Sentinels ISTJ

Practical and fact-minded individuals, whose reliability cannot be doubted.

'I never understood for a long time why people so often told me to smile. I was always confused by this, not understanding why I should walk around with a constant smile. No one does that, right?...

That's because you're so enthusiastic!

Yes! This!

Every once in a while when I want a treat I go to a fancy store and buy Truffle Tremor. It doesn't last very long and is a bit expensive. But...oh.. so... good.

Oh! Greek-lookin' sandals!

I don't even know what strappies are.

The idea is to spend less on shoes to have more of them.

1.) Physical sciences 2.) Foreign languages 3.) Art ISTJ

I did well in school in general. I was in the advanced classes, no matter the subject. My writing tends to be stiff, and I have trouble coming up with ideas to write about. I did well enough in...

What is the term for when something is written vaguely enough that almost any reader can make it applicable to his or her own life? I can pick things out of Aquarius that applies to me. I can do...

The original purpose of the thread was how to distinguish between an ISTJ and an ESTJ. The necro comment (in addition to necro-ing the thread) does not add to the discussion. It's possible that it...

No, I just keep these things in a bag and pull them out whenever I wish.

I wasn't really bothered so much by the little joke, but I came in later and skimmed through it more quickly.

I was going to say ice water, but yours is better.

More fun and effective than a treadmill! (There is a correlation between fun and effectiveness.)

I like the semi-cheap razors (Soleil). And at least below the knees every day because even if I'm not wearing shorts (Muay Thai), my partner might need to grab hold of my ankle for a joint lock or...

It's like hot glue. It's hot to mold itself around the hairs and little crevices. As it cools, it hardens, so that it clutches the little hairs. If it's too cold, it will never really get a good...

It can burn sensitive skin. There is a 'recommended' temperature, but it's too high for some people, depending on the skin. My mom ran her own salon for several years which included eyebrow...

That whatever problem exists in front of you, whatever you want to achieve, you can figure out the answer, and you can achieve the solution if you look for it and act.

I will look for a recipe.

No, but I once knew someone who had cousin who visited the country. Haha, just kidding! I'm not, but I do have an abnormally high number of Canadian friends, one of whom I tease about bagged...

I think knees could be a formidable opponent to the jawline >:

|I only recently heard of them. I've never seen them in the states. Only in some places. They have pitchers to put the bags in.

Poutine sounds very wrong... but I really want to try a Nanaimo bar.

Yeah, I shouldn't say not at all. The real world is larger, though, and there are more things that can define status than being named prom queen. I will keep an I told you so in my pocket. I...

This post is going to be incredibly speculative. Anyway, I suppose that during high school, a cheerleading position is commonly viewed as a status symbol. It could be that many people seek to be a...

Hello! Do you mean Where do they fit in as far as competitive status goes? or in as far as perceived beauty goes? I think the answer will be different depending on whom you ask.

I am convinced this is why people enjoy reality shows. What about them?

I think part of the reason for models being skinnier is that marketing targets teens in order to get them to buy into their brand early. Teens tend to have less curves, and have a bit more of that...

Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Barricade the exits! Hug limit over capacity. Target identified as non-ISTJ. Welcome, Quante!

1)I'm also very introverted. Yes, but I can be outgoing for short durations. 2)I like spending time alone in my room. I love quiet time alone. 3)I have problems interpreting emotions. I have a...

She doesn't dislike you, but she isn't into you. She may even think that a relationship where she can keep some emotional distance is what she wants. The intimacy could possibly change with time...

Go through your week and set aside times (repeating every week) specifically dedicated to that task.

How long have you guys been together? Have you had times you felt were intimate before but now she feels too busy? Or has it never felt very intimate? Do you know her top love languages?

But if what niss says is true, the person would be willing, not because of the innate sexual drive, but because of the emotional connection and desire to give to each other.

No. Not weird at all. (Though kind of funny considering your handle ;p)

I don't understand the purpose, and feel a bit repulsed by the idea. Intimacy with someone I'm very close to has a real purpose. Casual + sex just doesn't equate for me. I suppose on the flip...

You seem sincere to me. This is why I'm willing to help you understand. Look at the motivations for some of the enneagrams labeled as competent types. (1, 3 and 5). It sounds like she has one (or...

The way I'm interpreting this whole situation is that they are young and live far from each other. She doesn't know where she'll be in her life, so she wants to keep a safe emotional distance. (Like...

The idea of this (to me personally, perhaps not other ISTJs) makes me uncomfortable, especially in large amounts. Occasionally would be okay. Pushed to do things I wouldn't normally do. ...

I try to (not always successfully) ask myself if what I'm going to say serves a purpose. Am I pointing out that something has a flaw, or am I actually offering a solution? Don't just say what's...

Best: ISTJ or INTJ Worst: ESTP or ESFP Not to say there have not been exceptions! Edit:

You probably want to look into the five love languages. Barring feelers like MBTI Enthusiast a lot of ISTJs have actions/deeds and quality time in the top of their love languages. Look at how he...

@MBTI Enthusiast : SO, SP I'm going to dig through this thread and take (or retake?) the enneagram test you posted, but I'm sure of my instinctual variants.

Based on my own observations, and maybe not describing other STJs. The way we think inspects each step, looks for potential risks involved with that step, and how to mitigate those risks. We are...
