Outside the box, jump out of the box to see the world
Today we come to talk about the ISTJ type in the MBTI 16 personality
ISTJ tends to obtain energy from the inner world and prefers to be alone (I)
Observe the visible and tangible reality in the world (S)
And make decisions objectively (T)
For them, the most important thing in daily life is plan, process and order (J)
If the divergence is used as a measure of the four dimensions of MBTI
Then the four dimensions of ISTJ are fully convergent
The first dimension, inward, energy flows inward
The second dimension, sensations, focuses on information generated by real senses, not intuitions other than the five senses
The third dimension, thinking, being calm and objective without emotion
Thus reducing the uncertainty caused by feelings facing others
The fourth dimension, judgment, likes categorization and conditioning, rejects openness and confusion
When these dimensions are combined, ISTJ will give people a feeling of being down-to-earth
We talked about ENFP in the last issue
And mentioned that in terms of probability, this type is probably the most popular type of three minutes
And ISTJ and ENFP have completely opposite dimensions
ISTJ especially likes to do things that have been done before
Like to do highly repetitive work
For example, a safety engineer repeatedly checks whether every link on the production line meets safety standards
ISTJ will feel down-to-earth and safe while repeating
ISTJ doesn't feel repetitive work boring at all
On the contrary, in the process of confirming that all meet the process and standards
What ISTJ feels is achievement and satisfaction
ISTJ is the most artisan type of 16 personality
It ’s also the most work-loving type
Those who are still working and having fun in their old age
Then there is a high probability that he (she) is ISTJ
Most people may have a misunderstanding of the artisan spirit
Think craftsmen are bitter, bored, and have to fight loneliness
But in fact, a good craftsman may not feel bitter
Instead, he felt a different kind of joy in the repeated years
In the eyes of others, the accumulation of years makes this persistence even a kind of Zen
In the eyes of ISTJ, this process is natural
Let ’s hear what Japanese sushi god Jiro Ono and Tempura god Saotome Tetsuya say
If you understand how Warren Buffett works
In fact, you will find that Buffett is also the kind of person who makes simple repetition to the extreme.
Buffett's investment philosophy can actually be explained in a few words
But few people can do it
Buffett reads 500 pages of material a day
Including newspapers, financial statements, research reports, etc.
Buffett persisted for nearly seventy years
And according to Buffett's own words
Every day I carry a briefcase, hum a little song, and go to work on the dance steps
There is only one stock god, not for no reason
As you can imagine, if you make a Wilde-style ENFP work like Buffett ’s
It is estimated that within a few days, she will spit out some blood
ISTJ's success philosophy is long-term
In addition to Buffett, the richest man in the world
IKEA founder Ingvar Kampdra is also an ISTJ
He is not a talented entrepreneur like Zuckerberg or Elon Musk
What he did was digging deeper and deeper for the moat
IKEA optimizes the customer experience little by little
Speed ​​up delivery and keep lowering prices
This kind of competitiveness built in a slow and fast way is very difficult to shake
In life, ISTJ is very simple and even frugal.
They rarely go out of fashion, chasing new trends
I do n’t care much about the appearance of the product, but what I buy is the cost performance and durability.
Unlike many people who like old and new, ISTJ has a tendency to "like old and new"
They do n’t like to use products that are frequently updated
I like to buy a mobile phone and use it for many years
Take Buffett as an example, he used Samsung's flip phone with a value of $ 20 for many years
I did n’t change my iPhone until early 2020
I also said many times that I ’m not used to it
Although he owns 5% of Apple ’s shares, these shares are worth $ 70 billion
Reporter: You said that you do n’t invest in technology companies, but your current shareholding (Apple)
Buffett: I invest in Samsung Technology (the Samsung flip phone in hand)
Buffett: The flip phone is still very marketable, and it is good to sell to the 86-year-old man
ISTJ does n’t like change, they have an old-school style
Is a loyal practitioner of traditional values ​​of society
ISTJ's political views are conservative and are the mainstay of the right
They believe that work and family are the most important
ISTJs respect the facts and do not like to make assumptions
Will make optimal decisions based on the environment and facts
Because numbers often convey the most accurate and objective information
ISTJ generally likes to deal with numbers
ISTJ has an amazing memory for boring irregular information
They have an amazing amount of facts and figures in their minds
This comes from their developed sensory function S and the energy flowing inward
The example here is still Buffett, he is too good and typical
As a child, Buffett likes to play the game of remembering the license plate number
He can quickly write down the license plate of vehicles running on the street and will not forget it for a long time
He also glanced at the American Yearbook and remembered the population of each city
The person who tested him shocked his chin
Speaking of the shortcomings of ISTJ, it may be more obvious here
For example, sometimes too rigid
Lack of interest in life
Lack of sensitivity to delicate interpersonal information
Sometimes contradict innovation, etc.
However, the pros and cons are actually two aspects of the same feature
Sometimes the pros and cons can be transformed into each other
After all, who would think that Buffett would not use an Apple phone is a disadvantage?
