this is the very reason i can't stand school and most of my teachers dislike me. they want me to follow their way of doing shit so badly for no reason and it's so frustrating like i have my own way that makes sense to me and gets the same result as their way so why not let me do it my way??

I’m an ISTP, but I also have employees. It’s yuck managing people and I have to like put on a facade but whatever. Anyway, I made the mistake of telling an employee once that “this is the standard, this is how I do it but idc how you do it as long as the end result is this”. And now, im tryna figure out a way to be like “I know I said idc how you do it but bro, I didn’t know you were gonna go with “slowly”, so you have GOT to stop wasting the time I am paying you for”

I’m an ISTP and I’m the nerd lmao-

[@mrod8578]

@@idrk1507 interesting. I wonder what an ISTP nerd looks like? As an INTP even though they have the same Ti primary logic as ISTPs, the ISTP tends to come off as the more cool, more grounded, less nerdy one. They are very applicative with straight forward solutions (which is part of their cool factor). The INTP tends to come off as the more stereotypical nerd with our heads in a book, researching all sorts of random topics, or with our head in the clouds thinking about the complexity of the universe and trying to discover universal truth. It will sometimes take decades or even a lifetime for Intps ideas, inventions, works or concepts to come to life.

[@idrk1507]

@@mrod8578 I will compare myself with my INTP best friend, so you could get a more in deph idea 1) I have 0 common sense. My INTP friend has much more common sense. 2) I'm a comformist and traditionalist. I deeply belive in sending your children to school, so they get good grades and then a good job My INTP friend doesn't care about education, or at least, not from schools. She aims to homeschool her future children. 3) I'm much more disgorganised than my INTP friend. My room is a mess filled with textbooks and paper. I'm always lazy, often procrastinate, often cram, never do my homework My INTP friend has a tidy room, and never studies- unlike me. Though, she spends all day procrastinating, she's lazy, crams, and doesn't work consistently- just like me. 4) I love perfection. Because I like feeling better than everyone else. I will spend hours and hours studying on subjects I *dislike*, just to appear superior to my classmates. My INTP best friend doesn't care about perfection or feeling superior. She learns about ANATOMY in her free time because it's ''interesting''. But doesn't study for our biology exams... 🤦‍♀ For me, grades > information that isn't on our curriculum

[@mrod8578]

@@idrk1507 That last sentence is definitely true. INTPs prefer studying just for the pleasure and can often neglect studying for academia and grades which of course can cause major imbalances and issues when conforming to society. Albert Einstein struggled with high school and later university for that reason even though he's considered a genius today. He was not a model student in spite of fitting the nerd stereotype. As for common sense I suppose when it come to being more cautious and making predictions she probably is. I think common sense for INTPs and ISTPs are different. When it comes to certain things an ISTP has more common sense I believe but it also depend on the situation and scenario. INTPs can use their past experiences to predict future consequences with relative accuracy. This is where their common sense lies when they can see something happen before it happens with their past experiences and then project it on the future. With an ISTP it's their senses and grounding in the present where they can applicate common sense solutions (something INTPs can often struggle with). PS: You probably never do your homework, procrastinate, and act lazy because sitting down for homework is boring and ISTPs like to do. 😂

Don't worry about trying to "fit into" some stereotype description of a type you got on a test. The tests are inherently flawed and not everyone completely fits the stereotypes anyway. All types have strengths and weaknesses. You just be the best you.

[@DemonSlayer-bv4jp]

Thank you :)

[@mussabsaleem7625]

um You sound like an Istp to me. I m too, and being always in the present, cold and confident is not always the case. What matters most is how you primarily think on situations/life. If you prefer factual information and gather it to form your own opinions that is a Ti trait and Istps love that combined with Se. So yea being not confident and being soft to others is like '-' normal. Personally i have seen myself being a little cold in normal situations but when a person actually needs support i have also noticed that i am providing their emotional needs better than a lot of others.

[@benjaminharmon6541]

I relate to that a lot. Expressing emotion outwardly has to have a clear purpose, otherwise it's just bringing everyone else down without accomplishing anything. It's also really hard to process feelings internally, so a lot of the time less mature ISTPs end up just suppressing everything, making us feel less intensely, which furthers the cycle. Not very much you can do about it at this point, but eventually your son will be more receptive to the message of self care and self compassion, even if it takes many years. I'll take being a badass over being hypersensitive, though.

As an ISTP, 15 years old, I think I might have a stronger than average developed Extroverted Feeling trait compared to others of my type. I always hold back on the things I tell others because I fear they'll get their feelings hurt and say something that gets me upset, too. Better off both parties remaining neutral rather than both getting upset, you know? I feel like people don't really think I'm rude because I decide what to say based on how they'll react. Although, a lot of times, I really do wish I could "call a spade a spade" without getting backlash. If I give you a dirty look, there's probably something I really want to say very bluntly to you, however I am refraining. Also, I just want to point this out since this is a huge stereotype for ISTPs, but I hate engineering/fixing things. I much prefer creating art, music; story writing; and programming (all in mainly a digital form).

[@rego2121]

maybe you're just a healthy ISTP like me. Sometimes ISTP's know what others could feel when they act how they act but still don't GAF

[@shakiraafifi257]

Yeah, i think experience and the thought that we care can make ISTP in a way tolerant with people around. So mostly we shut up to those who we care, and dgaf to those that doesn’t matter. Maybe it can be a good thing, and don’t forget to rekindle our needs too.

[@KiwiiLoka]

Same, my Fe is not as developed for me to become an ISFP for example Yet, i know what are the consequences of telling things blunt and straightforward, so i also would rather avoid It, so i don't waste my energy with arguments, i just wanna peace lol And also, i don't engage into engineering and mechanics either... If i ever have to fix a car if i knew how to, i wouldn't say no to It tho... It's a matter of tastes, i also prefer art and digital things So don't worry, there's just ISTPs less stereotypical than others

INFJ and ISTP's share the same functions in the exact opposite order. I'm an INFJ, seriously Se impaired, so I allways admire the way they simplfy things and find instant creative solutions to problems, how they jump into action, how they know exactly and unapollogetically how to relate/react to "real world", ppl and practical stuff I struggle with. I learn so much from them and they can be great friends. Saying that, I have had a relationship with an ISTP, and would not repeat. At least till they are in a more mature phase of life, where they worked on developing their inferior functions. It started great, since both types are no BS and picky when choosing partners, having long term in mind, so we both appreciated that determination, loyalty and honesty in each other...but...as much as I appreciated his superior Se and saw it as a skill to learn, he was just perplexed by my lack off. He saw me as utterly incompetent, even though it turned out on multiple occasion he could pick up on some planning skills of mine, instead of allways going on an impulse, thinking latter and not being able to admitt I was right in the aftermath, and maybe he should take my opinion into consideration the next time. I was just as perplexed by his innabillty to connect to his own or anyones emotions. It was like watching a two year old trying to solve a complex equation. I literally had to explain to him, word for word how and why he felt the way he did on some occasions and he would just look at me and nod to confirm that is exactly how he felt. That lack of emotional intelligence made him too harsh for me, not being the support I needed, when I was down. He would see me as weakling and that would repell him. I saw him as dry, selfish and cold - where he left me out in. I could listen and learn about cars and how different mechanics of stuff worked and found it really interesting, adding to my knowlege database... He would look down on my interests of meta/phyisics, scientific news and how different branches of science connect over some new findings, psychology and such, looking at it as some kind of fantasy world I was living in, that has no ancoring in real life, even though there is an empirical proof. That insulted my intelligence. All in all, too different to work out as romantic partners. I never got my needs met, to have a supportive partner who values and respects me as an individual. He never got his needs met to have a Se smart, yet submissive partner, who could read but not be hurt by his inferior Fe. Wish we both saw it at the beginning and agreed to be casual lovers for a while, cause both types can handle that type of relationship, if there's mutual honesty. 🤷‍♀️

[@dmsviola1]

Right?? I feel like it's an opposites attract scenario. ISTPs are grounded in reality and thinking, whereas INFPs tend to have trouble getting out of our heads and feels. Also, for me personally, I prefer blunt people. Yeah, it can hurt when the wrong thing is said, but ultimately I'll figure out my hurt feelings or talk it out if they're a reasonable person. It's much better than trying to figure out people who beat around the bush and then leave me sorting through all the various "real" intentions they could have.

Yea, INFP's complete ISTP's because INFP's generally draw an ISTP out of the hard shell they usually place themselves in and an ISTP will ground the INFP from their bizarre thoughts and bring them back to reality. They're interesting and difficult to figure out, but their flightiness generally draws out the creative side of an ISTP and makes it enjoyable.

Now I get ISTP and it fits like a glove. Intuitive bias sucks. I really thought about it and most intuitive Ne conversations and trains of thought are the most incoherent, boring, and unenlightening things...there's no practical application, I don't care...they never get to the point...so I realize I'm a sensor. Just one who enjoys philosophy, science, and useful N-type things.

[@godKiller.369]

I find it interesting that ISTP and ESTP can be a bit defensive about their Ti logic like INTJ and ISFP might be about the practicality of their Ni plans.

[@mudman619]

one word: yup

[@marz_from_mars]

Is being not able to voice out my feelings to others bcz they won't think like me or bcz it's a bother also an istp trait?? Gathering my feelings and thoughts also seem really hard... Is there something wrong with me or is it normal??

[@ysab8lle]

FUCKKK never related to something more

[@chylani]

well, as a fellow istp, I only voice out my feeling and struggle to only 3-5 people in my 22 years of life

Hedy Lamarr: the most beautiful ISTP creature.

[@Politictrolerandenthusiast]

As an INTJ, I see istp as the cooler version of intp but ruder than intp

[@jessikate6385]

So true, I get told so much that I'm too brutally honest. This video explains me to a T. No wonder some people avoid me 😂

[@niceguy8752]

As an ISTJ, I look up to ISTP. Were both similar

[@user-ip1kl9kv4x]

Now I'm just unsure whether or not my personality test is actually correct because I always get istp but I don't really fit to most things that explains an istp. I like to do things myself yes but I often get myself involved in others problems and I always think about past and future I only stay in the present when I am 'bored' I don't how to explain on how I feel but I hope somebody can help confirm with me;;

As istp, this is was relate af

My mom …. Difficult growing up with her as an ENFJ.

[@carrotqueen4066]

My mum is INFJ i think, while i am an ISTP. That's... Quite something.

One word: just impatient lol

[@lordmichael98]

You are pissing me off but very informative of my personality type

[@wernercedillo8797]

I'm either ISFP or ISTP and I just despise saying excuse me if I need to get through at work, I just creep up behind and wait there for you to move or if it's a big crowd or you don't move I'll take the long way around you. For god's sake don't slow walk either or linger around doors, I have places to go people to see. Anyone else relate?😂 Oh and you can give me suggestions and instructions, I'll follow them detailed to a tee, but don't start micromanaging me... Ahem xSTJ.

[@user-vs2yv8ec5e]

I’m kinda like this but more extroverted talking to people if I have to. And run away the moment I get off work. I just put a nice face and don’t give a damn what they are talking about.

[@EmyN]

I respect the no fucks given of ISTPs lol

[@-__-_-.-]

Into reminds me of me.. Manager asking me to clean the cold room and telling me to move stuff, had listed everything needing done so I started. He kept just watching me and all I could say is "you can either watch me or give me a hand. otherwise could you not watch me. " I realised as I said it how blunt it was, but he left anyway so problem solved 😅

[@aaronburdon221]

I love the vague list of things to do. It's my favorite. fix this, clean that etc etc. As long as they leave me the f alone, it'll get done with shocking speed, accuracy and vigor. I have a saying at work. I don't give an F who does it, as long as it gets done.

[@NaryMania]

Oh Yeh.. My favourite type - ENTP

[@magic13christispage]

Haha, that's kind of funny, I recently interacted with an istp who says the only type he doesn't quite like are the entps. Interesting!

[@loraborealis2551]

I’m an ISTP married to an entp.

[@dinkin_flicka14]

[@lucticide]

I just searched up if Kevin had an INFP version of this video, and then I just realized I’d wasted 45 seconds of my life. It was on the sidebar recommends/similar videos section thingy or whatever you call it.. -INFP

Why it reminded me of Sherlock don't know.
