Hi ISTJs,
So, I've read several times that our fourth function is kind of child-like and almost involuntary, and it seems to apply to a lot of personality types I've met... and I've just started to notice the following about ISTJs, so let me know if it applies to you
Without appearing to realize it yourselves, you're very in tune to other people's "vibes" - I always notice that if you're talking to someone who's tense and awkward that you become even more tense and awkward, but if you're talking to someone really relaxed you completely relax. You're very easy to create rappor with and when you like someone you mirror their body language in a far more obvious way than any other personality types seem to. Also, you seem to always plan your words and actions, but sometimes you get a sudden impulsive idea and do or say something that completely takes you by surprise. Then you seem shocked and go back to your controlled self.
