'I think so. ISTJs are known as the introverts who are most in tune with society's values that, they can pass for extroverts if they wanted to (for a short amount of time of course).
It seems society does not like the business-like vibe the ISTJ can give off. Do you find to easy to make friends when you're not 'friendly'? Do you just fake a cheesy grin, or do you find people...
1. I don't think you can really force an ISTJ into any activities. He must have already noticed what you're doing since we're so observant, so getting his attention will not be a problem. He just...
I often ponder about what life contains as I'm so intrapersonal, but not so much about the bigger picture, that's more occasional.
I can be controlling but I'm also quite perceptive. If I do want my relationship to do well and see they want me to back off then I'll attempt to
I'm 16 and took the test last year, I've only got interested in it this year, I couldn't believe there were so many systems and ways to learn about people. It's vital stuff.
I'm quite logical and self-controlled, most of the time I don't see how fighting will actually help my situation, so there's no need. Plus, I see acting out in anger as an inability to handle people...
Types of one sort aren't always huddled up on one area. You could just live life and encounter places with a lot of variety in people, and at least one might be an ISTJ. If you go looking in places...
I never related to the 'superdependable' stereotype, or being the most organized, traditional or simply put 'boring' type at all. However as I get older, my life's structure is becoming more and more...
I am: Perfectionistic, purposeful, insightful I'm not: Bad-intentioned, fearful or outgoing. :happy:
Unfortunately I haven't been excellent at typing people, but after lot's of thinking and some petty attempts to type; I consider ENFPs (rare :sad:), ENFJs, ESFPs as best for me. I'm not too into...
:confused: I do not relate to this thread :unsure: Sensors aren't any less smart are they? ISTJs are supposed to be intellectual..
lololol I would love that!! ^^^
Yeah, people always interpret it as utter negativity
Yeah, I'm worrying about a particular detail that could go wrong in a period of 40mins, three days from now, so it's not wrong :)
Can be veery reclusive and moody. I think the laziness thing as some truth, they're not ones to do favours and risk wasting energy. I would say, a little private and not apt to sharing. These are...
I'm rare :confused:
I'm 70% introverted and all 9 ennegram types active in me are sexual variants besides 3. I'm extremely aware and concerned about how people perceive me and how my relationships are going. Although...
I wouldn't be too fond of the person after that and I'll definitely let them know in the same way they let me know, that they are not liked. Maybe you should reconsider you're approach to people?...
I didn't want to sound like there's nothing good about us and that we would have to think and search seriously hard to find one. I wanted to avoid negativity and let other ISTJs know that we do have...
What puts us 'out there' in the world, what advantages do you feel you have... in other words, why are we so awesome?
Why FP? I know she's a J because she's a real planner and 'get's mad when people alter plans at the last minuite'. But F rather than T? Perhaps because she stuck to her values through her career? But...
Perhaps sevens would be playful enough to really give them a good time. Fours could be emotional enough or twos? What are your thoughts.
Being an ISTJ I score really low on neurosis which is strange a female, and seriously bugs my ENTJ friend who thinks I'm immune to everything. However, true I'm never 'relaxed' as there's always...
Yeah, if they know too much they might use it against me later. I think we're more cautious than most in social situations due to our introverted ways. When things go wrong, extroverts can mend it...
I have to say, at times I'm not so spirited about being an ISTJ - every description we have just tell us we're boring, serious, traditionalists. :confused: :frustrating: I mean, there are interesting...
I was listening to 'Teardrop - Massive Attack' the theme for 'House' lol. I was obsessed with the band and thought it sounded pretty haha :confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s
1) Music preference? I like a variety to suit different moods, but I really don't like popular music.Don't know if this is strange for 'A Guardian'. I love artists that are more experimental and...
Social and sexual variants tend to be more concerned with relationships than anything, esp with the type 3 which is meant to be 'The Achiever' the so/sx types will only pay special attention to work...
I think it's really the self-pres variants that care for achievements
4's for being too arty and not realising it, 5's for having their own intellectual interests and seeing school as too conventional and demanding? Counter-phobic sixes just wanting to be rebels :wink:...
If tritypes are enneagram types that always occur one in each Enneagram Centre then we don't need them; as we all have all enneagrams in us at different levels.
8's because we do what we want when we want and generally don't care; believing ourselves to be the masters of our fate. The good thing is we won't blame anyone else for our circumstances. ...
Then you may have a few different enneatypes. Everyone has a trifix
I suppose i'm a 3-8-5. Just can't find my description though how irritating.
Hi, I'm also a new ISTJ and am looking forward to hearing some of your pointers! :happy:
Heyy I'm like that aswell, and I'm new too!
What do the types in the brackets represents?
Seems like there's a lot of loner ISTJs out there!
I'm just the same, hate doing anything to my hair other than brushing it. Black leather bag, jeans, tennis shoes and a top! Woohoo:wink:
I mean I'm definitely a 1,3 and 8 but at first I kept being typed as a 9 but I guess that's because 9's are at the top of the enneagram spectrum and can posses any traits of the others (such as the...
Good, i'm glad things are sorted out!
You should definitely find out about enneagream misidentifications because many types share traits, or you may be in a security or stress point. Also, try to answer questions in relation to how...
I'm not a tag along sort of person and definitely am happiest when I can organise my outings. I do not seek social contact a lot as it's not necessary but when I feel like it would be a good idea...
I've read somewhere : ISTJs select friends carefully, being keen observers of things and people around them. It may be that they a familiarising themselves with you- we're not extroverted so we...
Don't know what kind of music you may be into but the lyrics to this describe that state pretty well 'Nine Inch Nails-All the love in the world'. And I can relate-not being extremely close to anyone....
Myself, lol ISTJ. How boring I think I should do it again lool.. I guess the situation would be easiest when your with someone like you..
I also discuss philosophy, may not be something natural, just learnt it because I took the lesson in school. However, it's always me who brings the logical, scientific arguments to the debate lol.
Hugs are the new handshakes, especially for the younger generations. I have always hugged people -because its what you do in social situations. But come to think of it I may well be happier without...'
