Karen Filipelli personality type is ISTJ, but she has two rare variants of the type, the ISTJ-A and ISTJ-F. In my experience, I found that many ISTJs have one of these variants, but few have both. Here is a link to a page with a list of all the variants: ISTJ Personality Type. If you have never seen this page before, check it out.
The reason I believe Karen has both is because she does not appear to fit in with the ISTJ stereotype. The ISTJ stereotype is a strong one. It is a very strict and orderly personality type. So when I saw Karen talk about "the one thing she would do differently," I was intrigued. She said,
