ISTJ: can I tell you something? I’ve always wanted to catch someone cheating on a test.

ENFP: what? that’s literally my worst nightmare! I want to see someone writing the wrong answer so I can say “give it a second thought” in a cryptic way, but I’m afraid I’ll end up telling them the whole thing.

ISTJ: so… good cop, bad cop?

..... we're a good duo I promise

𝙿𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙰𝙻𝙸𝚃𝙸𝙴𝚂 𝙸𝙽 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙰𝙲𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚂 ➥ The Logistician ( ISTJ )

Mikasa Ackerman is someone with the Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. She tends to be reserved yet wilful, with a rational outlook on life. Her composed actions are carefully, and she carries them out with methodical purpose. Ackerman is thought to have defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make up for her vital core to her rules and standards, she doesn't make many assumptions, preferring instead to analyse her surroundings, checking her facts and arrive at practical courses of action.

Strengths :

༄ Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of Mikasa's personality. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to her preference for managing the reality of the situations she encounters with plain and simple honesty.

༄ Strong-willed and Dutiful – Ackerman embodies integrity in her actions, too, working hard and staying focused on her goals. Patient and determined, her personality type meets her obligations and mission, period.

༄ Very Responsible – Mikasa’s word is a promise, and a promise means everything. Ackerman would rather run herself into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results she said she would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for Mikasa, and she fulfils her duties to the people and organizations she has committed herself to.

༄ Calm and Practical – None of her promises would mean much if Mikasa lost her tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – she keeps her feet on the ground and makes clear, rational decisions. The same applies to criticisms, for others and herself.

Weaknesses :

༄ Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and Ackerman tends to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by her. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for her personality type to accept that she was wrong about something, but anyone can miss a detail, even her.

༄ Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, Mikasa often hurts more sensitive people’s feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. Her personality may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.

༄ Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and Ackerman is unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain wilfully ignorant of them.

༄ Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves – All this can combine to make Mikasa believe she is the only ones who can see projects through reliably. Since she has heaped the responsibility on herself, Ackerman then believes the responsibility for failure is hers alone to bear.

Conclusion :

Few personality types are as practical and dedicated as Logisticians. Known for their reliability and hard work, Logisticians are good at creating and maintaining a secure and stable environment for themselves and their loved ones. Logisticians’ dedication is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet Logisticians can be easily tripped up in areas where their practical and methodical approach are more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, learning to relax or improvise, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or managing their workload, Logisticians need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.

What you have read so far is just an introduction into the complex concept that is the Logistician personality type. You may have muttered to yourself, “wow, this is so accurate it’s a little creepy” or “finally, someone understands me!” You may have even asked “how do they know more about me than the people I’m closest to?”

This is not a trick. You felt understood because you were. We’ve studied how Logisticians think and what they need to reach their full potential. And no, we did not spy on you – many of the challenges you’ve faced and will face in the future have been overcome by other Logisticians. You simply need to learn how they succeeded.

(from personal experience sooooo lol idk if anyone else can relate)

w/ ESFJ

ESFJ is super popular in school/workplace

start off a little rocky, mutual mockery, the epiphany of enemies to friends and/or lovers

their true nature surprises the other person in a good way

w/ ENTP

ENTP finds INFP’s thought process annoying yet interesting

INFP finds ENTP amusing to annoy

much arguing but grudges are not held

w/ ISTJ

ISTJ acts greatly unamused with INFP antics, but every now and then…

manage to get the best out of each other once they work out their differences

ISTJ : Thank you, can I have a little spoon please?

ENFP : Oh, I almost forgot! [Hugs ISTJ from behind]

I think it’s unfair to peg Si as a function that is “traditional”. Oh, Si users are boooooring and here to enforce the rules on me! I hate my Si mom!!!”

as an Si user, I would define Si as “context”. Si see all the sensory information connected in a great web. How the individual pieces of sensory information are all connected differ between person and person, hence why it is an introverted function. An Si sensory information does not exist independently in the Si’s mind. Every piece of information always has a path that leads to another one, they’re all connected to each other. Compare this with Se. Se sees sensory information as blocks and independent factors , they don’t have such a huge desire for context as Si. (i might make a post in Se later they are really awesome and also kind of misunderstood as the descriptions don’t make them appear as complex as they are)

It’s not stupid “routines” and “traditions” that are here to take away all the fun. It’s a perceiving function, not inferior to Ni and Ne and Se. Simple as that. (if anything, i think people who rely very heavily on strict daily routines are high Ne users trying to control the sensory aspect in their lives) 

This is why intuitives think we’re stubborn and no fun. Si requires context to trust a thing to work. They NEED the factual information, or they’re not gonna fuck with your plan or idea at all. When some Ni dude goes “hey look at this awesome thing!!! conceptually it will work!!!”  Sensors are like “ hey but this physical aspect and that physical aspect and the statistics show that... can you explain why you think your plan will work?”

Ni: “It just will! cause you see this plan is very personal, i’ve been working in this for years, this is my one vision...”

and the Sensor is kind of like 🤨*raises eyebrow*

and the Ni gets kind of offended like : “How DARE you make me responsible for the SENSORY INFORMATION😤Sensors are meanies and they’re NO FUN.”

so yeah.

It’s just cognitive functions, no vendetta against intuitives, they really do hate being responsible for the sensory. It’s the same with Ni, if they ask you, “so where the fuck are you going with this project?” and you can’t answer they will straight up leave. They rely on a clear concept of the idea. 

Also i hate it when people think making observations in the physical world somehow require less intellect and complexity of personality than pure speculation do. It’s almost like intuitives think sensors are incapable of and unwilling to “think about the future” and “talk about philosophy and abstract concepts”, as if intuitives are incapable of collecting sensory information themselves. This is kind of personal tho :p
