ISTJ (Introversion + Sensing + Thinking + Judging): The Logistician Personality

ISTP (Introversion + Sensing + Thinking + Perceiving): The Virtuoso Personality
One Day by David Nicholls
Virtuosos will like a story that is realistic. So, let’s cut all the hearts and flowers. Can we talk about a book that portrays love in a realistic, nonsensical way? One Day tells the story of Emma and Dexter’s relationship over two decades. The encounters, the misfortunes, the wrong timing—they’re always in each other’s lives but keep ending up with the wrong people. If this is not the accurate description of a real-life relationship, I don’t know what is.
