* Gwendal von Voltaire of ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh''. Stoic, stern and private, he's the first to admonish his young, newly-crowned king for his flightiness and unwillingness to do the day-to-day work of running the kingdom...and the first to take on those duties himself, because someone has to. His dour demeanor is a result of his feeling keenly the responsibilities left to him of defending his kingdom and his people, as well as being the oldest brother and de-facto parental figure of the family due to their mother's flightiness.

* Assertive example: although Kaguya Shinomiya ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' may come across as an INTJ or ISTJ given her cunning and logical traits, as [[https://www.cbr.com/kaguya-sama-kaguya-shinomiya-mbti-personality-type/ this analysis]] shows, it's pretty evident that what she ultimately wants is openly helping people, which is what makes her happy indeed. She's also very good at practical planning (as ignorant of mundane things she may be), fairly calm and quiet, and very reliable, kind and selfless, especially since she's subverted her former IceQueen traits.
* Mio Akiyama from ''Manga/KOn'' is a good representation of the turbulent ISFJ type. Despite being often compared to INFJ Sakaki from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' - in that both are shy and introverted to the point of coming across as aloof, yet are actually very kind and warm-hearted, subverting the AloofDarkHairedGirl type - it's shown Mio has significant difficulties getting out of her comfort zone, being stuck in her fears, insecurities and habits. Her Fe-Ti axis is evident since she's very kind and supportive, and reveals her emotions far more than she would like, and at the same time uses her logic for personal organization... Well, and then her inferior Ne shows through the childish, [[SickeninglySweet overly sweet]] lyrics she writes.

[=ISTJ=] Inspectors are careful and thorough in examining people and institutions. They are decisive in practical affairs. These sentinels of institutions are perhaps best described as dependable: Inspectors are people of their word, intent on preserving social and family values. At home and at work, Inspectors reliably examine the people and products that fall under their tutelage -- unobtrusively ensuring uniform quality and demanding that certain standards of conduct are maintained.

** Mikasa Ackerman, though shy and carefree as a child, is steadfast and hard to approach.

* ''Anime/WeatheringWithYou'' has female protagonist Hina Amano, an optimistic, friendly and cheerful NiceGirl who is very open in her supportiveness of others, especially her little brother and male protagonist Hodaka (Fe).

She uses her inner logic to see how things work overall, being capable of being rational and practical (Ti tert), and while generally focused on the present and on concrete facts, she still ends up considering other possibilities, looking at the more positive side of things (Ne aux), making her an example who's not unable to think outside the box.

* Ryuuji Takasu from ''Literature/ToraDora!'' is pretty much the quintessential ISFJ.

** Hermione Granger. Considering her attentive to details and frequently referencing past information she's read. Referencing traditional methods such as the standard potions book instead of Harry's Half Blood Prince book also supports her being a Si thinker. Since organization comes to her easily considering she could tackle and schedule multiple classes and frequently taking leadership in planning schemes with Harry (ISFP) and Ron (ESFP). Hermione's ability to piece together information such as Lupin was a werewolf supports the idea that her Ne is higher up than an ISTJ's Ne.

* Cullen from ''Franchise/DragonAge'' is dependable, reserved, hardworking, serious, logical, pragmatic, realistic, responsible, works best with schedule and order, and deals in facts. He's able to make decisions by considering facts and practicality rather than emotion. He sets a goal and works towards it steadily and dutifully.

He holds himself to an absolute standard case in point his moniker as a Silent Assassin his attire and his choice of weapons . If you call on his services nothing will stop him so you better be sure when you call the Agency.

-->"It doesn't matter how many underhanded tricks a person uses... The truth will always find a way to make itself known. The only thing we can do is to fight with the knowledge we hold and everything we have. Erasing the paradoxes one by one... It's never easy... We claw and scratch for every inch. But we will always eventually reach that one single truth. This I promise you. "

* Noelle Silva from ''Manga/BlackClover''. She has a cold demeanor due to years of torment from her siblings for her bad magic control.

** Neville Longbottom is loyal, caring, and much braver than he thinks. He stands up for his friends and is kind to almost everyone.

** Severus Snape constantly compares his past sensory impressions and experiences in assessing current situations and in making decisions (Si). His past sensory impressions colors his perceptions in the present such as comparing Harry Potter to be very similar in personality to his father, James Potter, based on their visual resemblance (Si-Fi loop). For example, Harry is thought by Snape to be an arrogant spoiled boy who disregards the rules because of his place above them, despite Harry being the opposite and disregarding the rules not from arrogance but for the sake of saving people from a threat. Furthermore, Snape is direct and logical in approach when interacting with students and teachers without much consideration of their reactions and feelings (Te). He is also able to invent new potion methods that are more effective than accepted established methods that work (Ne), which shows his firm grasp over his inferior function.

** Minerva [=McGonagall=] from ''Literature/HarryPotter'' is strict and traditional about teaching and students' behavior, but her introversion hides a softer side.

* Elsa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' is an ISTJ who is stuck in a Si-Fi loop for most of the time in the film. She is crippled by the fear of the future of hurting her sister or anyone else (inferior Ne), lets her past define her greatly, and subscribes to the same routine of isolating herself after running away from Arendelle (dominant Si). While dutiful and protective of her sister, she is straight to the point when disapproving Anna's decision of getting married (extraverted thinking).

** Levi is a lone wolf in every sense of the word, performing poorly in a group and doing his best when he's allowed to be in charge. Extremely efficient and orderly and has a low tolerance for nonsense, but readily admits his faults. He has speech very blunt and to-the-point, as well as a sharp tongue, and lacks social graces - many people fail to understand him, thus misconstruing his behavior as heartlessness. Levi is extremely loyal, notably to Erwin, the only person he does trust, because Erwin has proven his dependability and efficiency where it counts.
