[@SmittenKitten.]

@@christiancarter255 ;) We actually get along really well! It was a little rough in the beginning because I couldn't read him AT ALL. I stuck it out, though, because there was something different about him. We've been together well over a decade now. I've learned over the years that, IMO, ISTPs are the best type. I've learned so much just by watching how he handles stressful situations. I never try to make him do stuff he'd hate, I never try to keep him from doing stuff he likes, and it's been working out great! :D

Hello fellow ISTP's, I have a question. Is it just me or I can't learn by reading from a textbook, but if someone explains it in clear detail and I see diagrams it makes more sense? I tend to remember the page and what was on it and not the general information I read.

Like I all of a sudden get so stress when someone tells me to do a favor for them but if i do it on my free will, i'm fine with it. Just checking to see if i'm normal or not

yes, it makes me really angry lol. i cant stand anyone telling me what to do, even if i was going to do it in the first place

[@kieranwoodward575]

You're not a normal person, but you are a normal ISTP. Normal people suck and that's why society sucks, but once you stop feeling bad about who you are, you can break free and live your life the way you want. Embrace freedom, silence and spontaneity whenever you can. Endure control, chatter and expectations while you're dependent on other people as those are the terms they set.

[@tonamg53]

I don’t think ISTP are stubborn at all. They are just one of the most logical people. If you want them to do something they need to understand the reasonings and logic behind it. If you can explain your logic to ISTP, you will find that they are the most co-operative, easy going people ever and can change their mind in an instant. If you can’t explain your logic then you’re illogical so why should anyone, not just ISTP, listen to you anyway? So its not stubborn because stubborn is unwilling to change no matter what reasons. ISTP can change their mind in an instant if you use proper logic and reasonings with them. I think ISTP got falsely labelled as stubborn from these illogical people who uses their emotions more than logical thinking. They don’t want to admit they are illogical people so they blamed it on ISTP as being stubborn instead. Sadly, the majority of people in the world are like these, more emotions than logic. Take a Guess at where most of the problems in this world originated from? I personally have a nickname for these illogical people... “idiots”

[@gallus9399]

preach. ISTP here but i think we should balance emotions and logic. anyway, nice comment.

[@Esiaa]

I totally agree. I've been labeled as stubborn at work because I'm unwilling to do something illogical. I've tried to explain that this idea is stupid and it's a waste of time to do it because the outcome will either be the same as before or worse, but nobody listens 🤷‍♀️

[@kynosouraludentes8308]

There's a cardboard box in my closet that stores a couple of my things. I think it's fine as a storage unit, but for some reason my family wants the box gone. They're not talking about the stuff inside. They want the cardboard box gone, which means I'll have to clean and organize the stuff inside. I don't really wanna d that because for now everything is stored and confined, and it's not really blocking anything. Am I stubborn?

For Istp's, I think when you really get mature, you'll understand that you should be responsible for those who does love you....

[@crossXFaed]

💖

[@crossXFaed]

I believe with young ISTPs, what they need is someone patient, understanding, faithful and doesn't give up on them even when they push away. I'm experiencing this with my on/off younger ISTP boyfriend. He keeps calling us off and getting back on for half a year. But this time he seems really set on wanting to emotionally/socially mature first.

[@larapunk3532]

@@crossXFaed yeah true, they need to feel totally safe

[@crossXFaed]

@@larapunk3532 Yes, I think feeling "secure" and "perfectly ready" are good expressions to use. But what I admire in my ex is that instead of rejecting bonds completely seeing it as a hassle, he actually expresses desire in wanting to build on his emotional/social skills to experience that love he misses out on. Sadly his problem solving, efficiency leaning and immediate nature makes him feel it's more beneficial to build these skills away from me and practice with less intimate connections instead. It doesn't help we're currently limited in first person interactions due to COVID, etc. In my ex's case, he really would prefer if I could be available up close on a constant basis. Flexibility and adaptability in intimate relationships are something he struggles to adopt because of the emotional/intimate aspects that ISTPs generally struggle to communicate back and forth in.

[@larapunk3532]

@@crossXFaed yeah, agree with that too, so what's your type 😅

[@stephenbrady5220]

I'm ISTP, used to be really shy but I've always wanted to turn my weaknesses into strengths so I started singing karaoke in public and got a sales job. Point being we can overcome our natural weaknesses (or at least me, can't generalize). Also, equally proficient at being a nerd and jock. I was always trying to hide my double agent life from these two sects (who hated each other) in school. On any given day I could be playing Yugioh in the library with my nerd friends, dominating in basketball with my more sporty friends or reading a book by myself. One word would probably be multifaceted. Still don't know if I'm a robot acting like a person or a person acting like a robot. It can literally change by the minute. From warm and helpful, to cold and dangerous if provoked. Anybody else relate? Comment a brief bio of you as an ISTP. Also, great video. Super accurate for the most part.

[@MrDevil-jb1fl]

[@angy101rulz]

[@revenant1092]

@@vkdeen7570 exactly. I know some istps who aren't in sports. Like Macro Pierre White (Chef), James Hetfield, etc. If I were to tell I introspect myself and I think I am more istp-ish. I dont play much sports (except for cycling) and I love interacting with objects and foods like crafting, and cooking. Sometimes music. And I feel more energy with it working alone and honing my skills towards to some areas I like especially in woodworking, interior designing (I hate it as a college course), and cooking.

[@vkdeen7570]

@@revenant1092 yes that sounds very istp to me. it's often sports and outdoors stuff but not always. any thing that is mechanical or physical where u see and feel and experience results... especially where u put things together like ingredients, like notes, like pieces... istps love. even stuff like video games are right up istps streets where they can sit alone and master. I personally love sports playing and analysing... but also cooking, video games, building stuff etc not so much instruments tho but it's all in the istp remit. ps many top composers are/were istp. it's the virtuoso characteristic

[@cariuangyok]

so that's why my last relationship not working. I am INTJ and my ex is ISTP. when we fight I often be like, what's the problem, what can we do to achieve them? and he goes by: Nah, I don't like that, you are doing it wrong, and always expect I will understand his objective and goals without even trying to explain, and always complaining i am doing it wrong without understanding the reason. lol

[@crossXFaed]

They're not the best at communicating their emotions verbally, especially in the moment. It took me a whole week away from the tension to review the first rocky six months I spent with my ex. You need to learn what makes them tick, and what ticks them off. They either need to be willing to communicate with you, and/or you have to be willing to make that extra effort to understand their inner workings with time and observation spent.

[@yves3118]

I’m and ISTP, I’m sorry yeah we can be like that 😅 But most of the time communication is key and just saying things straight out without beating around the bush helps. And it’s also hard for us to open up, I feel weak if I explain my feelings or what I want. It takes a longer time to build up trust and all that

[@sientwa6102]

@@yves3118 when Istp's like someone... Is it normal that they show the person some of their Hobbys and talk about it and even talk about their whole family story and saying that their family is and always was good?

Don't feel bad about it, I at some point came to realise my bf really really cares about me, although sometimes I still feel like strangling him (but now i understand it's an entirely different way of thought processing), but I really like him too. We used to get into arguements a lot because he thought I am not making time for him or what ever but it was really hard for me to communicate my thoughts XD I know if an INTJ finds someone they really care about, they really will try to make it work, so I am sorry that didn't work out for you :( my bf is probably the best bf ever and cares for me so much in his own ways aghdklaf

ISTP: - I gauge people by their reactions to my provocations (trying to tone it down now) - I am surprisingly an International Relations major but this is mostly because I enjoy watching people descend into chaos with a passion and the idea of fixing a crisis. I am good with fixing and assembling stuff though. IKEA instructions are good enough. - I hate teamwork with loose deadlines. Give me a deadline. I will get it done in perfection. Just don't rush me, update me, or ask me about it, and let me procrastinate. - If someone cries, whines, or acts generally immature or rude you're not in my life anymore. Otherwise, I'm very amicable with people I like.

As a kid growing up, my mom and grandma thought I was practically a genius, and made sure I knew it, so throughout middle and high school, I did horrible in every class just to get rid of the expectation that I'd do great things and stuff. Not smart for me, and my life isnt that great at all, but it makes a ton of sense now

[@stephenbrady5220]

You shorted us 18 seconds or so..

[@zariahkhi]

I want to have my own family but personal freedom and lifestyle is important to my being

[@faezejamali6602]

the guy body language is MOOD

[@sofialu226]

This sounds kinda like my brother. A yet inmature ISTP, but he is starting to move. (he is 22)

[@antholito]

Don't mind me, just another INTP questioning what I am again

[@KarinKishimei]

I'm confused. I think I'm isfp but I have istp traits too. I just assume I'm isfp because I'm female (most istp are male) and I feel like I prefer to be ISFP. But, I'm not creative and I'm more to techies person.

[@VTdarkangel]

You may very well be an ISTP. The question is do you have personal reasons and logic for your choices or do you base your choices on how you personally feel about things? Most ISTPs are male, but not exclusively so. Don't assume that you're ISFP simply because you are female.

[@saLbeilalala]

Maybe try doing this test www.16personalities.com hope it helps! :)

[@cheltheartist1654]

I'm an ISFP and I can say that ISTP is very similar but I think you should do a bit more research.

[@larapunk3532]

Cognitive functions would help

[@wowsports8800]

Learn about the cognitive functions

[@unstoppablesquid1232]

How can I trust this one if the last istp video was so different?

[@simplysociopathic211]

Don't know if it's same for other ISTPs but I feel irritated when people talk to me, like leave me the f alone. human interaction is a waste of energy and for me (even though I only ever lazy around 💀). I feel like interacting with another human outside the screen is alot of effort and I'm not that willing to put more effort into interacting with anyone (For one I'm a horrible conversation starter), I like being alone listening to music and get lost in my thoughts.

[@innatecharisma]

Urgh what. I thought I was an ENFP but I resonate with this too bloody much. Wtf

[@discoverweekly4199]

YUp, my sister is definitely an ISTP -an INTP

[@Clownsterritory]

took the test and I got: istp .. then took the istp vs isfp and I got isfp.. I’m so frustrated and wish I could get examined and get the result instead.

[@barraman.]

Please do the enneagram test in your website

[@Eikorunu]

We should stop labelling personalities cos humans are so much more complex than 16 personality types.

[@loafoffloof3420]

ISTP is the superego of INFP's

[@shlerkamal1283]

Lol that’s interesting, can you explain more

[@amielmaramag6099]

now im sure that i am an ISTP

[@nondumisonkosi8395]

Me ME MEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[@Shadow77999]

Lol

[@stephenbrady5220]

Writes book.. Never finishes..

[@NB-qy7ku]

Does anyone have advice on starting and getting a conversation started with istp? Any advice?

[@user-sw9um8yb6c]

I am istp but like I fall in love very easily? I only fall in love for high expectation boys which is bts or anime boys so like I’m gonna be single forever xD

[@poddopetals]

I'm a lesbian and yet I fall for BTS 🤣 They're kind of hard not to fall for

[@serendipityya1793]

Hi I'm army and istpt

[@devbennett8606]

As an Istp I know that 3d men will never be like 2d men so I'm gonna be alone forever. Which is fine since I'm an Istp xD

[@katherinemalapit1354]

I'm an istp and i love anime boys who are not only good looking but have a very complex or outstanding character. My anime crushes tend to be underrated or weird lol. Plus, my favourite characters such as Shinobu Kocho from demon slayer are really interesting too!

[@komiavilesgay]

how did i went to isfp to an istp omfg

[@leo290702]

a diamond is a piece of stone to an ISTP

[@anahitamirzarazi4424]

I can't tell what I am, I thought I'm an entp but istps fit too. I even checked the cognitive functions but I can't say what I use the most. In the test, Ni and Ne were the same, Ti and Te were the same, Se was higher then si and fe higher then fi.

[@katherinemalapit1354]

Hehe i can tell since you like Dazai.

[@estefaniamart8695]

I'm in the same situation, I fit in both

[@honeyslevin7645]

What the freak this is accurate except on the sporty side

[@youyou-wv1gw]

I am an istp and exol also 🙌

[@billylong9699]

ISTPs are known for starting conflicts and stirring the pot like ENTPs. They are similar to INTJs as well but they are more mechanical and good with their hands.

[@nodozhit]

I must be a textbook example of an ISTP personality because I couldn't describe myself any more rationally without giving up personal details. Now I would like to hear some of the negative tendencies of being an ISTP personality type (so I can work on myself a little more).

[@morningstarhomestead]

They mention fearing commitment (basically flakiness) in the video

[@nodozhit]

@@morningstarhomestead you might be on to something but flakiness is such a strong word to relate to not wanting to commit to other folks' whims; and word is bond. ISTPs like me, might be the worst kind of people to lean on for unconditional emotional support but in my defense, I try to be a man of my word. That's important to me. If I say I will, then that's what I'm ready, willing, and able to commit to doing. ISTPs like me, live in the moment and are very flexible. Therefore we get caught up in the moment and lose track of time quicker than others but we also can adjust and catch up quicker too. Personally, I pride myself on being dependable and even transparent, but I do not spread myself thin. As a matter of fact, I'm more like "out of sight out of mind." And I don't wallow in how someone else might feel about me not spending extra time lounging with them because ISTPs like to do their own thing anyway with no holds barred and move on quickly

[@WadWizard]

If this is accurate im thinking i just started out on the wrong foot and jumped to conclusions based on one istp, cause this sounds almost exactly like the kind of person ive said i want to be with, i dont want to rely too much on others and i dont want others to rely too much on me, id like someone who could do their own thing while i do my own thing and just kinda be in the same space at least when thats where we happen to be for whatever it is we're doing. The problem i had with said istp was that they tended to not feel the need to explain themselves, that is... they would say things that to me were reduced to a point where they could mean all sorts of different things but they wouldnt explain/define exactly what it was they implied by it when they used it. And likewise they said that they didnt get anything from what i wrote which i could say the same for them, whatever all it was, perhaps the focus on personal observation and connections with no real proof and using more abstract or intuitive leaps of logic which might be meaningless to someone else, or more the lack of structure in my thought and writing. I need to meet and get to know more istps before i can really say much more, i am finding it interesting how similar we are though in a sense despite being seeming opposites, in socionics we would have the conflict intertype relation, your top two functions are my bottom two and same the other way around, your dominant function is my blind spot and mine is yours, as well your secondary function is my "demon" function which is supposed to be like the most disliked out of all.. but also perhaps where part of where ones urges or habits lie. But thats just the relation between istps and enfps. I probably made that kinda about me but i dont know anything else to add, and omes view is kinda informed by ones relationship with that type functionally, i tend to much more naturally like isfps,its entps that ive heard be more down with istps, so i probably wont say much more untill i learn more... unless i do, then ill write paragraphs :| I could probably think a bit more on it and speculate based on functions, i do know i*n*tps pretty well i think and a little about is*f*ps, but if so itll be later copy pasted from a writing program. I thought this was gonna be short but here i go again.

[@nodozhit]

@@WadWizard I like your insight and can agree with you overall. And I hope you feel free to lay it all out whenever. Regardless what is or isn't relative to the different personality types, we can still learn a lot from one another. Understanding one another an applying knowledge is what I think is the key to the cultivation and contingency of our collective consciousness. We are all emotional beings living a spiritual experience. Some of us are just a little more in tuned than others. But once an individual fellow figures out his own keys to inner balance, he will be able to wholly see how he fits in perfectly and how we're all connected, regardless. By the way, I'm into all that astronomical philosophically theoretical soul searching for the big picture meaning of Mankind's ability to manipulate the manifestations of mastery of everything that the universe offers us. And life is like contributing to the chronicles of the greatest story ever told. On one page, you'll see the ISTPs as the naturally gifted opportunists who can thrive off reacting to sensually sensational stimulations. And seizing the moment is what distinguishes ISTPs as the free flowing spirits. While on the other page, ENFPs intuitively know and can perceive themselves as the true free spirits. But, they are motivated by constantly seeking out emotional stimulation and instant gratification in any given moment. But the only way we all will find our own individual balance and pivotal point is by tapping into our own inner polar opposition and inclinations. For instance, I still have to try really hard to stay tapped into sticking with any of long term commitments or plans that I set for myself. So I focused on strengthening my judging function using more discernment about what's at stake if I don't follow through. I also try to manage my time in leisure or social outings by self evaluating hypotheticals beforehand. I believe that and doing what I think would make my -deceased- grandmother proud of me is what helps strengthen my intuition function and keeps me overall focused on my short term goals. And while I'm around others or just out and about in social settings, I try my best to be as mindful and considerate of others as I can be (without being a doormat or a tool, of course). This attitude allows me to easily tap into my feeling and extroverted functions. Basically, what I'm saying is that since it's easier for me to shut my mind off in the manner of just relying upon my senses and focusing my attention outwardly, I have to consciously tap into negating my ISTP tendency to get caught up in the flow of the moment that's pretty much derived from ISTPs' strong sensing/perceiving functions. And that forms more of an introverted reaction to being in the here and now than it is in comparison to making the solid decisions like those personality types with strong intuitive/judging functions that tends to counteract instead. On another note, if you can humor me and imagine watching the movie "Forest Gump" with the volume down for a reference point, I think you will see Forest Gump as an excellent example of a simple ISTP personality type. And I believe Jenny would be an excellent example of a distressed female ENFP.

[@gabriellavictory3080]

This video lays it out there pretty well.

[@mz.capslocklee8232]

That part😍

[@pandihali8424]

I donno if I’m a ISTP or ISTJ they both sound like me

[@joe_zupko]

ISTJs seem way more into following "the rules" and enjoy more routine and traditional things. Think police officer ISTPs are more likely to say F the rules and stir things up. Think motorcycle rider Both are very logical and good with their hands. I've gotten these 2 confused before as well because I don't relate to most ISTPs or ISTJs

[@rheavenice]

ISTP-A 👋🏻

[@katherinemalapit1354]

I LOVE HISOKA TOO OMG NICE PFP

[@jeffdizzy6410]

Accurate !

[@mahzabinrafah4319]

If i am an introvert, won't i be shy to talk to others and won't like to engage in games and competition with others

[@larapunk3532]

Introversion is not about being shy, it's about being more secretive, quite and often need alone time more than other people

[@sc9573]

My job lets me travel and live out of hotels and i love it. Now it makes sense why :)

[@Barry_ibeh]

Name of the job?

[@revmeno4572]

Whats the name of the job?

[@speedy_comet]

Any ISTPs here like aviation?

[@kenbagwell8551]

BINGO!

[@fredericferrer1808]

myself described.

[@Ferrachu]

My ISTP boyfriend doesnt provoke for a reaction and is pretty quiet. Not at all chaotic. A bit more outdoorsy but definitely no athlete.

[@rowanneal6471]

Ex Istp here, Now istj.

[@mitsuki6662]

😂😂😂

[@arlettasloan6453]

Hmm .. this makes it look like ISTPs are dead beat dads. That's hardly fair.

[@rockyxav_ior606]

I think my closest cousin is an ISTP female now.

[@anitahendricks]

♥

[@amycb5548]

So accurate and I even have the twins 😁

[@mckinleywalcher2593]

Honestly I think I’m just depressed
