I (entj) went on a long roadtrip with my ISTJ friend. I gave him the manual to my car and he started showing me shit like where secret unlock buttons were on the trunk and started commenting on things I never noticed like how some interior lights were red and some were blue ??? Never change
I’m an (17F) infp and I just had my first boyfriend who is an istj. I’ve read that some of you guys have not truly been in love, and now I’m wondering if my ex ever had😭✌️so like what did you guys do when y’all were truly in love with someone? How do y’all act?
A smart ISTJ is capable of using Ti when needed as well as Te, they just don't prefer it over Te. And they are slight more adaptable and can acutally utilize their inferior Ne when necessary (when they realize they need some Ne brainstorming or other things). But I might be wrong. A ISTJ doesn't naturally live in the Ne space, instead they live in the Si space. But when Si doesn't work I think a smart one can shift to using their infeiror Ne. A smart ISTJ is more balanced. They are great with incremental change/innovation to existing systems. ISTJ may still be able to use Ne, not their first inclinnation.
A dumb one on the other hand have less ability to use their inferior Ne "properly" and their Te + Ti may be underdevloped, and they would often not be logical. They are also more rigid in their appraoch and lack the ability to shift.
But I might be wrong, this is waht I think.
Hi! Non-istj here, I want to understand this friend of mine.
I know the question may apply to other types as well. But I would just like to see if there's actually a pattern or if I'm just dealing with somebody who doesn't value me enough.
I recently communicated to this friend that I didn't feel reciprocated. She said sorry if I don't communicate well enough (along these lines) but still she continues to be the same. Actually there was some point in time that she was chatty to me but now she's not.
She gives really short replies, does not ask about me even if I ask about her, does not ask what can she do to convince me that she's actually still there even if she gave me reassurance thru chat, when I try to give a witty compliment to her she ignores it, I have to intentionally structure my chats so that it is easier for her to reply (for reference, I type myself as ENXP not sure yet with the F or T, probably more on F since people type me as INFP)
I think I made a bad choice trying to reconnect with her again. I just want to know at least if this is normal for you guys?? So I can either try to reframe my thinking or just let go of being her friend entirely by giving up on the conversation. I really want to believe you guys are good 🫶
I am a pretty hardwired ISTJ-T, and I have a boyfriend who is incredibly emotional and sensitive, where I am very logical and rational; we tend to clash a lot due to this, but we get over it. I often find myself speaking to him like a robot, or have been called Spock before as an affectionate joke because of my blunt eloquence.
I am always viewing things as problems to analyze and fix, and find the concept of love to be terrifying and foreign, however he always convinces me that I do love him and care, I just show it in different ways. But I always feel so insecure and that my overtly-logical Te mind refuses to view or feel this concept, as it feels it is a waste of time and a possible threat to my deeply-guarded sensitive Fi core.
Anyone else relate to this?
Since I’ve been a child( currently in my 40s), I’ve always had a fascination with the color blue. A chunk of my wardrobe is a shade or pattern that has a lot of blue. I collect tcg cards and just bought a grail of mine that has a lot of blue in it and the shiny just makes my day. Plus I love the character. I painted my last car blue.
Do any of yall have something that fascination of something specific? Like a color, an animal, etc that just makes you so happy at the sight of it? It can just calm you down. Some people collect that specific thing or them their room to something.
Each pill grants you a package of 3 distinct abilities sorted by tiers (T1 > T2 > T3$).You will be fighting Superman in a Death Arena that is about the size of a football field. You have no prep time.
*Each Use of Kryptonite Emission gives you a 5% chance of a fatal heart attack. The emitted kryptonite will nerf Superman for approximately 40 seconds.
The Catch for Each Pill:
Pill 1: Staying transformed for over 2 hours permanently overwrites your own mind with theirs. You have to constantly revert to yourself, meaning you can never permanently live a fake life
Pill 2: You must hold your breath to stay invisible. The exact millisecond you take even the tiniest inhale or exhale, you only have 5 seconds until you pop back into plain sight
Pill 3: Triggers an analog/thermal flash revealing your approximate location (100-150 meters off), and leaves you exposed to radiation. The more uses, the more your health begins to deteriorate.
Pill 4: Every jump causes physical exhaustion, requiring a short cooldown. Worse, there is a chance your quantum particles fail to realign, causing you to instantly blip out of existence and die. Your first teleport carries a 0.01% chance of death, and the risk increases by 0.05% with every subsequent use
Which Pill are you Taking?
There have been several experiences in my life that forced me to realize things don't work how I thought they did.
One example for me, is I thought the housing bubble popping in 2008 meant that prices would never go up again. Like beanie babies? I knew that was a bubble too...so that was my reference for a bubble popping. Turns out houses aren't beanie babies 🙈
Also, I bought the crock of lies we were sold about needing a college degree to be successful and that taking out student loans was an "investment" in yourself. Turns out it was just an investment in the worst Us job market of all time with a 7% interest, unrefinancable loan.
Do you have any examples like that?
I think it's a very istj thing because we're naturally aware of what "everybody thinks" and it's so easy for us to cling to conventional wisdom but, turns out, you can't see the water that you're swimming in and nothing is true in every context.

Rules: You are locked in a 1v1 survival match against an opponent who is actively trying to kill you. One person gets the Death Note (works the same way as in the manga/show), and the other gets the Life Note (heals/revives anyone in history of your choice at the cost of 1 year of your own life per use, granting total death immunity until your locked-in date). Only the Death Note Hunter can kill you (both physically or with the death note) and break that predetermined death date. You are completely immune to everything else. If the Life Note holder reaches their death date, then the Death Note Hunter wins by default. Whichever one you choose, the opposition will immediately be on a ruthless hunt for you. One must eliminate the other
Who do you choose to be?
I’m talking about that intense feeling you instantly get before even talking to the other person. And you know they feel the same.
Wondering how often it happens for everyone else. Because for me it’s pretty rare.
my mom is ISTJ, my dad ENFP (yes i know, complete opposites), and i'm isfj.
all my life, my household has been in constant anger and fighting, screaming and yelling every day because of my mom's anger and micromanaging.
i know it is because she has the need to have everything under control, otherwise something might go wrong?? not even sure.
my question to this community is how on earth can i get her to stop flipping out everyday due to the organization of the household? it's a mix of ocd traits and how she refuses to admit she's wrong about are the most bs things ever.
i need ways to communicate in ways an istj will understand because i really don't understand her lack of empathy, what are the best ways that get you guys to comprehend and take in other point of views?
any advice is greatly appreciated
ISTJs, how do you think you would feel if you unexpectedly found out you were going to have a child with someone you were not planning a future with?
Would your first instinct be to focus on responsibility and practical planning, withdraw to process it alone, or try to make the relationship work for the child?
And if there was someone else you deeply cared about and she cared for you (not the mother of your child), how would that affect the way you handled it?
This is very specific but did you ever see an ISTJ as a main character, especially a young one or teenager? I've seen a lot of ISXPs but not a lot of ISTJs
I figure since you guys have trickster Fe, then you’d have little to no theory of mind, right? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
