ISTJ Villains

The ISTJ archetype is often that of the dutiful hero. But, they can go bad too. Here's how...

somehow felt like u summarized psycho pass (and its main character)

I saw this type of character recently in the show Bad Batch. Crosshair wanted so much to just follow the rules, but he also has personal values like loyalty that clash under such a regime. I told my ISTJ son he reminds me a lot of that character in both strengths and weaknesses, but mostly strengths because our situation isn’t so dire!

"Hidebound" might be too harsh a word for the ISTJ.
They do look to the future, but always with one foot firmly planted in the past. "What HAS worked."
With low extroverted feeling, they focus on integrity, logic or call of duty, and find it strenuous to focus on others' emotions.

Ah, yes, Michel Desjardins from the Kane Chronicles. Though to be fair, he does kinda get a little Ne moment near the end of the second book, which leads him to give Carter and Sadie a chance.

I still can't tolerate this type at all 😂😂😂

can someone give an example of a ISTJ villain from fiction?

I'm deeply prejudiced because of my mother, who is quite evil, but every other ISTJ I've ever meet has been equally evil in the same ways, it's just not as fraught because it's not this intensely formative, emotional relationship.
They're hidebound, deeply unempathetic, extremely self-interested and merely petend otherwise, and even the intelligent ones are merely good at learning stuff that others have already figured out: math, foreign languages, etc, all these intellectual 'accomplishments" you may see an ISTJ perform is just because they're good at rote memorization and methodology. Don't get me wrong, it's a very admirable trait to have and in some ways I envy Sidoms, the way I would describe it is that every Si-dom I've ever met, no matter how accomplished, educated, knowledgeable and high lQ cannot actually use what they have learned to think.Anything they've learned is merely a databank, not a heuristic or an algorithm; their minds seem to me almost like out of dateencyclopedias, they may occasionally get an update, but that's not really a"mind" by my standard.
