Expat and FDG are right - what I probably need to find is an ISTj sensory subtype, because that would balance off my Ni-subtype attitude where I try to postpone everything and where I'm too careful about things that will probably backfire in the future.
I have no idea how to spot them. I think there is a side to ISTjs that I don't even know. I was more than a little surprised to see that Expat (and many others) had typed a character from HBO's Rome as ISTj. It was Lucius Vorenus played by Kevin McKidd. I had him typed as ENTp because I thought I was seeing the Se-role combined with a lot of Ti. (Mhh...
it doesn't seem that far off when I put it this way, lol)
There is one kind of ISTj that I know of but I don't even know if they are of the same subtype - people who are shy and quiet, very careful around strangers, wear the same outfit all the time, very conservative in their views, very dutiful. They are very reliable people - you always know what to expect of them. When they disagree with a stranger/half-stranger, they pout. Seems they've had their share of bad experiences upsetting people... When they disagree with a friend, they become very stubborn and enforce their own opinion. They can't really be converted to any other opinion in that case.
Their Se mostly manifests in being dutiful. They are very neat, they go to sleep early, they wake up early. They are very productive - they don't postpone things and they don't spend time doing nothing.
I have two questions.
Which subtype is that and how does it differ from Se-subtype? ( :wink: )
