The most extreme stress behavior for the ISTJ will be typified by catasrophizing, demonstrating impulsive and spontaneous behavior and struggling with the detailed reality of the moment.

The Inferior psychological function of the ISTJ (Intuition) has been activated in the most negative of circumstances and is trying to solve the crisis. Of course, the prospects of inferior and extraverted Intuition working here are practically nil!

The ISTJ may be experienced at this point by others as:

* Intensely angry
* Rigid in what they are doing
* Very outwardly critical
* Unbelievably pessimistic and negative in a global way
* Embrace fear of the future

I then wondered is ISTJ stress uncharacteristically emotional if so why, if not why not?

* Intensely angry
* Rigid in what they are doing
* Very outwardly critical
* Unbelievably pessimistic and negative in a global way
* Embrace fear of the future

I can't recall ever getting intensely angry, but the rest seem true enough. For example, if I hit a rough patch in a college course and get a little panicky... I tend to really hyperfocus on that course. I will switch from studying a little bit each day to studying for HOURS upon HOURS, even neglecting sleep to study. And over-studying can be just as bad as under-studying. I do tend to get very pessimistic and convince myself I'm going to fail the course. I get very critical of myself, and often get into situations where I tell myself I'm just too dumb to do it. I've done that in several courses, which I ultimately ended up with an A in...

Oddly enough, I can't really think of anything Ive gotten emotional about other than academics at the moment... So thats the only thing I can cite examples from.

* Embrace fear of the future

I've always tried to keep my stress level to a minimum, but i'd say that this is fairly accurate concerning what happens to me when i'm stressed out. The anger is especially bad--breaking things, picking fights, that whole thing. That last bit about fear of the future isn't all that accurate for me, though. As far as i'm concerned, whatever could happen in the future can't be any worse than what is happening to me right now, so i'll just deal with it as it comes.

I had a slight misunderstanding with an ISTJ girl once and I was so black listed!

I don't believe in blacklisting people, even when i'm extremely stressed. I've always held the belief that anything can be fixed, including broken interpersonal relationships. Therefore, cutting people off is one of the most childish anyone could ever do. Some people find it so easy to do it, but I don't think I could even if I wanted to because the concept is just so foreign to me.

* Embrace fear of the future

I just read this point over again, and what stuck out to me is something I sometimes don't even notice: it isn't so much a fear of external future events, but moreso of the implications of my actions. I can never really tell how people will respond to my words and behaviors, so in the interest of not saying or doing anything stupid, i'll simply cut myself off from people until whatever i'm dealing with is resolved. I'm thinking this has nothing to do with Ne, though, and is more of an Fe issue?
