Certainly, if it isn't too much trouble
You're softer and have the accomodation qualities of Fe. You also invite connection with warmth and sharing of yourself. While an ISTJ can have strong Fi ethics, and even act "emo" sometimes, their depth of feeling is more guarded and they are more object/task focused than on accomodation and relating. For an ISTJ in an Si/Fi loop, connecting with or accomodating others may still matter, but seems secondary to their need to express themselves, their own personal idea of justice (I don't know if you ever knew this about JTG, but if he thinks things are unfair, he goes on personal crusades to undermine the people he sees as being offensive to his own sense of morality, and could frankly give a shit who it bothers, because the importance is his own intense ethical value system, his self-expression, and amusement...the other day on Personality Nation they removed some of his posts for something, so he went through and reported every post with a similar flaw, and they ended up apologizing to him and putting his posts back. His motives for what he's done on Type C are similar...and it is eerily reminisicent of some of the complaints some of the INTJs have had about Type C...tert Fi, man...he's also more "guarded" and shy about his feelings, and prefers to show affection by doing things for people and being loyal and stuff rather than saying affectionate things or more "warm" Fe ways of doing it...though he finds it extremely funny to mimic Fe ...)
So yeah...I don't know if that helps. Your Fe seems much more sincere to me. I could just see you as an ISFJ having a lot of Si/Ti precision, which could make you seem orderly and more T.
Neuroticism seems to common with some (but not all) of the SJs I know, myself included. Some of our routines we have an almost OCD like quality to them.
It just boggles me sometimes how it is that I seemed to somehow escape becoming as rigid as some other ISFJs I know, particularly the females. I just keep thinking, "What makes you so different from me? We have have similar value systems yet why is it that you and I can come to such vastly different conclusions?"
I dunno, maybe I have a stronger Ni than I give myself credit for, or perhaps a more influential inferior-Ne?
It's something I like to ponder on
Yeah everybody is different. In my case, I'm either more theoretical than some ESFPs or more "earthy" than a lot of ENFPs.
But when I say my ESFJ is neurotic, he's really got some issues. I think he's gotten a little better though. It's been years since we've broken up and I think he might be making some progress. I hope so for his sake.
