Replaying over and over (especially as-is) is more S, and Si in particular. What you imagine is still in context about the 'real' situation that happened (other options or methods you could have used to engage that specific situation itself) as opposed to deriving symbolic meaning (not just general meaning or values) or projecting towards the future, so I would say S > N off this alone.
That makes sense to me.
If you want to go by stereotypes, pure routine is J, not S. What other parts do you not relate to about ISFJ?
I think it's everything I've read about them being very practical, grounded, and aware. I can relate to some of it, but I just feel like it's missing a lot for me. I'll c&p something I saw on a rando website and elaborate on it (I know they're stereotypes but might give an idea?)
– They are keenly aware of all the details around them. (I wouldn't say so, but I might be interpreting it wrong. I often miss what's right in front of my face, but I'll notice sounds and smells that I'm not expecting since I'm bothered a lot by them.)
– They are down-to-earth and outwardly matter-of-fact. (Half-half? I think I'm probably matter-of-fact, but I wouldn't say down to earth.)
– They absorb and place importance on proven facts, which they can recall swiftly. (Unsure. I don't trust a lot of "proven facts" unless it's really something that can't be disputed, but I think pretty much anything can be.)
– They tend to be hard-working and responsible. (Hard-working, yes, responsible, half-half. I'm only responsible when I don't want to hurt someone's feelings, or when I'll get into trouble if I'm not.)
– They have a respect for history and traditions. (Not really for traditions. I think I appreciate things more if they're a once-off, or a twice-off. I get bored and frustrated if things are the same theme all the time. I wouldn't say I have a respect for history.)
– They enjoy tried-and-true techniques. (Yes, if it's a tried-and-true technique that I've built that's efficient. I have so much trouble picking up on what other people have built. I feel like I need to see every step of the way of the creation of something to truly get it. Probably why I have so much trouble with all of this, haha.)
– They focus on what already exists and prefer to deal with concrete realities, facts, and examples. (Yes to the "concrete examples". Unsure on concrete facts.)
– They form future forecasts based on what they’ve learned through personal experience. (Unsure. Is this like moving a box or something because I can just tell someone is going to trip over it?)
– They thrive on routine and like to know what to expect. (I don't
thrive on routine. I have mini-routines in games where I'll do things in a certain way all the time for efficiency, but I don't think I do it in my real life. I'll just do what I want when I think of it.)
– They are very detail-oriented and attentive, but can be less aware of “the big pictureâ€. (I've always felt like I focused on the bigger picture more than anything. It annoys me when people get hung up on details, since I feel like my time is being wasted. But at the same time, I do think I pick up on inconsistencies well.
– They are very aware of inner body sensations like hunger or illness. (Yes.)
– They tend to be careful with money. (No, the very worst. If I want something, I'm going to get it even if I'm going into debt.)
– They are often described as “conservativeâ€, “practical†or “level-headedâ€. (No.)
