Hi everyone! I have suddenly realised, after assuming I was an NF for a long time, that perhaps I am actually an ISTJ who has just spent a long time in practical and spiritual responsibility for other people and so has assumed myself to be more spiritually aware than an 'S', and more caring than a 'T' and therefore ruled that possibility out. However, I've never really felt akin to any particular NF, and have felt frustrated at not being able to 'fit' into this system, which seems to work so well for others. I am also pretty sure I'm not an SF type, as I'm really not a traditionally 'caring' type who fits naturally into domestic/nurturing roles, which these folks seem to be, and I'm pretty sure I'm not an NT either as I'm not at all strategic. SO, that leaves ST, and since my 'interaction style' is IJ rather than EJ or IP or EP, I'm thinking ... maybe ISTJ???? Are there any of you out there that might know some questions to ask me to make sure??
Here are some of the characteristics I have that fit:
-dependable and loyal to a fault
-likes long standing truth
-likes history and science
-not interested in fantasy or impractical/irrelevant ideas
-irritated by delays and interruptions
-factual and enjoys reading information type books
-controlling on the inside
-like to work alone
-like routine and a plan to work to
Here are some of the characteristics I have that don't fit:
-philosophical
-emotional, love music
-intellectual, good at understanding theories and tying things together
-explorative, enjoy new places, things, and people
-like parties, eating drinking and making merry
What do you think?
Any help GREATLY appreciated
