Overview : ISTJ (Introversion, Feeling, Thinking and Judging) ISTJ people are serious, responsible and reasonable social stalwarts. They are trustworthy, they value commitment, and for them, words are solemn oaths. ISTJ Type 2 people are meticulous, practical, very cerebral and realistic. They have strong concentration, organization and accuracy. No matter what they do, they are quite organized and reliable. They have an unswerving and thoughtful attitude. Thoughts, once they embark on what they believe to be the best course of action, are difficult to change or become frustrated. Characteristics: ISTJ people are particularly quiet and diligent, with strong memory and judgment for details. They are able to cite accurate facts to support their opinions and apply past experiences to current decisions. They value and utilize logical and objective analysis, are persistent in completing work on time, and are always organized and organized. Very organized. They value necessary theoretical systems and traditional practices, and are impatient with those who do not do things this way. ISTJ people are always very traditional and cautious. They listen and like to state things accurately and clearly. ISTJ type People who naturally do not like to show off, even in times of crisis, appear very calm. They always appear duty-bound and firm, but beneath their calm appearance, there may be strong but rarely revealed reactions. **Function Use **: Extroversion and introversion refer to the direction of our psychological energy. Judgment and perception are the two ways we do things. Psychology calls it “attitude”. Feeling and intuition are the ways we obtain information, and thinking and emotion are the ways we do things. The way of decision-making is called “function” in psychology, and function is the essence and core of personality theory. Everyone uses four functions, but their preference for the application of functions is different. The first one in the hierarchy is called The first is the “dominant function” and the second is the “auxiliary function.” Everyone needs to use both processes. Use your type effectively: ISTJs have the dominant function (paying attention to details) and the auxiliary function Thinking. They tend to: pay attention to details, value reality, be able to remember trivial details, endure boring work, be patient, careful and systematic. Logical, good at analysis, objective, fair, logical and systematic thinking, and detailed Judgment and determination. People with the ISTJ type make less use of their third and fourth functions—emotion and intuition. Even when these functions are needed, they still cannot use them effectively.
As an ISTJ type person: If you use the sensory function too much, you may lose the overall concept and idea. Do not think of various possible solutions, do not rely on intuition, do not seek innovation, cannot cope with work that is too complex, and do not like to predict the future. If you use your 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 their own way, often from your dominant function and completely ignoring your fourth function. Your functions are used as follows: - Dominant function feeling - Auxiliary function thinking - Tertiary function emotion - Fourth function intuition A good decision usually comes from the reasonable use of the four functions. When you try to solve the problem, you can use the above table to guide the process, but the entire execution process is very difficult because everyone is unwilling to solve the problem with features he does not like. Even if you made a conscious effort to use all of these features, you would never use them in this order in “real life.” The key is to use them to remind yourself to improve your decisions, even if you don’t act that way. It is very important to choose a position at work that matches your dominant and auxiliary functions. The tertiary function needs to be developed and exercised before it can be used appropriately. The fourth function may never play a key role in your career, so you should avoid jobs that require its long-term use. Blind Spot: A common problem with ISTJs is the tendency to lose themselves in the details of planning and day-to-day operations. Once immersed in it, they are stubborn and rigid, unwilling to adapt or accept other perspectives. They tend to become skeptical if they do not see a direct and effective application of new ideas. They must take the time to pay attention to all objective matters, consider alternative situations that they may not have considered, gather a wider range of information, and make a conscious effort. Predicting the future implications of their actions can enhance the influence of ISTJs in all aspects. Sometimes ISTJs have difficulty understanding the needs of others, especially those that are very different from their own. Because they are secretive about their reactions, they are seen as calm and ruthless. They must express their appreciation for others directly and not just keep it internally. Because ISTJs are very organized, they expect others to be the same. They risk imposing their judgment on others and ignore the opinions of those who are less confident. They force others to do things their way and prevent the use of more creative and novel methods. They should be open to untested and unconventional approaches so that they can be more tolerant of people’s differences and ultimately be able to make effective choices.

About love Best romantic partners are perfectionists If you are a civil servant type, you are the glue that holds the fragments of civilization together. Your trademarks are Task, Discipline, Responsibility and Organization. Without your loyal efforts, many existing successful businesses, organizations, and groups would fall to pieces. When you are in love, you are one of the most pragmatic of all love types, and you are not too moved by excessive romantic gestures. You also don’t need the constant stimulation of a date. You’ll be content with a dinner at home, a funny movie, and the company of your loved one. When it comes to the positioning of male and female roles, your values are also very traditional. You still believe that a husband should be the breadwinner and a wife should be responsible for maintaining a clean and organized home. Your strong need for security causes you to avoid the risks of starting a relationship. You’ll usually develop a romance with someone you’ve known for a long time: a co-worker, a family friend, or a classmate. Because you are the ultimate “nest builder,” you want to be very sure that your future partner is someone who can take care of you and provide for your family before you let him or her get closer to you. The qualities you want in your partner are loyalty, security and responsibility. You won’t be particularly moved by your partner’s suggestions for the future or lofty ideals; you’ll want to know what they can bring to a serious relationship now.
You will have a good relationship with a female civil servant or caregiver type (ISFJ). The female civil servant type has a disciplined and often responsible personality, which can perfectly complement your desire for a traditional family. The caregiver type is a woman who helps you build the family of your dreams with her loving way and “standard mother” personality. Civil servants are often attracted to activities, organizations, or places that have tasks, jobs, and responsibilities. You can try joining community groups that keep the neighborhood clean and orderly, charity fundraising groups, PTA meetings, patriotic organizations, professionally related groups, government agencies, bowling clubs, business councils, and military special events such as Air Force shows and parades. etc. (Civil servant types are often outstanding military personnel because they are very loyal, hard-working, and willing to cooperate with orders.) *How to date a civil servant lover? * Make them feel needed or work with them on a worthy goal so you have a high-sounding reason to get to know them. Go to the library and chat with the cute librarian while he helps you log in the books you checked out. Go to a parent-teacher association meeting—where there are usually a few single parents—and ask civil servants about the child education issues that interest them most. You can volunteer at a political event or attend a Good Neighbor Project vigil, and you’ll meet many dedicated public servants with a high sense of mission. You might ask a civil servant about a very practical question—how to plan or organize your home? How do you fix something? How to take care of children? Or how to fill out the form? This very responsible civil servant type will be willing to help you. Once a civil servant type agrees to help you, that’s a great start. One of the love tips: Emphasize the traditional aspects of your personality, for example: Men: Talk about your career ambitions, how much money you can make for your family, and what kind of home you want to have in the future. Express your desire to be a first-rate father and to build a safe, prosperous family. Women: Emphasize your home life skills or abilities, such as cooking, cleaning, and sewing. If you don’t have any experience doing housework, now is the time to read a book or take a course. Talk about your expectations for children, security and tradition. Note: The male civil servant type is not suitable for every woman, but if you are prepared to embrace some old-fashioned values, his stable, conservative concept of family life will be very attractive to you. Love Tip No. 2: Cater to the civil servant’s desire for punctuality, neatness and organization. When you’re dating a civil servant, always remember to be on time; to him, wasting time is just as bad as wasting food. Always keep things neat and tidy when you are around him to leave a good impression on the tidy civil servant type. Also, if you plan to invite your civil servant lover home, make sure your house is clean and tidy. Love tips No. 3: Help your civil servant lover clean your place or ask him to help you clean your place. If you really want to capture your Civil Servant’s heart, you could offer to help him clean his place in order to appeal to his desire for neatness and order. You can also ask a civil servant to help you clean and organize your place. If the other person agrees, prepare some snacks and music to make the day a pleasant one. Warning: Make sure your place is reasonably tidy when that civil servant arrives with a mop, vacuum, and rags. Even though he’s here to help you organize your place, he doesn’t want to see a real mess. Once your house meets the criteria (from your point of view), you can invite the other person over. Let your civil servant have free rein as he uses his amazing cleaning skills to transform your house into a standard of tidiness that is unattainable for the average person. *How to have a good sexual relationship with a civil servant lover? * A typical sexual relationship with a civil servant is slow going. Don’t expect an immediate spark with a Civil Service lover; he is the most reserved of all love types when it comes to sex and love. Sex tip: Start by introducing a new position or technique in a casual conversation. As you chat, emphasize how the new skill will enhance your relationship and bring you two closer together. Then stay quiet and let your civil servant digest what you just said. As an introverted rationalist, the Servant needs time to consider the new information he acquires. Sex tip: Create a sex schedule. To help your civil servant feel safe about new sexual activities, create a sex schedule. While some relationship types find this planned approach disappointing, many office-bearers feel comfortable and safe if they know exactly what their partner expects (and when). Love status: This is the most pragmatic of all love types. You don’t need the constant excitement of dating, and you won’t be too moved by overly exaggerated romantic gestures. You’ll be content with a dinner at home, a walk, or the company of a loved one. You also have very traditional views on the division of gender roles. You believe that the husband should earn money to support the family, and the wife should be responsible for housework and keeping the home clean and orderly. You generally do not fall in love with the opposite sex at first sight. You are a long-lasting love type. You usually develop relationships with people you have known for a long time, such as classmates, colleagues, friends, etc. You attach great importance to your partner’s loyalty, security and sense of responsibility, and usually determine the relationship after examining these aspects of the other party. You may be less interested in the lofty ideals and grand goals your partner has planned and more interested in what they can do for the relationship now.
