Any ISTJ's

Post Reply New Topic

ISTJ (introverted sensing thinking judging) is one of the sixteen personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. ISTJs are one of the most common types, making up an estimated 13% of the population.
ISTJs are clear-sighted, logical, and efficient. They are planners rather than spontaneous, and prefer order and routine in their work and home lives. They value tradition, hierarchy, and clarity of purpose.

I remember getting ISTJ out of the Myers-Briggs test back when I did it for the first time. Second time around, I got INFJ. I do recognize traits of both personalities in myself, but I'm not sure which one I lean towards more.

Judging by other threads, INTJ & INTP are the most common personality types among people on this forum, followed by INFJ, INFP & ISTJ.

Myself, I'm INTP.

I've taken multiple tests at different points in my life & I also read the description of people with different personality types. I am an ISTJ, strong I & strong J

According to the Myers & Briggs test, I'm ISTP-t, but I think the Myers & Briggs test assumes an NT neurology, and gets confused by those with ASD.

I'm think that I am extroverted, but any test that I do tells me I'm introverted.

I think this is the case because I do, in fact, enjoy being around people quite a bit under the right circumstances, and can even draw energy from this. If we're doing something like playing organised games rather than making small talk, I can do that for hours on end and come out of it feeling great.

On the other hand, if it's a party situation where I'm expected to make casual conversion with random people, I'll probably find myself standing by the snacks table the whole time being bored, and really wishing I didn't have to be there.

I like being around people and can draw energy from it, but because of ASD, I lack the skills to do it the way one is expected to as an adult, and as a result, I tend to come out of all these tests looking like an introvert.

I'm thinking there may be other elements of these tests that would get confused by neurodiverse people too.
