4 Keirsey Temperament Sorter
Keirsey refers to the group as Guardians and says their greatest skill is logistics, “Guardians are concrete and organized (scheduled). Seeking security and belonging, they are concerned with responsibility and duty… They excel at organizing, facilitating, checking, and supporting.” The psychologist splits them into two roles, Administrators (ESTJ and ISTJ) are proactive and skilled at regulating, and Conservators (ESFJ and ISFJ) who are reactive and skilled at supporting.
