Yara, The Loving Warrior (ISFJ)

Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging 

Overview

Yaras are true caretakers, highly intelligent and possess a real desire to do good in the world. Which is a good thing considering they make up 13 percent of the population. Indeed, Yaras are the people loved ones can call in a time of need who will offer practical, "tried and true" advice to fix their problems.

As The Loving Warrior, Yaras thrive on being protective figures and the Mama Bears of any group. They are fiercely loyal and will defend those they love. And when not defending a Yara is taking care of all her friends, she is the one who remembers to bring snacks for everyone and a planned itinerary for your road trip up the coast.

Yaras thrive in structured environments and feel most comfortable with pre-prescribed duties that they can fulfill passionately and with precision. Yaras are not fans of surprises since they often feel overly prepared for any given situation and thrive on that ability (Yara always brings extra waterproof sunscreen to the beach.)!

Famous ISFJs: Kate Middleton, Rosa Parks, Kristi Yamaguchi, Halle Berry, Rose McGowan, Louisa May Alcott, Aretha Franklin

Strengths

A Yara's strength lies in her ability to be both caring and reliable. She is aware of her emotions and in touch with her surroundings.

Yaras thrive in environments where they can fulfill their personal values and meet high expectations. “Work hard, work hard, work even harder and be kind,” is probably Yara’s slogan. She’s the night shift nurse that somehow still makes it to her niece’s ballet recital, or the train conductor that somehow gets home in time to celebrate their partner’s birthday, cake and all. Other personality types are left wondering “How does she DO IT??!?!”

Yara prioritizes close relationships and maintaining harmony and order with those around her. Yaras are deeply connected to their surroundings and are wonderful examples of people who are both logically and emotionally balanced. She is also a detailed observer, often referred to as "warehouse" of information. 

Common Strengths:  Patient, Observant, Imaginative, Enthusiastic, Loyal, Hard Working, Detailed Observer

Weaknesses

Yaras love tradition and this can sometimes hold them back from exploring their compassionate side further, sometimes being too afraid to try something new.

As introverts, Yaras could benefit from leaving their comfort zone and appreciating the perks of progressive movements and ways of life. Also, Yaras can sometimes place too high a priority on fitting in (this comes from the need for harmony). She tends to follow the leader and likes balanced, relatable social circles. This very human and logical approach can close warm-hearted Yaras off from wonderful, off-the-beaten-path friends that other personalities embrace with open arms. It’s okay to shake it up every now and then! Yaras could benefit from doing something wild, like staying out late or getting TWO ice cream sundaes. Get crazy, Yara, it’s okay once in awhile!

Common Weaknesses: Shy, Takes Things Too Personally, Overly Altruistic, Uncomfortable With Change, Work Overloaders

Romantic Relationships

Dedication and loyalty are what define relationships for Yaras. They take great pride in being fastidious caretakers and logical, loving partners. Responsibilities are paramount to Yara and she will thrive in a partnership that values keeping her word no matter how small. Even, “We switch folding laundry every other day” is an agreement a Yara wouldn’t want to go back on.  Yaras always want to help their partners and look for ways to dote on them. Don’t be surprised if you ask for a glass of water and Yaras bring you sparkling raspberry water with lemon juice and a hibiscus flower on the side.

Yaras look for relationships that celebrate tradition and they enjoy telling stories about their family’s past. A great partner for a Yara is someone who enjoys history, tradition and keeping their promises.

Friendships

Yaras are devoted, responsible friends who aren’t afraid to take the “Mom” role in the group. She will bring snacks to a nightclub or extra umbrellas on a rainy day. Yaras are that prepared friend everyone needs in an ever fast-paced world.

Truly a Loving Warrior when conflict arises, Yaras can be logical and straight to the point, even firm, but always forgiving and ready to mend the situation with compassion. Sometimes Yaras can be too overprotective. Don’t expect her to immediately like someone’s new S.O. because she’s cautious, careful and caring. Yara puts the care in careful, and it’s actually refreshing to have a friend so kind around.

Career Path & Workplace Habits

Yaras do not like the spotlight and prefer to perform their best behind the scenes. Yaras make great stage managers for theaters or pediatric nurses; someone who makes magic, but typically flies under the radar. Yara is okay with that, she is content to just know she has helped someone. Yaras could benefit from basking in the spotlight every now and then though. It’s healthy actually to boast a little. Yaras are amazing and deserve that time to shine. Yaras thrive in extremely structured environments that have a complete system and she enjoys fitting in. She doesn’t like ambiguous work where there’s no immediate goal. Overall, Yaras are conscientious, and kind employees that any business would benefit from.
