ISTJ: The one word that best describes Inspectors is superdependable. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are extraordinarily persevering and dutiful, particularly when it comes to keeping an eye on the people and products they are responsible for. In their quiet way, Inspectors see to it that rules are followed, laws are respected, and standards are upheld.
Inspectors (as much as ten percent of the general population) are the true guardians of institutions. They are patient with their work and with the procedures within an institution, although not always with the unauthorized behavior of some people in that institution. Responsible to the core, Inspectors like it when people know their duties, follow the guidelines, and operate within the rules. For their part, Inspectors will see to it that goods are examined and schedules are kept, that resources will be up to standards and delivered when and where they are supposed to be. And they would prefer that everyone be this dependable. Inspectors can be hard-nosed about the need for following the rules in the workplace, and do not hesitate to report irregularities to the proper authorities. Because of this they are often misjudged as being hard-hearted, or as having ice in their veins, for people fail to see their good intentions and their vulnerability to criticism. Also, because Inspectors usually make their inspections without much flourish or fanfare, the dedication they bring to their work can go unnoticed and unappreciated.
While not as talkative as Supervisor Guardians [ESTJs], Inspectors are still highly sociable, and are likely to be involved in community service organizations, such as Sunday School, Little League, or Boy and Girl Scouting, that transmit traditional values to the young. Like all Guardians, Inspectors hold dear their family social ceremonies-weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries - although they tend to be shy if the occasion becomes too large or too public. Generally speaking, Inspectors are not comfortable with anything that gets too fancy. Their words tend to be plain and down-to-earth, not showy or high-flown; their clothes are often simple and conservative rather than of the latest fashion; and their home and work environments are usually neat, orderly, and traditional, rather than trendy or ostentatious. As for personal property, they usually choose standard items over models loaded with features, and they often try to find classics and antiques - Inspectors prefer the old-fashioned to the newfangled every time.

i personally like this website a lot (u can see all the 16 types there). this is for istj: http://www.personalitypage.com/ISTJ.html
hahaha please lighten up a bit girl! don't be so hard on urself and others!! :D
in life smtimes don't always have to stick to the rules. sticking to rules smtimes cramp creativity and fun! going 'by the book' isnt necessarily always the best option. and i say this from experience. i used to be quite an istj too. but things in life have taught/changed me.
and like u, im not one to mince my words, so cheers, no offence, just my thoughts! (:

PS: in sec sch i took the test and was an intj, with n/s being close to 50-50. in jc i became slightly more istj. my close friends said i was more intj as a person and more istj when it comes to doing work. so i guess such stuff can depend on context.
just a week ago i took it again (just randomly haha) and came out an intp! the i and t parts wont change i guess.. and the n/s part is always half half. but im surprised the j changed to p. i think having gone thru uni and being on exchange has made me more of a p than a j. dunno if thats good/bad of if there's even such a thing as good/bad haha.
what im saying is, life changes u a bit over time.. so it might be fun to take the test again a few yrs from now and see if anything changes! ^^
