Who are some famous ISTJ people you can easily identify and those you wish you knew? The ISTP is one of the 16 personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. But who is the ISTJ?
ISTJ stands for Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. They are one of the most common personality types. They make up to 13% of the general population.
For the ISTJ, logic comes naturally and it helps them stay focused. Far from their spontaneous counterparts, the ISTJ is more organized. They plan their days and weeks. They also have a strong sense of duty to tradition and purpose.
As mentioned, the ISTJ is very traditional and rigid. They are very reluctant to break rules or shift away from norms except they absolutely have to. And even that could be different for them.
Although reliable as friends and partners, they are rigid in their beliefs. They are trustworthy and will get things done as they said they would.
