ISTP tier-ranking the 16 personalities

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: 😱... 😬...💡!

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.

[@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 ;)

[@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.

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."

The only one put in danger would be themselves if they do things on their side, cause for sure they wouldn't team up if they'll "end up annoying even more" no matter what. Yeah, as they rightfully should feel when they just had good intentions instead of someone simply refusing to cooperate or harming your plans.

The ISTPs are underestimating the self-destructive conviction of INFJs of not needing to be in front of someone who is not going to dissimulate how annoying they find the INFJs.

[@BartholomewHenryAllen]

Believe it or not, ESTPs are actual soil enthusiasts. I swear, planting and shouting out plant names is their favorite pass time. It's the only real way ISTPs seem to get along. They're basically taking care of the competent side of the ESTP.

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

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 . . .

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.

[@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]

This is the most entertaining tier list so far for me!

[@benlechner6352]

Loved it! As an INTP I'm really clumsy and I personally don't know anything or care about what plants are good to it, where to find water etc... but if the ISTP teaches me once I'll be able to do it without them

[@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

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 😅

[@michael_koski]

Loved it, it was absolutely hilarious. XD Was a little sad to put in the leach category, as I have an ISTP brother-in-law, and ISTP friend (I thought he was INTP for the longest time though) and we get along pretty well -- but yeah, I _would_ be leaching.... Great job, Kristin! -- Ana (infj)

[@arlettasloan6453]

Don't be sad. It was situational specific leechdom.

[@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]

Great and funny vid. Definitely relate to a certain degree as a fellow Ti-dom myself (INTP). This is anecdotal but I've always found it kinda odd that ISTP's have worse/more unhealthy inferior Fe.

Especially those with common interests. I do wonder why that is the case within the skits?

IxTPs despise Escape. They view them as crazy people on hallucinogenic drugs. Even as brothers.ESTPs are their greatest fears.

There's too many assumptions being thrown around with reversed optimism≈pessimism axis. Especially between Se and Ne.

[@katarzynakonstancjadobrowo9072]

I mean, as an INFP with one ISTP friend (and this is his explicit statement on our relationship) and a few known more loosely, this assessment seems spot on. I am _very_ happy to follow their instructions when it comes to practicalities, and I _am_ in fact slightly unnerved by them. 😂 (Which is of course a me problem, they are objectively perfectly non-unnerving people.)

Never tested as an ISTP but it seems it’s a sort of mindset I can temporarily fall into when very very tired, particularly after intense, prolonged socialising which was not self-initiated but required because of some external parameters I had no control of
