3 Big Differences Between INTP and ISTP Personalities | And How To Find Out Which One You Are

[@TrebleKnight]

What Type Vs Should I Cover Next?

[@ehmaree]

Can you cover ESTJ and ESFJ? I'm having trouble finding a video on that that isn't some guy who talks super quietly and tries to sell you a book every 10 seconds.

[@EarthenCavy]

I second this one!

[@beerus_the_destroyer7214]

Can you do some more istp vids?

[@TrebleKnight]

@@beerus_the_destroyer7214 I will if I have some good ideas lol

[@LobsterDuck]

idk but like- can you do a total drama video like What total drama character has your personality or something

[@TracksOnSnow]

I'm definitely an ISTP because of the "stick with one option" analogy you did was accurate af

[@wiffywiffy7896]

I got ISTP on a personality test but I relate to a lot of the INTP stuff here as well, that's neat

[@TrebleKnight]

the 2 types are really similar

[@Saevrnirs]

Most personality tests aren't accurate

[@wiffywiffy7896]

Agreed, the memes are fun tho

[@Fillmetal]

Same man

[@zeeshankazi-r8g]

me too bro

[@TheShadoes-zf9ts]

INTP creates stuff in theory; ISTP builds stuff in reality.

[@TrebleKnight]

Lol very true

[@skakqnakqsnwk]

Imagine ISTP X INTP... That'll be too op. But if this happens: ENTJ + INTJ + ISTP + ENTP + INTP + ENFJ Control, Plan, Action, Chaos, IQ, Harmony.

[@irenegronegger8972]

And academic ISTP can bring theory down to earth and make it useful.

[@trishaxx_]

well what if i'm both?.. 😂 i did 4 different tests and i got istp once and the rest intp but i'm still confuse up to this day since both of the types are really alike.

[@shaunmarais7698]

I'm an INTP with ISTP tendencies 😮

[@p.looshh]

Still can't tell if I'm iSTP or INTP :( I went back and forth after each example

[@fbibarbie]

fake Raid shadow sponsor was comedy gold man XD

[@TrebleKnight]

lol thanks

[@sweetgirl070707]

A few years back I used to get INTP, but since starting my first job I can't get anything but ISTP. But I'm confused because all of the "mechanic, take things apart, get your hands dirty" stuff doesn't apply to me. Yet also, I don't read any books ever, and theoretical stuff bores me. I'm not physically active except by forcing myself, but I'm not doing anything intellectual either, I just spend my free time entertaining myself. I've recently picked up creative writing, I write romance/erotic fiction which I'm guessing doesn't apply to either of the two types? I daydream a lot about possible social scenarios and I have imaginary conversations - those are more INTP things, I guess. Well realistically I probably fall somewhere in the middle between the two, which isn't satisfying, but it's understandable.

[@JiriStransky-sr8uq]

I an INTP always come up with an idea and my ISTP friend is always there to realize it with me, HELL YEAH

[@adyyyyy00]

I got both ISTP and INTP. Every time I take a test I got one and after taking it a few months later, I got the other one and it happened 3 times now. Lol. I'm confused

[@mizzero4103]

same

[@spkzfaith9680]

It can be very possible that you inherit both traits, do you?

[@mizzero4103]

@@spkzfaith9680 yes!!

[@lanaatolj]

Same😭 Idk if i am an ISTP or intp

[@jean-louispech4921]

comment from an INTP : this is the difference between a model, and the subtility of the biological reality. The real world of human mind is a spectrum, not boxes side by side. And human brain was not developed for fitting the MBTI types. But we need the boxes for speaking of the complex reality, where each box should represent a mean, a trend, etc... for a group of peoples with similar mind features. This is how science works, and advance. The best example is introversion versus extroversion, , the world is not divided between only ultra extroverted peoples, and ultra introverted peoples, but we have a spectrum, with peoples being between the both definitions.. Then if you are between INTP and ISTP, it can be logical, if you share some part of each type, like sharing N and S traits.

[@ENTJ_Perspective]

Dude, when you did the Raid Shadow Legends fake out I lost my shit. That was gold.

[@mushroom4987]

The more I research the more confused I get about which type I am ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

[@bakemono83]

@mushroom4987 It's ok, who cares about labels? Don't let anyone put you in a box.

[@priyanzhu]

1:58 accurate af! I open up my laptop to google up for the math formula and end up playing Tekken Tag 2 or editing wikipedia or searching for bremerman'ns limit

[@TrebleKnight]

Sounds like prime procrastinating to me lol

[@laszlo_kovacs]

I might be winging shit, but first I procrastinate for 3 hours straight.

[@EarthenCavy]

Hmmmkay, weeeell… The stereotypical, underdeveloped ISTP doesn’t care about a person’s feelings, buuuut one with functions that are more developed in a healthy way certainly can. The way they go about it is kind of like, “Okay, this person is important to me, because XYZ. If I say/do something to make this person upset, my life gets unpleasant and it makes me feel weird (is this that “guilt” thing? Man, this is so dumb). But, if I’m nice/supportive to this person, I get food, cuddles, and sex. Option B, it is.” ISTPs absolutely LOVE it when people make food just for them, because that means they are appreciated by the cook, and ISTPs craaaave appreciation for what they do. They are also MASSIVE cuddle whores. Physical touch is how they perceive the world around them (freaking sensors 😂), so it’s no surprise that touching/cuddling/skintimacy is how they express love. And, fixing shit. 🤣 -an ISTP’s INFP wife ❤️

[@alzenavashti]

On 16personalities website I got INTP, but in other websites I got ISTP :") after I watch this video, of course I am a INTP. Thank you very much!!

[@Catralasarguido]

Yep, definitely an INTP, your video was THE best for me to finally decide...and I've seen a LOT

[@TrebleKnight]

Thanks! I'm glad it helped

[@vivjrhy1129]

im intp but my NE & SE is so close. i sometimes switch from intp to istp. i just dont like sports . extreme adventures. and i like abstract topics so much

[@cosmic_seabunny]

I took the personality test, read the results, laughed because of inaccurate it was and typed myself because I have to do everything 🙄

[@TrebleKnight]

Yeah, the online tests can be really iffy

[@kuroenekodemon]

He's right about the multiple options and unable to multitask thing. I'm an ISTP and I cannot multitask and I get easily overwhelmed when there are way too many choices. When there is just 2 or 3 choices or even just 1 it makes my life so much easier

[@sketchyron5025]

That raid shadow legends bit was too good.

[@metatrapper4419]

Thank you bro! I was struggling with the fact that am I INTP or ISTP and found out that I'm INTP :)

[@TrebleKnight]

Glad I could help!

[@pbstinebiz2459]

I thought I might be an INTP, but the quote @2:15 convinced me I’m an ISTP

[@MilkyWayWasTaken]

My last two results were Istp, I just took another one and got Intp and I think Intp fits me much better (as I like gaining knowledge)

[@Dsauln06]

Ive done the test 4 times and it always switches between istp and intp sometimes estp/entp but its always these and idk withc one I am anymore

[@fappgodmaster1050]

We’ll both are similar. The way I look at the MB test is that it’s just to gauge your type on how your feeling in that instance. But your results can change because your responses to the answers can change depending on how you feel. I took the test like 3 times over the course of like 4 years now and have gotten INTP every single time. But some of the traits described in the video that are attributed to INTP aren’t necessarily concrete. (But they are a good indicator, when he said analysis’ paralysis it spoke to me on a deeply personal level)

[@Jelebanana]

i love you ive been struggling to type myself for a whole week now

[@ehmaree]

Why do I find 0:04 so funny? "EIJP-Q"

[@EarthenCavy]

BECAUSE IT IS 🤣😂🤣

[@trishaxx_]

i'm an intp for sure 😂 at first, i was very confused because i thought they were very alike..

[@TrebleKnight]

they look really similar at first, but once you dig deeper you can see all the differences

[@labutisas1]

A thought though is it's own reward 😂, so fucking accurate

[@anormaldude127]

I feel like I am fighting against INTP and ISTP internaly and say things like: INTP "we need to think ahed and secure our steps" ISTP "no, why dont we do it right now, If we fail then fine, we learn from our mistake right, EXP HAS VALUE MATE! FEEEL IT" INTP "sure... but what if we mess up big time and can't do a retry, I hate loosing mate, we need to WIN this time! ISTP "True... but, do we have the TIME? Is the bigest question here! INTP "True... but, can we affort to LOSE? Is the grater question here, AND lose even MORE TIME! Brain: now who are you choosing ISTP "focus on the problem now and risk failure" or INTP "plan and ensure victory" the choise is yours.

[@ae-Michael]

As ISTP, when I'm stuck in the TI-NI loop, I overthinking about logic and the future. I almost lost my SE. Sometimes I'm daydreaming.

[@wesleywaddell4659]

After watching a million videos on this the first thing you said made me know for sure I'm a INTP. Or did it? I'm gonna watch more just to make sure. 😂

[@TrebleKnight]

Lol I’m glad it helped

[@bluhbub8726]

When i took a test i got ISTP 4x then got INTP, then took it again ISTP and then INTP twice

[@Sewer_K1tty]

Thanks for helping me find out, I'm an INTP :3

[@TrebleKnight]

That's great!

[@godKiller.369]

(INTJ) This was pretty helpful.. I have several Ti dom nerd friends and they all want to save the dragons. The do it now/slow and stubborn/flexible obliviousness coins are great deciders for typing.

[@EyeHeartSUSHI]

I think I resonate more with ISTP.. I do plan before i do things because i like to have a strategy but only when it's necessary. But that way of thinking stresses me out and doesn't come naturally. I like to think it then do it right now, that way it's done. I get impatient with myself if I overthink solutions. What im saying is, well thought out plans (all the time) are great, but what's the point if the task doesnt get accomplished? I get really impatient with that. hahahaha I was always very impulsive as a child and didn't even really think about my Fe or Ti til I was in my mid 20s. I think I spend more time thinking and planning and explaining now, (as of the last 3 to 5 years) with the intent to actually do) then I did years and years ago. I think that's why it confuses me if im INTP or ISTP.. I'm simply an ISTP who realizes the value of strategizing sometimes, unlike before when I would jump into something without thinking it through.

[@EyeHeartSUSHI]

The other thing is, I never knew how I felt about anything because it didn't matter to me.. What mattered was to just do.. People who sat around and thought about things were just wasting precious time

[@amordevoneperez23]

8 years ago during my 2nd year in college I got an INTP result and yes I relate much with an INTP and today after 8 years I retake the test and an got ISTP my living and working environment change me.

[@lapkrit]

dude, thanks so much! I couldn't be bothered enough to find the answer on whether I am INTP or ISTP, because obviously as for an INTP it would take too much time and effort analysing and concluding my opinion from different random sources, but your video just perfect explained it. I prefer to get lost in my mind, get pleasure from imagining things, rechecking everything and making sure it's all in order, which would be quite opposite to ISTP way of doing. Though I occasionally do like an ISTP, but I guess it can be a little bit of the other, but mainly one.

[@TrebleKnight]

I'm glad it helped

[@AomiAoki1]

i tested myself for like 6 different tests. i got 5/6 intp and 1/6 istp. but i do relate a little on istp. which made me look for actual differences and similarities. Now i know that its not a mistype

[@schmooplesthesecond5997]

most intp, such as myself, probably enjoy most problem solving jobs almost as much as istp fellows. but for me personally, my mind always wonder off in between tasks, or during the task.

[@TabassumMim-52]

Now i'm 100% sure that i am an INTP.😂 Which mbti type are you? Very helpful video.😇 Please make a video about istj /infj vs intp.

[@TrebleKnight]

that's a new request lol

[@OnTheVergeOfLosingIt]

I used to think i was an intp until i decided to do research and came to the conclusion im an istp heh

[@j19l8r4]

That raid shadow legends joke got me cracking

[@Nachat_L3ilmi]

i know alot about mbti it took me years and still can't tell if I'm INTP or ISTP for sure, is it possible to just be both ?

[@TrebleKnight]

The type Gurus will tell you know, but I don't see a problem with a blend type lol

[@koizanamiwinchester]

Im an INTP and ISTP are my ideal personality type when it comes to romance. i just love ISTP's so much. for me they're my ideal girl personality type

[@Peacefrogg]

Still confused. How am i both intp and istp? Is this really a good classification?

[@TrebleKnight]

It’s probably a good idea to do a deep dive into cognitive functions then. My videos are all very surface level.

[@Peacefrogg]

@@TrebleKnight i guess i fit best in intp with some istp traits. This was just me being recalcitrant since i don’t really believe in formulas and classifications like iq tests and personality tests. As a tool they’re fine as long you don’t take them too seriously and as there is room for (the illusion of) individual uniqueness…

[@lifelesssoul_369]

Me watching this video being an IXTP : wow~~ so this is the differences living inside me!

[@Croncookie]

i used to be an ISTP, then shifted to INTP, the difference is almost unnoticeable, but then i realised how addicted i got to abstract concepts lol, i used to take people sereously rather than question cause it would be their fault if it were to be a lie, i never questioned, just listened, well i sure am good at alot of things, but id say i still do shift between the two, does that make sense?

[@TrebleKnight]

I mean you aren't supposed to switch if you read a lot of the typing books, but I see a lot of people say that. So I think it makes sense

[@Croncookie]

@@TrebleKnight 1:55 dang, you didnt have to call me out like that

[@Croncookie]

@@TrebleKnight people used to think i was really mean, shifting is possible if you put your mind to it, completely changing perspective, yeah, at this point its a skill

[@Croncookie]

@@TrebleKnight back here again- thanks alot, its alot clearer now

[@MrSpace-dx6ih]

i still feel like both help

[@TrebleKnight]

flip a coin lol

[@JoseInactive]

I know nothing about this topic but this video's great dude.

[@TrebleKnight]

Thanks

[@althae_the_dino]

I still don't know wether I am ISTP or INTP... But well...Who needs to fit in ?

[@zyxwfish]

Half the time I test INTP and other times ISTP

[@cagal1066]

Yeah i think like an ISTP but i present more as an INTP. Either way the procrastination is real 😂

[@FlamingFiringPlayz1]

If you weren't an INFP, I feel like you could be INTP or ENTP, because you always go into the points of view from sensors even though you are an Intuitive. Like you said there is no point in daydreaming about dragons. INFPs would very much disagree lol, and that's a devils advocate thing to do, which ENTPs very much relate to. - An ENTP.

[@rosieposie2953]

I did two different tests. I got istp in one and intp in othr

[@TrebleKnight]

🤔 Which one was right?

[@faiyaz_elahi]

I am confuse since I am 5w6 it's hard to know if I am intp or istp

[@kairossoteria6215]

test must be insufficient. i got intp but i like repairing stuffs and i am good in solving real world things.

[@javitotito]

I suck at repairijg stuff so I gotta be intp for sure

[@Leen_AZ123]

Hahah that was fun

[@rachahabib3838]

Ok, I don't agree with everything you said, I am an INTP, but I often start anything practically without reading on the internet, I once started to help my toddler cousin to built a game without reading the instructions, I am quiet practical in general and I even though I do often get lost in my head, I can actually be aware of my surroundings sometimes and theories are not the only things that energize me, I also love martial arts like taekwondo. Or maybe... I mistyped myself, I don't know.

[@TrebleKnight]

No person fits perfectly into one type. Every individual is an exception to the rules. INTPs can defiantly prefer to wing it and have some physical hobbies too. It's just that ISTPs are more likely to not read the instructions and are more into physical stuff.

[@Lomikoruk]

Istp vs Intj

[@Lulureads1899]

I got intp then istp 3x times

[@SarahRodriguez-1619]

Why can’t I understand what he’s saying at times? Like the lisp is too much and needs to slow down.

[@NA-tr9yn]

I’m jealous of istps

[@vipenishikhu5914]

I come as both how comes 😭

[@TrebleKnight]

they are both pretty similar, but keep learning and you'll figure it out :D
