I am attracted to their being so well grounded, they make me feel safe....and they are one of the few that does not overstimulate me emotionally....

What makes you feel…
- Vulnerable: Not having a general/specific idea of what’s expected of me. I can’t relax if I’m not sitting in my allocated seat at the cinemas (humm that probably sounds weird to outsiders).
- Irritated: Manipulative people. Those who lie to me when I specifically request the truth. Passive-aggressive people. When I don’t have anything to focus on. When people take my reliability/need to complete a job for granted or manipulate it to their advantage.
- Content/Happy: When I’m exercising, watching character driven movies (so I can analyse and ‘feel’ the people…if that makes sense) and organising things and making them more appealing.
- Depressed: I can see my perfection being a double edged sword. Maybe not depressed but what’s a serious struggle for me is feeling like I can’t amend a situation for fear of hurting another person.
How others perceive you
- What compliments do you often receive? That I’m nice and polite (this is obviously going off first impressions…haha).
- What criticisms do you often receive? That I’m too quiet and although I haven’t heard it directly, I’m pretty sure people think I’m boring.
- What problems/obstacles do you often experience when you meet people? People think I'm aloof.
How you perceive yourself
- What are your best traits: My work ethic, loyalty and honesty. I also think ISTJs are very aware of their faults -- which is why I don’t understand why people think we’re arrogant.
- Worst are your worst traits: I was told that I’m judgemental. The thought that I force my beliefs on others devastates me. That I’m not as capable in social situations as I should be.
- Are you happy being an ISTJ or would you rather be another type? I don’t know. Sometimes I only think people value me for the way in which I apply myself to things.
Relations with others
- What quality do you need the most in a partner? Emotional stuff.
- Type of the person you’re the closest to: Betas of course =)
- Types you enjoy spending time with: Betas and some Alphas.
- What characteristics about yourself do you consciously hold back/manage? My need for control.
