Hello people of TypologyCentral. I really need some help typing my boyfriend of 8 months, especially since he refuses to take the test himself. It would make things much easier since I have a tendency to analyze everything I possibly can and knowing his type would probably answer some important questions. I will never get him to fill out one of those type surveys either so this is solely based on my observation. I am pretty sure that he is either ISFP, ISTP, or ISTJ if that helps at all.
-He really likes to fix/build things. He reassembled my old computer to get it running again, built his own computer with parts he ordered online, and works on his car every chance he gets. Most of his jobs have been in factories. I think he eventually wants to do cyber security or something like that.
-He doesn't let things slide, even if they're small mistakes. If he orders something online and an unimportant piece is left out, he makes it known and does not relent until the mistake is corrected. If a business is unfair to him, he almost always reports them.
-He is prone to subtle manipulation, especially when it comes to money. Before we started dating he was scammed by this girl on the internet. He was scammed once into not only renting a ridiculously expensive car but letting the guy pocket extra. Of course, he reported them the next day and everything worked out, but still. I hate being the stereotypical "pragmatic female" when he wants to splurge, but I know manipulation and scamming when I see it and he sometimes doesn't until it's too late.
-He has very strong opinions and never hesitates to call someone out for being malicious or unfair. He is very confident about his debating ability and can read people well.
-He told me that he was an a-hole in middle school and high school and that he made fun of people a lot for the sake of entertainment. He is much nicer now, but he doesn't like censoring his thoughts when he sees someone that he thinks looks/acts weird. He makes occasional comments like "what a f***ing weirdo" and "omg that guy is huge."
-He was also apparently very emotional and sensitive in his teenage years. He showed me some of his old pics and videos and it's clear that he used to be a hopeless romantic. After having his heart broken twice, he is now very cynical and dislikes anything romantic/sappy.
-Another major change in his character: he was once very outgoing and semi-popular, but is now extremely introverted. He only ever talks to me and his cousin that he grew up with. He told me he doesn't like having friends.
-He really hates being told what to do or pressured/rushed. It stresses him out to the point of not being able to get anything done. This is definitely not a criticism (I'm the exact same way) but just a fact.
-On the somewhat rare occasion that we fight, it's about cleaning and organization. He is very organized and I'm sort of scatterbrained in this regard. I forget to do things like clean up and it really bothers him. This is why I think he might be a J.
