That's right. This is a brag thread. Talk about all the things you enjoy/admire/like/respect about ISTjs here. Anecdotes are welcome, as well as what you admire/enjoy/like/respect about the type in general. Ready? Set. GO!

They're really perserverant in whatever they do, which is better than whatever I do.
Also, when they argue, they exude the sense that they know that they are right, which makes them fight to the dead for their principles.
But, both ISTj's are kind of self-centered, and are very reserved people. I couldn't consider them sociable people, but that helps with academic pursuits for sure.

Well would you mind standing by it in another thread?
These things are supposed to be up-beat not negative...
not that I'm going to monitor what anybody else says...
only what you say
because I can
you should take that as a compliment
it means I'm comfortable enough with you to talk to you like that
They help me with money matters. I suck at em.
Thanks for the big brother behavior. =)
Anyway, in the ISTj's eyes, this self-centerness is a good thing. I've called them out on it, and they are quite proud that they consider their lot only.
So if you think about it, I'm bragging about the ISTj.

lol no police.
The ISTj's (I know) don't want to become anything like that for some odd reason, though they have no clue what they want to do.

No I could follow it, I meant more like which type in particular knows what they want to do with their life.
this must be why they pair with a mentor, ay?
p.s. i had a great accountant/controller at a major company who was a female istj and she was no bullshit get shit done and i would hire them for anything. great eye for detail and i enjoy putting confusing situations into context for them...the only problem with them is when they think they're truly in the dominant position...then they become headstrong destructive asses.

theyre fucking hot.
i value the serious expression of face and sullen eyes and arched eye brows of the serious perosonality type. even sort of fetishizing it.

Not for you, girl so aware of him, not for your mouth

This is the thread for appreciation of the iron-clad stoicism, brutal badassery, spine-tingling moments of insane bravery in the face of death/mulitation, and sheer balls of LSIs in fantasy, fiction, movies, etc
My first example: Captain Mifune from The MatrixTrilogy. Captain Mifune is the leader of an armed unit defending Zion in the last defense against the machines. Captain Mifune not only delivers a ridiculously badass inspirational speech before sending his troops out to defend the last remnant of the human race, but, in addition, kills over fiften bajillion sentinals when left completely on his own to defend the bridge so that the heros of the movie can make it back into Zion, and, although he is killed before the Hammer reaches the gate, he fights as the last man standing and continues to rape copious amounts of sentinals until he is horribly disfigured and left for dead. And, even then, he clings onto life long enough to deliver an inspirational speech to Kid, who, moved by the captain's epic combination of bravery, badassness, and humility, takes up the APU and shoots open the chain holding the gate closed, allowing the Hammer to enter Zion.
What a man.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
Charles Manson. I don't know if he counts as epic though. He VIs like my sister.
maybe a saint is just a dead prick with a good publicist
maybe tommorow's statues are insecure without their foes
go ask the frog what the scorpion knows
How could you possibly put Charles Manson in league with Captain Mifune?

Personally I tend to lean Beta NF for Manson, the classic guru-cult-former types.

First eliminate every possible source of error. Thence success is inevitable.
You realize the implications of that, right, Smile?

...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

Joe Gilmore a.k.a. Marshal Law - Se-ISTj.
Goverment sanctioned superhero hunter who gleefully and brutally pursues rogue costumed heroes in the city of San Futuro.
"A lot of people say I'm a uniformed thug, no better than the scum I hunt down... a fascist cop... a glorified Nazi... a legalized vigilante, handing out his own highly suspect street "justice"... someone with a pathological hatred of superheroes, reveling at the chance to beat the hell out of them. That sounds fair. I can live with that. — Marshal Law
Lyle Bolton a.k.a. Lock-Up - Se-ISTj.
Arkham Asylum's former Head of Security via a grant from Wayne Enterprises due to vast knowledge of hi-tech security systems, Lyle Bolton was eventually removed from his position because of his cruel and unusual treatment of AA's criminal inmates. After his firing, Bolton assembled a costume and equipment for the purpose of creating his vigilante alter ego, Lock-Up. As Lock-Up, Bolton kidnapped wanted criminals and incompetent city officials, who's permissive attitudes he felt were responsible for Gotham City's high crime rate, and imprisoned them in an abandoned private prison facility where he played judge, jury, and executioner to his inmates. Oh, and Batman sometimes gets in his way.
Alternative typings for these fine gentleman would be ESTj, moreso for Bolton - but these are my first impressions.

DeAnte, for an alleged SLI, you have a surprising amount of admiration for LSIs.
Perhaps he wanna join the dark side
I've heard the following joke:
druggie to kid: "hey, kid, don't go into drugs"
kid: why not? do you care about me?
druggie: oh no! You know, there is only one drug dealer around here and I don't want to share him. He hasn't enough drugs for two of us!

Never mind, all of this is quite irrelevant. And Ron Paul is a fucking INFj! I thought this was fairly obvious...
Welcome to socionics!
LSI-Se are awesome, able to do just about anything, and so sexy, feminine. Other than being envious of them, I usually love them.
Some LSI-Ti are awesome.
I and most people love mainly the Se subtype though, they're more popular, more beautiful, more emotionally stable, more positive, more easy going. As the Ti sub, I'm just way more internally negatively emotional, more uptight, less humorous, and far, far less impressive. Neither my Ti nor Se have ever worked well for me. And I've just very generally NOT cared much for Fe for some reason (I rely on psychological distance/like/dislike and aesthetics/sensations in relations)... I don't like a whole lot of emotion, I like people and environments to be calm (neither happy nor angry), but also beautiful and stimulating in good ways.
I'm sorry, but I'm psychologically disturbed.
