Ask An ISTJ!

[Owfin]

I'm sure many here wonder "HOW DO SJ PEOPLE THINKKK?", so I'm prepared to answer. Most of the time. I'm on the young side, so that means:

• No romance questions
• No work questions
• And no coming up with anything else that would require life experience to answer but "wasn't in the rules" (aka anti-trolling safeguard, though I doubt it will succeed) I'm on to all your clever little tricks now.

So, with that out of the way, let's begin!

So you have no life experience?

I expected that comment right after I posted. I should probably delete that message, since I think it just encourages everybody.

How long is your attention span on your own thoughts? When it runs out, where does it go?

Depends. I don't run out of attention, I just follow a new train of thought. But if I was interested enough I would continue until I felt like I was done, but that would take so long that I would find a new thread eventually.

I guess the moment that I run out of attention is in that second before I fall asleep at night.

what do you think about when ur bored? what do you like to think about?

Y does u has that pony as sig? it make me get NF vibe.

Do you hate yourself for being a sensor?

How do you enjoy talking about people n boring things in front of you all day?

What is it like to have a closed mind?...lol kidding

So you have no life experience?

LOL.

 

[Owfin]

what do you think about when ur bored? what do you like to think about?

I tend to create settings and characters for stories I never get around to writing. I like to take things too seriously and analyze them. I also like ranking things.

1. Ponies are awesome
2. I like using the pony creator; she's a creation of mine named Storm Chaser. If I had a graphics tablet I would try my hand in actually drawing her.
3. See #1

Do you hate yourself for being a sensor?

I cry every night into my pillow.

How do you enjoy talking about people n boring things in front of you all day?

I like talking about human behavior and history sometimes, but talking about relationships is generally one of the most uninteresting topics I know. And if I talked about boring stuff in front of me all day, I would lose my vocal cords before long.

What is it like to have a closed mind?...lol kidding .

Sorry buddy. I was just trolling. Forgive me.

 

[Owfin]

You have now been forgiven.

I spent forever trying to come up with a witty reply, though obviously in vain.

 

[Owfin]

Oh noes! My thread has died!

 

[Fukyo]

This is not a question...but an observation. I haven't paid much attention to your posts but for some reason this jumps out at me, I have a feeling you're a Si-ed up NP, not an ISTJ.

Why?

I know I should be the one answering questions, buuuttt...

 

[Dapper Dan]

Shouldn't you be working? :P

 

[Owfin]

Shouldn't you be working? :P

I stay "online" even while I'm at school because I'm too lazy to log out.

 

[Dapper Dan]

Somehow, I doubt lazy is the right word.

Recommend me a phone. Quadcore processor and Android is a must.

I do not own a cellphone. So yes, all of my spelling errors are my own fault, not a phone's.

ohh,

I am starting to think I would like to have the internet where ever I go. I was at a party the other night and I was starting to have internet withdrawal symptoms.

I'm still a little scared of the effeminate green pony with eyelashes, but I give you props for announcing yourself as an SJ on an INTP forum. Maybe you could become the first ambassador for camp SJ before my fellow INTPs verbally demolish you? :icon_pferdehaufen:
All joking aside, I have always wanted to ask an SJ, why is it that you guys (not you specifically) seem to snap at people? What happens in your mind just before that happens? Do you feel bad afterwards? Is a lack of forethought? Why?
Also, whats up with the control stuff? What do you get out of it/what are you afraid of not being in control of? Is it because you don't like thinking about the future and the unknown makes you feel vulnerable? Thanks, we appreciate the opportunity to pick yo' brain.

I am a NJ and I tend to snap at people...Well, when they're persistent in spouting nonsense.

I understand every personality type snaps occasionally, but I had an SJ manager who found it appropriate to communicate like this on an hourly basis. It was like, really? Maybe she had other issues too, I dunno.

 

[Execution Commentary]

So many questions...

The first is something I inquire of my ISFJ sister often (jokingly, of course): don't you ever feel embarrassed to be you?

Why do SJs feel the need to concern themselves in other people's private affairs? All of the ISTJs I have ever known, for instance, simply cannot resist snooping in other people's lives.

Why do SJs tend to be so ridiculously conservative (I realize that not all are like this) and religious?

Why do SJs always do what they're told, with no room for improvisation?

This post may come off the wrong way, but I don't intend for it to offend.

 

[Mello]

Is your pony trying to seduce me?

 

[Midas]

THE PONY IS MINE.

Now, axe or club.
jks jks, how did you stumble upon this forum?

 

[Pride]

Owfin!!! How are you my friend?

She must have been pretty stressed. When I get stressed, people who intrude in my personal bubble don't exactly get first class treatment. I do feel bad about it afterwords, because it is totally just a reactive anger thing.

Also, whats up with the control stuff? What do you get out of it/what are you afraid of not being in control of? Is it because you don't like thinking about the future and the unknown makes you feel vulnerable? Thanks, we appreciate the opportunity to pick yo' brain.

I tend to not like being in positions where I can micromanage, because then I am sorely tempted to do so. But I like being in control of my own destiny. I like having a say in what goes on. I'm scared of somebody else making me fail. Actually, I'm scared of a lot of things, but I digress.

The first is something I inquire of my ISFJ sister often (jokingly, of course): don't you ever feel embarrassed to be you?

Yes. I'm such a dork sometimes. Also I say stupid things a lot.

Why do SJs feel the need to concern themselves in other people's private affairs? All of the ISTJs I have ever known, for instance, simply cannot resist snooping in other people's lives.

These might have been SFJs. I'm somewhat curious if they keep hinting at something (and if I notice them hinting, they are practically brandishing a neon sign), but I tend to keep my nose out of people's private lives and especially relationships. Golden rule and all that.

Why do SJs tend to be so ridiculously conservative (I realize that not all are like this) and religious?

I'm ignostic, i.e., the question is meaningless until there is a sure definition of God.

Why do SJs always do what they're told, with no room for improvisation?

Well, again, I tend to like to look at situations as if it were me there. If I was executing a complicated plan, it would be extremely annoying if everybody just decided to do it their own way just because they thought it was "better", thereby ruining the plan. If I know somebody to be incompetent, then I will tell them what they are doing wrong, but I won't just change things without telling them.

Is your pony trying to seduce me?

No, you sick person.

THE PONY IS MINE.

Now, axe or club.
jks jks, how did you stumble upon this forum?

I got linked to it via some other personality site.

Owfin!!! How are you my friend?

Wait, I am your friend? Woops.

 

[Artsu Tharaz]

How do you know you are ISTJ? How do we know you are ISTJ? And like omg how come SJs suck so much?

 

[Zionoxis]

Recommend me a phone. Quadcore processor and Android is a must.

Do they even make quadcore processors for phones? The Droid Razr is only Dual core and until the new Android update, it still can only utilize one core.

 

[Pride]

Of course you are my friend!

XoXo

 

[Owfin]

How do you know you are ISTJ? How do we know you are ISTJ? And like omg how come SJs suck so much?

1. Just a strong connection with Si and Te. I have considered being an ESTJ.

2. You don't. Until now.

3. We SJs are the finest vacuum cleaners money can buy. Our secret? Sucking in all that information with Si!

 

[perkins]

You guys def. excel at sucking... with your Si.

 

[Je Pense]

the creepy pony hit on me

Did some research and the Samsung Galaxy S3 will have a quad core. The Asus padfone will be using the tegra 3 (quadcore). They're coming out soon...
