Deep dives

Understanding Introverted Sensing

Introverted sensing, the dominant function for ISTJs and ISFJs, is characterized by creating a detailed representation of reality in the mind. This function allows individuals to take concrete experiences and store them subjectively, which helps them maintain a sense of stability and predictability in their lives. People with strong introverted sensing are often associated with routines, as they seek to identify and recreate the best aspects of their experiences for security. This internalized and consistent model of reality enables them to navigate their environment effectively by finding comfort in familiar patterns.
