The bullshit about ISTJs all being tradition lackeys mostly if not entirely comes from David Keirsey.
It's because he did most of his research on the topic with older generations, where nearly all the SJs are traditionalists.
In that situation it'd be very easy to get confused and think that traditionalism is inherently associated with the SJ temperament, but the older SJs that he interviewed were traditionalist because traditionalism was the safest and most predictable approach in the context of their lives at that time, not because they see traditionalism as inherently superior.
