ISTP - "Engineers and Anti-Heroes"

[@RawGameplay0]

Im an istp and one of my greatest interests is psychology. The way people think and why they make certain actions has always interested me. I'm working on restoring an old BMX bike and I play football and basketball for fun. I also like to read books.

[@RRRsimracing]

As much as ISTP's appreciate existing under the radar, we also appreciate standing out every once in a while, but thankfully we're not as popular as the INFJ... 😬😏

[@SqueakyIri]

INFJ here and ouch! 😂 Seriously, though, being proud of your MBTI type is chill, but bragging about it endlessly on MBTI forums is not. lol

[@Hijazi44]

I think the ability to Ti things without hands on approach gets so overlooked

[@Hijazi44]

@Taylor Hall same

[@traditionalgirl3943]

Great job! I like how you explained the fact that ISTP does appreciate Fe, even though he/she is comfortable operating independent of it. (ISTP)

[@CyanydeKiss]

Female ISTP here, very accurate description. Our tertiary and inferior functions are basically unfamiliar to us and very uncomfortable until we peak maturity, then it all comes together as we begin to become more comfortable with our intuition and feelings. Putting my thoughts into words has been a challenge in the past, but it has become easier. A sense of balance is formed with every individual as we become more comfortable with cycling through our function stack. I spent much of my younger years thinking, researching, troubleshooting, taking things apart and putting them back together, problem solving, and putting that knowledge into action. So street smarts, yes indeed, as my first career involved much of that.😁👍

[@Laura-Yu]

Thank you for mentioning physics as an ISTP in experimental condensed matter physics🙈 I’m so tired of the stereotype that ISTPs are “not interested in science” or not as analytical as xNTx’s.

[@yedoru4448]

ISTPs are interested in science, they are just very bad at it usually

[@xSHAD0WNiNjA]

@@yedoru4448 I'm even worse at maths

[@yedoru4448]

@@xSHAD0WNiNjA ISTPs are usually bosses at math. They are not good with science though, high level science requires Ne.

[@yedoru4448]

ISTPs are analytical, but the things they are analytical about is usually non meta, things that can seen touched felt etc. When it comes to things of a more abstract nature ISTPs have a very bad time analyzing such things, thus making them less analytical than NTs.

[@stevedavenport1202]

ISTPs are very analytical. The gears in their head are constantly grinding.

[@Binyamin.Tsadik]

Cool breakdown, Actually George Lucas is an ISTP so you'll see that nearly half of his characters and the StarWars universe itself sheds a lot of light into how ISTPs like myself view things. Yoda is also an ISTP. The Emperor and Obi-wan are both some kind of Ni dom. I used to like his other movie, Willow, as a kid. Also a very ISTP outlook.

love your videos keep on the good work

[@johnnyscocktaeil7875]

Funny how it's basically ENFJ=The protagonist and ISTP=(can be antagonist) I'm an ISTP and I sure do have dark thoughts sometimes and I hate stereotypical main characters. Maybe the reason why The Purge and other horror movies are my taste when it comes to movies. Edit: After a year fuck this sounds so edgy but it's true, fuckin true. Stereotypical protagonists irritate me, I prefer realism when it comes to movies, with real life application, story that makes sense that will expand my perspective and leave me some new knowledge.

[@zozosiwa7176]

i fucking relate to you so badly , oh btw hello ,I'm an ISTP too , nice to meet ya :) also if you talking about movie taste , you should watch Money Heist for sureee , i loved those series , and pretty sure you will too

[@zozosiwa7176]

@chimpanzee eagle Berlin , ig there are many that I liked , remember the people who saved Tokyo when she was caught by the police , there was one women in the group ,lol, i liked her , professor ,Tokyo , Rio , i liked em all lmao , wby

[@imDontaye]

I feel the same way. I’m not a big fan of those fanasty shows with the stereotypical hero of the story (sounds corny, i know), I usually prefer more realistic movies/shows or slice of life type shows, though I do prefer some shows that have fantasy related tropes

[@Piratadoidao]

Anti-heroes and engineers are just a stereotype. It's not that deep.

[@AmericanDrinker]

You're good a talking into a camera. Keep it up 👍

[@XX-bk6xd]

Loved it. Thank you 😊

[@AsuraPsych]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@cagal1066]

Yeah. I particularly hate rules/ traditions which are counterproductive or wasteful. If it's stupid I'll just skip it so I get things done. Doc Brown (Back to the Future) with the plutonium is a great example. He doesn't plan to hurt anyone so the rules are just in the way. Also, going to all the trouble to build the huge ice maker just for his tea - so ISTP 😂

[@yurizafurizaki5574]

Based on your description, I would fit more in the ISTP type, I used to take things apart because I was curious how they worked, light bulbs, audio set, whatever I could take apart, even animals (my dorm had a microscope that I often used to see the specimens of the small animals I took apart). However, according to two practitioners, I am an INTP, and I do relate more to NeSi than SeNi. I didn't take the results they gave at face value, I did research on cognitive functions for years to see if they're correct. I am not a hands on person, and I am more into theories than practical knowledge, but it's more about biology and physics (and these things would be more ISTP-ish than INTP-ish according to this video, because I did experiment with real animals), religions (I did comparative studies on religions), now psychology. I am also an avid debater and I debate about anything basically. According to Linda Berens, Ne is similar to Se in that both are "here and now" functions, except Ne is abstract, it takes in concrete information and turns it into abstraction, and both are also about "possibilities", the Ne about what could be possible, the Se is about what is possible, so Se is not imaginative like Ne. As young as 12-13 years old I already enjoyed debating with adults, about religions and other topics. My uncle being the person I often discussed and debated with. I write essays about all the things I study, religions, psychology, physics, biology. I'm into math too btw. And I am more into the future and the past than thè current events. It's not possible to have Ne and Se but I think I also learn like Se folks, jump right in into it and experiment and figure things out as I do it, this would be more learning kinesthetically (wait a minute, is this the same as being hands on? Because I have a different interpretation for "hands on", I'm not the type of person that is interested to do things with my hands, I'd rather have someone do it for me, but I'd lay out the ideas/methods/instructions, whatever). Vèry very rarely do I depend on manuals or tutorials. Ok, now I am confused again.

[@koonesuki]

You might be a Harmonizing subtype from Viktor Gulenko's DCNH subtypes. Essentially, there are 4 subtypes: dominant, creative, normalizing and harmonizing. Each subtype focuses more on 2 functions than others of the same type. Harmonizing subtypes fixate on and emphasizes their blind spot and demon functions-in the case of the INTP it would be Se and Fi. Normalizing subtypes of an introverted judging dominant type tend to have a more rigid Ti or Fi depending on which function occupies the 8th slot. An INTP won't magically become a xSFP, however, they might appear as such.

[@imnottalkingtoanatolianzombies]

its not how it works, buddy your an intp loser babygirl

[@someguy5977]

I've always thought the protagonist in "The Rising of the Shield Hero" would be an ISTP. He could use a short video all by himself.

[@kevinfukthezetamale4298]

ISTPs pioneered the philosophy of Cynicism, Diogenes happens to be fall in this category.

[@t5396]

What makes you think that?

[@baaf777]

OK, I guess my ISTP brother and me are both Se-Ti stereotypes then, because as kids we loved to take apart things and study the parts to learn how they worked. We both have a Master in Engineering. Fun-fact: many of my ISTP friends gravitated towards Electrical Engineering or Computer Science while most of my ESTP friends preferred Mechanical Engineering.

[@michaelkrull3331]

The title character of the Mad Max films is also a good fit for both archetypes. Focused in the moment, ingenuous, clever, and seemingly amoral, but will do the right thing in the end.

[@NoNamedNobody692]

SHADOW FUNCTIONS ASURA!!! Would like to hear your perspective personally on your own type’s use of the bottom 4 functions of a type’s function stack. Ex) INTJ’s Shadow Functions: [aka ENTP-Unconscious/Shadow] 5) Ne- Nemesis/Opposing Role 6) Ti- Critic/Critical Parent 7) Fe- Trickster 8) Si- Demon Until then however, keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@t5396]

Asura does not follow the eight function model.

[@Sharkuterie327]

Hm. I enjoyed this video, but if I wasn't already very familiar with typology, I would have been immediately lost in this description. You go right into details of behavior/processes, comparisons to other types, and examples/archetypes without much of an overview of the function stack to set a framework for the discussion. Perhaps no one else cares, but I wonder if someone new to typology and/or your channel would be able to keep up with this one.

I ask your view because I am an immigrant I do not have enough space for discussion .. and when I worked as a construction assistant then my boss gave me which choice I would take as an area of ​​expertise ... I was an istp man I have ever felt carpentry as well as electricity and I both like it but my boss said that I have to choose one of those fields of work and I'm starting to get confused ... can you give me a logical view ... so in this decision which one should I take as someone with an ISPT personality .... ??? carpenter (framing house) ..... electrician (wireman) ..... ????

Why in all heck would KZbin decide to put a 5 min + ad barely 5 minutes into your video? What the heck are they thinking? D: BAD algorithm, down! Your discussion of the "purest" ISTP made me think of my uncle.

[@AsuraPsych]

Not sure about why it did that, I purposefully have "non-skip-able ads" disabled on my videos because I don't want viewers to have to sit through that. Either way, thanks for watching!

[@dirtywhitellama]

@@AsuraPsych I could skip it - it just blows my mind that youtube thinks anybody would actually want to sit through an ad whose length is 50%+ of the actual video content they selected. Normally I try to be patient about ads on channels I enjoy because I know that supports you guys!

Good point here. Me personally got feed up with it and purchased the KZbin premium removing all ads. Which is their goal but I gotta say it's worth it.
