Chosen for what? I hope you are not talking subconsciously about some time of group that is superior and is chosen by god or something because we are all equal and no one is better than anyone.
Finally a description of an ISTJ that actually sounds like me, which I am. Occasionally I mistype as an Intj, thus type descriptions tend to be a bit off when it comes to me.
Interesting, i did the same. Do you have a difficult time getting along with other girls? i want to get along with them and i do try..but for whatever reason.. i have a difficult time being around a lot of them.. i find too many of them to be too petty and ridiculous.
Pretty much, yes. I've always gotten along with males easier than I have with females. I just think being obsessed with makeup and putting other girls down is silly, and guys just wanna play games all day which I like to do too. :) It's nice to see other people who are similar are out there.
Lovely Hylian People can sometimes misunderstand where we're coming from at times. More specifically, people occasionally believe that we're being harsh or rude, when all we're really doing is gathering information to process and make a decision or judgement call.
@@jaycheek254 It would be helpful if you could come across a little more gentle though :-) My sister is an ISTJ and her bluntness is a bit too much to take at times.
That is so me when it comes to debating online vs in real life. Online I can take a few moments to think about what I'm going to say and provide links backing up what I say. However if I'm debating in real life I often wind up agreeing to disagree. I need time to think about what I'm about to say.
Thank you for this. I recently had spent a year with an ISTJ working on a research project and me being an ENFJ, I often felt hurt by her criticisms and bossiness. Only yesterday did I realize she might be an ISTJ, therefore I no longer feel so hurt. Because my younger sister is one and so is a good friend. Granted, they developed their feeling side better than my research partner, but still, I see patterns and now understand how better to talk/react to her.
I'm INTJ going out with an ISTJ guy.. he tries to "manage" me, like make me adhere to certain schedules, question why I am not present at certain times, ask why I disappear sometimes, but he does the same thing himself, especially when I want to talk about "feelings", which is a big step on my part.. it's like talking to a brick wall with him, help me!! the only thing we agree on is sex and we feel really comfortable in each other's silence.. so weird..
I'm an estj we also have very strong memory's I can recall past events from 7 8 years ago and remember them fully. With introverted sensing second. Extroverted thinking is first since 5 years old I've been leading and trying to influence and control people and things externally. Extroverted institution is more present in relationships or when goofing around. But some of my best past experiences I recall are from using Ne. Fi is the most difficult to control and the last cognitive function is always the most difficult in every type.
2:31 Oh, heavens. I cannot stand it when people just pop-up at my desk unannounced. Also, management mistakenly believes I am undermining their authority when I question and challenge their logic and conclusions. Nothing personal. I just want to be on the same page.
I'm an ISTJ personally type that's been told countless times that I don't communicate. This is because of the no small talk thing, if it's not pertinent to the situation then there's no reason to be talking. I've also been told that I come across as rude\direct when asking or answering questions. I just want the needed information and I just give needed information. ISTJ people are so misunderstood but if you want something done and done correctly the first time put one on the job.
...the reality is that people have character flaws and integrity issues and you may find that those issues describe a person better than their four letters. All 16 types can look radically different if the individual has interpersonal, psychological, emotional, and social problems. The MBTI was formatted and normed for emotionally healthy and well-functioning individuals.
Really? I always thought of Spock as an ISTP since Shockwave (An ISTP) supposed to have been an Evil Spock Transformer. 🤔 Soundwave and Laserbeak are ISTJ though. 😍 However, I (An ISTJ) do see us being friends (ISTJ and ISTP). 😀
As an ESFJ, I have a good friend who's a male ISTJ. We totally get along with our sense of routine and being hands on about everything... ...but he's not very good with conversing with others, but feels comfortable talking to me. I usually answer his questions directly, get straight to the point when it gets to a certain topic and I don't try to be offended when he says things directly. I've taught him to speak with more compassion, but he has taught me not to beat around the bush when explaining simple things. Great video! 👏👏👏
Most online tests say i'm ISTJ, but watching a lot of youtube videos talking about them being all traditional, i was like 'this can't be me, those tests are bullshit'. now watching this communication video, i was just thinking 'this is absolutely, exactly me'.
To Denis and paradoxparody: I haven't addressed this, but this seems like a good opportunity...Myers-Briggs does a nice job of assuming the best in people. It accurately describes people's personality characteristics and accentuates the positive. What the MBTI does not measure is whether or not a person is a jerk, or lazy, or lacks competence, etc. The reality is there a some lazy and mean individuals out there. I encourage teams to look for positive motivations behind behaviors, but...
I am an ISTJ and I am not good with communication with people in high school I have a lot of friends but when I went to college I have no friends I even not good to say hi or hugging stuff.
I heard from my other classmate that someone in my group work backmouthing me and says that i am bossy.But, they just couldnt deny me because most of what i said is right. And what make them do not have a point to fight my bossiness is that i did not justask them to do things but i actually DO my work properly. Iam not bossy. Its just that i get dissapointed and pissed when things doesnt go my way. So, i need to organise all their work in order to get what i expected. I knew they just didnt like my personality. But, they just could not help it since im the person everyone rely on!
In class, everyone would like to be in a team with me because they knew that i have a great strategy in order to win. Im sure you fellow istj could relate to this.being Organised and well planned rocks babe! Do not be ashamed to admit that you are istj because we are cool in our own way ;
: ) No, it's not a bad thing. It tells me that you are very clear that you have a Thinking preference and understanding that helps you play to your strengths as well as makes you cognizant that a Feeling preference is not a natural preference for you.
Great question...ISTJs are loyal (or stubborn, however you want to describe it) and they need compelling evidence to overturn a belief system. The source and facts must be credible. I'm curious on the zelousness of your father's belief...it may speak to a deep, unshakable faith, or it may reveal that his faith and belief system is "adequate" and/or he may believe that the imporantce lies in simplying having faith in something. If so, he may not be compelled to change.

I feel that I can't debate about religion with my ISTJ Dad (I'm an agnostic INTP). He admitted that if he was brought up with a different religion he would follow that one. Do ISTJs brought up by Christians continue being Christians because it is what their parents (authority figures) told them was right? How do ISTJs go about applying independent thought?
My boss is an ISTJ, the traits he has that stick out most to me and others are authoritative, unthankful, inconsiderate and disrespectful not just to me but other employees. This perspective comes from an INTP (myself) and I firmly believe that the ISTJ can't handle being in a position of power. Their management over people is often unfair, dictatorial and extremely tunnel versioned. They make great worker ants though.
This sounds so much like my colleague, I’m almost certain that she’s ISTJ. I’m an INFJ, and we don’t get along pretty well:/ It’s been like that since day 1
I believe that this has nothing to do with incompatibility between ISTJ and INFJ, because i have a boss, who seems ISTJ (and i am INFJ), and we appreciate another very much. I have no idea, why he likes me, i guess i come across as very dependable and have a gentle, appreciative way of communication. Also, i am very organized, but there’s still an openness and chaotic approach (the N-aspect). But this is only a guess, because he never gives me positive feedback. What he gives us instead of supportive words though is acts of support. He‘s always there for us, when we don’t know something. We just need to tell him, then he gives us a very clear and structured answer. It feels like we‘re all together a machine that he fixes every now and then, and then the machine runs smoothly. It has no robotic feel to it (i as an INFJ couldn’t stand that), more a very good feeling of efficiency. Work is so easy, when we‘re in a flow of efficiency. If we happen to make a mistake and communicate something wrong to a customer, he is there and takes all the responsibility. He‘s fair and treats us the same, but i know that he really likes me on a personal level, too, not only on a professional one, because he does small talk with me. 😉
Haha damn, sometimes I tend to be more work focused than people focused. I really need to learn to take extra effort to relate and say good job before I give comments and feedback to the other person.
I've been in a relationship for 2 years with an INTJ man. I'm an INFJ female... We are day and night but we're the complimentary image of each other: My right brain/ his left brain; my intuition/ his logic/: Our commonality is Judgement and we arrive at the same conclusions based upon totally different cognitive processes. I often say of him, "That man's gonna drive me buggy!" While he looks at me in amazement and says, "That crazy woman drives me out of my skull!" In chorus we say, "But what would s/he do without me?!?" Yes, we had to decide not to take each other's 'Judgement' as personal criticism... Rather we (eventually) come to the conclusion: "S/he said that because s/he cares so much about my welfare... Ain't that sweet?" We're life companions but so far have not given up our own apartment necause each of us Introverts needs a place of retreat. Eventually he will have his garage to restore old cars and I will have my studio for art and I'll travel addressing groups. Then we will probably be able to live in one household comfortsbly: Having Bolt-holes for each Introvert can't be ignored, glossed over, or done without for Introverts !!!
I don't really expect him to thank me or anyone constantly I may have chosen my words poorly but no he has never given positive feedback to anyone. Besides he doesn't pay me, corporate does. He barks orders and does little work, he doesn't lead by example like a true man. ISTJ's get things done but they don't think about the other variables to be in a position of power. In a meritocracy the position of power should go to the INTJ the master mind
My favorite ISTJ statement: “that’s a terrible idea” 😒 (as an ENFP it makes me kinda...🤨☹️) I’ve learned I just have to believe ISTJ’s and take them at their word. That helps me not be unnecessarily offended. I’m always trying to read into things. 😅
I had a similar experience but i think our examples are especially underdeveloped ISTJ. They hate expressing feelings and being open. It's very frustrating for Fi types
will not change it till God shows up in my footstep.I do not think authority figures have anything to do with the decision ur father made unless of course ur father says otherwise,there must be something that happened that gave him a reason to strongly believe in what he does.Though if someone wanted to 'debate'(argue) with me abt religion I would not mind:DMind you I am no expert on ISTJs just telling how it is from my pov.
Uhhhhh I'm WAY less serious than this sounds. XD Though it's true that it's borderline impossible for me to take something personally... I think maybe it's a problem. LOL
I recommend taking the authentic MBTI and then discussing your results with an aforementioned certified MBTI consultant. I can't type a web address in this post, but you can find a lot of great info on how to take the MBTI online at typeiq(dot)com
Tell me about it, taken for granted. I can't stop until I finish something. It's pathological that I have to have everything done correctly. You can't imagine how I resent everybody else not being the same way at work!
You know it's painful to hear you say that b/c every personality has strengths and weakness. Growing is a process that everybody goes through and just because you're an ISTJ doesn't mean you can't improve things. In the case of personality, nothing is set in stone. I'm an ISTJ and I value my work ethic and organization. At the same time I'm trying to open myself a little more and not seem so "cold". Appreciate strengths and acknowledge weaknesses :)
@@vick4135 Thanks but this kind of answer doesn't really seem appealing to ISTJ's since we don't really think about emotions controlling us but we control them
If I may, I'm currently an ISTJ but before this I was an INFP. I hated the way I was so emotional at little things and the way I cared for others more than myself. I decided to change my thinking as a whole and I'm an ISTJ now. What u need is a just a change in ur perspective of life. Think logically rather than emotionally. Follow ur mind more than ur heart. U'll really avoid making many mistakes in life in the future if u think.
izaatmusic...Thanks for the post. I come across hundreds of people who take the MBTI (or, in a lot of cases, some unreliable MBTI knockoff online) but haven't reviewed their results with a certified MBTI practitioner. Consulting with an MBTI practitioner allows you to discover your "true type". Message me, and I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
Nick...well done! Very funny. Here's my two favorite quotes from ISTJs that have attended my workshops. 1. Interesting program for an ISTJ. Would never have thought I would enjoy it. You seemed very prepared and I loved your examples. ...and this masterpiece... 2. I didn't dislike it at all.
ISTJ's unite!!! The chosen few.
@Silver Atheist🙆🙆
My guy's ISTJ. He is AWESOME!
Yes, they are critical, which can feel wounding to an Fe.
Chosen for what? I hope you are not talking subconsciously about some time of group that is superior and is chosen by god or something because we are all equal and no one is better than anyone.
Communicating with everyone by thinking.
Yes, their secondary Te doesn't fit well with someone who has secondary Fe function.

I kind of laughed to myself at this video because I never realized how I may come off to others, being ISTJ myself.

Definitely! Saying without thinking can never happen~
The thing about them liking to challenge others is true, but I find that they get very defensive when others try to challenge them or their beliefs.
That's part of challenging. Sure, I'll listen to your side but I'm not without my defenses.

You know it's painful to hear you say that b/c every personality has strengths and weakness. Growing is a process that everybody goes through and just because you're an ISTJ doesn't mean you can't improve things. In the case of personality, nothing is set in stone. I'm an ISTJ and I value my work ethic and organization. At the same time I'm trying to open myself a little more and not seem so "cold". Appreciate strengths and acknowledge weaknesses :)
I'm an ENFP and this world needs ISTJs. 🙂
Everyone is necessary in this world, don't hate yourself try to love who you are cause after all there is always someone who unconditional love you
@@vick4135 Thanks but this kind of answer doesn't really seem appealing to ISTJ's since we don't really think about emotions controlling us but we control them
Answer: Email. So I can read over it many times and check its prefect. People can respond to me professionally with their facts and evidence.
I wish I was an ISTJ
My life would've been very much better...very organized..i hate my emotions, my overthinking etc.. it's just ruining my life
MalazForever what is ur MBTI?
ISTJs overthink too. Emotionally, we're pretty bad too. We're far from perfect. Try to focus on what your tipe does best
If I may, I'm currently an ISTJ but before this I was an INFP. I hated the way I was so emotional at little things and the way I cared for others more than myself. I decided to change my thinking as a whole and I'm an ISTJ now. What u need is a just a change in ur perspective of life. Think logically rather than emotionally. Follow ur mind more than ur heart. U'll really avoid making many mistakes in life in the future if u think.
Hi MyCharlie360! I apologize for the delay in this response. I'll shoot you a message as 500 characters may not give me enough to reply in detail.
ISTJ = Taurus
Majin Vegeta lol funny story is I’m a Taurus born on May 11th but I’m the total opposite of an ISTJ since I’m an ENFP lol
I'm a piscies and a istj.....
I think Capricorn is more fitting
izaatmusic...Thanks for the post. I come across hundreds of people who take the MBTI (or, in a lot of cases, some unreliable MBTI knockoff online) but haven't reviewed their results with a certified MBTI practitioner. Consulting with an MBTI practitioner allows you to discover your "true type". Message me, and I'd be happy to walk you through the process.
That's all me
I'm ISTJ
No I was wrong
LMAOOO IS THIS HOW PEOPLE SEE ME?? RIP
ISTJ no other way!!!
I'm an ISTJ :)

are you serious you want to do social work? I know an ISTJ who doesn't see the purpose of everything or care about people.
Tips for communicating with ISTJ's...................don't
Nick...well done! Very funny. Here's my two favorite quotes from ISTJs that have attended my workshops. 1. Interesting program for an ISTJ. Would never have thought I would enjoy it. You seemed very prepared and I loved your examples. ...and this masterpiece... 2. I didn't dislike it at all.
lol i like writing
Omg me lol
I'm serious and boring, but I'm high IQ and make tons of money
