Confidential Report
Gabriel Melendez

Personality Type: ISTP

He described his profile as: Very Accurate

Introduction
Of the many factors that contribute to a successful future, an understanding of Personality Type is among the
most useful.
While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does remain constant is
an individual's Personality Type - the innate way each person naturally prefers to see the world and make
decisions. And although all individuals are unique, people of the same type share enormous similarities in the
kinds of academic subjects and careers they find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying.
By understanding the role Personality Type plays, people can gain important insights into their educational,
career, and relationship needs. And because people of different types often communicate in very different ways,
counselors and teachers can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student.
Understanding Gabriel
People like Gabriel are quiet, serious, and independent. He is super-observant but keeps most of his reactions,
thoughts, and opinions to himself. When he does speak, he tends to be literal, matter-of-fact, and honest, and
avoids small talk. People see Gabriel as totally calm and even tempered, and even his family and closest friends
rarely know what he's feeling. When he does speak his mind, he is truthful to the point of bluntness. Gabriel may
be baffled about why people take offense or otherwise react emotionally, and he may sometimes think
relationships are too complex and confusing. Because he is naturally private, he avoids big social gatherings and
would rather spend time alone or with a good friend, actively pursuing a particular interest. He enjoys the
outdoors, physical activities, or adventures that have a certain element of risk. Gabriel approaches problems with
curiosity, logic, and skill, it's very likely he's good with his hands.
Gabriel is also an easy going and casual person who doesn't like a lot of rules, structure, or restrictions on his
freedom. He likes to explore, have fun, and follow his impulses rather than live by any one else's expectations or
standards. Since Gabriel prizes his independence, he rarely imposes himself or his beliefs on other people. While
he is amazingly adaptive and able to turn on a dime, he often has trouble making decisions or following through
on projects that don't interest him. Sometimes he gets distracted and forgets his commitments. But luckily, Gabriel
is so resourceful that he is often able to improvise his way out of jams.
Note: Based on our assessment, Gabriel's personality type is "ISTP."
