ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, which best known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.

Referring to Keirsey ISTJs belong to the temperament of the guardians and are called "Inspectors".

In Socionics ISTj's belong to the club of the pragmatists, the beta Quadra and are named "Inspector" or Maxim Gorki. Another notation for ISTj is LSI (which is an acronym for Logical-Sensory Intratim, referring to the cognitive functions).
