Polar bear
Polar bears are strong and determined. They are at the top of their food chain and, like ISTJs, they can enjoy being the boss. To hunt for food, they have to learn and perfect their skills. ISTJs also like to perfect their skills and then use them throughout their life. Polar bears, like ISTJs, can spend a lot of time on their own and be perfectly happy while in their own company.
Strengths
Can work quietly and steadily on something until it is finished.
Like using skills already learned.
Pay attention to details and like to get the job done properly.
Can follow plans and decide quickly.
Famous polar bears
Jeff Tracey (the dad in Thunderbirds)
Steve Davis
Delia Smith
Gordon Brown
Kelly Holmes
Mr Darcy (from Bridget Jones's Diary)
Alan Shearer
Michael Owen
As children
Often intense and serious (they are trying to make sense of their world) and appear more mature than many of the adults around them!
Often attracted to interests that require precision and skill (may prefer solitary rather than team games/hobbies).
Learning best by doing, being shown how to do something, prefer being corrected in private.
Tend to value routine and structure rather than surprises (Polar Bear) or the opportunity to create new models/ideas/theories (Barn Owl).
Like to research topics in detail and become 'an expert' - allow them such opportunities.
As teenagers
Often more adult than the adults! They value their independence, privacy and personal space. They're dependable, loyal and responsible.
As girlfriend/boyfriend
They're usually more practical, loyal and sensible than romantic and spontaneous.
At work
Natural task finishers.
Good at understanding and applying rules.
Over-represented in accountancy, law, uniformed services, surveying, business administration, and management.
To reduce stress
Take a break sometimes and praise people around you.
Preferred roles
Inspector, supervisor, organiser, leader, parent.
Leadership style
Direct and fair, respect hierarchical structures, follow procedures, expect deadlines to be met, task focused.
I don't think it could have been any more accurate. Everything it has said is spot on.
