ISTJ (Introverted, Feeling, Thinking and Judging) - Doing their job with aplomb!

PERSONALITY TRAIT DESCRIPTION:

★ ISTJ types are serious, responsible and reasonable social stalwarts. They are trustworthy, they value commitment and for them words are solemn oaths.

ISTJ types are meticulous, practical, cerebral and realistic. They are highly focused, organized and precise. Whatever they do, they are quite organized and reliable. They have an unwavering, thoughtful mind and once they embark on what they believe to be the best course of action, it is difficult to shift or become frustrated.

★ ISTJ types are particularly quiet and studious, with a strong memory and judgment for details. They are able to cite accurate facts to support their opinions, applying past experiences to present decisions. They value and utilize logical, objective analysis, complete their work on time with persistence, and are always well organized and methodical. They value necessary theoretical systems and traditional practices and are impatient with those who do not do things that way.

★ ISTJ types are always traditional and careful. They listen and like to state things with certainty and clarity.ISTJs have a natural disinclination to show off and appear calm even in times of crisis. They always appear responsible and firm, but underneath their calm exterior, they may have strong but seldom expressed reactions.

※ Possible Blind Spots:

● A common problem with ISTJ types is the tendency to lose themselves in the details and day-to-day running of a program. Once immersed, they are stubborn and rigid, unwilling to adapt or accept another point of view. They tend to be skeptical if they don't see immediate and effective use of new ideas, and they must take the time to pay attention to the full range of objective things, consider alternative scenarios they may not have considered, gather a wider range of information, and make a conscious effort to make predictions about the future implications of their behavior to be able to enhance the impact of ISTJ types in every way.

● Sometimes ISTJ types have a hard time understanding the needs of others, especially those that are very different from their own. Because they are secretive about their repercussions, they are seen as calm and unemotional. They must express their appreciation for others directly, rather than just keeping it inside.

● Because ISTJ types are very organized, they expect others to be so. They risk imposing their judgment on others, ignoring the opinions of those who are not very confident. They force others to do things their way, preventing the application of methods that are more creative and novel. They should be open to untested and non-traditional approaches so that they can be more tolerant of people's differences and ultimately make effective choices.

* Functional Use

● Extraversion and introversion refer to the direction of our mental energy, and judgment and perception are two ways of doing things. Psychology calls them "attitudes". Feeling and intuition are the ways we get information, and thinking and feeling are the ways we make decisions, which psychology calls "functioning," and functioning is the essence, the core, of personality theory.

● Everyone uses all four functions, but has different preferences for their application. The first in the hierarchy is called the "dominant function", and the second is called the "auxiliary function". Everyone needs to use both processes.

*? Using Your Type Effectively: (ISTJ)

● ISTJ types have a dominant function (attention to detail) and a secondary function of thinking. They tend to:

Attention to detail, practicality, ability to remember trivial details, tolerance for tedious work, patience, carefulness and systematicity.

They are logical, analytical, objective, fair, logical, systematic, judgmental, and determined.

● ISTJs use their third and fourth functions - emotion and intuition - less often. Even when these functions are needed, they are not used effectively.

※ As an ISTJ:

● If you use the feeling function too much, you may lose the concept of the whole, not be able to think of possible solutions, not be intuitive, not be creative, not be able to cope with tasks that are too complex, and not like to predict the future.

● If you use the thinking function too much, you may forget to praise others when you need to, or ignore the impact of your decisions on others.

※? Problem Solving

● Everyone makes decisions in his or her own way, and decisions usually come from your dominant function and completely ignore your fourth function. Your functions are utilized as follows:

Dominant Function Feeling - Secondary Function Thinking - Third Function Emotion - Fourth Function Intuition

● Personality Each function is critical and important to problem solving, and neglecting any one of them will result in flawed decisions.The idealized flow of problem solving functions is as follows:

A good decision usually comes from the judicious use of all four functions. When you try to solve a problem, you can use the above table to guide the process, but the execution of the whole process is very difficult because everyone is reluctant to solve a problem with a function he doesn't like. Even if you make a conscious effort to use all of these functions, it is unlikely that you will use them in this order in "real life". The key is to use them to remind yourself and refine your decision-making, even if you don't act that way.

● It is important to choose positions at work that match your primary and secondary functions. The third function has to be developed and practiced before it can be used appropriately, and the fourth function may never play a key role in your career, so you should avoid the kind of job that requires its use over a long period of time.
