'What we consider to be sharing minor annoyances with others can come across as bitterness and anger if we don't keep our petty irritations in check. We're not very comfortable with displaying our...
I've tried it a few times. It's not for me, but I am pro legalization.
He is one of my best friends and we eventually worked very well together, but we had a rough start.
That article was fascinating. Thank you very much for sharing. It sums up a lot of what I am feeling.
...but look at that thigh gap. HOT!!! hahaha
My family doesn't drink when we are together. It's a taboo thing in my family. Really strange. I saw my mom have half a glass of wine a few years ago and she was stumbling drunk. It's the only...
I've seen every one of those films and I love them all. It's one of my favorite genres.
Best way I can describe Si is by using this example: I used to manage a large wing of a warehouse in a factory. I had several thousand parts stored in giant racks with lots of shelves. I had...
Sorry for the wall of text. I've tried to bullet point and summarize all my thoughts the best I could. I'm going through a serious dilemma in my career right now. I'm 27 and currently in middle...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwGat4i8pJI Ron Swanson. Greatest ISTJ ever and truly the most interesting man in the world.
I used to act in and direct short films with my friends 10-15 years ago when I was in high school. I loved it and some of them were pretty good, considering I was a 13-16 year old kid with terrible...
I love trolling my friends, but I don't like messing with random people.
Are you two close? I'm not at all close to my younger INTP brother. We have a very awkward relationship and I'm curious as to start mending it.
My time is valuable. If I know you're always late for something, I either start without you or show up later than you do. Not wasting my time waiting for someone who doesn't respect it. On the...
Incompetence, narcissism, and people who victimize themselves instead of taking responsibility for their actions. These are the three which top my list.
My first stint as a boss was when I was a supervisor of union forklift drivers at a warehouse. They were all twice my age and hated my guts for it. Only a third of my crew were good workers and I...

Satire... I LOVE satire... People will think I'm very weird because I'll be dying of laughter over something they only find mildly funny. For example, I saw American Psycho back in college with a...
Banter and poke fun at her, when she starts jabbing back, that mean's she is (as an ISTJ) getting comfortable with you. Be hilarious Be interesting Tell her you think you're somewhat attracted to...
I disagree. I work for a Fortune 500 company, and there are lots of different personalities in the company's management team, with many Ps around.
I worked with an ENTP before as a direct counterpart. We both managed one group of 20 people and... well... it was a challenge. He became one of my best friends over the two years we worked...
I was actually bullied by two subordinates. I used to supervise union factory workers at a small automotive facility in a previous job and two of the guys on my team liked to start drama and stir...
It's a lost cause, dude. Time to move on. She sees you as a friend and it's very rare to come back from that.
Not romantic at all. Hate getting gifts and hate buying them. Candles, chocolate, and baby making music don't get me in the mood for love, either. I'm a horrible boyfriend, in that regard. I'd...
Double Post.
Just tell him you like him. Seriously, just do it. Don't try to hint about it, flat out tell him that you have a crush on him. We don't get subtlety and are completely oblivious to other peoples...
I listen to everything, and I mean literally everything, except for Country (aka the Special Olympics of music). From 60's Soul to Death Metal to Classical to Underground Hip Hop, I listen to it all.
I was just going to post that the Green Mile was the only film that has ever moved me to tears, and I'm a big movie buff. I only really cry when I lose a family member or friend. I used to battle...
One of my best friends is an ENTP. We met in college in ethics class, which he started the day off almost getting into a fistfight with another student regarding the 2nd Amendment. lol. We've been...
If I don't have plans with friends for a vacation, I usually stay home and read a few books. I could probably be a hermit, if I had to, as I really like being alone. Also, I don't mind eating...
I have a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering, which is joking called imaginary engineering, as it is the least technical of the engineering disciplines and focuses on practicality, process...
Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead. I relate to his leadership style/ability, which he does out of necessity to take care of those he loves because no one else is strong enough to lead. It...
Nope. I'm not religious, and I'm apathetic towards religion. My parents wanted to let me make my own mind up about it and the bible doesn't really give you answers when you're old enough to not...
I don't fit all the characteristics of a stereotypical ISTJ... I'm a very messy person, but when I clean up once a week, everything is immaculate. I'm also late to some things on purpose. If I'm...
I currently work for an ISTJ who I don't really like and is kind of a dick. He spent 3 weeks just observing everyone in my department going about their business, watching us deal with problems,...
I don't run from confrontation but at the same time I don't actively seek it out. I dislike dealing with confrontation, but if I feel that it is my duty to handle the situation, I take care of it.
Thanks for all the replies. I consider myself to be pretty private person, but I start to open up after a few weeks of getting to know someone, which is why I thought I would ask you guys if you had...
How private are you guys and how long does it take you to warm up to others? There is a girl I work with who I'm pretty sure is an INFP, and she almost seems to go out of her way to maintain her...
Same. 29. The test said the average for adults was 26.
You are a Cautious Realist. You are a Realist Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function, and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST. Routines are...
Dude, she's into you, regardless of her personality type. A woman who randomly texts you out of the blue asking how you are is definitely interested. If she is actually an ISTJ, I'd be even more...
I have the same feelings about ENFPs. There were two ENFP girls I can remember being really into me, but their immaturity, lack of responsibility, and overall drive for attention rubbed me the wrong...
I joined a fraternity in college and lived in a house with 30-50 guys with 2-5 dudes and their girlfriends in the same room as me. I became incredibly depressed some semesters because I couldn't be...
I hate ceremonies with a passion and I'll duck out on them, whenever possible. As far as weddings go, I'll attend the ceremony, but I'll duck out on the reception nine times out of ten.
Yep. Every day at work. I have a reputation of being a ruthless, hard ass, cold blooded, SOB according to all my employees and their union. That said, I cut my team a break more often than not...
My 3 closest friends are ENTJ, ENTP, & INTPs.
I'm usually lurking around. I hate typing on my iPad, so I usually don't log in to the site until I actually fire up my computer every once in a while.
Just curious to see to what extent other ISTJs use social media, such as Facebook or Twitter. I rarely log onto Facebook, even though every one of my friends uses it, and even deleted my account...
My mother said I came out of the womb an adult. She said I was the quietest baby she had ever seen and I had always been wiser than my years, though it didn't become obvious to everyone until...
I don't mind being an ISTJ. I have my struggles, just like everyone else, but usually my strengths allow me to handle just about any situation thrown at me. The only thing I don't like about my...'
