ISTJ
You’re sys­tem­at­ic, thor­ough, painstak­ing, and hardworking…You get the job done and com­plete it on time…you are seri­ous and sin­cere in what­ev­er you do…you work well with­in a structure…follow the hierarchy…and are par­tic­u­lar­ly strong and care­ful in keep­ing track of facts and details…

Cautious…generally seek­ing to main­tain the sta­tus quo…you are at your best get­ting things to the right place at the right time…

Seri­ous, respon­si­ble, and sen­si­ble stal­warts of society…are trust­wor­thy and hon­or your commitments…your word is your solemn vow. Prac­ti­cal and real­is­tic, you have great pow­ers of concentration…hard to dis­tract once you have embarked what you believe is the best course of action…

You like to apply past expe­ri­ence to present decisions…you can cite accu­rate evi­dence to sup­port your views…you’re down to earth and seek to do the right thing at the appro­pri­ate time…you find it hard to under­stand peo­ple who start an edu­ca­tion but don’t fin­ish it…

You are dili­gent and per­se­ver­ing in your efforts…whether it be school, work, or love…A half-fin­ished job is not a job well done…you prob­a­bly believe in “Say what you mean and mean what you say.” Pri­vate by nature, you appear calm in moments of crisis…

You believe in work before pleasure…(gee, like post­ing before play­ing the online games on Storm Palace?)…while you don’t SEEK lead­er­ship posi­tions, you might find your­self in one…you build a rep­u­ta­tion for reli­able, sta­ble, and con­sis­tent performance…

You like to schedule…even your LEISURE time! It helps to you if it has a pur­pose, even if that pur­pose is sociability…to you, love means big­time com­mit­ment, steadi­ness, and consistency…you behave appro­pri­ate­ly for what the sit­u­a­tion demands (for exam­ple, roman­tic in the begin­ning, and so on)…

When you give your word and are ready to set­tle down, you fol­low-through… you expect your part­ners to act in a sim­i­lar manner…you may stay in a poor rela­tion­ship because of a sense of duty…you might have strong but unspo­ken reac­tions under that cool facade…

Log­i­cal and analytical…quick to point out flaws in oth­er people…when you feel scorned in a rela­tion­ship, you may not let your part­ner know it..when it’s obvi­ous that the rela­tion­ship is real­ly over, end­ing it is just the prac­ti­cal thing to do…

Things to look out for: you could immerse your­self in details…you could become rigid in your ways and be thought of as inflexible…don’t for­get to com­pli­ment peo­ple and be so con­cerned with get­ting the job done…you might over­look the long-range impli­ca­tions of your actions today…don’t get stuck in a rut…recognize your emo­tions, and the val­ues they represent…others might see you as insensitive…

Also, you’re skep­ti­cal of new ideas you don’t see imme­di­ate and prac­ti­cal appli­ca­tions for…you may impose judg­ments on others…expect oth­ers to be the way YOU’d be…become more tol­er­ant of dif­fer­ence between people.
