This is likely the most chatty we've ever seen the ISTP. Of course, she's merely criticising most of the other types! 😁

I don't know why- I enjoyed being roasted by someone in their area of "expertise"

[@TYAC_TPE_SF-Bay]

I can be pretty chatty…about dooms and glooms and criticisms. 😅

[@petersmall1574]

For someone with Ti in the first slot and Fe in the fourth, to critique is to show you care.

[@somethingelse2814]

This is true. It would probably go: "ENTP, very... interesting but too talkative." There would be no explanation. Which would leave entps to say, "You know enjoying someone's conversation is a prerequesite to thinking they are interesting." Isfj armchair therapist: "istp, perhaps you could explain what you mean by 'interesting.'" ISTP responds: "I mean, "interesting" is pretty self explainatory." *unintentionally insulting the intelligence of the isfj and the character of the entp* Esfj: 😱... 😬...💡! "Oh, who wants cupcakes?!"

I can't resist, so would you say you dislike being asked if you like things? It makes sense that you don't like that because you don't use Fi (introverted feeling). I find it tricky to rank things too as an ESTJ, there are too many variables.

Yes, KNOWLEDGE, but not skill. In a survival situation, knowledge is good, but skills are where the rubber meets the road. There's world of difference between knowing all about fire drills and actually making on and using it to make an actual fire. We'd be the idea person, for sure, but we would need to lean on them while we put our ideas into action, to sift through the BS we learned about and earn skills

[@aldohydemusic]

The ISTP changing ENTJ's rank from one extreme to the other, after considering their reasoning.. came across as unexpectedly hilarious to me xD I can totally imagine an ISTP sneering at my ENTJ survival methods, theories and (possibly untried) backup plans, so this is probably accurate ;)

[@JP-en7cc]

[@nitzan3782]

The most accurate description I've seen of an ENTJ

[@billyhilly313]

Pretty accurate

[@petersmall1574]

It's interesting to compare her reasoning for putting ENTJ in the "No" category while leaving the ESTJ in the top tier. I suspect that, for the ISTP, the crucial difference between these two types is that the ESTJ could probably eventually find satisfaction in contributing to the attainment of good results, in accordance with a well thought out set of plans and priorities, whether as a (seeming) equal to or (probably de facto) follower of the ISTP, based on the latter's superior level of adaptability to, and survival competence in, this particular environment. Whereas, the ENTJ will never be satisfied with occupying any position less than that of King of the Entire Freaking Island. In which case, the ISTP would have to devote an unacceptably high amount of time and energy just to keeping free of the ENTJ's incessant efforts to lure her into service as a potentially very useful, and therefore highly prized, cog to be fitted into his imperial machine.

[@krazykatie2065]

The ISTP worrying that the ENTP would forget to eat got me good 😂

[@aml7481]

Can confirm that the ENTP would forget to eat. It's annoying to be with an ENTP and trying to eat, because they also refuse to schedule eating and so you'll never know when you can eat at the same time that they do, but they would get upset if you eat on your own. Annoying af

I second this as an INTJ who knows nothing about desert island survival and would know better than to try to figure things out on my own.

There was a time that, for reasons I have yet to fathom, my friends and I were inundated by actors. Some of them were real famous, some a little, some no one knew not even the other actors, but there they were, day in and day out, talking at us. Now, sometimes, one of them would be quite real and okay to deal with, but even those ones would often suddenly turn into a person who wanted to talk about feelings and motivations and ask WHY- lots of why questions- about a mannerism, the tilt of the curtain or what have you. We started saying "What's my motivation?" at each other just to see who would growl or cuss first. One of the worst experiences in my life. Although, it did lead to something I look back on and laugh about. Because, somewhat nearish to that time some police officers showed up to say something threatening , but they kept getting interrupted and it was often by me, complaining about actors. Then, one of them says something like "Hey! How would you like to be handcuffed, hauled down to the station, stripped naked and searched? " And, I stopped, gave him a grin and said, "I don't know, Officer. What's my motivation. Come to think of it, what's yours?" That made him laugh so hard he just gave up and told us to tone it down. Then, "To bel clear, it is everything. Tone everything down."

Useless facts about soil which would be useful in a survival situation: 1. Trace amounts of uranium are present in almost all soils , and also in seawater. This may be relevant when you need to develop a power source on your island. 2. Usually less than 1% of this is U235, however; remember to take this into account when determining how much you will need to extract, especially when planning the details of your island's defence strategy.

ISTP female, here ... Yes, I can confirm this list fits well. While my outward demeanor might seem a bit more friendly (for self and others' protection), my thoughts would have the flavor of your improv monologue. Kristin, as an ESFP, what's your take on ISTPs?

[@AFLoneWolf]

I recommend her "Through the Eyes of an ISTP" video. It's in much the same vein as this one.

Hey 👋🏻 I'm an istp too

[@midgetman946]

ISTP spitting facts 😂 (as always)

[@FreedomUninterrupted]

So yeah, I think I'm good with this "researched" scenario. 👀 As an INFJ (the "guardian"/"advocate") I have survived on my own pretty well. Being that my single mom couldn't afford to help me or didn't know how to. No one else even tried and often came to me for help until I got tired of it in late adulthood. Still, I comfortably pay all my own bills and live peacefully by myself. The people that are in my circle are few but, share my values so their easy to work with, humble, thoughtful, kind and have integrity. I'm set with the crew I have. As long as I could disburse simple routine tasks of weapons, shelter scouting, water distillation, fire makin, and food gathering between us good.

When you manage to not be a "...so no" to an ISTP #WINNING

[@petersmall1574]

What I find most telling about the types in the "No" category is that what they have in common is not their uselessness in the realm of physical survival, those are the leeches, but rather their potential ability to breach the ISTP's psychic boundaries, especially within the limited space of a small island. No matter how much potential use they might be, ENTJs and, in some circumstances, ESFJs, or congenial or entertaining, E*FPs, the "Nos" all fall into that category due to the threat they each pose to the ISTP's often tenuous state of internal equilibrium in socially or emotionally demanding situations. The leeches take advantage of what the ISTP can accomplish with her, abundant and, relatively, replenishable Se and Ni resources. The "Nos", on the other hand, are those most likely to drain the ISTP's more limited and precarious Fe resources. And at least some of the "Nos", whether intentionally or not, could act in ways that eventually trigger the ISTP's shadow functions . . .

[@wimsylogic65]

I n f p, True about happy to stay in my own lane however I don't think i'd qualify as a leech. I have survival skills. I know how to forage and track animals. I can read nature. I'm happy to chat and I'm happy to be quiet then off doing my own thing. Yes I would probably need to be told to do some things, but once learned I go from there. I'll even start taking care of things before there needed to be done.

I love your sense of aesthetics and the way you put on makeup. As an INFP which extraverted sensing blind spot I really admire your ability to know what goes well with what in terms of color etc on your face and in your personal style/fashion.

[@audreyhowler]

Honestly, if I HAVE to categorize people - still don't see the purpose - I'd never have that many tiers. It's a Yes or No for me, that's it, keep it simple, don't think to much about it. Because time and energy. I have things to actually do. -Istp

@@LiorTamirThey would most likely tinker, tinker and tinker. All that tinkering might lead to something grand, but I’m not sure if it would be something they’d be aiming for from the start Then again it might also turn out that all that tinkering ends up being wasted effort since there was no overarching idea or initial ask by anyone for all that tinkering

Most talkative istp video

[@Overt_Erre]

The video is scarily accurate, so much it revived my (INTJ) rivalry with ISTPs. The thing with the average ISTP is that they wouldn't be prepared for that kind of situation. An INTJ would be. I watched desert island survival videos for at least 20 years and read multiple books about it, starting with Robinson Crusoe at the age of 7. What would an ISTP do, gather pebbles hoping for the best? Bah In fact i know exactly what would happen. I played don't starve with my ISTP girlfriend. Having researched exactly how everything works, i made a plan of action to get us up to speed as fast as possible. In 10 seconds from starting she'd disappear without a word. By the time i had 2 machines going and was constructing traps she'd come back from god knows where with an inventory full of random materials and no idea of what to do next. After a few hours she was just idling in camp with just enough food for two, somehow surviving on the bare minimum necessities while i rambled about going on hunting expeditions and the need to arm ourselves better. Generally, besides her disappearing regularly without a word, it worked decently. I would tell her what we needed next and she'd do it. In the end i would die far more often getting in trouble by overreaching what i could do, sometimes in the attempt to impress her away from her deadpan idling/disappearing cycle...

[@caffemocca8855]

It’s interesting to watch this as an ENFP with an ISTP boyfriend. 😅 I’d like to think that at least my ISTP would put me higher than the “no” category 😂

[@petersmall1574]

I'm sure that if he happened to find himself stranded with you on a desert island he would sigh, look at you, sigh again, shrug his shoulders, and then bump you up to "tolerable leech", all in a loving fashion, of course.

Oh that’s definitely what would happen as he knows I wouldn’t survive on my own. 😂

[@thanhheu4129]

ISTJ- I have an ISTP uncle, and he's mechanical engineer. Very skilled in any handy stuff, fixing things. I'm just a new-bee learner to do anything on my own (well i learn mostly everything on Google and KZbin 😂). When comes to maintaining, fixing mechanical stuff in the house, ofc i try to do on my own. But if i try my best but there's a very accident that i can't figure it out in the moment, the ISTP uncle is the one my parents always turn to, so he shares me knowledge about how to debunk that accident, point out what i was wrong and its essential knowledge, and fixing my technical mistake. So i immensely appreciate that. ISTPs have their own way of understanding and doing things, and sometimes they shares needed knowledge to solve problems in face, very dependable people. 👍💯 And this Kristin's video is right. As ISTJ i'm learning needed knowledge on my own and learn through doing, prefer not asking from other people when i can if it's not needed or very crucial 😅

[@Mer0hwl]

Hahaha the agony over the hypotheticals - I could feel that in my soul (ISFP)

This is very accurate, except my ISTP brother would probably put ESTJs in “leech” simply for being controlling and traditional (if we’re going off stereotypes).

It should be memorable if the ISTP are rescued afterwards And not in assassination way oxo pls 💕

[@sreyasreya4650]

I think putting ESTJ on the top is not it, ESTJ will be like 'no you're stupid, you won't get shit done like that way' yk ESTJ will probably complain most of the time and ignore ISTP's Se, what i think personally is that INTP would work well on the top, (My father is ESTJ :))

[@salemsmith2878]

LMAO. Annnd at 1:17 youtube has now banned ISTP from its platform!

[@scone1025]

In case anyone else finds it helpful to translate the types into their "Through the eyes of an ISTP" descriptions like I do, here you go. Top tier: Bro, lets roll; Intense Yelling; Pretty cool Not Bad: Also a person; Makes a lot of sense Tolerable: Cares about silly things; Don't speak, I got this Useless: Beating around the bush; I will make you speak; Alien Nope: I too am a person; Person; Dress Wearer; Makes no sense; Loud Noises; Tell me more I am surprised that Person and I-too-am-a-person scored so low, and that I-will-make-you-speak some how landed in Leech

[@grys9245]

Yes. This is how much whining we actually do in our heads. Accurate lol. This scenario is actually pretty fun but I guess being compelled to do it switches it from the “yes” category to the “no” category thus sucking all the fun out of it.

[@SwirlyMarsh]

As an ISTP, I relate to so many things here! I often don't follow the guidelines people set for me and get frustrated with useless hypotheticals. One of my best friends is an ESTP and I would definitely put them in the top tier.

[@uninterestingname114]

I love how even the top category features “leave me alone” lmao. As an INTP I made one of these tier lists from my own personal perspective as well and I can confirm that every category except the one for INTP and ISTP features the exact same wording. Looking forward to the INTP version!

[@wassermann2911976]

likely as INTP, we would write using Post-it notes by turning them over (showing the type) and then pasting them on the board...

[@jimclayson]

I like all the types, but my preference for one type over another depends entirely on the circumstances... and I'd rather spend the vast majority of my time alone than with any of them, including other INTPs. More Fe-centric types can be taxing. Heavy Fi-, Ni- and Si-users tend to get stuck in their ideas on how things "should be" and ignore the wonder of "could be." Even other NTs often get stuck in their personal passion projects to achieve total global domination, while we INTPs are just trying to get by in a world in which we never quite feel like we belong.

[@pmj_studio4065]

​@@jimclayson"trying to get by in a world in which we never quite feel like we belong" - never heard it said like this, quite an accurate description. Not exhaustive, since that's not all that I am and aim to be, but accurate.

"I'm worried they would expect me to continuously acknowledge their existence." This is easily the most relatable sentiment I've ever heard, and the main reason I've limited myself to 3 friends.

[@Pandorash8]

As an ENFP with a close ISTP friend (well, as close as an ISTP gets with friends - we’ve known each other for 27 years), I knew I was going to go in the “no” category ☹️ but we really would be ok. ENFP’s are not (usually) as annoying as we seem 😃 ETA - although now I feel compelled to ask her if she’d prefer me, or our mutual, long-standing INFP friend in this scenario… I’m genuinely curious who she’d choose. I think it’d be me, but can’t be 100% sure. The question will annoy her, but luckily for her I’ll likely forget to ask it by the time I next speak to her 😁

[@Lm56lm]

ISTP here, all spot on. When I was at university, in a group work, after the first few days of inactivity, I did the work all by myself without saying anything to anyone. After a few days I presented it to the group, saying that I had done my part, now it was up to them to integrate everything with their observations. We ISTP just thinks like that.

ISTPs really couldn't care less about vague details. Ni pretty much ignores all sense of details in favor of "the big details".

Having Sex also means they completely avoid having to remember anything unless it fits with Ni, which is about wants.
