Just that. I know that ISTJ is suppose to be in complete opposition to the ENFP and very different, obviously.. from INFP's, so there is a tremendous potential for misunderstanding... BUT
it has been my experience that everywhere I go, I collect ISTJ friends.
Not only do I collect them, they seem to be among a select few who do NOT take my flitting off to new pursuits, or making new friend groups, or just wanting to fall off the radar for a few months, personally AT ALL.
Infact, recently I realized that a handful of ISTJ's, despite our differences, seem to really appreciate my strengths (and I usually hold tremendous value in theirs as well.) I guess I never feel like I need to keep things fun and entertaining with ISTJs.. because it's not that quality they value.. it's always personal emotional conflicts and relationships. I guess it makes me feel kinda special and deeply pleased to know these somewhat critical perfectionists trust my judgement in these matters.
I've also noticed a plethora of them seeking me out the last few years, most of them hitting early to mid thirties.. and i wonder if that tertiary fi of theirs might have something to do with it.
Anyhow, what have your experiences been? I am curious (always haha)
