ISTJ Memes Featured

This personality type comes off as serious, focused, and reliable. Also known as the Archivist, they enjoy spending time alone with their ideas, but that’s not to say they are isolated. An ISTJ personality knows how to find their place in the world and like to be involved in established social structures such as organizations and systems.

ISTJs have the Introversion (I), Sensing (S), Thinking (T), and Judging (J) preferences, which means they are deeply logical and focus on order and organization. In general, the ISTJ personality type is represented by respectable citizens who value traditions and commitment. The Archivist is interested in the inner workings of the world and will dig deep into topics that spark an interest. They want to know how various systems work in order to gain understanding and control. Additionally, they are also goal-oriented and tend to work hard to achieve excellence in both professional and personal life.

Logical and methodical in their approach, ISTJs are not too quick to open up. They take the time to know the people in their life and understand if they have what it takes to become their friends or romantic partners. Since ISTJs value loyalty and commitment, they want to make sure their feelings are genuine before allowing things to go too far.

Now, it may seem that their practical and no-nonsense nature coupled with their logical thinking doesn’t really add up to a funny personality, does it?

Well, if you don’t have an ISTJ in your life and aren’t one yourself, then you can be forgiven for thinking this type is a bit too serious and intense. But you should know they can be pretty funny, when they want, and quite sarcastic too. So let’s put on our rose-colored glasses and take a look at some ISTJ memes, puns (they love those), and inspirational quotes!

ISTJ Humor

The ISTJ has a unique wit that’s subtle but powerful. Sadly, not everyone can take their humor (that leans towards the darker side at times), as it takes an equally perceptive mind to understand what happens behind an ISTJ’s poker-faced delivery.

ISTJs enjoy sarcasm, teasing, and layered puns more than anything, but since their delivery tends to be dry, people tend to miss the humor. But this doesn’t affect the one delivering the joke, especially ISTJs who can (and often do) have fun by themselves. In fact, you’ll often see this personality type chuckling alone at an immensely clever pun they just released into the world, even though no one’s got it yet.

The best example of the ISTJ humor is depicted in the famous TV series, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The two characters that exert ISTJ personality traits are; Captain Raymond Holt and his husband, Kevin Cozner. They are both deeply logical and reserved, and have a unique sense of humor that takes a bit to sink in, before it can be appreciated.

When it comes to sarcastic comments, ISTJs are quite similar to ENFPs and INFPs, who use it as the means to express themselves, and tease the ones close to them.
