'LOL, especially with my crazy strong Te huh? ;-)
I promise I will think about it. :)
I will definitely communicate with him. It probably won't be exactly your words, but I will definitely communicate in person and via text and handwritten letters. :) I just hope he gets the hint.
Uhhh... very good point. Oh dear, the signals I'm sending him (that I thought were clear) are actually more complicated than I had originally thought. I *think* he knows I'm shy(?), since I'm pretty...
Hmmm... do you guys think it's adorable when girls clam up?
Gentleman and joe_the_buckeye, I suppose you guys are both right about him not being able to read my signals. I've realized that I have probably inadvertently sent him signals suggesting that I don't...
Oh my gosh!! This ^ is SOOOOOO true for me too! All my friends (even close ones) think I'm super extroverted. The INFJ's I know (who are supposed to be able to read people) have always guessed that...
The title of the thread is misleading. I have not figured out how to change it. I was originally typed as INFJ, but have had doubts because the description does not match me completely. However, I...
Gentleman: I know ISTJ's are hesitant to take the initiative and are really, really bad at reading social signs. With this guy, though, I am trying to be as obvious as possible without outright...
stargazing grasshopper: I have been reading that post at least once a week ever since I stumbled upon it months ago. :) It is an IMMENSELY helpful post for understanding ISTJ mentality. ...
To be honest, I am a bit uncomfortable with making him drive us to Bible study each week, because he has to drive 40 minutes out of his way. However, if I drive and pick him up, I barely have to...
Thanks Epicyclic - would you mind explaining what you mean by trying to make a mile out of an inch?
joe_the_buckeye: thanks for the suggestions - I will incorporate some inside jokes for sure. We definitely have a few of those. :) Update: I had Bible study again today with this ISTJ. He opens up...
This is why I usually emote through writing (letters). Otherwise, I can't even predict how bad of a leaky faucet I might turn into... :rolleyes: oh the joys of being an ISFJ...
I definitely generally analyze everyone. But like johnson.han.3, I have learned to only care about my analyses of people I really, really care about. Those are the people that I waaaaaaaay...
My inferior Ne drives me crazy. It makes me doubt myself, and generally, the more important the matter, the more I doubt myself. :frustrating: For example, I currently like this guy, and he does a...
Thanks for the suggestion, Epicyclic. I won't include pictures of the two of us because I don't have any of those. We also haven't really been anywhere alone (just the two of us). I was thinking more...
Thanks! I actually have a running list of all the little acts of service he's ever done for me and I will definitely pick a couple of the most memorable/funniest ones to include in that letter. :)
Consolidated Potato: Yes, I might do both, especially taking into consideration the advice of joe_the_buckeye. Instead of making the letter-opening scenarios vague/emotionally charged, I think I...
joe_the_buckeye - oh, I'll ISTJ it up a bit by handwriting it. :happy: I'm super traditional and am all up for handwritten notes. You think that's a good idea or am I taking it a step too far with...
Lol, johnson.han.3, I speak fluent sarcasm too, as evidenced by my Keep staring, that'll make me feel real good stick-my-foot-in-my-mouth moment. Generally, I like to think I have better...
Thank you, you are very sweet. Care to infuse some of your E and N into that ISTJ for me? :)
This ^ is why I am glad I came online and sought all your advice. Thank you so much for sharing, chanteuse! As an ISFJ, I am much better at articulating my feelings, although I only choose to do so...
Yes, I can already see exactly what you mean, chanteuse, although to give my ISTJ credit, I sense when he's stressed and am much quieter, but he still takes the initiative at those times to keep the...
I should clarify that I am an ISFJ, and the title of the thread is incorrect (I haven't figured out how to change it). Sorry about that! But I do tend to read into other's feelings... try not to...
stargazing grasshopper: thanks for your input! I agree that ISTJ's are not unemotional or cold - they do have lots of deep feelings, they're just not very good at expressing them. I can definitely...
Thanks for the suggestions - chanteuse, I'll consider being very straightforward. To be honest, I'm a very traditional girl, and I much prefer that the guy takes the initiative. However, I can see...
johnson.han.3: love to get your thoughts! Thanks! :) Update: Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement and advice. I confirmed with the ISTJ that he is indeed single. chanteuse, You were right....
joe_the_buckeye! Ha ha ha. Well, I'm glad we hit it off well, as your Lengthy and Subjective Guide... was super helpful for me when I first started taking an interest in this guy (months ago) and...
Thanks so much! Right now, I'm basically using baking for everyone at Bible study as an excuse to give him half of whatever I bake. I don't want him to feel awkward if I specifically bake for him. Do...
johnson.han.3 - hahaha! I'm tempted wrap some space up and see what he says. Thanks for the awesome suggestions though! AriesLilith - I'm pretty straightforward when I communicate - I don't tend to...
I am definitely a type 6w5 ISFJ. :) Don't know what the ISTJ's Enneagram type is though... A little update: I saw this guy briefly at church today. He's really stressed about his schoolwork. For...
^That Oh, and bat crap crazy. I'm going to have to steal that one and use it sometime on my friends. :) Also, how people argue with no logical sense just befuddles me.
HAHAHAHA!! The ending of that TED talk was HILARIOUS!! Based on the cakes, I'm going to have to agree that I am mostly a builder and partly a negotiator. Very enlightening. Thanks!
Hmmm... I like quiet and conservative, and I definitely like old couple holding hands :) johnson.han.3, would you mind explaining what you mean by builder? Thanks!
Devalight: Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have, through another thread, confirmed that my MBTI is actually ISFJ. The description matches me much more accurately. Also, I have a very strong Te...
Serious at work, but I know how to/can/do joke around too. Craaaaazy goofy with my closest friends - but very few people get to actually see that side of me. Count yourself lucky if you do. :)
This, ^ especially narcissism, plus: 1. People who complain all the time about everyone and everything 2. People who don't keep their word - if you say you're going to do something, you better do...
Oh good, I have some hope that he may actually like me more than a friend! Do you agree? I'm going to bed now - good luck with your studies! Make sure you don't fall asleep over your textbook! ;-)...
Hahaha! All right... I'll keep that in mind if I don't get replies from you. :) To keep the conversation going then - do you think this guy is ISTJ, or are we still unsure between ISTJ vs. INTJ? ...
Unhealthy ESFJ's can be very impulsive. I doubt a P would argue with you if you took 2 more showers than her. The unhealthy J is impulsive and judges others. The second girl definitely sounds...
Tee hee hee, I'm going to have to try that on him and see what he says.
He talks, just very quietly (especially when he's stressed out and with a group of people he doesn't know very well). And yeah - definitely not Dr. House when he's around the Bible study folks....
Yup, I think I'm an ISFJ with an unusually well-developed Te (due to my career as a scientist). Thanks lackofmops!
Thanks chanteuse. I'm actually not sure if he's an S or N. He personally tested for only 1% preference of S over N. However, there is another guy who leads our Bible study who is definitely an INTJ...
Thanks, cyamitide, for the links. After doing a lot of research (I've been reading about personalities nonstop since before I started this thread), I still think this guy is an ISTJ. ...
Thanks johnson.han.3, drmiller100, Cmart: I've been doing lots of reading and thinking about the functions. I think I am ISFJ, with a very well-developed Te (due to my career). Even though my...
drmiller100, Cmart, lackofmops: I'm trying to learn - why do you say that Si and Te are obvious? Would you mind pointing out some sentences to help me better understand these characteristics and...
Cmart, lackofmops, TML3193, drmiller100 Here are my answers to questionnaire #2: 1. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions? For example, a stressful time, mental...
And... FYI: here's the thread that's helping me determine my real MTBI. Feel free to help me out there too! http://personalitycafe.com/whats-my-personality-type/453770-type-confusion.html ...'
