do LSIs/ISTjs have a tendency to ramble?
I don't know if this is a TiSe trait, but most of the people whom I've typed ISTj tend to ramble when lecturing on a topic or giving an explanation. They basically spurt out as much information as possible instead of highlighting the main points and putting the topic into context. A lot of my ISTj professors can go on and on and on about a particular subject, often repeating themselves in the process, without realizing that doing so can be boring for their listeners. An ISTj, in my opinion, is like an encyclopedia in terms of their information absorption and regurgitation. I love ISTjs, don't get me wrong, but this is something I've observed about them. What do you all think?

Wow, i have been wondering about this topic and what you have said here descibes what I have been observing in an ISTj perfectly. i think I know the type of person you are describing.
There is a person who I am currently working/studying with who I strongly believe to be an IS(T)j and he does ramble a whole lot. If I want specific information, I try to find someone else other than him to ask for it. Sometimes i sort of wish he would just say yes or no or provide a clear one sentence explanation and leave things at that. He likes to teach and really likes to share his knowledge, however, he seems unable to give you the main idea of anything and he takes a very long time to explain the simpliest things. I tend to end up just losing focus and getting bored and frustrated when he tries to explain anything. I previously thought that ISTjs were essentially to the point people but I am now not sure about this at all.
I find him rather lazy/sluggish too and he tends to inspect others work, give advice or share his past experiences related to the work rather than actually doing much himself. He absolutely loves inspecting things(often times doing this while walking around very slowly with his hands folded behind his back) and he seems to notice everything. However, like I said before, he is very willing to teach and share information and this is very admirable IMO.
