to high skills in fixing things, and helping others.

As for their weaknesses, they are too shy and humble, which may waste their rights, or miss some opportunities, they take things personally, for example, if you criticize a certain type of cars that they love, they may consider it a criticism of them, and they do not differentiate between personal matters, and things At work, advocates are repressed, difficult to express, can influence others, and do not discern whether or not others deserve it. One of the most famous advocates is Queen Elizabeth.

As for the other type, the logistic, the owner of the ISTJ code, they also make up 13% of the people, and they are similar in some features to the personality of the defender, but they are more practical and rational, although they are also introverted, excel in organizational and logistical aspects, and therefore they are successful military Organizational leaders who take pride in completing their work accurately and on time, focus well in performing the required tasks to the letter, are not inclined to assumptions and guesswork, but rather analyze the reality accurately, and base their decisions on the data available on the ground.

They do not tolerate or accept hesitation, and it is easy for them to make decisions quickly, and they expect others to understand the situation, and to change according to the changes.

If there is a date to hand over a task, and discussions with the work team increase, the logistician becomes sharp, and makes unilateral decisions without hesitation.

Logisticians often prefer to work alone, as they tend to be independent and self-sufficient.

The most important strengths are honesty, will power, adopting responsibility, calmness, ability to make decisions, and imposing order.

As for weaknesses, they are stubbornness and extreme intransigence, and excessive sensitivity to some things, such as delaying in completing tasks, or not meeting deadlines, blaming others, and blaming themselves a lot.

• If there is a deadline for the delivery of a task, and discussions with the work team increase, the logistics becomes acute.
