Journal Some Woman's Journal: ISTJ Pride! (Myers-Briggs Typeology) 54

Journal by Some Woman

Okay, I know this has been bandied about before, but I was just reminded today of how freaking many ISTJs there are in the world, myself and LP#2 included. We're going to take over the world. But the question is: are you with us or against us?

Take the test.

Edit: For the record, NTs make up less than 7% of the population, but many of you may be of the NT persuasion because it signifies rationality, and is very common in the IT/Science world. That doesn't make me irrational, just better. ;)

    In high school, a friend commented to me how I was good at finding peace and quiet in a loud environment. Yeah, you might be able to say that's just another way of making fun of me for being anti-social, but I guess I always considered it a compliment. I know him well enough to know he didn't mean it as an insult.

    I'm also the type of guy who, when put into a new social situation, would rather listen to others than immediately jump in and make

    And boy, does this page [typelogic.com] on typelogic.com get me right. As I read that page, I just nodded and said to myself, "Yep. Uh-huh. Yeah. Starting to feel that way at work. Yes. Right." Interesting company I keep, too: Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Queen Elizabeth II; not too sure about Queen "Bloody" Mary I, though.

    For the record, I'm just barely an S: 1%, according to the linked test. Which may be a good thing. According to typelogic.com, if I were an INFJ, I'd be in the company o

    My life has a consistent theme that can be broken down into three easy to follow steps:
    • Everything is methodical
    • Everything changes
    • Indifference is true evil.

    Most people don't agree, but it's gotten me this far so I think it's fairly stable.

  • Wow. I didn't realize there were so many other people like me here on Slashdot. Guess that explains something... :D

    I am such a perfectionist that I drive myself crazy on a regular basis. Half of me is arguing, "Just FINISH it!"... and the other half says "Yeah, but it's not right yet." Augh!!

      Just for comparison, the general population is only 25% introverts. It's not that suprising that there are so many on here, because there tend to be more in science and technology anyway. (Actually, the textbook I got this info out of is specific to IT, and it claims that 3/4 of IT people are introverts.)

    This Page [personalitypage.com] pretty well sums it up. It describes me to a 'T', me and the other 1% of the population who are INFJ's. Any others out there? I was kinda surprised that (even in this small /. sampling) no one else had chimed in yet with this type.

      Your description says you are rare. But we already knew that. :-)

      But, according to this [typelogic.com] our types are pretty close... I would have thought you were more outgoing, though. Maybe that's just on slashdot. Do you consider yourself introverted?

      • ... I would have thought you were more outgoing, though. Maybe that's just on slashdot. Do you consider yourself introverted?

        Introverted, no. Extroverted, no. How about Juxtaverted. I just try maintaining a balence between the two, and enjoying the myriad of grey area between the two extremes.

        • Juxtaverted.
          Nice word. ;-)

          Don't misunderstand, I love quiet time as much as the next person, but I really enjoy people.

        • Introverted/Extroverted isn't meant in the vernacular sense. It is quite possible to be an Introvert on the Briggs-Myers typology, yet extroverted in everyday life. The Introvert/Extrovert dichotomy is supposed to be how you "define" yourself (roughly speaking).

          An introvert will consult themselves before they consult another person, whereas an extrovert wouldn't. At least thats what I figure. But, I'm not a pop-psychologist.
