I think I'm the first ISTJ to write on this thread... and the OP has already been bashed several times. You mess with ISTJ, you mess with the SYSTEM!!
christ, fine I'll spell it out. THE ISTJs I'VE MET SUCK. I've already basically implied that twice and have also twice acknoweldged that I have my own issues but I'm not here to rant about myself, I do enough about that as it is.
People can hate an ENFP and make forums about it with everyone saying what they "hate" about them with no problem, because this is a typing personality site where everyone lumps people into catagories based on their experiences, observations, and readings. Don't act so innocent about it. I didn't want to get personal with those I have encountered so I lumped them based on their behavior and what frustrates me and tried to even remain lighthearted about it, but fuck it.
That's only because ISTJs are better making allies
Seriously tho, I thought this would be interesting thread, but people watered it down.
I'd love to hear more about why ISTJs suck and try to show you what have you misinterpreted. See, we ISTJs do always think that everything can be fixed. Am I being arrogant? Hope not, but I find it more likely that one person is misinterpreting than a whole type of people is malfunctioning.
You mentioned school uniforms. In Finland we haven't had such things for decades now, and rightly so. It could be argued that they prevent pupils being classified by their clothing (expensive/cheap/fashionable), but they are being classified anyways. So off with the uniforms and rigidity! Schools should be liberal places where intellectual and individualism is being harnessed.
Also, I have been to army for 6 months and I can tell you I hate it. No thinking allowed and everything has to be done in a certain way without a valid explanation. Hated that.
I also know some ISTJs that act almost as if they were autistic. I hate that too. They pay no attention to what other's are thinking or feeling. They completely miss the tune and atmosphere of the scene.
Now, come and badmouth ISTJs some more! I'm more than willing to correct you.
