ISTJ
Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.
There is nothing in the above text that contradicts LSI. The above text is also most likely the LSI when choosing out of all socionics types. It's not perfect, but then again it's a description written about an LSI by someone who knows nothing about Socionics, with that in mind, he did a good job
ISTP
Quiet and reserved, interested in how and why things work. Excellent skills with mechanical things. Risk-takers who they live for the moment. Usually interested in and talented at extreme sports. Uncomplicated in their desires. Loyal to their peers and to their internal value systems, but not overly concerned with respecting laws and rules if they get in the way of getting something done. Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems.
This one is a little exagarated, nonetheless most applies to SLI, and SLI is most likely of the 16 socio types. Although the writer doesn't know that "the SLI is a master of tools", he seems to have noticed it himself. Again a sign that he's following the same path as socionics, without knowing it. This isn't coincidence. A fairly good description for a non-socionist
