- [Narrator] And our viewers know
that the information in this video
is based on the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator.
These personality types
are more so provided as an outline for you
rather than strict classification.
Now onto the video.
have you ever heard of the Myers-Briggs type indicator
or the Myers-Briggs personality test?
This personality test is a self-report questionnaire
that indicates your differing psychological perspectives
on how you see the world and make your decisions.
One of these personality types
from the Myers-Briggs personality test is the ISTJ.
And it's the most common personality type.
ISTJ stands for introversion, sensing, thinking and judgment
and people with this personality type
are labeled as the detective, or the logistician.
Do you think you might be ISTJ?
Well, here are seven signs you are
an ISTJ person personality type.
Number one you liked to do things
the right way the first time.
Do you believe in doing things right the first time?
Other people might put less effort into a new task,
chore or responsibility at work
due to the unfamiliarity of it all, but not you.
You adapt well to new situations
and generally take things in stride.
You make sure to take the time and energy
to complete a task, as well as you possibly can.
You take a lot of pride in your work,
and want the end result to be the best it can possibly be.
We partnered with an introvert fan
to create a brand new channel called Introverts Unite.
The mission over there is to give you a chance
to share your introverted experience,
and bringing together the introverted community.
In the future, we'll be taking requests on different themes
which then turn into a video.
The content will be exclusive to that channel.
If you are an introvert, head over there and subscribe.
Right now, we have over 17,000 introverts
that already joined the family.
You definitely don't want to miss out.
Okay, back to the video.
Number two, you're generally allergic to incompetence.
(narrator sneezing)
When you're an ISTJ,
you easily find the most logical and practical way
to solve problems that are presented to you.
As such you don't like to waste your time
on ideas and practices that are not practical.
When it comes to your relationship with other people,
you value competence and levelheadedness,
and prefer to surround yourself with like-minded people
who think more like you.
Number three, you remember facts and details
of past experiences very well.
Do you have a really good memory?
Are people generally surprised
about the little details you remember
about the people you've met and places you've been?
As an ISTJ, you have a gift remembering little details
and experiences from the past.
You are able to pick up on subtle shifts and changes,
whether it's in your environment or with people.
Do you notice when your teacher
rearranges the desks in your classroom?
Are you able to pick up on your friend's downcast mood
by their hunched shoulders?
This type of mental awareness and remarkable memory
is a hallmark of the ISTJ personality type.
Number four, you enjoy reliving your favorite memories.
Do you have an affinity for reminiscing
over your favorite memories?
Can you close your eyes and recall a past memory
and feel like you're really there?
As an ISTJ,
you have the ability to make the past come to life.
You enter into a state of flow
when you relive your past memories,
with lush imagery and vivid details.
What's one of your favorite memories to recall
and walk through?
Number five, you keep your word.
When you say you're going to do something, do you mean it?
Are you baffled by people who make empty promises?
Because you can't fathom doing that yourself.
When you make a commitment to something,
you keep your word as an ISTJ.
You are someone who is trustworthy and honest
and people generally rely on you
to be consistent and dependable.
If you happen to let someone down
or forget a responsibility,
you feel intense shame and frustration over the situation.
Number six, you show love through help, not words.
Do you struggle to fully express your feelings
and affection for people you care about?
With the ISTJ personality type,
this can be difficult for you because
you prefer to show your love through actions
instead of words.
Instead of flowery words and grand gestures,
you show your love by working relentlessly
to keep things running smoothly for those you care about.
You want to help them and provide for them.
You are someone who sees a need that needs to be filled
and readily signs up for the task.
Though you might not be as vocal about it,
your actions speak of your affection for your loved ones
through how you help them.
And number seven,
you use logic before acting on your feelings.
Do you follow facts and logic over emotions and feelings.
Your heart might be leading you one way,
but you choose to follow the facts
that are pointing you in a different direction.
You are someone who greatly respects truth,
and puts it on a higher level of priority over emotions
except for in really crucial situations.
You'll generally follow the facts
over the feelings in a situation.
As an ISTJ,
you have a realistic and logical approach to life.
