What is the personality type of Barbara Gordon? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Barbara Gordon from Batman Beyond 1999 and what is the personality traits.
Barbara Gordon personality type is ISTJ, or the "Seat-Saver" personality type. INTPs and ISTJs are the least likely of all the types to change careers, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). (For a more detailed explanation of the ISTJ, see our article The ISTJ Personality Type and Career.)
This is because ISTJs are the "seat-savers" of the MBTI. They're the ones who believe that doing one thing well is more important than doing many things poorly. "If you're happy in your job, there's no point in leaving it," says MBTI personality type specialist David Kierzkowski. "And they don't want to look like they're changing."
Of course, ISTJs can change careers anyway, but they'll do it very slowly. They may not want to take any risks because they're afraid of losing their jobs. They'll be more likely to do research, read up on their options, and spend time talking to people who work in their chosen field, before they make any decisions. And in most cases, their careers will include at least a few years spent in "professional purgatory"—that is, doing nothing.
