I think I'm starting to see the pattern. The types with J seem more eager to post answers in such threads.

Post anything that:
- contradicts being ISTJ
- people think proves them to be ISTJ while it does not

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.

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.
