After all, the best way to maintain security is to have a plan for the future. The desire for security will cause ISTJs to appear more future oriented than most type descriptions indicate. They’ll probably be naturally good at money management as a result. ISTJs will be down to earth, level-headed, and prone to being conservative with their resources, because security (financial, physical, etc) is an Si dominant’s main drive. They may feel a strong connection to a past memory causing them to repeat the tradition, or they may simply repeat the past because the past was what worked. This is why they might be deemed tradition-oriented or the preservers of the past. Bad experiences may haunt them forever, or at least for a very long time. They can relive moments from their past that they have stored away, along with all the context surrounding those moments, good or bad. Since Si users have a strong connection to the past, those of this personality type will tend to remember how these things affected them, made them physically feel, and etc. Basically, ISTJs may approach a situation and notice details very similar to what they experienced in the past, but fail to realize the situation overall is not the same, even if many of the details are matching up. However, since ISTJs focus heavily on the details, they may miss the overall patterns, causing the ISTJ to misapply a lesson learned from a past situation. Dominant Si often gives its users very specific preferences.įor the ISTJ personality type, there is a heavy reliance on: ‘What has been done in the past? What was the result? How have I done this before? What happened the last time?’ They will strive to replicate the things that worked while simultaneously avoiding things that went badly. This will give them a focus on precision and consistency, wanting to carefully ensure that everything they do turns out exactly as desired down to the last detail. However, due to their focus on introverting the information their senses feed them, the ISTJ personality will be especially good at identifying when something is not meeting up to the original, whether that be a prior experience or procedure standard. Obviously no one can remember everything, and having a good memory is tied to factors beyond one’s personality type. ( Click here for a more in-depth description of Si.) Since those with the ISTJ personality type prioritize concrete information, it gives them a preference for remembering things in great detail, when they deem something worth remembering that is. Dominant Si allows ISTJs to store away a vast amount of sensory data as they experience life. The ISTJ personality type leads with Introverted Sensing (Si). 🙂 Dominant Function: Introverted Sensing (Si) With all that said, we hope you find this article useful for self-analysis or understanding the minds of others. These scenarios may be briefly mentioned in the article below, but this article is not specifically written with those scenarios in mind. Exceptions may occur when the ISTJ is stuck in an Si-Fi loop or in the grip of Ne. However, an ISTJ should relate to the underlying principle of each function, and most of what is described below. Ergo, it’s unlikely that an ISTJ will relate to or demonstrate every single quirk or trait mentioned below. Please realize, however, that everyone is unique, and the entire world cannot fit into 16 personality type boxes. Below we attempted to break down each cognitive function and practically explain how it will surface in an ISTJ.
The cognitive functions for the ISTJ personality type in order are Si-Te-Fi-Ne.
