For their commitment to excellence and their ability to focus on concrete facts and data, they are often called Inspectors. True conservatives, they are loyal to tradition and true to their sense of duty.
Inspectors are practical, serious, organized, methodical, and they believe that any result is achieved by purposeful effort. They work step by step, gradually improving their activity process. The characteristic feature of ISTJs is their amazing efficiency. If they are inspired by an idea, they are ready to devote themselves to achieving the result completely. They always finish what they started. Inspectors are true to their words and do what they promise. Unable to refuse, they often take on additional obligations. As a result, they spend a lot of time at work, investing a huge amount of energy.

Despite their seriousness, they are often not averse to having fun.

ISTJs perceive things in the context of their practical application. They prefer not to reinvent the wheel, but to stick to proven methods. They never break something that already works, and they maintain well-established systems.
Inspectors do not accept abstract concepts or abstract philosophy. They also find it difficult to understand the feelings and emotions of others. They believe that feelings should not overshadow the mind, and have difficulty showing emotions and expressing love. At the same time, they are usually very caring family members who love order and stability.

What will be useful for ISTJ to learn:
Actions in a situation of uncertainty. People with the ISTJ personality type prefer to follow instructions and tend not to deviate from the familiar way of doing things. It is difficult for them to restructure their activities and function in a situation of uncertainty.
The ability to express emotions. Inspectors are alien to the emotions of other people. And they also have difficulty expressing their own feelings.
Tolerance. ISTJs stick to their point of view firmly and do not tolerate objections. They find it difficult to compromise and meet other people halfway.
Delegation skill. Inspectors prefer to be responsible for the results themselves, so they have a hard time delegating tasks to others. They overestimate their potential and, as a result, can devote most of their time to work.
Ability to see opportunities. ISTJs do not like to take risks or try new things, so they miss new opportunities that could lead to results much faster.
Healthy self-esteem. If something goes wrong, they scold themselves and focus on mistakes, not achievements.
Tactfulness and empathy. ISTJs rarely take into account the emotional side of an issue. They act strictly to achieve the goal.
Ability to praise. ISTJs rarely express their approval or recognize the merit of the other person, so they seem cold and tough to the rest of the people.
Not suppressing emotional people. ISTJs find displays of emotion completely unnecessary when a specific issue needs to be solved. Nevertheless, some people need it, and ISTJs should accept this.
