♇ the first two functions that determine the ISTJ TYPE CODE ⬎
Si Te Fi Ne
♇ the Si and Te within the ISTJ function makes up for the two missing letters in the type code: I _ _ J because the two missing letters are the first two functions!
♇ the Si is the _ S _ _ in ISTJ because it is about introverted sensing.
♇ moreover, the Te is the _ _ T _ in ISTJ because it is about extroverted thinking.
but what makes up the first letter in the code?
♇ what makes up for the first letter in the code is the second letter to the strongest function for the archetype. and the strongest function for ISTJ is Si and evidently the second letter is "I" which causes the function to now become from _ S T _ to I S T _ .
now what makes the last letter in the ISTJ archetype?
♇ you'll have to look back at the first extroverted archetype in the entire code. and for ISTJ it is ⟶ Si Te Fi Ne. the first extroverted function in the type is TE, which is extroverted thinking.
♇ Te belongs to the judging function which displays the fact that the last letter to I S T _ will be I S T J.

each one of us fear being left on our own without any support & guidance as a child, we fear not being able to survive on our own. As we grow up, such fears get buried. But for E6 kids such fears still persist & make their way into adulthood. They tend to be extremely anxious about their parents abandoning them as a child. When children are learning to gradually become more independent of their mother figures, a strong presence of father figure is needed to facilitate the process & play some specific roles to make the child grow into an adult effectively. Even though lack of a strong presence of a father figure affects all of us , for E6 kid it affects them more than any other types. They are often overwhelmed by the presence of their mother figure so they try to form an alliance with their father figure but that seldom works because the father figure tend to be either too disinterested or too authoritarian, controlling. It's possible the E6 kid lacked strong presence of father figure so they wanted to feel supported and validated by the mother figure while defending against the overwhelming feeling about their mother figure. Which results into deep fear, anxiety , ambivalent feelings about trust , nurturing, also it instills the feeling of needing to keep their guards up. It's possible e6 kid had to live with inconsistent, unreliable, untrustworthy, unpredictable caretakers who made them feel like the world is a dangerous place & their caretakers can't protect them. That led the kid to become master at scanning the details of their environment to spot anything that can be potentially negative or dangerous. They become equipped to pick up the smallest, subtle cues that signal threat. Their ambivalence towards their relationship with their caretakers & the world make it necessary for them to compromise where they become someone who is outwardly obedient but inwardly a cynic & rebellious who maintains their independence, someone with many dualistic traits.
-Her use of SiTe is incredibly healthy and is able to interact with her Tert Fi without any trouble at all. She is action oriented and always able to stick to her Si without indulging in the most unhealthy aspects of Si.
2.Mitchell Prichett
- His tert Fi is quite hidden and he sometimes struggles to define it. He did outgrow it as the seasons went on. It's mostly due to his coming up age with his father hovering over him and Mitch looking for his approval.
3. Rick Grimes
-His struggle to balance the use of TeFi is constant. His desire to stick to his principles makes him quite frustrated with the reality he lives on rn. He either goes full SiFi focusing on his values and hyper fixating on every metric or goes SiTe he ignores his Fi completely.
4. Carmine Berzatto
-SPOILER FOR S2
-Pure SiTe completely ignoring his Fi. Even when he tries to get in touch with it through his connections with Claire is very clear he just can't help himself. He is very hyper focused on every single little detail when it comes to his food ,constantly struggling to find the right balance of his TeFi.
5. Joel Miller
- Horrible SiTe with his desire to connect with someone yet rejecting them at the same time. He then makes a choice purely based on his Fi that dooms humanity.
As an ISTJ, I'm glad bayverse Leonardo is loved by many people, 'cause that means his ISTJ characteristics (that is very apparent) is loved by TMNT fandom too
Hello I'm continuing the MBTI series with the sentinels ✨ I only know two istj so I hope I could represent you well. Don't kill me pls. Are you an istj? Show yourself or tag a friend who is ! Who do you wanna see next ?
Enneagram 1s in childhood tried hard to be a good kid, they understood that adults expect a lot from them, they are often The Hero , The golden child of the family. Simply being a mere child was not enough for them so they started taking on responsibilities that were better suited for adults and became too serious, mature for their age. As as a kid they may felt like they weren't doing "enough" & often felt very pressured to perform/do what adults expect them to do. The kid learned to exercise extreme self control and understood the dangers of following sudden impulses very early in life. Mostly, there weren't much acknowledgement of their goodness from the adults.
The frustration, resentment that the kid will be experiencing because of early responsibilities, having to exercise extreme self control, the pressure to perform will be denied, invalidated by themselves.
Its likely that they lacked the connection, bonding with the "father figure" ( it can be any "protective adult figure" doesn't always have to be the "father figure") where the "adult figure" somehow failed to provide them the sense of dependability, security in adequate amount. As a result the kids felt the need to "father" themselves. They wanted to become their own moral guide, make rules for themselves, police & punish themselves so that no one else would , they wanted to decide themselves what's wrong and what's right-- these are the ways they followed to decrease their dependence on adult figures and increase their autonomy. Even as a kid they might have felt obligated to fix their chaotic household and bring structure & stability to it.
A E1 kid will surpass your expectations, they will adhere to the rules so well & do things so correctly that you won't be able able to find a fault or error.
A E1 kid they will quickly learn that there is one "true" right way of doing things and their quest for finding out their "own" true right way will begin very early, the kid will always want to find out how they can do the things in a "better" more "perfect" way and may end up criticizing , judging, rejecting the "adult figure" 's methods. The kid will often feel guilty for criticizing the adults, in order to deal with the guilt they will start to build their identity around seeing themselves as more "mature" "responsible" "good" compared to people around them.
