All in all, the year has been great thus far (still a day and a half left!), with the minor...|||That's so true.  I like the logic in how you think.  Also, what if you had a pillow pet?  Like one of those stuffed animals that flatten out in the midsection into a very comfy pillow?  Those were...|||Organized? (You seldom lose important items such as papers, keys, and you make it to your appointments/classes/work on time.)   I'm somewhat organized.  I've got an appointment calendar for most...|||Oh Sela, you sound like me.  I have to do CPR/First Aid again too!  But in regards to your post, Jacon, I definitely have problems remembering things.  I find I'm not an auditory learner so much...|||I wouldn't say you're too much.  Different, yes, but I can handle you guys!  At least, I can handle my ESTP boyfriend, and he likes my J traits, so we work well together.  Some of the things you...|||Haha...my boyfriend did the same thing...he did something to his ankle, but refused to go to a doctor because he said it would cost him too much money.  And then it was swelling up, and he said it...|||It might help to do something you like doing.

I have yet to meet an ISTJ.  Well, at least to identify that someone I know is an ISTJ.  I still don't know the types of the majority of the people I know, and...|||That's actually some pretty good advice.    I didn't know it at the time, but when I was younger, my mom and sister used to always tell me to join clubs and stuff at school.

Better not be anything bad!  Oh, yup. In 'loo too! Pewpew!|||Not sure if I'm necessarily reading for the information access, as you put it. I'd usually choose a big fictional novel over news, although I'll pick up a newspaper if there's nothing else lying...|||Hrm...that may be true. Learning a language also has it's technicalities (i.e. conjugating verbs and whatnot), which seems like a left-brained sorta thing to do.  Oh dear, every time I'm asked to...|||But isn't it more of an opposites attract thing? Always having someone who is almost exactly the same as me (being ISTJ and ISTJ) may be good initially, but I think I would be driven insane if I...|||There's a fine line between relaxing and monotone; I'm sure you're not monotonous!  But yeah, it's great to have someone who's a bit more mellow and reasonable to talk to. :)|||I agree with you both.

Or even between other people; like a more extroverted or feely-type person, where they just talk so easily with each other that I assume they know each other...|||Being passive may be something we revert back to, a general personality trait, but I'm sure we can all stand out when we want to.  It just depends on the situation, and what we are called on to do. ...|||I totally know what you mean about P.E.  I was SO glad they only made us take it once.  Not that I don't like sports; don't get me wrong -- I LOVE sports.

But yes, don't get us pissed. You won't like us when we're not happy with you.|||It's weird.  I think it has something to do with being a girl, but I love flowers.

For the most part, speaking up in a group (although it takes me WAY out of my comfort zone),...|||I'm sorry you didn't have the best experience with us; hopefully you'll meet more ISTJs that are nicer.  But I do think that we tend to act differently with the people we know, than to strangers. ...|||Not sure if ISTJs really could dish it out all day as you say, Lilsnowy.
