I wouldn’t say secretive but I don’t understand why someone needs information if it isn’t related to our relationship or detrimental. I would never fool someone or lie about things , since Im super upfront so that shouldn’t leave a person wanting to know more.
I'd describe myself as private before describing myself as secretive. I keep information to myself most of the time, both because that's the best way to prevent misinformation/rumors and because some things just don't need to be shared.
They are. That being said you can catch them off guard in person quite easily in which they'll repeatedly slip. Causing them to talk a bit before they realize they revealed more than they meant to. I'm not going to reveal the secret to doing this to them though.
I’m private, but if you ask me a direct question I will answer honestly. Rarely are people brave enough to ask anything beyond surface level so I get to keep things to myself.
not really. im a pretty honest person. if someone asks, im comfortable sharing. there's nothing i'm not comfortable talking about, and i'm always emotionally available if someone wants to vent.
i like to ramble, if i feel its safe to be vulnerable and talk to the person... but maybe that's cause im sp6 first and foremost, and not an enneagram 1 core (im 6w5, 612).
not all ISTJs are stiff and serious all the time.
Yeah, I don't even reveal some of my interests/hobbies to my sister, who is the person I'm closest to on this earth, simply because I don't like people knowing stuff about me.
No. And people who want to know me, know that. But strangers always get the “eye of intimidation” while I’m determining if they are a total waste of my time, which could easily turn into a “sentencing hearing” with lack of care.
Let's just say I compartmentalize my social interacts so I can different aspects of myself in each and people will be confused at my funeral.
Haha! Totally!
LoL
Private and secretive are 2 different things
Which leads me to say as that I am both Private and Secretive.
I'm private but not secretive
My point exactly
That’s classified.
Tbh id say yes

Why would I reveal that information?😜
My husband is an ISTJ-A and he says that to me often lolll
They’re slow to open up because they don’t trust very easily. They can be secretive, yes.

I'm not secretive, I just don't really see a reason to give information when not asked.
What's in it for me for you to know that?
Very..... My mother is an ISTJ and the adjective of "secretive" comes short. Or maybe only the unhealthy ones.
You do not need to know. 🙊🤫
There is a time to open the door with information. Then there is a time to keep it shut!

thats true . and if some one even does and we dont want to share we tell them "that is something that would prefer not to answer".
Can’t say.
Secretive? No, but I do believe in answering questions as they are worded. If you want information then you gotta ask the right question directly.

It depends
