ISTP Explained: What It Means to be the Virtuoso Personality Type
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Reserved, audacious, tactile and tough-minded, the ISTP male or female is an introvert who is not afraid to get their hands dirty. They are emotionally restrained yet driven by their impulses. ISTPs communicate in concrete terms and can become very adept in their use of tools and techniques. Often quiet and terse with their words, ISTP verbal talents tend to go underdeveloped. Instead, they are more concerned with developing mastery with practical skills that involve coordination, precision and craftsmanship.

Can we just all agree that this whole personality type things is more accurate than zodiac signs 😂
Yes. I'm an istp and can relate a lot, but Pisces is just...
@Alan Poeta yeah, because personality=who you are
@@qdbcnv6798 HEY IM AN ISTP AND PISCES TOO LMFAO
@@aeriesdreaming6937 Cool!!
Because your full constellations are not revealed with one zodiac sign. In total one has about thirty zodiac signs in different aspects of life. Those are not concluded with your sun sign, which is the one you look at most often.
I have trouble learning in a classroom and prefer to teach myself using the materials given.
Agreed, to some extent
same i am like it will be twice time waste as i willlll have to make effort even if the teacher explained best as i wanna know everything then let's just learn before nd debate the class or question the teacher then learn
Yeh
Same
We the same twin
I can’t wait for the physically motivated part.
we all know that istp can easily learn a new skilled trade quickly ... but which of these 2 do you think is the most suitable for ISTP ...? electrician or mechanic ... ???..
@@antondeannova7016 I think mechanic cause it's slightly more sensing heavy. That could just be me though.
@@joshg3902 can you give a reason why you chose a mechanic that is more suitable for ISTP while the dominance of ISTP is TI ...?
@@antondeannova7016 It's just true for me personally. I'm sure ISTPs would make great electricians. Maybe the preference has to do with exposure to what at a young age in addition to personality type.
@@joshg3902 thx buddy gbu..
The learning one hits hard. Like if I plan on doing something on my own and then someone tells me to do it I immediately change my mind
Sameee
Relatable
That's getting influenced by others though and that too against your own self-interest.
I won't change my mind based on what others say. - INTJ
@@cinema2748 depends on how serious it is. Its easy for us to immediately change our mind just to prove a point, it’s not that serious, stop worrying 😅. Kinda a bad habit when you’re not aware of it. ISTPs be wondering, why the f*** are these people mad at us 🤣🤣🤣
relatable af
ISTP here, this described me very well. Introspection, learning by doing, opposition to rules and processes, good at improvising when the shit hits the fan, driven by impulses and instincts, lone wolf with a few very close friends, resist being controlled by others, hate planning- prefer trial and error method, not good at small talk- enjoy deeper conversations. Almost scary accurate description of me….!!
Yup that's me, especially the hating small talk and lone wolf. Thanks for putting all that down fellow ISTP.
I know right! It's actually pretty scary how it described me perfectly with each point😳
@@GutsEnthusiast For sure! Not sure it applies for either of you, but even the part where this video described in some ways that ISTP's are more social maybe than other I's. Like we enjoy going to parties, and this gives us energy, but I definitely do NOT want to be around people all the time. Crazy accuracy and detail in that video.
just like me
It’s called being ambivert. It’s the same for me as an istp.
ISTP here, very accurate
we all know that istp can easily learn a new skilled trade quickly ... but which of these 2 do you think is the most suitable for ISTP ...? electrician or mechanic ... ???..
Anton Deannova mechanic probably it seems more practical and that’s definitely what I’d prefer
agreed
@@antondeannova7016 as an electrician, that can stage 3 a pinto engine, I would say it depends on what mood you are in! And what skill you are developing at any given time such as trying to remember what the race line is while doing another lap of the Nuenberg ring or what the Oxygen toxicity you are running on whatever random ship wreck you've "dropped the shot" on!
same!
Proud istp female. My looks are different than what i really am. Im not social, i was a tomboy growing up,fixed things , hate being stereotyped. I was always a social rebel. I love working with my hands. Im a healer. Acts of service is my love language. I have more emotional reactions to children and animals than adults.
SAMEE
The tomboyish part is really accurate for me 🤣👏
omg istp female here. And you just spoke whats on my mind
Its fuckin accurate
@@jeffieblack3435 wowww describes me well ! 😊
"they are good at handling technical problems but can stumble when it comes to managing interpersonal issues" SO TRUE. I'd rather fix something than think about my relationships.
Stoic, less emotional (than most other women). Very spontaneous, hate feeling restrained, either with rules or pointless agenda. This is a very accurate depiction of me 😊
Hey girl🤜🤛 i feel ya. Nothing worse than hearing women crying about their loser partners. Id rather do something productive. I also hate social parties. Too much judgement because i dont fit the mold they want to put me in.
i keep feeling like im asociopath or somethin cuz i dont cry like 3 family members died and i was fine turns out im an istp
@@AmericaSucksBalls I also used to believe I'm slightly sociopathic, but it turns out I'm just a Virtuoso🤣
@@siddharthsharma8940 same 💀
Same here lemme holla at you
Is it just me or does the beat go hard
This is scarily accurate. It literally describes me to a t, even the indulging myself into food and beverages, but later on starting to get more interested in keeping in shape. (I was a little chubby, but have lost 10kg so far)
Congrats on the weight loss!
Congrats! Do keep it up.
same i used to be really fat but i've lost 20kg
I lost 20kg too! Still got 10kg to lose tho
This description is so accurate it gives me goosebumps!! I’m rebellious asf, I don’t follow instructions, hate rules and obligations, always been crafty.. YOLO. To all my istp’s

Istp here. I wanted to become a surgeon since i was 10. But i failed ( wasn't acepted in medical school) because of all the theoretical stuff you have to learn. So now i study engineering
Im also really bad at theoretical stuff as an istp. Too bad for us.
omg same but I'm still in highschool

'able to squeeze in time for things they suddenly have an urge to do' is what I'm currently doing watching this video 💀
One of my best friends is an ISTP-T and he’s a route setter at our climbing gym, very into psychedelics, downright refuses to communicate with his words, likes a routine but hates being held to it, and is almost completely shut down emotionally from the outside looking in but he says he has a very complex inner world.
Sounds like m…. I mean a fun guy
Had a long-winded journey from INFP, INTP, INTJ, to ISTP. Among the reasons why it didn't click immediately are the stereotypes surrounding ISTPs, such as being good at craftsmanship, tools, inventions, machinery, and are known to be spontaneous daredevils of few words. I'm not all that, but my function stack just says otherwise.
What I do relate with the ISTP mindset is my ability to find a solution to everything, esp. concerning technology, communications, planning, etc. I have a knack for healthy physical and mental activities. I also have the drive to overcome any challenge, so I tend to learn new skills, big or small, throughout my journey, convincing everyone that I'm adaptable and learn really quick. I did hear that ISTPs have the uncanny ability to be crazy good at anything they put their mind into.
Overall, I understand that stereotypes exist not as a generalization, but as a means for us to grasp the principles behind. Being good at physical crafts is simply a byproduct of an ISTP's lone virtuoso mindset ("guess I'll do it myself" type of thinking). Impractical and unskilled people frustrate ISTPs, so they learn skills to become independent and self-sufficient. Crafts don't have to be an indicator for an ISTP. If you see a self-sufficient, problem-solving, adaptable loner, there's a high chance that they are an ISTP.
I have to agree with your first point. I'm not very good in craftmenship and inventions even if I learn through hands on experience. The rest of it is pretty accurate but I'm a little too clueless in the mechanics aspect to be perfectly fit to that.
I'm definitely self sufficient though and try to do everything myself because I either don't want help or just decide that I might as well do it
I’m glad I’m not the only one watching these videos
I'm an istp and just found out my best friend is also an istp. This vid described me so well. I hate schedules so much to the point it gives me anxiety and when I find my days planned to the brim I get very anxious and cancel most of them. Then I just chill and relax
lol
I find myself more of an ISTP and yet I like scheduling and organizing my tasks, I struggle not procrastinating...
Definitely feel that idea of introspection and formulating ideas within. As an artist I think a lot about ideas for art when I'm alone and doing tasks or just while walking.

“Perfer to work with technology, tools and machinery than deal with people”
Yes
ISTP here. This is very accurate. I appreciate the usefulness of a schedule,but,really want to stick to one. I like being self taught at my own pace without being constantly being monitored. I like doing stuff than just thinking about it endlessly even if I don't get the task right. I'd rather learn by trail and error method than thinking about it endlessly or waiting for the right time
Was frustrated when i remembered 4 years ago i took the test and scored as an INTP and realized after watching several videos that it just seemed off... i took the test again today and got ISTP-A. Both were accurate for who i was at the time. It still spooks me how accurate ISTP-A breaks down how i function today. 100% bang on about being blue collared myself ( electrician / welder ). And the thing about planning and goal setting is that i feel if i spend too much time planning it ends up turning into another form of procrastination. And if i focus on the end goal too much i end up limiting my achievements to the limited knowledge i have at that given time. I dont like limits :) my interests span is pretty wide too but i get bored easily. im currently forcing myself to play the electric guitar. im pretty decent with my hands but man does it feel weird switching between cords
YEAHHHH ME TOOO I got INTP before but I eventually got ISTP which matches me WAYYYY better
This lady's voice is so soothing, she sounds like a humanoid AI
its jarring how this is so accurate. As an ISTP myself i agree with almost all of what they said. I love doing technical things, so I don’t know why i took up business😂 I already know im gonna have a hard time with it.
I've taken business too :(
I'll be starting MBA next year.
I have no other option left.
I failed miserably in science
My sister is an ISTP and she's a real bad-ass. Cool and aloof to the bone. She has a caring side, but it manifests itself in ways that always takes you by surprise.
I have two ISTPs at work place and ... I realy LIKE how they do their job. Very clever, don't waste times with unescesary things, quick thinking. I don't mind of their lack emotion or emphaty. By the way, I am INFJ.
I'm INFJ-A married to an ISTP-A. I agree with you 100%.
As an ISTP the risk taking behaviour is spot on, all my hobbies have almost killed me and I wouldn't have it any other way
Same
xD
LMFAOO BRO FR!?
🤣 . I’m the opposite, even though I am also into danger. I like looking for Moore efficient ways of minimizing injury and danger, so I prefer to have counters for things rather than blindly throw myself into situations I don’t need to be in just for a thrill. I still enjoy the thrill of a ride, but I enjoy the unexpectedness of the ride more than the emotional pain that comes with injury.
@@JohnDoe-pd4jo Lmao too relatable
Some of this is very accurate, but the rest is extremely far off. I took the test twice and both times a got this.
tests aren't accurate and 16 personalities even less. U should read abt cognitive functions for a correct typing
we all know that istp can easily learn a new skilled trade quickly ... but which of these 2 do you think is the most suitable for ISTP ...? electrician or mechanic ... ???..
Yo nice pfp
@@jessedunn5563 and you haven't decided ...? where to istp ..? electrician or auto mechanic ..?
@@antondeannova7016 what
no matter how many times i take the test, i keep getting this. but i cant relate to anything in this video
you’re probably an istj or intj
the test aren't very accurate, you should look into the cognitive functions
try doing the keys2cognition test, i always got mistyped as istp on 16personalities but im entp lmao
you sound like istp
Me too!
“ it can be difficult to tell how they feel by looking at their face”. That one gives me laugh. 8th grade at a parent teacher conference, my science teacher told my mom that he can show me and F or an A n like a project or test and I wouldn’t react at all.
As one myself, I really liked this description of ISTPs.
As I've rolled into my 50's I've become all about my physicality, almost exactly as described in this video. I am also a lone wolf and rules are for suckers. There's more but I have stuff to do.
Welp, this describes my life in a 6-minute video. Accurate read on the ISTP personality type.
I'm an istp and everything this video said sounds very true
I think I've mistyped so hard. I've been convinced I was an INFP 9 for a long time. Now im looking at ISTP 7 and I'm floored. Have I been that unaware of myself?
bro wtf me too
Sameee
ENFJ here, I'm trying to delve deep into understanding my opposite type and honestly I've never had a harder time understanding someone 😅but it's really eye opening and I've met some ISTPs in my life before. Even though we have few things in common, they are some of the COOLEST people ever. They're like the silent badass and it's really fascinating to see them in their element.
you sound like a healthy ENFJ unlike my unhealthy ENFJ friend whom I grew up with. After losing a lot of his closest friends and family he started demanding recognition for every little thing that he's done and even things he had absolutely nothing to do with in order to feel better about himself. A healthy ENFJ or any type for that matter gives from their heart and doesn't "demand" recognition but earns it with kindness. The best way for an ISTP to open up to you is to talk less and listening more with little "control" as possible in my opinion. Give an ISTP what they give others which is silence with a smile and they'll find you interesting instead of just annoying 🙂👍🏼but of course not all ISTP's are created equal so take this with a grain of salt.
@@RevRideReason That is MUCH appreciated advice. I'm actually working on writing a book with ENFJ and ISTP personality types so knowing how to really interact and connect with them (with anyone) is important. I've had seasons where I've forced my values onto people bc I just felt so strongly about what's best for them, but if I've learned anything from the ISTP, its that freedom is incredibly important. People will come to you when they need you.
@@jojonas4125 well said and that's so cool that you're writing a book. I really hope it goes well for you. Good stuff Jo 😃✌🏽
I didn't understand what math teacher taught me, but after I come home and and watch my note book for several min.. That was so easy
Fr same
I was mistyped as INTP. I read more in to the other types and was like, wait. Injuring myself daily by climbing trees, playing every sport I could including extreme skiing and weight training, and teaching myself to change my own brakes on a whim just didn't make sense for INTP, and some explanations annoyed me. I fixed my garbage disposal, dishwasher, and microwave in a day after waiting for the man in my life to do it.
My last job was literally made for me by the company due to ability to analyze and fix things that weren't working for the company (policies, procedures) and I became the unofficial tech lady.
I may have had a bias when taking last time. This is WAY more me.
I‘m scared of how accurate this is 😀
3:04 "Nevertheless ISTPs who persist in their education can do well as surgeons"
Don't make excuses that because you're an ISTP you can't thrive in classroom settings. Because to become a surgeon you absolutely must thrive and excel in classroom settings. You still need to take education and your grades seriously. Only then will you have infinite number of career options
ISTP personality wouldn’t want to be a surgeon. Maybe an engineer. And you can learn engineering through autodidactic means. You can’t be a surgeon and avoid dealing with people which would be sandpaper on the soul of an ISTP.
@@robertzehm Well the body is a system and like a machine as well. And surgery is one of the specialty that least interacts with patients. I can see plenty of reason why an ISTP would want to be a surgeon. And the career is mentioned in the video as well
I bet you're an ISTJ

@@sfam5920 m8 stop trying to talk about a type you know nothing about. As an ISTP female this vid was incredibly accurate and honestly i could never see an ISTP wanting to be a surgeon. There are other ways to learn things that we actually *want* to do with our lives
Very accurate!
I am a hvac technician, have a few friends
“Locked”myself away for a year to learn day trading, because I want my freedom and don’t want to be restricted at work
I am hvac technician too !!!!!!!!
this was scarily accurate
I recently took the test to figure out career choices and was given the INTJ, which I know I'm not. Turns out my N/S and J/P are near 50/50. So looked into ISTP female and I literally knew that I found out my personality type. I'm a pure tomboy, thinker not a feeler, I like to make my own schedule and do my own thing, and I love sports (watching and playing). I served in the military (police) and am now trying to figure out what career to look into. I don't want to be a civilian cop, no thanks, and I have a lot of interests and hobbies that inspire me and narrowing stuff down isn't my strong suit. I literally think I can do everything 🤣.
I am also the same way! I'm also looking into military

Importantly noted- the last part about the "Ti-Ni Loop/WTF years" .. that was a horrific rut I was stuck in during my 20s but going hard with Aux Se really was the key to breaking that. Now working continuously on Fe.. which was barely glanced on here.
I tested as an INFP, and "emotionally" it feels relatable, but this ISTP seems MUCH more on point.
I tested as an INFP around the time I was in a much more vulnerable state. I decided to do it again recently and it was ISTP which makes 10x more sense.
For me it depends on how I’m feeling. If I’m very stressed I will act more like an ISTP but I am an INFP
test doesnt mean shit to me like i got entp most of the time which i get why but now istp feels more like it tbh theoritically
As an ISTP most of this is accurate, however being and ISTP and knowing many others (we tend to unintentionally congregate when doing certain high adrenaline activities), the under developed verbal talents does not fit at all. We explore the world around us and constantly ask questions to understand what we are seeing. As such I've found that ISTPs are incredibly developed in being able to verbalize what we are seeing etc.
Agree. Only part of this I don't think is accurate.
yes, i'm an istp and i/m pretty good with my words. maybe due to self learns
Agree. I'm not usually a big talker, but I can communicate just fine when talking or writing. The rest seemed to fit pretty well.
So are we introverted and extroverted at some times
This was all so me. I prefer hands on things and like messing around with stuff but have sometimes kept away from it to not be singled out and because im new to it.
The part with being a lone wolf and immediately loyal to close friends is very accurate.
I'm not against doing new things but always need some kind of reassurance that i wont stick out as someone thats new to it.
Other then that, all of this hit spot on. Way more accurate than zodiac shit thats for sure

the self taught thing is so true for me
I was an INTP for years, went through a "shift" and thought, I should take it again. Here I am. This is seeming pretty accurate though.
When I got this result in 16 Personalities I reaaaly can't believe it because I really don't like being outside on the field and some ohter things don't really match me....but there are things that are true too 🤣🤣
I took the test twice. Both came out the same. I dislike DIY stuff. But then.. I had to set up some IKEA furniture and apparently i quite enjoyed it 🤣 go figure
INFP here, this is helping me understand a lot of society because a lot of of guys i know seem like istp's
tbh i dont think careers/professions are the same with everyone, because im an istp and i have no interest in mechanics etc
This is so accurate. Can't believe it 😮
This is so accurate it’s terrifying
I think routines and schedules aren't bad, but it needs to be on my own terms and subject to change.
Holy shit that is accurate
so far this is one of the accurate videos about istp
Okay for my ISTP boyfriend, yes he loves food 🍗.😂 He is no jock/athlete, in fact quite lazy besides weekly fishing and occasional deer hunting. He doesn't tinker with things taking them apart to figure out how it works and puts it back together. He is very optimistic and laid back easy going. He doesn't try to stay fit in any way shape or form, LMFAO. He is sometimes impulsive but not pumped on adrenaline or risking his life doing things that will land him in the ER. (Besides stupid teenage boy stuff like betting his friend couldn't choke him to make him pass out. He's not into technician or plumbing physical and tinkering fix it jobs. I know he is ISTP as he hates being tied down, is go with the flow, likes keeping his options open as long as possible, very logic oriented with his decision (besides his occasional impulsive purchases and food choices that affect his stomach). He is very down to earth, realistic, stick to the facts. Plus is definitely introverted hates busy restaurants, crowded parties, would rather watch a Netflix movie at home alone or with me by ourselves both of us just focusing on the movie without talking.- INTJ♀️
I don't know if i'm wrong here and i know they are both fictinaol characters but this just might be the personalities that Jotaro Kujo from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders and Kazuto Kirigaya from Sword Art Online wow to think I became fond of watching their personalities shine and play off. This is a well done explained educational video. Kudos and thank you eveyone for helping me learn. Then again I never hated those 2 characters I liked them instead. I hope I'm not angering or saddening anyone here when I mention 2 animes that I like who others seem to hate.

You might be an enneagram 6.
Very accurate! ISTP here!
Normal ISTPs: solve all technical problems with a wrench
Me : tries to solve existential problems with a wrench
I spend a lot of time thinking about the meaning of it all though, well we can't fit people in a box
Persons dont react like things-things are much more consistent persons not so much.
I believe this more than astronomical signs
So i think IT sounds like something an ISTP like me would like to do?
it's scary how accurate this video described me
Lol'ed when it listed Vladimir Putin, Donald Rumsfeld, and Tom Cruise as my fellow ISTPs. Never felt more proud.
As an ISTP-A this is so accurate.
An infj who has an istp sibling, this is pretty accurate of a description 🤣
This is so ACCURATE!😲
i have the same personality type as jotaro
Two of my favourite actors are ISTPS - Harrison Ford (aka Han Solo/Indy Jones) and Tom “Maverick” Cruise (Ethan Hunt) and an iOS Apple fanboy, Steve Jobs
Holy crap that was accurate. Just took a test and learned I am an ISTP and am checking it out.
i agree with the "hands on" "ill do it myself" thing with schools, id rather do the invading myself than being told about some guy a few years back
I got this on my personality test. I resonate with this but also have my doubts. For some reason, when it comes to personality tests, I simply doubt nearly, maybe every question but when I try to think about the question, I simply draw a blank, I truly don’t know what my personality is, like yeah I can be an act emotionally but I can also be rational about things, although I feel as if I’m more emotional, but idk (self doubt again) I feel as if these tests need to put you in scenarios and have you answer according to those scenarios, because it’s hard for me to answer such vague, open ended questions.

Unbelievable!!
