It’s not laziness. Sometimes you get tired of trying to convince non believers only to be ridiculed.
well said
Yes @Helen !
100% the amount of times I tried to convince people I know dangers and bad decisions I always end up saying" "I told you so" and it gets super annoying.
I'll second this
Your facts should be correct regardless, right?
Had a mature ISTJ as a boss.
An eagle-eye for the detail, an immense memory for financial figures in prior reporting. Wouldn't be happy with work unless it was verified. Stayed at work hours after everyone else left, almost every evening. Not the easiest person to have a chat with, but that didn't matter - he was bloody good at his job.
What kind of boss? Partial boss or a CEO?
😄
I NEVER wanted to be a boss to someone in my life. I have control over my own work. Not someone else's work.
@@rmipickenscongratulations
I was practically being called out for 27 minutes and 8 seconds straight.
Funny story from when I was a baby: My mom was worried that I couldn't talk because I was like 3 and never said anything, so she brought me to the doctor thinking there was something wrong with me. The doctor said "no, he is just lazy." My mom was confused and asked what did he mean, and he told her that she hadn't ever asked or gave me any opportunity to actually speak. He told her the next day to ask me what I wanted for breakfast instead of just making it. The next day she asked me what I wanted for breakfast and I walked to the fridge and said "i'll get the milk, I want fruit loops." She was like this asshole could talk this whole time!!!
that's a great story!
This is funny😂😂
Tughhh.. Thaaat haaappened.
... That was a good one though.
LOL
Interesting, my parents had exactly the same problem with my ISTJ sister.
Not lazy, not wasting my energy stopping stupid people from repeatedly doing stupid things. I will objectively watch n judge you from the comfort of my space
Butt hurt yikes
Stupid dumb and lazy? You’ve acquired an unhealthy issue with these types. I don’t know where’d you come up with such disrespectful-like rant?.somebody did a number on your ego .You shouldn’t blame the istjs of the world for your downfalls.
facts 😂
I am an intp, my mom and my friend are istjs
They are: good listeners, hard workers and honest people, and i appreciate them for being in my life
... I wanted to scream this wasn't accurate... But it is WAY TOO ACCURATE!
ISTJs are your best friend or your worst nightmare & too often underestimated
Intaglio Oglethorpe
Definitely underestimated. I know an ISTJ female who is very smart and capable, but her family and friends don't seem to notice and tend to give her the "less than" treatment even though she is often a couple of steps ahead of them.
You should replace "or" with " and/ or" lol
John Myatt breaks the flow of thought to code Boolean logic parameters, my point was pugilistic rather than veracity
My mother is an ISTJ and it has been a struggle in how to adapt her very restrictive ways.. (am INTJ)
@IntaglioOglethorpe you got me interested
my ISTJ friend was the only person capable of ending civilization 5 games on marathon on huge maps going all the way to the end while he procrastinate on his job, it was amusing to watch
Fuck you!
haha.. I can so see that
I've done it and destroyed all factions on mount and blade too.
I'm intj though.
It happens 😂 I dumped my career in IT (network engineer with various pricey degrees) so i could play World of Warcraft 5-6 days competitevely with 39 imaginary friends. It ended up leading me to a whole different kind of career, with decent money no less, but just saying..i fully admit of being capable of doing such things. I obsess over music production now. I feel like it's a decent job for "lazy" ISTJs.
laziness is a small part of it for me. However, sharing wisdom with those that are incapable of understanding and/or are not willing to listen is most draining for me mentally!
I agree with that, it indeeeeeed is mentally tiring
Oh wow! This is so refreshing to hear...I can totally relate to this.
Lol INFJ here currently struggling in a kitchen porter role with my ISTJ chef boss. He literally just talks at me all the knowledge and prior experience he has gathered (Si/Ti) but is a terrible listener, completely misunderstands what I’m saying and brushes off theory pretty much completely. Today he basically told me my life experience is nothing and he is above me because of that 😂😂😂 gotta love ISTJs.
And even though they piss me right off like no other type; they are still incredibly valuable and we need them I am aware of my biases Ofcourse I just fear that others definitely aren’t aware of theirs.
ISTJ here - and yes, I’m an accountant 😂 I grew up not liking math and wanting to be a historian. But my career path stumbled into accounting and I found I love it and am darn good at it.
And omg this is so me re: not following my warnings.
Same. When I was 14 I wanted to be a historian (Though I always liked math/logic). But just like you I became an accountant lol.
"Do not ignore the warnings of an istj!!!"
C.S. Joseph
True for me as well. I didn't get good grades in school and barely passed math. I took accounting in high school and passed with a 98% and finished the entire workbook for the semester in two weeks...
"Do not ignore the warnings of an ISTJ!"😂 😂😂
-C.S. Joseph
#TRUTH
Jerusha McBear
True it happened for me
I'm a amature istj my professor gave me a advice she is also istj
I didn't understand it that time but after 9 months now I realize it
[Laziness ruined my progress ]
"I told you so." How many times must I say this. ;)
Dee Lipscomb haha 😂 I JUST said this to my husband!!! 😂 haha
I just know that he's gonna get it one of these days!! 😂
A quick comment: As a high functioning ENFP married to an stubborn ISTJ and having only listened to his two videos on each, I was taken aback by the hash insights on some of the negative but extremely important insights into each type. Good Job. Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.
My ISTJ has been stuck in a rut for years after the death of her daughter. This explains a lot. "The comfort zone." being one.
Very complex relationship.
John Myatt hell yeah that is, holy smokes, well done sir
I have the same problem after being cut off from contact with my youngest daughter for my political beliefs. I can't move past it, because I can't fix it. Nothing is more irritating and hurtful to me than something just hanging there broken, unfixed and unfixable, unable to be brought to completion. I have a terrible time moving past sad events. My advice, don't shield your ISTJ from life. Don't do everything for her so she doesn't have to get out there.
@@LadyIarConnacht Sometimes when I emotionally accept that I cannot fix something, then I emotionally free up the situation to possibly heal in a surprising different direction. This direction might NOT be what I initially wanted, but it will be better than being emotionally stuck in an unfixable broken situation.
This video helped me understand why accepting futility can move me forward : czcams.com/video/GGorABGw418/video.html
My relationship with my mom is not deep like I would like it to be. However, after so much effort (on my part mostly) and almost no headway towards a deeper relationship, I reached a certain point of choosing to accept that our relationship was not going to get any deeper.
I am an ISTJ and one of the hardest things for me is accepting that I cannot fix a problem/situation in my life. The "rational mine" within me concludes that acceptance (not trying to fix the problem anymore) is the best way forward (practically and emotionally) if my realistic efforts cannot solve a problem. However, the "solver" in me still tries to come up with a NEW way to fix the problem. I will obsess and analyze ways to fix the problem, even though all attempts to fix it have failed so far. I will be stuck in this obviously futile process for quite awhile, thus causing harm to myself (emotional pain for a prolonged time period causes psychological trauma and damages the nervous system).
I use my rational mind to find acceptance. The key is to tell the "solver" within you to stop trying to solve this problem, and that stopping does not mean failure. Do not assign any negative personal judgement to the "failure" of not fixing the problem. Once I acknowledge that the particular problem cannot be fixed, I accept this reality without negatively judging myself. When I do this, I soon feel less emotional pain. Every so often I might fall backwards a little and get back into the trap of thinking about how to solve the problem. But once I remember my previous decision that acceptance was best with this particular problem, then I recommit to accepting the problem. Then I soon feel less emotional pain. Both non-acceptance and acceptance are extremely painful. However, the latter is less painful IMO. AND time helps; time to allow yourself to get to the point where acceptance is possible for you. And in time the acceptance becomes less painful and a place of healing.
@@CSJoseph
What are the best matches for this ISTJ thing sir please?
So you're saying that "Ok Mr. ISTJ", is the new "Ok Boomer".
Lol
I am an ISTJ. You are spot on. Very cool. I am a problem solver and a get shit done kinda girl. Nothing stops me. I believe that some of my previous experiences have shaped me into this personality type. Can't fix stupid. 😂
Im really too lazy to finish this
the guy i like for 3 years, i believe, is an ISTJ. hes good at so many things and i find him really amazing. he likes to stay low and hates standing out so his talents goes unnoticed unless someone actively engages with him and get to know him better. he does his absolute best to blend in until he becomes invisible in order to maintain and stay in his comfort zone. as much as i want to pursue him romantically, hes already happy and content with his hobbies and interests. he is very loyal to his long time friends but emotionally unavailable romantically wise
I'm an ENFP married to an ISTJ. This explains SO MUCH. I've never seen the bad advice demon come out in 9 years, but I have seen cynicism when I didn't listen to his warnings about a business partner. So fascinating. Thank you.
How is this relationship in your opinion?
Oh my....so accurate.
I felt like my elder brother was talking to me. Aaand i dont even have an elder brother.
Same!
LOL it feels like god is talking to me
Intp here....just studying....
Same!
Same
Same
Why?
Infp here... also studying... because I feel like it.
For me personally I have some knowledge in many subjects, but a lot of it wasn’t gained by any conscious choice to learn it. I just pick up on things very quickly and remember it. It’s different with things I’m personally interested in. I always seek to verify information, and if I haven’t done so then I don’t pretend to know for certain. I’ll happily share what I know but I’ll make it clear that I might be wrong. I have absolutely no patience for people who think they know something they clearly don’t.
Ser Ten of House Goodman well said sir
I relate to this a lot.
I'm really interested at the way Global Warming is going. There are heaps of 'experts' commenting on this. If I don't know them I search to verify their credentials. A movie comes out based on a 'true' story. I will search to verify if it is really true before I waste my time watching it. A Classic example was the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai" It most definaetly was NOT a true description in MANY ways. The bridge was bombed, about the only true thing in the movie were the names of people.
This is my approach as well💯
Just 9 minutes and I feel like I have been slapping in the face more than 10 times already. My lazy soul go crying in the corner right now.
yeah, same here : , (
Yeah I feel a little disrespected... sheesh.... duly noted.... I’ll remember that. 😑 ~ ISTJ
Trying to get unlazy 😭😭😭
I have three ISTJs in my life. They are all doers and anxious to serve. They take action on things just not the actions to change. Inferior Ne....
LMFAO that demon segment... now, I'm an ISTJ (most likely the mature version), and most people do not heed my warnings.
It used to make me feel betrayed, and as a result, I would detach emotionally from them.
Nowadays, I still become indifferent, but I don't take it personally. I don't think I've ever gone out of my way to harm them since their punishment was their misfortune.
I think the most important aspect of this is free will. I allow people to carve their own path because it is a primary expression of love. You should never seek to change what you claim to love.
oaky so, are you sure you are an ISTJ? that seemed really pragmatic to me, or are you supporting the pragmatic of others because it is your duty to do so?
I definitely am. In fact, we had an air conditioning issue recently. We’d have the thermostat set, but no cold air came out. Last year, we were told that we had a small leak; we were losing refrigerant. I had enough sense to measure the temperature of the HVAC, but not enough sense to investigate the problem fully. Turns out the condenser wasn’t even turning on. Why? It tripped the breaker at some point recently. Oh, and it has no leak. I was going off faulty information this whole time. Could have saved $125 but no - I’m an ISTJ.
@@ProJanitor
You still there bro?
KrimO what’s up?
INTP dropping in to say: Free will is an illusion.
I'm annoyed at the lack of istj talking about istj. I want to here it from another's perspective. For example, I'm not a clean freak, but I clean because I know its the right thing to do and for no other reason.
I'm an ISTJ, and I'm not a clean freak. However, I have "places" for everything. One of my friends described it best as "organized chaos". When I feel something has become unreasonably disorganized, disheveled, or unclean then I will clean. When I do though, I clean EVERYTHING. I take everything off each surface and wipe everything down and reorganize. However, this process tends to take an excessive amount of time so the lazy part of me puts it off lol
@@brittaney696 hmm maybe it's not cleanliness that's the main thing but a form of wanting structure for us. Maybe we feel when we clean or organize it results in more structure in our lives. Also sorry for the late reply haha
ENFP here. I MUST decorate that wall behind you!
I am an ISTP, and my boyfriend is an ISTJ.
He does love his video games, and although he is lazy, he is not a slob, he does things very efficiently, and is super clean. I on the other hand, I am very hyper and super messy. And any thought that I have that is not what is common he will immediately shut down, and say that I am crazy and asks me were I heard it or who said it. He is super socially awkward, while I hate being around people, I can say I can act very charming, and usually people like me. I do love that we dont have to talk to enjoy eachothers company. He hates change or inconvenience and freaks out if he has to change is schedule because of something going wrong. Which I do too but not to a crazy extent. I've taught him to loosen up and he teaches me how to be more focused.
I believe you are having some troubles from time to time, by troubles I mean clashes, is that right?
Well, that escalated quickly.

INFJ with ISTJ mom.. this is extremely accurate. As much time as I spend in my head her advice cuts straight through. It is wise to take heed. However, I also find joy in the fact that I can enlighten her on occasion.
Great content!
Just found out that my dad is an ISTJ. He is so full information and remembers so much. Since I can remember he has always used wisdom when gathering information, and I would say one of his main attributes is wisdom. Thanks for the video.
I am an ISTJ who is a clean freak at work but has a dumpster at home. But it is an ORGANISED dumpster. :D
It may look like just a random mess to you, but I designate specific stuff into designated places. This ice cream stick is where it is for a reason. This piece of tissue is where it is for a reason. DO. NOT. TOUCH. MY. THINGS. FOR. THERE. ARE. REASONS. WHY. I PUT. THEM. THERE. I'm just too lazy to take the trash out, but don't you dare try to "fix things for me".
It also took me 3 whole months to be confident enough to buy myself a hamster - NOT because I was studying about hamsters, but because I was not satisfied about the information available to me about how to raise mealworms (a kind of insect that hamsters LOVE to eat) the best way.
Now I am a mealworm expert. XDDDD
I am also a dog encyclopedia. I've never owned nor experienced handling a dog ever in my life (until then), yet I ranked 5th place out of 500 people in an actual dog training exam. If only I could've accomplished the down command a tad bit better, the examiners said that I would've ranked 3rd place. I achieved this level of excellence just by knowledge alone. Ha!
You sound like a fascinating human
Thanks for pointing out the laziness thing, it's comforting to me when I can identify a behavior as a trend among a population as opposed to unique to myself.
gosh, a lot of time is spent ranting on their laziness
I can be pretty lazy
Bc they need people to light a fire under their ass.
If there’s anything, ISTJs are NOT lazy-I think he got really derailed due to bias experience ?
- ENFP
First off, I don’t use Wikipedia lol.
Second, I was mistyped as an ISFJ, I think this happened because my mom is and ESFJ, so she really spurred my Te function into learning better social skills. So I learned a lot from her guidance and watching her over the years, especially how mixing charisma with professionalism helps move things along smoother. That and she helped me be more aware of others feelings. ISTJ kids are brutally honest, if we think you stink, we’ll announce it to the world (guess how I know). Because my mom helped me in the weaker functions early on I thought my actions were feeling based.
The question, “Do you address someone’s emotions first when they are upset, or do you try to solve the problem first?” I thought addressing their emotions was me saying “it’s going to be okay, let’s do *problem solving*”.
I mistook trying to pacify the situation in order to problem solve effectively as addressing their emotions. It took some reflecting on my childhood, my early teen years into current interactions to realize I didn’t have a abnormally strong Ti function for an ISFJ, but was a mistyped ISTJ. Understanding that made a huge difference in understanding myself and how to improve my weaker functions. Also, I’m pretty convinced my sister is and ENFP, because we rub each other the wrong way so much! It’s like having a cat that just wants to mind it own business but a dog keeps panting in its face. Do I love my sister? Yes, I’d be there in a heartbeat if she needed help, but our social interactions are better kept short otherwise we both get frustrated, as you put it when explaining ENFP and ISTJ relationships, “There’s a trail of fesses behind them because they annoy the crap out of each other.”
I’m pretty sure my bother is an IXTP type because we get along well, but our sister also rubs him the wrong way too.
Honestly though, once an ISTJ gets really comfortable with someone, we can be goofballs, but trying to pry us open like an oyster is shell only going to strengthen our resolve to remain shut. We’re genuine. I hate giving false pretenses about who I am. If I find something funny, I’ll laugh. If I like someone, I’ll smile. I wouldn’t force myself to laugh or smile because I view it as lying. I’d rather have someone not like me to my face, than have them smile at me and stab my back.
Your board is rather small. Consider an expansion.
ISTJ
J-e-e-z
Awww....we love our critical ISTJ's ;)
Boards fine
ISTP
No, it’s pretty terrible.
Same thoughts.
- another ISTJ
the most truthful and helpful istj video out there so far, coming from an istj, the truth hurts sometimes.
In what ways can we tap into our Ti?
To all ISTJ's, I have realized that I am an ISTJ instead of the rarer INTJ. I guess that is a common mistyping. Btw, as an ISTJ, having read Dr. Morgan Scott Peck's "The Road Less Traveled" made me more human.
As an ISTJ insurance agent, I feel like with clients my biggest struggle is trying to decide if telling people their beliefs and world views are stupid and going to kill us all will jeopardize me helping them. As someone with a huge moral compass and knowing a lot of agents take advantage of people, I want to make sure I actually help them as much as possible. And yes I get so pissed off when people don't do what is best for them.
ISTJ working toward a doctorate in nutrition- it is saturated fat, not sugar, that is contributing to heart disease. Those who have high intake of sat fat plus high intake of added sugars can lead to heart disease, but high added sugar intake without high sat fat intake does not. If we are calling out only one contributing factor, then it should be stated as saturated fat.
The past two years this man has taught me so much I feel as though its time for me to change career, definitely earnt a gold medal has he not ?
Mega appreciation for the mention of bogus cholesterol theory.
Also, you didn't say that ISTJ's aren't paranoid unlike INFJ's, INFP's, ENFJ's or ENFP's or need assurance from others on their self-worth because we don't need it.
It's 3am And I'm looking for answers. 🤦🏾♀️
I'm watching this one as an INFJ in my ISTJ superego lately. Trying to heal myself. Thank you, CS Joseph!!!
Infp here... also just studying....
This video was so funny, I loved the bluntness. 😄 I don’t think I’ve ever felt so called out as an ISTJ, yet simultaneously so inspired. I relate to pretty much all of your points. I do procrastinate a ton. And I have often felt like a hypocrite especially for not acting on my beliefs and what not. I think I’ve been getting better at being honest with myself and improving that though. But I always appreciate some tough love, so thanks for the video.
Also, I know you mentioned how scholarly we are, but I was just wondering how you view the ISTJ in terms of creativity. Have you encountered any particularly artistic ISTJ’s? I know others exist, but I think I’m the only one I know haha.
i have but their art was more like sketch or mimicry.
I am an ISTJ, and what you say sounds very accurate.
I am aware of social norms. I just don't care.
I'm an INFP that's in a very happy and healthy relationship with an ISTJ and we made plans to go on a diet. It's hilarious.
Can we get an infp compared to ISTJ video? Their functions are the same but stacked in a different order, so its actually hard to distinguish their differences
Hi I'm back a year later and I finally figured out that my friend is an istj, I knew they were a philosopher introvert but man I just couldn't seem to understand that he's direct. But he totally is, idk why I had such a hard time with that!
I'd like to hear this too. Istj and infp compatability
@@ameliadeshane9192 what kind of compatibility? They're not romantically compatible at all
Oh man, My husband is all about "WHAT DID THE EXPERTS SAY" IS HE AN EXPERT??" Lol. I burst out laughing at that part.
Man, your jokes are hilarious! They way you shift your convo from one topic to another. I can never do it even thou I mastered modeling ENTP
Great video, i am pretty sure that my invaluable friend is an ISTJ, he has taught me everything i know about dealing with the real world.
Awesome.
Oh my god, this is my brother. I finally found this man's type!
I've been going through so many types because of these damn quizzes but then Chase comes along with his easy ass type grid and simply smashes it out of the park.
The stupid quiz legit said my obviously ISTJ brother was an ESFP
Thank you for making these videos. Now I can watch in awe as I realize my brother (ISTJ), my mom (ENFP), and I (INFP) all have the same functions.
POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: Superman is an ISTJ. He shows many traits associated with the ISTJ in all of the relevant videos (including God Functions, Temples and such), most obviously when he is either being himself or when he's acting out his public persona. It's less obvious when he's actually being Superman because he's inhabiting his subconscious and unconscious minds for a lot of that time as well as his INFJ Angel Mode on occasion. It may not always fit perfectly, but the overall idea of Superman does, not to mention he would be easier to write and, therefore, better written if the writers used this type as a template.
I am aware that he is most often typed as an INFJ, and I do think that's an acceptable type to write him as, I simply think ISTJ is a better fit for the character in most cases.
Sheldon Cooper is the best example of an ISTJ.
Much like an ISTJ epitome.
I think he’s ISFJ. He’s the Hope (si) of humanity w/ his mastery of Morals (Fi) and Ethics (Fe). Most type him as INFJ because he’s a deep thinker. They just confuse Ne w/ Ni
@@supremegentleman4276 I associate "Hope" with Ne because hope is basically about believing in a better future, Si is more like Faith. Aside from that, I see your point.
@@heathvolk3410 yea, basically what I was trying to say. He maintains his faith (si) when everyone else has lost it. He’s the hope (Ne) of humanity when everyone else is in despair. Definitely either an ISTJ or ISFJ character. Same w/ Capt America.
Very interesting and unique take on this type. I relate a lot to some of the beginning stuff especially. I do also get stuck in lazy/comfy mode, but for me it's way more about social anxiety and financial worry than actual laziness. I am still very ambitious at heart but frankly, I do better as a wing-man or girl Friday, with somebody else "taking the risk." I'm a wonderful detail person, but not so great with big huge decisions and changes. There have been times when I have looked back, like that guy you know, and said, "Oh my God, I've been stuck here for 20 years." And that's the time when I usually do something radical to shake myself out of that rut. I do want to mention, I don't care at all about sources. You can often find better, more pure observations and logic from someone wholly untaught, even a child, than you can from someone trained to rely on peer reviewed sources. I categorically disagree with your idea that ISTJ go with the collective narrative. I see this trend everywhere among the general population but very little in ISTJ friends and family. To me, they are the opposite, working very hard to make sure they have the best collection of knowledge around. Like you said, they are walking encyclopedias/dictionaries.
He really just attacked me lol how does he know I’m so lazy
It’s obvious to everyone around you except you. And then it is part of your reputation. Only you can change that.
This went from educational to more of a rant with the simple change of tone in his voice
Never not rant.
Honestly I can relate to this so much 😂😂 But luckily now I'm not as lazy as I used to be
Awesome!
my best friend is an istj, I'm an isfj. she can be a good friend but also a really bad friend. sometimes she ignores me because she's just in "that mood" sometimes. i dislike her at the same time that I like her. she's an immature istj. you're describing her rn
Is she is being bad at times that doesn't mean she is tryna be mean, she is just not in good mood and trying to restrain herself
I'd like to see them compared to INTPs, they seem similar
Well my best friend and I are both INTPs, while our other friend is an ISTJ. From my point of view, the differences are really clear. The main one I'd say is that while INTPs come up with ideas, it is generally the ISTJs who will criticise these ideas (because INTPs focus more on possibilities and theory while ISTJs focus on facts and relevant information, this happens a lot) and in that aspect we work pretty well together. The ISTJ also brings the INTP 'down to earth' a lot, when maybe getting carried away with a theory or idea. INTPs are also much more oblivious to what is socially acceptable, and while INTPs are more awkward or cold towards people they are not used to, ISTJs are more timid or quiet. Obviously this will vary but that is what I find with my friends.
INTP's and ISTJ's are very mismatched in love, just try divorcing them when they go into demon mode.
I'd say a massive difference is the fact checking. INTPs never accept things to be true just because somebody or everyone says it is true and keep checking over the facts they already have. As an INTP I find the existing world and what people already know really boring for the most part, and it is only interesting when it links to new possibilities.
I'd say INTPs prioritise truth over knowledge and what could possibly be rather than what is.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I am an ISTJ and my brother is an INTP and we have total different views of the world and we always fight about who is right, and it's so draining...also we can't really speak about anything, really, as we don't like the same things and are both not interested in smalltalk.
"they could be those people that will follow you into the restroom and start talking to you while taking a dump" HAHAHA why is this trueee 😂😂😂
because not aware of the social rules.
I would NEVER do that! If you're just peeing, yes! Lol
Haha... OMG I HATE people like that. I hope I'm not like that...I really don't think I want to be ISTJ.
I think I'm an ISTJ but I'm never 100% sure.
I am constantly looking for various resources and objective proof so i can prove myself to be correct, but i have a on and off kind of attitude towards others where i can either come off to strongly critical, often sitting people down and going through various resources to prove them wrong or i sit back and let people be stupid if i don't "care enough". I never tell a person with questionable logic that they are right, but i can be bad for letting them think what they want and verifying things for my own sake and spreading that for humanity's sake.
With a lot of the critical without verifying stuff, I have experienced that with people i believed to be ISTJ. Especially Teachers and Professors.
What percentage of each 'letter; are you? I am about 75% for each 'letter' which makes me a full blown ISTJ. But the test results can range from 1% to 100%. But for some of the 'letters', you may be low percentage, say for 'T' you may be 5% on one test, but show up as 'F' on another test.
You sound like you are using Introverted thinking when I read what you wrote.
i feel so called out and slapped on the face lmfaooo
Not everyday I find a fellow mcr fan that's into mbti!
ISTJ can appear lazy because they're not being an activist for xyz cause, but most ISTJ adults have spent their lives trying to enlighten others or warn others around them who don't listen, ridicule them or dismiss them as conspiracy theorists. People also dismiss us because we don't keep up with trends, are socially awkward or have a lot of "followers" on social media since we're private people. We are exhausted from trying to expose certain facts. The ISTJ knows history so well that they recognize when sh*t is about to hit the fan, so they've said F everyone who didn't heed my warning, it's too late. And they're now in their bunker stockpiling and preparing for the worst. ISTJ is kind of like the GIVER in the book by Lois Lowry, holding all the experiences of the past, warning people in the present to prepare for possible outcomes in the future. Feeling separate from the general population who is too distracted by trends/norms to recognize nor prepare against imminent threats. It's important to note, that while ISTJs are "traditionalists/by the book" if they recognize something happening that is similar to a historical event or something they don't find logical even though it's a "law, company policy, order from an authority figure, etc." they will speak out against it because they want to warn others that if that law/policy is enforced, it will result in a negative outcome.
Very well said
This is my pastor.
ISTJ-The Walking Checklist Type
You can't tell how grateful I am seeing this video thank you!
Thanks for that reality sheck i need 2 stop procrastinating!
ISTJ but I just don't get the memory thing. I don't feel like I remember everything and I know I don't waste my time remembering useless information. So where is my memory?
Debbie, on what date was your grandma's birthday?
Good grief - Google, Wiki answered questions that I had asked when I was a child, it was bliss. My father was similar. Cut me off from reference books etc and I go into a fuge. When I have a complicated task, I clear the decks and am obsessive about completing the task at hand. I have no small talk, it is a handicap. Social events are painful, I go to them ,but can't wait to go home. Lazy just does not work for me. ISTJ was perfect for my job which I loved. Society is for me a total failure for me. History, Art , English Lit. and Science were favourite subjects. No sport for me at school, I would rather read a book. I Google everthing and then verify that.
man, I'm crying. thank you for this video
I don't understand why so many people are commenting about you being so harsh in this video. This is harsh? (INTJ)
This is my dad-in-law. My husband is an ENFP. The two prove that we have conflict with people of our subconscious type. I respect him for his near-constant cheerfulness, although it doesn't always seem genuine.
I can see the similarities and differences between us (I'm an INTJ). One of the differences that dismays me is that when he forms an opinion, he can't be swayed by facts or appeals to logic, morals, or emotion. I don't get that at all. I don't understand how anyone can be completely certain that he's perfectly correct about anything, but especially when he's so wrong. He's unrepentant and unbudgeable.
I've learned to walk away. I can't care more about his life than he does.
He's a good man, though. He's a great coach and cares a lot about everyone in his life. He's a good man.
I know exactly what your talking about with the ISTJ and their inflexible opinions,i dont know why they wont appeal to reasoning and it baffles me too.The only reasons I can think of is that they have not seen their way of life fail so they don't try to change it or improve it.I sometime see ISTJs that only learn by direct of failure of what they have been doing but usually they are high Te (meaning Te is being used almost as often as Si).
I'm ISTJ and constantly eating more than 3 eggs per day, yeah, I love ingesting cholesterol and hate sugar or carbs. Lol. My "database" so much improved by this information. Good job.
My father is ISTJ and I am ENTP. Love my father so much as he is the best critic of philosophies and metaphysics and will point out any kinks in my arguments. He is also an amazing cook, engineer, and is always willing to teach!
And he gives the best advice! And becomes infj super ego if I don’t follow it! Hahaha. What’s your fathers type?
ISTJ actually enjoys teaching and i find its the strangest thing.
Yes and its true ,they have an infj superego.
My dads type is istp.But I know alot of istj.
This guy seems pretty bitter. Did an ISTJ hurt you?
-ISTP
I criticize everyone.
@777Michele I found it very accurate. If you think this is bad you should watch him go off at INFP's xD
@Michele Nah man, this dude loves INFJs but boy should you hear him tear into them anyways.
He does that on every type video.
Its tough love lol
this is my dad!
I've been typed as istj and it's uncanny how many things people can get right about me based on that. There's things that are spot on like my encyclopedic memory and things that don't fit me as well like my lack of critical thought. Often sources are conflicted on things that they don't get quite right about me like lazyness and critic. Maybe it's because of life experience and circumstance. When I was a kid I often shared my vast knowledge and people would just wonder how is it I can remember all that. However often I would come across new more trustworthy information that would contradict what I told to others and I would feel really regretful. Because od that I worked really hard on being able to verify information throughtout my childhood and teenage years. Now, the lazyness does apply to me better but not perfectly. I've always seen my projects through to the end and on time and knowing that I try to avoid starting them. Maybe this is why I might sometimes hard working and sometimes not. Also, I've been working on my work ethic my college years and I've made progress but nothing amazing.
It's hard to tell if I'm mature or just blind to my blind spots when it comes to my weaknesses but maybe I'll figure that out once more information comes in.
I also loved, LOVED, the rant.
"They exist to stop everybody from being stupid!"
Basically Hank Hill's role in every King of the Hill episode.
I feel like this was an direct attack on me. I am big into video games. I stopped playing video games just long enough to finish school and land a good job. Now I'm back to being lazy and I'm ok with that. Lol
Same lol 😂
I want to know where this guy gets his source material from, not to verify it, but because I’d love to know what he knows without having to listen to him 😂 man he’s getting in the way of his own success because of his attitude
Not at all Brooklyn, people, such as yourself, are just thin skinned and can't help but take criticism personally. But if you mature, you will get the point without any of the insult.
-Cheers
@@orianna9200 He’s harsh.
Dr. Linda Berens, Dr. John Beebe. He mentions Dr. Stephen Montgomery a lot too.
I appreciate his attitude
Wow. This video helped me understand two male family members in my life. I am INTJ, and I am constantly challenged to bring first verifiable sources to them. But then they look back at me and spout off the sources of the masses. I could never understand why they frustrate me so. Thank you!!!
woow i feel like youve been following me all my life lmao. everything youve said is on point and relates to me 100%.
as for the critic ti part i only not very long ago realised that i have to start verifying the things i learn(this was before i knew about mbti
Mom is an ISTJ I always suspected but you confirmed it thanks
This video has got me thinking my dad is an istj. Hes lazy as hell but when he was at work he was good at what he did and would come home and just sit on the couch. I am an INFP with the same functions in different order and unfortunatlely his laziness rubbed off on me and now im trying to finally figure out how to become inspired and have taken cs joseph's advice and am reading a lot and researching things im interested in.
My dad has a really good memory like he remembers all the repairs he had to get done on all of his cars within the last 40 years. He beleives anything he hears on cable news that comes from his "side" (unfortunately) and as many times as ive tried to tell him the corprate media is b.s. he's too lazy to even consider. He is quite childish about his emotions which is the first thing that made me think he was an istj. If you give him any crap (which i do a lot) he gets very uncomfortable and at times iv'e gon too far and he literally turns into a hurt child in front of my face (at this point i stop, realizing i went too far). He's totally socially awkward and says cringy things from time to time. He loves to argue with people but is not nececarily good at it but he is confident that he knows all there is to know.
Unfortunately I make him sound immature but he's just one of those people that you say "he's alright" about. But does this description sound like an istj or am i wrong? Any advice on verifying whether my dad really is an istj?
DUDE I AM SO OBSESSIVE I LOVE YOU SIR!!!!! You are soo cool and knowledgeable THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
The victor only initially writes history. History is under constant revisionism.
I'm an ISTJ. Remember sensory details well, love being an archivist, am a walking encyclopedia and turning that into good use with my CZcams channel. Love history, love reading history books, I run a history channel even. I'm sentimental and romantic, but can also be cold and ruthless.
But I'm also in Pure Mathematics - the abstract, theoretical, logical kind and not the engineering stuff taught in high school. I read the recent scholarship on a lot of stuff - did you know excess fat isn't from excess calories per se but is from stress and metabolism? Exercise works because it changes the body's metabolism. I am very familiar with metaphysics and all those abstract stuff. I prefer viewing history through institutions than through mere dates and facts. Concrete reality makes me cynical.
Theories are just facts with caveats. The same way I bring up a fact to the needed situation, I apply the theory when it's the right framework to fit. I have problems with MBTI's foundations, but I can't deny it's somewhat effective.
And I play video games tons but I sure as heck know what's going on in the world now. And I've learned not only to question but to actively distrust the "experts" - scholarship always changes, and the one today won't hold for sure.
Theories are a are not always practical in real life. Learning always theoritically doesnt work.Practice makes perfect though.Im an ISTJ
INTJ here. I am a 52-year old female who works in Information Tech with a programmer ISTJ who is 60 and he is my best male buddy at work. My best female buddy is a mature ISFJ. I just love those two. The ISTJ cracks us up though. He is sharply-dressed and yet socially awkward and it's actually quite endearing and cute and somewhat childlike. He will provide us with some information and then follow it up with "ya know? ya know?" And he will keep coming back to "ya know?" until we agree that we do know. LOL
I would have to say that I am less socially awkward than he is. Funny story. Today on the way to and back from the bathroom I walked by his cubicle and both times he was just staring at his computer monitor, as if staring into space. On the way back, the 2nd pass, I chuckled and said "You gotta watch those things like a hawk, huh?" He laughed and said he was just thinking about such n such. He does that ALL the time though. I sometimes wondering what he's thinking about. It's almost as if he's an INT and staring off into space like I do. But he's def not an INTJ. It's funny.
I had to laugh out loud though when you said us INTJs are hopeless because it's true that we can be pretty oblivious in our own world BUT I have worked on this weakness for 25 years and I think I have pretty well-developed Fe now if I do say so myself. :-) I use to always be blindsided by people crying about something I said or did or being mad at me and I had no idea WHY??? or laughing at something I did because it was endearing. But I really worked on it and none of those things happen to me anymore. They haven't in at least 15 years or so. Yes, it has made my life SO MUCH better and I am pretty proud of that. :-)
these are so great! you're amazing for doing these thoroughly - can't wait for INTP
I showed this video to my istj sister - first thing she asked was "what are his credentials" - hilarious!
@@girlblogger3524 that's exactly what I asked
I get my worth as an ISTJ but being poor i wont trade my time working to help my family survive for hopes that i can unlikely change my country.
I say to people that no one ever landed on moon and no one believes me 😢😢😔😔
ISTJ's are probably those people who make guests remove their shoes in their homes; and either give them slippers to wear or go barefoot, and always use coasters whenever serving drinks to their company.
I'm going to assume that in this scenario I typed myself and my mother correctly (INTJ-ISTJ respectively).
If this is wrong, let me know!
The ISTJ seems very vulnerable in getting pressured into contracts.
The INTJ seems to not read the full contract and fine print too well, only the "seemingly relevant" information.
The ISTJ wants to sign the contract for the other, the INTJ wants to do it for themselves.
The ISTJ may later say "Oh I didn't really want to sign it, can I go back on it?".
The INTJ may later say "I didn't see this, it was a mistake. How can I get out of this?"
This is probably the most emotionally charged video of any type I've ever seen. It's no wonder many folks mistype themselves; nobody wants to be a constant target of aggressive pejoratives in these typology communities.
I can totally relate to this video i'm an ISTJ i'm 22 and i'm so lazy i did nothing with my life i never applied the knowledge i got,hell i made mistakes i could avoid,i'm so lazy i don't even have a bachelor's degree i don't have this degree that is so necessary and i stay at home playing video games
But ISTJs also "TAKE ACTION!" So quit griping and FIX YOURSELF! You're young yet 😉
My story is a lot worse and I'm working on myself now.
yeah but i don't know it's something wrong with my motivation i'm the kind of person who doesn't care enough to work hard with all the sweat,if i have to work too hard i have a tendancy to quit becouse how can i achieve this if i have to put so much effort?
don't give up
I'm glad I don't relate to this, I hate it when people say I'm an ISTJ. I don't care about references, but whether things make sense.
Same here. I don't care at all about sources and references, especially in an era where "authority" is given to the people that control the sources, and they change their minds on almost a yearly basis. You can often get more truth and better observations from somebody simply using their own logic, like a child or a person without formal education. The peer review system is completely corrupt.
The words "makes sense" are words to live by! As an ISTJ, the prevailing theme in life, at the moment is " Does it make sense?" If it doesn't, I sift through information until I have enough to reconcile everything in a way that makes sense. TO ME!
This was very helpful. You've provided some valuable insight regarding my fiancé's thought process that I didn't understand before. You've described EXACT scenarios that he and I have been in as an INFP/ISTJ couple that are pretty rough to work through sometimes.
You got me in the cholesterol part!
Great video. Can't find ISTJ videos that much, you're the only CZcamsr that went in-depth with us ISTJs.
Thank you for this.
Edit: History truly repeats itself. Here in the Philippines, everyone is doomed (yeah society fucked up) because the dictatorship, the extrajudicial killings, and the martial law that happened before is happening again today.
Edit(again, I agree with you so much that I can't stop): First impressions are really everything to me. The first day of school is always do or die for me.
Edit(again, you're so accurate): Can't agree more on the Ni Demon. I hate it when people don't listen to me and they fuck themselves up. INFJ Superego, I give people harsh and brutally honest advice, they'll cry but that's the truth. They prioritized their emotions and not the problem so now they fucked themselves up because they didn't listen.
Sorry, never felt more understood before this.
