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.

Discussion of S&W

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 <.<

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

We don't need proof, we all know you're wrong.

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.

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.

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.

I hope this does not lead to the reversal of the current and great trend of tightening gun control.

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.
