What are the Cognitive Transitions of ISTJs? 

I am grateful for my ISTJ father. As an INTJ, I hate my past but he always reminds me to not forget the path we have come through. I am starting to realise that my past is not my enemy but rather it is what has made me the person I am today. I was such a coward a few years ago but that is what made me to be brave. Thankyou ISTJs for your contribution to this world.

"ISTJs are very good complainers".. That is NOT a lie! lmao!

When ISTJ's don't believe in CS Joseph but still believe that ENTP's are too scary to debate

Keywords: lazy, irresponsible, ignorant, authoritarian, wanted/unwanted, most biased, very VERY sensitive, complains a lot, off work more often, fake, burden, conflicted loyalty, accountanble/responsible (quite confused by this one, contradicting to the second word mentioned) As an ISTJ, been picking up a lot of negative tendencies from this video. It somehow bothers me to be one, but i kind of acknowledge those traits at the same time (no hard feelings :D). It's actually a good learning opportunity to be told what you are and what you could be and what you can focus on moving forward. I am in fact working as an accountant/auditor for almost 6 yrs now and working for the same company ever since.

C.S. joseph is the cool uncel everyone wish they had

So glad you are taking proper precautions for your health! Stay well, Chase!

Don't forget to take care of your liver, Joseph. Because my dear ISTP grandma just died because of liver cancer yesterday morning (61 years old) 1 month after we found out that she had liver cancer. So take care. Thank you very much.

Wow! One of the best lectures on ISTJs from you. Thank you!

Lol, just actually finished the the video, little embarrassed how defensive I got about being called a complainer. Then I read my own comment complaining about the chalkboard. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I do get a lot out of your lectures though. Hope you continue to stay in good health and I admire your concern for the wellbeing of your children even “if” you aren’t physically able to. Thanks for reminding me to not take my time or capabilities for granted.

Get well soon 🙏❤️

Nothing can stop you *I mean it* 🔥

Wow, so cool you can help your INFJ son with your knowledge. I only learned I was an INFJ at age 49. Wish I’d known earlier, society is bad at passing on the most useful info at times 😢 It’s so admirable that you can help him with his psychology. Who knows what he can achieve as a result! 🤩

Gosh, chase don't you f**king quit on us, do you hear me??? 😟☺️ EVERYONE STAY AT HOME WE WANT OUR CHASE. Gosh I know how it is to have liver problems..

This made me wonder if I'm really an ISTJ with high ESTP focus. What you described about life achievements and experiencing being burned, ripped off and betrayed many times by people to the point of having conflicting loyalties really hit close to home. I thought hard about my past and my tendencies growing up based on descriptions from family, friends and my former church leader and I think that being an ISTJ with strong ESTP focus might be what I am or an ISTP. I'm often told that I have a "good memory" but I often have doubts about it as well as my intelligence. I often get conflicted between being affiliative and pragmatic which makes sense. I was also raised by STP and SFJ types too. This video was amazing work Chase. God Bless you Sir 👍

You have a legacy built already for us INFJs Chase! We know how far reaching and all-encompassing you are taking MBTI Theory with to its limits. Very ENTP-like. Which is good. Because us INJs can laser-focus in on your system and really see what works, what needs tweaking, what is positive and what could use some improvement. INJs are ALL about improvement of systems. There’s no doubt us INJs would absolutely love to help you and your system out to be the best that it can be. ENPs learn best from INJs & INJs learn best from ENPs Cognitive Synchronicity at its finest right? Please keep up the good work Chase, we really want to be able to teach this material to our friends and family who matter most to us! Thanks! Glad you are healthy and safe too.

Glad you're safe Chase. Is it bad that I'm kinda grateful for the pandemic just because it means we get more content? Idea: Chase you've told a lot of your story throughout all your videos so I can kinda piecemeal your life together. Have you considered doing one long cohesive narrative so the timeline is a little clearer? My Se is a big fan of Chase stories.

Once i had a close ISTJ friend but after I've started to develop my personality our friendship gradually fades away, wish i could send this video to her so she'll start her journey to gain courage instead being afraid.

Btw, I purchased your ISTJ package of videos. The Season 19 lecture alone made it worth every penny.

Thanks for the content, my friend. It is very informative and everything you say about the ISTJ archetype makes sense. I can read them easily so I perceive how true you words are. I really appreciate it.

Glad you're doing what you can to take care of yourself proactively. Stay healthy and safe.

Thanks for the health update. Glad to hear that you're in a safer place.

I always rewatch ur vids, I wish I forget that I’ve watched your vids so I can rewatch it...just wanted to say that to let u know how much u made my life different, since I got to watch your lectures I got to understand ppl better and, u r the of the few sources that I trust

Hope u get better son keep ur spirit up! u r an ENTP sir. Plz man stay frosty

Heya Chase, don't push yourself too hard. Thanks for letting us know what's going on, take care, we appreciate all the work you put in making these videos.

Now I understand my mother:D Thank you for this video

ISTJs are among the most common types and somehow always get the shortest videos :))

I’m 15 minutes in and wow we are rambling like wild

Actress Natalie Portman is definitely an ISTJ. She reminds me of fellow ISTJs like Warren Buffett, Olivia Munn, and John Cena. The most outgoing ISTJ I have ever seen is Comedian Loni Love who is definitely an ESTP unconscious focused ISTJ when being interviewed. When performing in her comedy skits, she is an ENFP subconscious focused ISTJ. She is very smart which people don't know. She was an engineer in Detroit, Michigan.

Another crazy accurate lecture, Chase. recently had an ISTJ change loyalties from myself after having spoken to my ex (ENFJ) who was bad mouthing me. Told me Im a terrible person since my ex "did nothing wrong" but didn't even get my side of the story before deciding I'm a terrible person and cutting ties. Definitely due to not feeling wanted as I recently broke off a FWB relationship with her because she was getting feelings that I did non reciprocate and my ex (as you'd expect from ENFJ) has an amazing ability to make you feel wanted.

I am an enfp and i developed my subconscious through lucid dreaming at young age. I see strong istj qualities in my self

Missing the white board 😭

We have to change the world with this information humanities future depends on it.

Found this very helpful, thank you Chase!

Thanks for this and do protect yourself during this Coronavirus Pandemic. This especially goes to those with pre-existing respiratory and diabetic conditions.

Thanks Chase, as an ISTJ this was really informative and useful! I hope you get better soon

There's intermittent sound from 35:32 to 36:00

Re: Covid. Same. I've been staying inside, and staying safe in order to do the responsible thing. I only feel "fearful" when I'm not doing the responsible thing.

Thankyou for the videos this one is close to my heart . I have to prepare emotionally everytime i i watch an istj video because i reasontly lost a close istj friend :( but your videos help me with understand her and her life and remind me of how she was. Prolly TMI but still thankyou!

Amazing, many thanks from an ISTJ.

Get well soon Chase.

And also do some Yoga or mindfulness meditation to stay calm and reduce stress, exercise and meditation is really helpful for me these days. I read a book "the places that scare you" by Pema Chödrön(a Buddhist nun) to stay positive. May this situation have no longer remain.

I hope you stay safe, I will pray for you and your family

Well done, Sir

The more I think I know about the system , the more I realize how stupid I am to think that I get it all .. I am always learning and benefiting from you alot every single video and it's more than my professors in my college lol and your voice wasn't loud at all ,no worries but there was a problem in the mic in the last half of video video but it's okay not a big deal :)) I am glad that we saw you :)) last thing, I wanna say I really wish your health is okay and I hope that you will be safe and secured , do not forget to take of yourself 💖

The more responsible an ISTJ is, the likely they are to lie about responsibility, which is why I avoid responsibility so then I don't lie

Get well asap Chase. We’ll be video calling one day soon to discuss all of this and it’s role in the bigger puzzle. 👊🏻

Just doing this if I come back to this video :) 43:13-44:41 Worrying about their performance 44:42- 45:11 Feeling unwanted 45:14-45:25-45:33 Ni demon

Yaayy istjjaayyss 🎉

Why do STP’s complain about ISTJs in a sexual setting? You brought it up but didn’t explain why

Great video 👌 unfortunately unable to help my daughter who is an ISTJ to benefit from such amazing lecture cuase she is not convinced about the subject. She is 18 years and 1st year university student.

I didn't notice this at first. However at approximately @35:42 your audio actually starts skipping for some reason. But this seems to be over a span of one minute or two.

11:40 "there's no reason to use lettering system" I think the letters are still useful for simplifying descriptions of complex patterns within and between the types. For example instead of saying "people with Se in parent or hero", you can just say "SP"

28:05 "in the absence of communication or explanation, perceptions become reality" why not abbreviate it to just "perceptions are reality"? I mean explanations and communication can be used a means to achieve the "perceptions is reality" effect. So "perception becomes reality" applies regardless of whether there is communication/explanation

14:05 "not all ISTJ:s are lazy, some are very diligent" doesn't this apply to all types? All Si users can be lazy because comfort, or diligent because duty. And Ni users can be lazy because they don't want to work, or diligent because they employ willpower to create a better future for themselves.

I’m coming to terms with being an ISTJ and I’m also a Baha’i. You don’t even have to choose between creationism and evolution if you understand the harmony that exists between science and religion. Also one of the basic principles of the Bahai Faith is independent investigation of the truth. Not blindly following what you’ve been told, which led me to this faith but also to your channel. Oh, people think I’m xyz type? Fkn prove it. Verify. Your system is the only thing I’ve been able to use to actually understand how I think and why I’m so fkd up. Te dom, Ti or Fi dom, Se dom in the house - had no choice but to become Subconscious focused which made me a shit show. Finally in my 40s I can look back and piece each part of my psyche together to understand when I’m dipping into each side of the mind all because I never felt I could just be who I was.

I watch these vids to see if they can help me find myself. Not really, I accepted it by faith at some point but found myself falling for the Barnum effect. ISTJ’s are really put in a box when it comes to the MBTI community (Or Jung Psych community if you really want to get picky abt it). They make us seem like NPC robots that only think with their memory and have little to not access to the minds eye. I get we’re not the coolest/most rare of types and that’s ok, I don’t care, I just thought there’d be more spice to this. These lectures are cool but often times people rely on this too much to the point of making it their religion. If someone wants to make this their religion/philosophy of life that’s their thing, idc, it’s not very healthy for me but for someone of another type/perspective it could help. All i can say for sure is, I’m done boxing myself in. Like I said, ISTJ’s don’t have much content out there, and what we do have is the same “dutiful, robot, serious... etc”. We have more qualities than just that, we’re funny, cool, emotionally supportive, etc. I just don’t find these things expressed in the psychology, whereas for other types it can be. It can feel more complex for other types, and that’s a bad thing since all human beings are deeply complex with different strengths and motivations that one can’t possibly pin down with the intellect of man. At the end of the day, our true label is ourself, who we are, Emmanuel Beltran, that’s me, not ISTJ #17927.

46:21 Can you explain it correctly what you mean about the infj (in the ISTJ 4 sides) I watched the whole video but I didn't get what you mean about the infj

You better get well. This stuff's too important to stop now.

6:40 "liver problems" - I hope you're feeling better, Chase. If you haven't already, have a look at intermittent fasting and its health benefits and give it a try. As I understand it, it increases overall health, so you prob don't have anything to lose by giving it a try. Who knows, mb your condition will get solved or at least partially alleviated by it?

In parts of this video the audio cuts in and out😢. Is there any way you can fix this? I really value your message. I would really like to hear the whole message. Thank you for all you do. You’re so knowledgeable.

In Socionics ISTJ Robert Mueller is ENTJ Donald Trump's supervisor! And how true to real life! ISTJ Mike Pence is also Trump's supervisor.

The part of the video from 35:32 to 36:07 sounds so funny because of the sound breaking🤣🤣. I couldn't understand a thing that he said about his brother-in-law 😂

This is my favorite setup out of all the videos, though I think the lettering could be written more boldly on the board so it was more visible.

How does he remember the exact season or ep to the things he was referring to? wowww

Might want to adjust your audio setup. Cuts out at 35:30 (really wanted to hear that description of cognitive focus) and 43:30.

22:25 "the blackboard pens suck a lot" - was that Fi trickster making the evaluation? 🤔Or can Fe child produce such evaluations too?

Chase it's hard to see what is written on the black board. Perhaps you need brighter chalk or the white board back.

Focus on that ISFJ subconscious dude, self isolation is tough, but you gotta be that immovable rock Si. Don't let Ni nemesis anxiety get you, cause you WILL make it out safe.

Hope you are alright, it’s strange, I was thinking that about you with what’s going on. I remembered you saying something in the past. Great video and I hope and trust you can stay out of its way. Make sure you wash all your food down before unpacking it. I clocked that you do these videos in somewhat of a order. lol that’s why I asked you to skip it and do the INTJ next lol I know, this ain’t how it’s works my bad. In my opinion the ENFP video has been the best video in this series, Including energy level wise. Obviously I’m not expecting that same energy going forward with what’s going on. This stuff comes second.

I would say I'm an ISTJ but an unhealthy one ex: si>ne>ni Like what you said. But I would say I'm an intuitive person.

Somehow after watching this I feel worse about being an ISTJ than I did when I found out I was one... I'm all about being about becoming better as a person but this video made me feel pretty hopeless...

I am an ISTJ, and I would like to understand what other sides of my mind I most focus on (if any). Is there something I can read to get some insights that would help me better understand that?

Thank You so much for these. I recommend using better mic though.

I’m so surprised you don’t think your daughter wouldn’t find much interest in this. I suck this up every single day all long sure I’m not a Templar but I teach and use a lot of this daily and it is my “philosophers stone” . Tbh you don’t know what will come of this with her. She might be the reason it takes another direction for the good.

Fascinating lecture!!

I totally get the thing where we spread rumors, with our ENFP sub-conscious, to me this is us trying to be a be a STARTER when in reality we should just be concentrating on being a FINISHER, the switch to starter mode, is good if we need to push ourselves against a STARTER/FINISHER like an ENFP or ESFP, but when we try that same strategy against the other starters (ENTP and ESFJ) they just go into background mode and expose us for being preposterous.

I think the qudio started to cut out when u started explain esfp and also a few times throughout the video im trying to study being istj itd be really cool if u could correct this somehow

Awesome lecture, although there were some audio failure between 35:33 - 36:00 and 42:33 - 43:02

Im going to use my 8th function to not have conflicting loyalties, for other things I am give my 8th function a rest and just use 4, 5, 6 or 7 functions

While watching this i realized and compare your voices from other mbti transitions I watched from this one Your voice seems lower than the videos I watched 🤔 Interesting...

Hmmm, I wanted to see what an istj is all about, because that's my super ego, and I guess that's vice versa in their case, so I guess they're not quite opposite but it usually equates to the vice of the type if it's demonic, and the virtue of you can integrate it, so I suppose I have a fact gathering/valuing side of me that I shut down or ignore a lot, but it sounds like it is the other side/backup to my intuition and introverted thinking 🤔

I’m an ISTJ, and I love most of your content. However, I think you that you labeling us as lazy couldn’t be further from the truth. ISTJs are the most responsible, reliable, and dutiful people in the world. Nothing is more important to us than to have all of our responsibilities handled Well. You have to know this, right? I don’t understand how we’re considered lazy, while you label the irresponsible, unreliable types like ISTPs and ISFPs as the most hard working?? Also, the taking time off of work comment isn’t truthful. This would be in direct opposition of what we care about most, which is being responsible and providing well for our loved ones. I’m a big fan of your content, CS, but the labeling of ISTJs as lazy couldn’t be further from the truth in my opinion. I’m not sure how many of us you have impacting your life. Everything about my reputation screams the exact opposite.

As an ISTJ that is ENFP oriented, I must be careful that I do not make important decisions whilst in my ENFP sub-conscious, otherwise I just keep starting new tasks with no Ni to capitalize on that new decision. Most of the youtube comments I write is me making decisions in my starter sub-conscious, which is why they are so vague.

Good video information

35:36 🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟

42:32-43:04 is it my earphones or this part is bugging out

The demon function seems to be getting two definitions, is it the type of thing that comes out in life or death situations, like in the two part angel and demon lecture, where satan was created after feeling like he had had his cause torn away from him, because if that is the case i have been having demon outbursts since i was about 23 and a half, and they have all been triggered by estjs mocking me, so I went all Ni on them to show they arent so tough after all, or is Ni demon the act of not having Ni which leads to behaviours such as laziness, in ability to form specific goals without help from others and other things like that? or does it just mean both? So is Ni demon the teacher becoming extremely resentful realising Common CORE can't get solve all of their problems or is Ni demon the teacher's inabiltiy to motivate themself to make her own decisions based on her own verification?

Is it really important for a templar parent to their children get a degree and achieve something? my ESTP dad is really annoying in this term but not as hard as your ENFJ father in law you mentioned.

21:33 As a mother of two school aged children, I am going to tell you now....COMMON CORE SUCKS!!! Lol Sorry had to vent.

Audio unintelligible from 35:30 to 36:00

se to si is a CHOICE NOT FEAR NE TO SE IS FEAr

So if ESFPs know the how and are trying to find the why, are ENTPs trying to find the how but know the why?

SI TO SE POSTIVE NE NI OK THIS WAY THERE IS NO JULT its smooth vers drop totaLY INTO A differnt perspective

Wow you also associate the Demon function gateway with Charity/Love as I did based on your lectures. So the inferior is FAITH, the nemesis is HOPE (against worry and through trials) and the "Demon" is Charity/Love ... and the greatest of these is LOVE! ... So is Christianity the heavenly answer perfectly tailored for human nature? Since by it we receive the 3 Theological Virtues?

SI TE SE TI NE FI NI FE SI FI SE FE NE TE NI TI

Can an istj after intense practice of Ne inferior get to the point where they can use it 24/7 like a regular hero function without losing energy?

but waIT SO SI NE IS OK BUT NOT SI NI NE TO NI OK IF FLIPING SIDE U CHANge ok whaTS THE OTHERS HOW MAny traNSITION POINTS ??? I haVE TO MAp this out so u maSTER ITS PAir then its oppsite - +

you haVE TO SEE BOTH SIDES And aNSWER NOT JUMP TO ANother fucktion kinda HOW THE ENNEGRAm saYS ITS THE SAme...

Weird audio hiccup around 35:30

I’m 18:26 in and struggling to watch this video. I can’t actually see that you spelled that wrong but I know it’s spelled wrong and you didn’t fix it 😑
