ISTJs are the most mistyped in the MBTI community

The typical description of the ISTJ is that they're planners, robots, rule followers, prefer stability, are uncreative and unintuitive. Of course many ISTJs do fit the stereotypical description, but many do not! After years of study of the Jungian Cognitive Functions (which are the key to determining type), and being close to many ISTJs, I'm sure that the following people use Si-Te-Fi-Ne. I chose examples that give a thorough depiction as possible of their type for a short video. There has been debate and controversy over their types because the ISTJ is so stereotyped and misunderstood. ISTJs are given the short end of the stick and they need a shout out!


Bruce Lee: ISTJ

Richard Dawkins: ISTJ

Emma Watson: ISTJ - I really like what she stands for, but terrible actress, sorry Hermione!

I do agree with bruce lee, many people type him as ISTP, I agree he's an ISTJ and have a very deep understanding and interest that shows Si. I don't know much about the others but I think Dawkins is probably INTP.

Bruce Lee: ESTP.
ESFP: Paris Hilton, Emma Watson. I am not sure whether I have met an ISTJ in the real life. But one of the blogger identified himself as an ISTJ. I say, I think so. He doesn't mistype himself.

Yep stereotypes certainly exist in the MBTI community.

I met an ISTJ once, stood tall as a tree did he, and his wroth was mighty and fierce. I once saw him take up a tree by the roots one handed and use it to hit a golf ball three miles and right into the hole in one.

The most obvious ISTJ on TV is probably Robert Irvine of the Food Network's "Restaurant Impossible". Tabatha Coffey is another ISTJ. Bruce Lee comes across as an extrovert to me. People say Anthony Hopkins and the late Johnny Carson are ISTJs but I haven't seen much footage of either person out of character. Johnny's on-stage persona is very outgoing but he's allegedly a very private person.

If we're speaking about the fans/community of MBTI, INFP's/INFJ's are the most mistyped type, mainly because of the word 'Sensitive' being commonly used out of It's context, and people end up having the INFx label being slapped on upon them. And if you want my blunt thoughts, if they respond back with along the lines of "I'm being misunderstood", I have nothing to say regarding this but to agree with them, it's the same with me also, I'm no exception regarding this.

And what about the pseudo-INFP/INFJ's on purpose? The reason why those types getting hated on so much is because of those clowns.

You are right - everyone' mom is ESFJ and everyone's ex-girlfriend is INFJ

I = won't return my calls
N = makes absolutely no sense
F = way too emotional
J = she won't change her mind
:D

Lets not forget that all dads are ISTJ's, and their sons and daughters are all INFP's :happy2:

And the stereotypes are that all CEOs and billionaires are ENTJs and that INTJ is the main supervillain type.

Definitely agree with Natalie Portman and Emma Watson. If Paris Hilton is an ISTJ, it could explain why I always liked her as I generally have an affinity for ISTJ people :). They always seem quite sensible to me. I always felt the ditz image was a facade.

Thank you for calling Emma Watson ISTJ! Her and Hermoine are definitely ISTJ both, but Bruce Lee is definitely ISTP though. I don't think Paris Hilton is ISTJ at all too, ESFX seems to fit her more, I don't think thats a mistype. But maybe I'm wrong, idk. She could be any type, but ISTJ doesn't feel right to me I feel at least.

I agree, I noticed a lot of ISTJs being mistyped ESTJs now which is baffling and crazy to me, people forget how confident and assertive Te actually is even aux. I type Hermoine ISTJ. And I type Vegeta ISTJ, here you can see my post for him here:

Vegeta (ISTJ) - One of the Greatest ISTJs of all time, Dragon Ball Z MBTI Types

Also Vegeta is listed ISTJ here too as well on the DBZ MBTI Chart, everything is right here I feel for sure for the types of the characters except Videl is ENTJ and Android 16 is ISFJ in my opinion:

Here's my opinion on ISTJ Anime Characters here:

Btw after rereading the title, I think rather ENFPs and ESFPs are the most mistyped in the community, there the most mixed up types in MBTI after all. ISTJ and ESTJ are next though and then INFJ and ENFJ, INFP and ISFJ and so on.
