This person I know. I find them to be very odd.

I think he's a TJ. They are very organised and structured. Really structured. They often organise events for things in advance (this is in a youth group thing) and is prepared for everything. They are pedantic and value order and cleanliness and such, but it's extreme (this is getting to the weird part). They have an idealistic view of a world which I think is pretty similar to communism where everyone lives in identical houses with one other person where they can have two children and no more (they have to have them) and can only work in one industry their entire lives, but can go up and down in ranks depending on how good they do it. It has a class system but I don't remember exactly how it works. Basically, nobody has any freedom and they would live how he wants them to live. He is intelligent, has good organisational skills and is sometimes innovative with his ideas, but extremely set in his ways. He keeps many contacts but it seems to mostly be for organisational purposes and he clais a perfect holiday would be him on a cruise ship by himself. He is not particularly outgoing either so I think he is more likely introverted. He is very prejudicial. He is high class and has made comments showing disgust at homeless people and the like. I think he honestly believes women should have less rights than men, often treats them as inferior, though apparently doesn't believe in gender roles and enjoys things like cooking and apparently shopping (he has a lot of different shoes). He also believes that homosexuality is completely a choice and doesn't like it, feeling it to be unnatural. He also will continue to make his assertions and refuse to be wrong even in the face of empirical evidence against him and nothing but belief to back him up. He claims to be an atheist yet believes there is an afterlife, because he would like to believe so, in his own words. He has a phobia of germs.

I was thinking either ISTJ or INTJ. What do you think.

A lot of conflicting "shoulds" about the world... probably SJ.

Neither. I say ISFJ. Te would have a very hard time holding onto an idea after being shown evidence proving it to be false.

I would say it would have no problem. My bro is an Istj for sure and thats all he does.

May be a communication issue in your case. Te does not listen to logic. By evidence, I mean statistics, etc. TJs prefer inductive reasoning while TPs prefer deductive. I think you may be trying to convince him using methodology that would better be applied to a TP such as yourself.

Just a possibility.

Sherlock Holmes is weird in an awesome way. This guy is weird in a 'want to punch him in the face' way.

And that pretty much summarizes the difference between an INTJ and an ISTJ.

Can you honestly say Sherlock Holmes is not awesome?

And not everyone says he is an INTJ. Some people say he is an ISTP or INTP. I once heard he was ISTJ, because he was patriotic or something, but that was rubbish I think.

The literary Holmes is INTJ. There are other versions of him though, and I've heard that in the most recent film he was portrayed as ENTP.

Yeah, for that one he seemed ENTP or maybe even ISTP. He seemed far less structured and analytical and more of a typical hollywood hero.
