[ISTJ] The Official ISTJ Fanclub Thread

[usernameredacted]

Hmm... well, I don't know if this will help at all, or if it's even an ISTJ thing; but, alot of times, the main reason I don't share my thoughts is because I fear what people will think of them. I'm not sure if that's her problem or not. *shrugs*

That fact intrigues me. (seriously. lol)


As in, you're not sure about how they'll perceive you as a person after sharing that? or you're worried that it will affect their interaction with you? or you're insecure around some types?

plz expand.

Well, basically, you know how ISTJs get slightly picked on for talking about things that no one else finds interesting (or perhaps relates to)? Yeah, I guess you might could call it insecurity in my case. But, lilke I said, I don't know how much this pertains to other ISTJs.

So it's that you don't want to bore others?

I think ISTJs are fascinating (they're better one on one, though). Just find an INTJ

I think the type of people that find other people boring are the ones that sit around waiting for others to entertain them as if the sun rises and sets on their ass.

I only know one ISTJ well but the others I kinda know aren't bad. A little straitlaced and you have to do some cajoling to get them to try stuff they're unaccustomed to, but good, solid, reliable, and often underappreciated people.

 

[Recoleta]

Are ISTJs the ones that sometimes respond to what you are saying with silence and a tight little smile that you have no earthly idea how to interpret but you have a funny feeling you might not want to know?

Oh goodness...YES! I know I do that. It usually occurs when I am suffering through "small talk" conversations or if someone is talking my ear off about a topic that I either know nothing about or don't really care about. It's my way of trying to be polite on the outside (but on the inside I have an entire internal dialogue going on...and I'm kinda smiling at my own thoughts). :rolli: And no, you probably don't want to know what we're thinking. Don't take it personally though, it's just our (well, mine at least) way of amusement.

 

[Mempy]

Shit, I fell for it!

That's ok. I still *blows nose* like ISTJs.

Haha, jk. I encourage you to share your thoughts, Ransom.

I'm a lot like that, myself. It's something I try all the time not to do. Life is so much more liberating when you can just put yourself out there without worrying about what other people think of you. Who needs people's positive opinions? Heck no.

This is one of the biggest reasons my friend and I started hanging out; his awesomeness was partially derived form his weirdness.

 

[Natrushka]

Here is a place where the rest of you can compliment us and build are egos. Fellow ISTJs are welcome to join the fun too!!

I like you.

My ISTJ calls himself "Cliff Claven". He doesn't have a problem sharing his tidbits either. (oohhh that sounds naughty)

 

[Sona]

ISTJ are so cool because I am an ISTJ.

Enough said.

Thank you, come again.

 

[Xander]

Is Magnús Magnússon an official member?

 

[Totenkindly]

Thank you, come again.

It's too bad the same can't be said about you.

(You are the weakest link -- goodbye!)

My ISTJ calls himself "Cliff Claven".

Ha, that's about right. (I haven't thought much about Cheers for a long time.)

At least we know what you've been up to for the last ten days or so!

 

[Xander]

On a more on topic note..

I like ISTJs. I have a friend who's about 10 years my senior (and we never mention that honest

Anyhow I've learned that a nice peaceful ISTJ who's capable of laughing at themselves is a good laugh. Especially when you perfect the technique of saying "shh" just as they're about to answer yet another question not directed at them

It does seem though that whilst amongst a bunch of intuitives he feels lost and doubts his own intellect. Very difficult to get him to stop that habit but there again he rarely realises where his strengths lie. Something to do with TJs and that particular trait.

heeehheheheh

what constitutes banning, btw? can their IP still access the site to read it and he just can't post? can he theoretically make a new username and start fresh until the rest of us figure it out?

 

[GirlAmerica]

I have found as an INTJ, that the ISTJ is one of the very few people who can relate to much of me as an individual as a whole.
I feel very ying/yang with ISTJ's....they complete me.

I don't get it, his most recent posts weren't that offensive, so why did he get banned? He was proof that ISTJs were a lot of fun!

Oy!

 

[The Ü™]

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

Anyway, I think a good example of an ISTJ is Simon Pegg's character in Hot Fuzz.
