Sentinels ISTJ

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

'I'm 21 and I first found out about the MBTI when I was 8 (my INFP ex-stepmom is a therapist and is into the MBTI :tongue:). She typed me as an ISTJ but I don't think I actually took the test until...

That's not necessarily true. I know of a lot of people (females and males) who don't want to have kids, but would like to get married. I'm sure, if you wanted to, you could find someone who shares...

Our (ISTJ) lack of touchy feely-ness definitely can be an issue -- I met my current best friend in senior year of high school and I only hugged him once that entire year (the day after graduation,...

Is this where your obsession with ENFPs started? :tongue:

Exactly! For me, if I decided to marry someone then it wouldn't be a decision that I came to lightly. And I don't mean in the usual way that people have to decide whether they're ready to commit or...

NARCO, I have the same objective when looking for a boyfriend -- If he's not someone that I could see being my husband (as in, he has the personal values that I look for in a person) then I won't...

Uh huh :proud: I was at IUPUI before and now I'm at IU!

Hi John! :) This is true. :proud:

I'm from Indianapolis, but just this year I moved to Bloomington. :wink: Johnnyguitarman: Sure, I'd be interesting in hearing your music!

I like animals! :laughing: I have a pet dog (a Papillon) and I love him. I definitely would have another pet (dog or cat) if I could afford to spend more money on one and afford to spend more time...

Honestly I think it would take a lot for me to even consider divorce, like an extreme circumstance - i.e. him hitting me or something. If I make a commitment to someone as serious as marriage, then I...

I rarely ever drink (and I didn't even get around to drinking on my 21st birthday) but I will have one or two drinks now socially when I go out. However, I don't do shots or anything like that and...

How am I (an ISTJ) creative? * Creative writing - I like to write stories and I was very into screenwriting for a long time (and was told by peers and professors that I'm quite good at it --...

My best friend is an INFJ! :laughing: What I think about him: He's extremely intuitive (and prides himself on that among other things, haha), he's an artist but doesn't really like other art...

1. I'm exactly the same way - if someone wants me to know that they like me, then they'll need to spell it out and say it bluntly...otherwise I just won't know. So, yes, I'm definitely socially...

I'm the exact same way -- adverse to using social networking sites/messengers. Which basically means if the person isn't physically nearby, then there's a good chance we'll lose contact. :unsure: ...

Welcome to PersonalityCafe! :laughing:

Yay! I look forward to finding out. :proud: Finding out how well different types interact with each other, always intrigues me.

ISTJ, here! *waves* :laughing: Sugarfix, out of curiosity, do you know what type your husband is (or if he would take the test)? :happy:...Just curious.

I understand and appreciate your suggestion, but I just don't think that's likely to happen. I'm all for saying hey I like spending time with you, we should do it more often (in fact, I plan to say...

Oooh, that makes more sense. So why are you in the ESFP group (or, at least, that's what it says under your username)?

The only problem is...I don't really talk about my feelings...ever (like, not even with my parents or people I'm really close friends with). I'm not sure why it's so difficult for me, but it...

Another female ISTJ? Yay! :proud: Welcome to PersonalityCafe, Sugarfix!

Off-topic (sorry) but... are you sure that you're an ESFP? :mellow: I ask, mostly because this doesn't sound very ESFP to me.

Yes, this is exactly my problem. Usually when I befriend extroverts, they'll make it obvious that they like me and want to be my friend, then we'll do something together that same day/night/weekend....

Happy response = Good sign (Yay!). At least I know I can still interpret the obvious when it comes to emotions, hehe. :proud: I suppose that's true (about the invitations) since, as a fellow shy...

The last new movie I watched: Slumdog Millionaire The last actual movie I watched: Before Sunrise :happy:

Thanks for responding! I hope you're right. :mellow: I just called him and said that I would go (and he sounded really happy and kind of surprised when I told him...so that's a good sign, yes?):happy:

Well I talked to him this morning during (and after) class, but I forgot to ask him about the party. However, he did kind of invite me to go with him to a lecture/discussion on international foreign...

I guess, I just assumed it would be a big party with lots of friends and loud music. Otherwise why would he mention the part about his roommate being out of town for the weekend? Would he really have...

After thinking about it more, I've finally come to the conclusion that he really doesn't feel strongly toward me either way (he probably feels something like, If we become good friends, fine. If...

Maybe...but considering the party is with his friends, I'm sure he's comfortable with them. :tongue: Or maybe not, haha. Thanks for the input, though!

Actually, I grew up an army brat and so I've known a lot of military people (some older, some peers, and some in different areas of the military - marines, airforce, navy, etc.) and about 90% of...

That's okay. All advice is appreciated. :laughing: I feel the same way. Even when I have gone to parties in the past with close friends, I still don't have very much fun. I'd rather just be at...

Thanks! I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only person who feels that way about parties. As for the excuse...do I need one? Can I just tell him that the party scene really isn't for me, and...

Yeah, I'm definitely taking all the advice with a grain of salt. The other day I seemed more confident about him wanting to be friends but honestly I'm still unsure. Today the ISFJ guy, finally...

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I definitely think I'm going to have to just suck up my shyness and go ahead and take the initiative. I would hate to lose something that could turn into a good...

I understand this. I could feel that there is a connection between us and the potential for a good friendship, but he may not feel the same way. I definitely accept that. Thanks for your opinion...

Oh I understand now, thanks! That's true, I hadn't thought about it like that before. That's a good point. I do think that it would bother me if I was the one who constantly had to take the...

I just first wanted to say Thank You for giving me your perspective. I'm an introvert so I didn't think it'd be that hard to figure out a introverted male...but it definitely is a lot more difficult...

Haha is it? The office supplies store used to be my favorite place as a kid. Then, when I was 19, I worked there for the summer. In the interview I told them how much I used to (but still) love it...

Haha, I thought so. But all the types have flaws. Like with me...if someone expects me to hug them and go into detail about my love and feelings for them on a daily basis, then they'll be sorely...

I think the bolded part is the problem. With some of the INTJ's I've known, they can seriously hold a grudge. Then they end up remaining isolated from that person. With time, they don't deal with...

Haha yeah...not many of us around, unfortunately. :bored:

I do this all the time. Everything else I don't really do (except for the mom&flowers thing one time). :proud: This would annoy me. . . not make me feel the love :tongue: And if a person did...

I'm the same. As long as I'm prepared for the questions, I can speak confidently and without hesitation. But if they ask me something I didn't prepare for, then I'll definitely have to pause for a...

Haha. So true... :tongue: Welcome to the forum, Naydra!

Hmm...when I was a kid I wanted to be a lawyer. I also loved office supplies, so I definitely wanted to have a nice office of some kind. :wink:

The exact same thing happened with me. I took this history course once and barely ever spoke in class. Then we each had to give this big presentation, in a lecture hall filled with about 100+...

Wow...yeah. I'd have to agree with this. I absolutely loved being friends with an INTJ, the intellectual conversation was very stimulating and enjoyable. But they hold a grudge like no other, and a...'
