ISTJ
(I've kind of fluctuated between that and INTJ for a few years but it's mostly settled on ISTJ now)
Introverted 72%
Observant 9%
Thinking 17%
Judging 49%
Assertive 36%
You are one of the Sentinels - a reliable and dedicated individual who respects traditions and prizes responsibility. You are known for your directness, attention to detail and quiet dedication.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Spoiler ISTJ Strengths
Honest and Direct - Integrity is the heart of the ISTJ personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to ISTJs' preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.
Strong-willed and Dutiful - ISTJs embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the ISTJ personality type meet their obligations, period.
Very Responsible - ISTJs' word is a promise, and a promise means everything. ISTJs would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for ISTJ personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they've committed themselves to.
Calm and Practical - None of their promises would mean much if ISTJs lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship - they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples' preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and ISTJs work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.
Create and Enforce Order - The primary goal of any ISTJ is to be effective in what they've chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by ISTJs. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.
Jacks-of-all-trades - Much like Analysts (NT), ISTJs are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows ISTJs to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.
ISTJ Weaknesses
Stubborn - The facts are the facts, and ISTJs tend to resist any new idea that isn't supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the ISTJ personality type to accept that they were wrong about something - but anyone can miss a detail, even them.
Insensitive - While not intentionally harsh, ISTJs are often hurt more sensitive types' feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. ISTJ personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.
Always by the Book - ISTJs believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave ISTJs all but paralyzed.
Judgmental - Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and ISTJs are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.
Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves - All this can combine to make ISTJs believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, ISTJs sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can't deliver. Since they've heaped the responsibility on themselves, ISTJs then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.

Strengths
Honest and Direct - Applies pretty well, Honesty is what I always try to stick to but directness can sometimes take a back seat in lieu of the bigger picture.
Strong-willed and Dutiful - To a T as the phrase goes <.<
Very Responsible - Yup, to the point of being a killjoy.
Calm and Practical - Hmmmmm mostly, usually applies but isn't completely accurate.
Create and Enforce Order - Yup, I love order. Fuck Chaos.
Jacks-of-all-trades - A nice forer effect line here <.<
It does apply though, in both video games and IRL >_____>
Weaknesses
Stubborn - Yeah kind of, but not to the point of breaking.
Insensitive - I hope not and I don't think this one applies at all.
Always by the Book - ehhh depends, The book is good but direct interpretation doesn't leave much room for creativity in solutions >.>
Judgemental - Hmm, yeah. I worked on this one though, so hopefully it doesn't ever actually show through or influence my thoughts/actions. Private opinions of things are always quite judgemental though <.<
Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves - Ehh not really, If some retard is to blame for a shitfest then they'll be the one getting lynched. I'm not one to martyr myself over stupid crap that I didn't do <.<

Introverted 66% Observant 21% Thinking 12% Prospecting 11% Turbulent 24% PERSONALITY: ISTP VARIANT: TURBULENT ROLE: EXPLORER You are one of the Explorers - a bold and freedom-loving individual who enjoys pushing the limits and exploring the unknown. You are known for your quiet nature, technical skills and ability to improvise. Spoiler STP STRENGTHS
Optimistic and Energetic - ISTPs are usually up to their elbows in some project or other. Cheerful and good-natured, people with the ISTP personality type (especially Assertive ones) rarely get stressed out, preferring to go with the flow.
Creative and Practical - ISTPs are very imaginative when it comes to practical things, mechanics, and crafts. Novel ideas come easily, and they love using their hands to put them into action.
Spontaneous and Rational - Combining spontaneity with logic, ISTPs can switch mindsets to fit new situations with little effort, making them flexible and versatile individuals.
Know How to Prioritize - This flexibility comes with some unpredictability, but ISTP personalities are able to store their spontaneity for a rainy day, releasing their energy just when it's needed most.
Great in a Crisis - With all this hands-on creativity and spontaneity, it's no wonder that ISTPs are naturals in crisis situations. People with this personality type usually enjoy a little physical risk, and they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty when the situation calls for it.
Relaxed - Through all this, ISTPs are able to stay quite relaxed. They live in the moment and go with the flow, refusing to worry too much about the future.
ISTP WEAKNESSES
Stubborn - As easily as ISTPs go with the flow, they can also ignore it entirely, and usually move in another direction with little apology or sensitivity. If someone tries to change ISTPs' habits, lifestyle or ideas through criticism, they can become quite blunt in their irritation.
Insensitive - ISTPs use logic, and even when they try to meet others halfway with empathy and emotional sensitivity, it rarely seems to quite come out right, if anything is even said at all.
Private and Reserved - ISTP personalities are notoriously difficult to get to know. They are true introverts, keeping their personal matters to themselves, and often just prefer silence to small talk.
Easily Bored - ISTPs enjoy novelty, which makes them excellent tinkerers, but much less reliable when it comes to focusing on things long-term. Once something is understood, ISTPs tend to simply move on to something new and more interesting.
Dislike Commitment - Long-term commitments are particularly onerous for ISTPs. They prefer to take things day-by-day, and the feeling of being locked into something for a long time is downright oppressive. This can be a particular challenge in ISTPs' romantic relationships.
Risky Behavior - This stubbornness, difficulty with others' emotions, focus on the moment, and easy boredom can lead to unnecessary and unhelpful boundary-pushing, just for fun. ISTPs have been known to escalate conflict and danger just to see where it goes, something that can have disastrous consequences for everyone around if they lose control of the situation.

Before the Constitution: Just a signed peace of paper declaring a general warrant that can be used on anybody
After Constitution: Signed document that states probable cause, the individual, location to be searched, and specific item to be searched
So yes, the Constitution has given us a true right to privacy because a person that hasn't broken the law can't be subjected to a search

"If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide"
That's a petty excuse If I'm not doing nothing wrong then I shouldn't be treated like a criminal nor should I have my rights violated. That's the same talk used by extremist governments such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia And what if the government all of a sudden decides what you're doing IS bad?

Maybe once every 3 or 4 months my mom gets a mega-period, where she acts like the biggest cunt on the planet. It so happens had to start last night and my mom decided to get upset at my dad over something his parents did, or didn't do; who the hell knows? Anyway, she's just using this as an excuse because she has always hated my dad's parents. So my dad decided to just get out of the house and we went to the gym for about an hour to get away. Come home, eat dinner, and everything seems fine and we all go to bed.
So today is the day I don't have class till late in the morning and when I woke up, nobody was home. Mom called asking if I was awake then went to school till I just got home. As I drive up, my mom walks out of the house and I can tell by the way she was walking and the look on her face, something was wrong; then I noticed my dad was home early and though "well, shit". He said he's tried so much and can't deal with it anymore
Now, this happens every once in a while; my parents get in a huge fight, my dad leaves for the night, then everything is fixed (till my mom gets another super-period) but not sure about this time. Either way, I've put up with it long enough that I don't care as I'm an adult
She finally managed to calm down. Now time for another couple months of peace till it happens again

If blacks were the issue at the time, then you wouldn't have seen the formation of the KKK as a white organization, but as a black organization
Sorry, what?
The Klan was founded by Confederate veterans. It has nothing to do with blacks being the problem or not. For once, it wasn't economics, it was racism. The Klan murdered freedmen and black and while Republicans because they'd upset the balance of white supremacy.
Thanks for proving my point; if the purpose of gun control was to prevent blacks for committing retributive then that means they were the ones acting people, but that wasn't the case. It was whites doing it and Gun control prevented blacks from protecting themselves

The first gun laws were made to prevent freed slaves from owning guns
That was probably a good idea, at first. I know what I'd do if I were just released from bondage and had a gun.
I know what I would do to, protect my family from those that wanted to seek retribution because of the actions of the government cost them money. If blacks were the issue at the time, then you wouldn't have seen the formation of the KKK as a white organization, but as a black organization

Assault weapons are not even real; they are made up concepts to incite fear mongering and discrimination amongst gun owners.
You do realize that literally every single concept ever is "made up", right? And like I said, you don't stop at just assault rifles.
And seriously? Gun control is racist now? I've heard more poor arguments in favor of the abolishment of gun control than I can count, but this one has got to be one of the worst.
See, there is a difference. The guns politicians want to ban, which are semi-automatic sporting rifles, are classified as msuch because that's what they are. Assault weapons is a term made up that doesn't span just rifles, but shotguns and handguns based on the criteria they had established. And civilians can't own assault rifles unless they go through a very detailed background check, get permission from the city police, and pay a $200 tax stamp The first gun laws were made to prevent freed slaves from owning guns

Agreed race isn't relevant, but his comparison to discrimination of race is still valid.
I see what he means by the discrimination being unjustified. But slavery and gun control are still qualitatively different as far as I'm concerned.
Only time I brought up slavery was when I mentioned former slave owners, as in after slavery was banned. People like to complain that people to fly the Confederate battle flag are racists, yet the first gun control laws was based on racism so therefore I should be able to draw conclusions that new gun control laws bring back the times of 19th and 20th century racism and discrimination

Gun control is not only racist
Want to prove otherwise? Gun control prevents minorities from protecting themselves in areas of high crime, where they do tend to live

Discrimination against this semi-automatic sporting rifle is no different than the discrimination of blacks less than a century ago. 
Upset at something? Did you also know the first gun control laws were passed to prevent blacks from defending themselves against KKK members and former slave owners? Gun control is not only racist, but disenfranchises minorities trying to make a living

Studies have been conducted that showed the assault weapons ban didn't have any impact on crime and crime rates.
Hence why you shouldn't stop at assault weapons.
Assault weapons are not even real; they are made up concepts to incite fear mongering and discrimination amongst gun owners. Discrimination against this semi-automatic sporting rifle is no different than the discrimination of blacks less than a century ago. Both establish a falsified idea that both are dangerous and evil, when they are not
But muh emotions and irrational paranoid fears
CHILDREN HAVE DIED!
Children have died as a result of the concept that a sign will prevent violence, when it has shown it doesn't. I feel safe at my college knowing that the criminal justice staff are all packing some heat

I hope this does not lead to the reversal of the current and great trend of tightening gun control.
Studies have been conducted that showed the assault weapons ban didn't have any impact on crime and crime rates. Crime has also been in a decline even before the ban was passed. There is no logical reason for these preposterous regulations

Do people not consider background checks and registration "gun control"?
I don't. I see them as a simple necessity. Actual gun control is banning certain guns, handicapping certain guns, establishing registries, banning open and concealed carrying, limiting magazine size, and many unnecessary and fear mongering concepts

http://www.people-press.org/2014/12/10/growing-public-support-for-gun-rights/For the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control. Currently, 52% say it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns, while 46% say it is more important to control gun ownership.
Support for gun rights has edged up from earlier this year, and marks a substantial shift in attitudes since shortly after the Newtown school shootings, which occurred two years ago this Sunday.
The balance of opinion favored gun control in the immediate aftermath of the Newtown tragedy in December 2012, and again a month later. Since January 2013, support for gun rights has increased seven percentage points – from 45% to 52% — while the share prioritizing gun control has fallen five points (from 51% to 46%).
The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Dec. 3-7 among 1,507 adults, also finds a shift in attitudes about whether gun ownership in this country does more to protect people or put people’s safety at risk. Nearly six-in-ten Americans (57%) say gun ownership does more to protect people from becoming victims of crime, while 38% say it does more to endanger personal safety. In the days after Newtown, 48% said guns do more to protect people and 37% said they placed people at risk.
Over the past two years, blacks’ views on this measure have changed dramatically. Currently, 54% of blacks say gun ownership does more to protect people than endanger personal safety, nearly double the percentage saying this in December 2012 (29%). By contrast, whites’ views have shown less change: 62% now view guns as doing more to protect people, up from 54% in December. This is fucking great! Really put a smile on my face

And aren't Democrats the ones who place the blame on Republicans for last years shutdown, yet here's two prominent Democrats advocating for another shutdown?
There is a difference between...
A.) Shutting down the government over unnecessary additions to the bill (Including gutting campaign finance rules ahead of fundraising for the 2016 election), and cutting down on student loans.
B.) Shutting down the government because you didn't get the judicial ruling you wanted.
Government shouldn't regulate how much money a person wants to donate
Isn't just about a person's individual donations, but also relates to corporations, Super PACS, etc.
Elections, and fundraising, need to have rules. Continuing to gut them only corrupts the process, meaning the rich, and those who know the rich, get elected.
we can address student loans later, but we can't address the government being shutdown later
If we are addressing it later, then don't include it in the package. Simple as that.
And I'm not even going to get into the debate of the Obamacare Shutdown of 2013, because dozens of us have told you why you were wrong on that issue.
It costs millions to run a national campaign, especially for the presidency. Only way to afford it is through these corporations It's stupid move, I'll agree with that [student loans cuts] but to shutdown the government over it is not a viable solution here. It's that simple Those "dozens" are those who support the government intruding on a person's trip to the doctor. People disagreeing with me who support something I don't agree with is far from proving me wrong

...says the guy who has no student loans and goes to a cheap-ass school.
My parents objected very hard that I take out a loan. I had no problem doing so and once I get a career, I'll give them the cost of my tuition to them so they can use or save it for my brother for when he goes to college. I made a smart move to attend a cheap school, a degree is the same and people who attend $30k+ schools are idiots for paying more for a name

Government shouldn't regulate how much money a person wants to donate and how many people do you think won't be able to pay for college or provide for their family if they won't get paid because of a shutdown? My dad works for a Navy contractor that does ship maintenance this has the possibility of effecting not only his life, but the lives of around 100 employees at his company; we can address student loans later, but we can't address the government being shutdown later And Democrats have never done the same? We don't live in a Democracy, we live in a Republic. In both the Direct type and the Representative type of Democracy, The Majority’s power is absolute and unlimited; its decisions are unappealable under the legal system established to give effect to this form of government. This opens the door to unlimited Tyranny-by-Majority. This was what The Framers of the United States Constitution meant in 1787, in debates in the Federal (framing) Convention, when they condemned the "excesses of democracy" and abuses under any Democracy of the unalienable rights of The Individual by The Majority.
