You think you are ISTJ because you tested as such on test like 16 personalities, but didn't actually research properly.
You want to immediately know your types under all personality type systems, instead of slowly taking your time and thoroughly research systems.
You show no signs of inferior Ne.
You care about being socially appropriate way too much.
I used to not give two s**ts about being socially appropriate, but have learned with age that doing so can lead to opportunities or at the very least the other party reciprocating when applicable.
ISTJs actually tend to care about being socially appropriate. It's the mix of Si's storing of norms and Te's applying rules to act in an efficient way. SiTe is a mix that tends to make people try to act in appropriate ways, but ISTJs often fail do to the low position of their feeling and the fact that socially they're acting without spontaneity, resulting in quite awkward behaviour.
Isn't SLI type Polr Fe, which translates to "I am bad at it and i don't care"? My socially appropriate is what i define as one, not from external sources.
Si is more like your own subjective impression of reality (In Jung at least), not really storing any facts or norms (that would be Myer's Si).
I don't how is this Te applying rules, since social rules are under the Fe.
I am not familiar with your typing history, but did you ever try to type yourselves based on Jungian cognitive functions rather than type descriptions, dichotomies and how other people of that type are? Because i have read couple of your last post and especially the one in "you are mistyped" point to preferring Fe-Ti axis.
I don't think we care so much about what's socially appropriate as much as we tend to prefer to not stand out. The end result may appear similar, but the motivation is completely different. I don't really give a crap about pleasing the collective, but I do want to go about my business with as little fanfare and attention as is possible.
This is probably more accurate than I could have described it. Leave me alone to do the correct thing and you can rest assured that I'll do the correct thing.
Yeah it is like.
Person: "I have 18th birthday today"
Me in head (I really don't care about birthdays ,but guess out of politeness i will comment) Wrote "Gz".
My grades sucked in high school but I got my ass in gear once I turned 20 and became a mother.
