[ISTJ] The Official ISTJ Fanclub Thread

[Ivy]

I just would love to know which of his posts were given infractions...I'm nosy that way...

You've made a couple of interesting assumptions there- 1) that you would necessarily see a post or thread that earned the poster an infraction, since they sometimes get deleted, and 2) that it's all about posts and threads anyway.

Well, I'll give you assumption Number 1, but I'm having trouble following assumption Number 2.

(I can't say I remember offensive signatures or avatars or things like that.)

Have you ever PMed anyone? (Not to say that's what happened in this instance, in fact it wasn't, but it's an example of a non-post non-thread thing that could get a person banned.)

Sona is a prime example of an ISTJ. They're oh-so-lovable.

>_o Was that... sarcasm?

This is a kind of positive thing about the ISTJ I know.

He's always someone who can cheer me up without even saying a word. Something about managing to turn up to a pub wearing t-shirts with holes ALL over and his knackered out old fashioned slippers, me looking at him quizzically and him replying "What?" like it's the normal thing to do and everyone else is odd.

Absolute gold!

Rebellion is doubly rebellious when the person doesn't even recognise that there is a rule to rebel against!!

I actually think Sona was some kind of SP. Too much button-pushing, not enough rule-following.

I was thinking some sort of NT.

No but seriously.

 

[The Ü™]

No but seriously.

Why not?

 

[Xander]

Why not?

The total lack of rational analysis and inability to spot patterns kinda hinted to me

 

[The Ü™]

I assume that rational analysis is something that an ISTJ would be good at.

That would be one reason I don't think he is one.

You say that because it appeared to be button-pushing to you, while I saw consistency. Just because the consistency offended your moral code doesn't mean it offended his. He wasn't pushing your buttons, he was just being what he is.

You say this because you didn't see everything that went on.

Depends upon what you see as rational really

The ISTJ I know tends to skip implications and ripple effects in his reasoning and hence his analysis is often very skewed towards what he wanted it to turn out like to begin with. I'm presuming that this is common, I could be wrong though.

I read Sona as an SP too. Something about all that flitting about from one thing to the next and the ability to almost twist himself double in his reasoning. No pattern to his steps, no rhythm. You know?

 

[The Ü™]

I saw in Sona a strong J preference; characteristically holding rigid and dogmatic viewpoints. He also exhibited contradictory logic and independent viewpoints, which could've suggested N. Sensors, and especially Sensing Thinkers, are better at not contradicting themselves, because they are more aware of such things.

Of course, there are cultural differences that must be taken into consideration here.

I saw in Sona a similar reaction to a strict religious upbringing that I've seen in other SPs. In his mind he sort of wants to stick to it, but he can't quite articulate why, and his behavior doesn't match his professed devotion. It's an attachment to cultural trappings (by habit for STPs, affection for SFPs) without the accompanying adherence. He professed rigid and dogmatic viewpoints but he didn't seem to follow through with them in reality.

Yeah, that's true. Judging by his posts, he seemed to also be a thrill seeker.

He's gone and you're still talking about him. I bet he's giggling somewhere.
