As an ISTP tell me how many fellow ISTPs agree, when I do 'extreme' things it's like I do them purposely to get OUT of my head and into the now. Where the only thing that matters is quick reflexes and fast thought - not planning or ruminating.
and also because if you dont get that idea or urge out you cant concentrate in doing something else and thats frustrating. like when i like a girl. i just want to tell her just to get it done with i somtimes even hope she says no. not to protect myself but to avoid being the one rejecting her few days later i guess that because of the cool head and always trying to understand things. once i decipher her may loose interest. i guess i will go look for istp girl who can understand my coolness, scarlett will do. i really like her and for few weeks now her page doesnt disapear in my facebook home page...
I totally agree! If i dont find a way to get out of my head, i simply go crazy.
I just want to work on, what I want to work on, when I want to work on it. (lol)
But seriously, this could anything from planting trees in the garden or coding on a project at my day job.
I know I'm supposed to be doing X but I really just need to do Y first. I can't think straight on X until I do Y. It's like I can't commit to the context switch until Y is "finished" or tied up. Doesn't have to be the whole project but some specific step in the process.
Yes, absolutely. Sometimes I’ll do something “risky” or “dangerous” just to feel alive and connected to reality. When not being physical engaged, my mind is running a million miles a minute. If too much time is spent within my mind predominately, I feel disconnected from reality.
Do you also when doing extreme things plan the next obstacle/challenge whatever it is while still executing the current challenge/obstacle
Tell me if you relate:
I can be very serious, or at least appear so, to a point where people tell me to smile more.
I can be spontaneous in social interaction and I will do random things for the sake of doing them, not to ‘get attention’ as some people may think.
I am very sensitive to things which actually effect me and my emotions, despite my willingness and efforts to control my emotions.
I am usually right, and I’m usually more intellectually advanced than others, in certain aspects, usually evident when I’m arguing, not always academics.
I am very chilled and laid back, and even as an introvert I still enjoy going out, with friends or family I’m comfortable with.
I tend not to stress about small and irrelevant things that others may be concerned about because most if not all the time it doesn’t actually matter.
I’m inside my own head a lot of the time, and try my best to not overthink social situations and fit in without being awkward.
I tend to be funny to a lot of people without trying to hard, but maybe that’s just me.
I relate 100%
This comment was ghost written by me from another universe
100%. Spot on.
From Murz BRO YOURE EXACTLY LIKE ME
I feel vulnerable now😂
The ISTP's ability to pick up and master new skills is enviable and infuriating. Love, an INTJ.
I wonder what happens when u reply to a 2 year old comment. I got an INTJ friend and I envy his ability to nail realities. So I listen to him to learn stuff XD
Me (INTJ) and my love (ISTP) get along wonderfully because we admire these things in each other 😍
:P
Love, ISTP.
One of my favorite types of people are INTJ's... ISTP 👍
Thanks
I hate how ppl don't just speak the truth. I hate how ppl have feelings mingled w everything I say. It's so annoying. Just bc I say something is ugly or sucks doesn't mean anything except it's ugly or sucks. It's called honesty. I hate how ppl take things I say the wrong way.
Agree! They are placing a judgement on it not you.
Agreed
Bruh agreed
Okay but you as an ISTP could master your communication skills to the point where you just don’t sound edgy. Kind advice from ISTP female. ;)
I'm an ISTP and I relate to a lot of aspects of this video, but I don't relate to other ISTPs that are really into active stuff like sports and whatnot. And I'm not totally bored by theories unless they're super open-ended to where there's no point in talking about them, or the topic is generally not interesting to me.
who is rem
literately me.
Im an istp and i am into sports and a lot of other activities. Guess its just more what you like, and you really cant categorise people within one group that all must be the same
Istp’s are into sports usually because it combines three things we seek out: understanding of the big picture mechanics, perfecting a craft and executing, and in-the-moment thinking and reacting which gets our minds off things and out of our heads. Do we all like organized sports? Nope. Do we all like extreme activities like skydiving? No. But we all have the desire to execute those three things at some level: paintball, driving fast, white water rafting, even verbal reacting like debating for the sake of debating, hacking into something without getting caught, battle of the wits. Anything that require quick reaction and finely honed skills.
@@zzospreyzz55 Don't throw every ISTP into the same category.
That's right we are not all navy SEALS some of us aspire to be marine infantry!
Lance Damask Air Force Pararescue hopeful here!
I have always wondered why I unknowingly gravitate towards retired Marines. Makes sense why we always get along as well.
As a fellow grunt I feel ya man 0352
I never joined military I'm afraid of dying or losing my sanity... maybe im not a true istp.
@@BikesNight nah, you're just human.
For any youngsters that are ISTP be prepared for a life of HR meetings because of how you interact with co-workers that are more on the emotional side of the spectrum.
I just had one last week and will surely have one within the next month.
Been there. Get bitched at constantly. Retail is no good for istp
oh shit, yeah, and when they can't get a simple joke and wanna write you up, pffft
A coworker shoved me because she thought I was picking on her, but I was told to help her and make sure she doesn't make mistakes. Hr was weird.
heck, before employment even. got an esfj dad and a sensitive intj mom. my childhood was hr meetings lol
For any young istp’s: tell HR to go fuck themselves and start your own business.
ISTPs should have a motto and that is "We Don't Give a Damn!" and their spirit animal would be the honey badger and the wolverine.
big man
big man
I do not vote for this. This is nonsense.
Nah, my totem animal is definitely the sloth. Leave me alone up there in my tree, single mindedly practicing things I'd love to talk to you about but know you won't have the patience to listen to. Still, please come see me when I get down for my weekly dump. We can cuddle for a while, and you can get me up to speed on the town's gossip.
@@graeschnahmoffski5716 I've always identified with Turtles for damn near the same reason man
Wow, spot in for my husband who tested as an ISTP! Athlete in high school, joined the military immediately after as an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. Still serving 25 later. Nicknamed a robot in the family which he doesn’t mind. Runs on little sleep, little emotions, little food. Not the best at personal communication but gotta love ‘em! 💖😂
I’m an ENTP and my bf is an ISTP . He’s very lovely and I’m so grateful I meet him in my life
INFJ here. ISTPs are amazing. They should be called The Terminators ;)
Your vids are amazing man but this may be the best yet. Thank you so much for doing this- you're so good at it!!
Water Ox I’m an INFJ as well and married to an istp
They called me man of steel at work 😂😂😂 asking if I can hand out some tips for stress management
@@noneofyourbusiness3341 3 years later, but what is it like for an INFJ to be married to an ISTP?
Im a female ISTP, and I think this is not the easiest personality for women. Mostly communicating with others
Women ISTP : do you agree? do you find communication issues ? does it often end in conflict ?
what about your partner, does he understand you?
please let me know a little bit about this and maybe an exemple. there's not a lot about women ISTP
Paola Z O-L it is absolutely hard as an istp female in relationships my partners tell me why don’t I care even with family they say I’m so mean but that is not true at all :/ it sucks I try to tell them that this is my personality and I cannot help the way I am
Agree! We communicate more like men it would seem, and it can rub people up the wrong way because most women are willing to dance around men’s egos. I just say it as it is.
Yeah, I had to learn to fake a large part of my personality to be successful in the professional world but since I stay withdrawn otherwise, the energy expenditure is sort of worth it. Otherwise female ISTPs are in a worse position than our male counterparts because our natural communication/expressions are interpreted more poorly coming from women because they run counter to societal standards. Also, I’m more into sewing than mechanics or woodworking; it’s still making tactile stuff (and using math for patterning) but for *some reason* no one ever uses it as an example of ISTP hobbies. I wonder why.
My mum always tells me when I was little I would take apart all of my toys because I wanted to know how they would work, unfortunately breaking most of them in the process haha
SAME
Neylena holy shit this is so relatable. I even have old tapes of myself when i like 3 destroying my toys. I had no idea why but now ik
I'm an ISTP. I have to learn something and it's every detail. I remain calm under most situations and can easily adapt and read someone. I also have fewer emotions then most as I see and can hide them extremely well. I feel as if I can easily adapt fake emotions but usually don't have one if not needed. I am usually saw as cold when people see me emotionless. If it also adds to the "warrior" statement, I am going to college extremely soon and aspire to be a homicidal detective or a criminologist. Planning is not a great idea for me, I just go with my quick reactions and my adaption skills.I have taken engineering and hate to speculate theories that only make somewhat possible sense. I also live by the statement "facts don't care about your feelings"
I really have to thank you, I was kinda stressed about choosing what to study and criminologist sounds like a good one 🙏
Im more of a reserved ISTP, looking at things not too far away, but close enough, giving myself as many options as possible.
My downfall, is that I may not be able to find the best solution fast enough, since my decision making is clouded by fear of what might happen, or of the consequences of the "best option".
I must learn that everything comes with a cost, but that eventually I will be able to get to where I want to be in life, even if my choices can hurt me.
@@ophist8399 Thanks god I know you are refering to enneagram 5 because for a second I thought you were a 5 year old xD
All istp’s have that trait of being non-committal. We don’t like to lock ourselves into one boring thing and if we make a mistake we like to be fluid enough to change it. The trick is to practice things until they become simple, or to enter into reactionary mode. If you’re going into something, plan your exit first or just remind yourself that nothing is permanent and that you’re very good on-the-fly.
Aha. I think I finally understand why my ISTP friend is so set on rock climbing and traveling the world in a minimalistic van :0
At the beginning of our friendship I sometimes got a bit too sensitive/ offended at something that was said to me, but soon understood that it was nothing personal.
Now it’s something that I got to appreciate. It’s not fake and covered with pretty words. Also the ‘giving zero fuck’s what others think’ is really inspiring.
I really value those traits,
Sincerely -INFJ
Have any other ISTP’s learned to compensate for their tendency to be terse and but get annoyed at themselves because they feel like they sugar coat and ramble but they don’t have to listen to the complaints anymore so they just continue the practice, when you have the energy?
zzospreyzz55 I was raised to be more polite and kind but my natural honest and blunt nature would shine through anyways while still retaining that sense of kindness. There are times that I did feel as I was sugar coating things and over explaining things though just to avoid stupid problems later on that could just mean more headaches, particularly with emotional people and I’ve had a good deal of luck and skill in doing that, even with people I naturally don’t get along with or mesh well with. I’ve learned to compensate for many tendencies though so I can produce as few issues for myself as possible though.
Yes, absolutely. Being an istp with aspergers only exasperated the social ineptitude i struggled with. Took me years to develop an effective if not always accurate system to “fix” this. But the constant “better make sure im not misunderstood, better step lightly so as not to offend” nonsense gets veeeeerrrry draining and frustrating at times. Just let me speak plainly goddamnit.
well, yes. I tend to sugar coat things bc I'm extremely introverted, wuth a family of extroverts, so I try to shorten conversations as much as I can, easiest way? agree with the person. If they ask for imput, you come with a soft aproach, one you wouldn't use, but is feasonable to the person you're talking, but then again you have to know and be confortable to said person. See it less than sugar coating things, and more as a way to coexist whith the people you care and love, bc most people are not as objective as you, taking feelings in considerations, where at least I have no idea on why feelings should even be considered, since it's all cause and consequence...
Yes, especially as a female ISTP. I wasn't very popular in middle/high school because I said everything brutally honest. The initial solution was to become an extreme introvert and avoid people all together. But in college I learned I can talk to people, just need to be softer. At nearly 40 I've mastered these skills, especially with my high 'feeler' kids. What needs to be said in these videos is that despite our cold bluntness, something inside us also longs to be liked. We care a lot about what people think of us even if we act like we don't.
11:50 8 years later, that explains a lot
Another robust and vivid presentation, Michael!
ISTPs were the companions of my youth. They've played an undeniable role in my development. (and my humor!) :D
Among other things... thank you for good music and sources in the end. Finally someone with adequate taste and understanding of how the product looks from customer's point!
It is interesting that many of the examples you list of ISTPs are martial artists and soldiers. I am martial artist myself, and what I love about it that it forces me to get out of my own head. Makes it easier for me to focus when my focus is needed.
My istp partner and I are having problems coming to a compromise about a relationship issue. He will sit and watch me be emotional over it and express myself and suggest solutions. He will give me lots of physical affection to make me feel better, but he doesn't really engage with what I'm saying. It's like I'm expressing thoughts and emotions about something that doesn't involve him - as though I'm describing something that is happening to me that doesn't require his participation. He usually just avoids or pulls away if he knows he has to say or do something, but this time he said "I feel really anxious". I felt so much empathy for him in that moment and I happily let him go and have his space. I thought it was a nice, soft conversation but he saw it as the opposite. He perplexes me but I absolutely adore him. I'm enfp.
ISTPs and ENTPs are probably the two types I admire the most as an INTJ.
INTJ married to an ISTP spouse... rock solid, long term, unwavering relationship. ISTPs are brilliant. I greatly admire (and rely on, personally) the type's formidable strengths... an incredible and rare ability to cut through BS and to see the core of any "problem" they choose to spend their time/attention on and they do so quickly and efficiently. I can think about things for days, and still be pondering problems, while my spouse can observe, analyze, and (only if necessary) act within seconds (or so it feels to me).
I recently took a MBTI test that labeled me an ISTP. After watching this video (as well a some other reading in this vein) I have to concede that the test was pretty accurate. Particularly in the realm of the terseness and blunt ness of social interaction. I tell everyone that gets to know me that any social interaction with me implies the acceptance of an unwritten disclaimer of "Ask all opinion and/or observational questions at your own risk. If you don't want the absolute truth (as I see it) then don't ask me."
i'm definitely an ISTP. just curious, do you other ISTPs find math really easy? like in class when we learn a new concept i always understand that as long as you know how to use the formula(s) and have basic equation and arithmetic skills, then all you need is simple logic and it's not hard at all. this thinking is a given for me and i'm wondering if other ISTPs relate to this because while i crush math, i know a lot of people who are introduced to a new topic and are just like wut.
I mean I have a D in math right now lol but that's because I'm lazy I'm not interested in math so I don't bother even trying , but if I do try I would totally dominate it.
I find math easy as long as i'm interested. I am much better at visual math type stuff( physics type math and spacial math like integration) than I am at theoretical math type stuff( linear algebra and data analysis pretty much anything to do with accounting).
+iamatleast21orolder uh, math is easy, But i never liked numbers. I hate math
iamatleast21orolder ISTPs can understand the basics easily, but they do not have that natural formal logic woven like INTP. Math = logic, literately. And math is nuanced and imaginative. INTP here though, so id say this.
ISTP here, and not a good student. I always used to ignore and tune out every math class, then when test day finally came, I'd copy an answer or two off my neighbor's paper and try to reverse-engineer their answer into whatever formulas we were supposed to be learning for this test. I definitely made things harder for myself lol.
Wow. This is so spot on for me. Thank you for taking the time to fill this out. Excellent video.
Finally! Direct, to the point, and clear as day as usual, nice work!
I'm a female ISTP, and I don't really run into much conflict. However, that's because I avoid it. If it isn't really necessary for me to argue with someone, I just don't. However, I have gotten into a couple of major conflicts on ethical issues in relation to work, so it depends on what the conflict is about. I don't kiss ass. I do the stereotypical men's work. I love to design, to build, to understand how things work and all that. Everything from designing a bridge to wiring a house, to seeing and understanding the behaviors and personalities in a pack of dogs or a flock of goats. But I don't try to understand everything about everything, just the thing that I'm working on. So I'll learn exactly how to install the distributor and set up the timing in a car, but not even notice the thing that's sitting right next to the distributor. I have good reflexes and am not afraid of many things, but I've never been athletic, other than judo and swimming. I'm extremely independent. Most people say too much so, but that's how I am and I like it.
Who else, as an ISTP, is really good at explaining things in detail? Getting in the other person’s head to get the message across?
I've been told I over complicate things
As an istp, I'm quite literally the worst person you could ask for explanations, however my brother, who's also istp, is so good at explaining that no questions are left after he explains you something, short and understandable.
As an ISTP, I'd say 9/10 of the video describes me accurately. Definitely worlds apart from the INTP since I've never been good at brainstorming (Ne). I've always been good at hands-on stuff from driving a straight truck to working out with free weights. I use to be insecure about my terseness but I'm starting to embrace it now. The Se-Ni pair could explain why a lot of STPs (and some SFPs) are diagnosed with ADHD/ADD.
Great video!
To add to my comment, everything in this video makes so much sense. The part about the ISTP focusing on the framework of actual objects REALLY stood out for me. For example, weight loss. I did a steak and eggs diet for a bit until I realized the framework of the diet (object) which was high in protein and fat but low on carbs and that I can switch out the steak for lets say chicken or fish. Another example is how I learned about insulin and how it affects fat loss so I'm doing a low carb high fat diet (which works btw) and the fat is coming off.
That's just one example of me MASTERING something and having a down-to-Earth understanding of how something works so I don't have to think about as I'm doing it. I "strike naturally"
+TheZenThug can you explain more connection between Se-Ni and ADHD/ADD? Thanks
People who have ADHD have problems with focusing their attention on things they're not interested in. And when they ARE focused, its on things they actually enjoy doing.
The Se/Ni axis kinda works the same way as was described in the video. You're focused intensely on a topic until you're satisfied then move on to something else.......only to come back again to explore it from another angle. Make sense?
it does, and I agree with you... This ADHAD/ADD is very wide topic...I have tendencies to space out , if I am not really into the stuff, what sometimes can get me thinking that something is wrong inside my head... :)
Also I can see that you have experiment with insulin in your diet, so you probably knows how the sugar influence you. And this is more based on the body type and not personality, but if my sugar level goes down, my brain shuts down and go into zombie mode..
Something for you to test if you have any of ADHAD issues
Bad diet buddy! Do more research.
Michael.....can I just say that you are THE man???? These videos are very well done.
mz norI get crazy, why we (as ISTP) can’t share what’s going on in our mind? I feel like have nothing to share with others sometimes. Another ISTP issues is we are invisible among friends or family.
Great video man. I used to watch Man vs Wild and I could always tell Bear Grills was an ISTP
-ISTP
[Insert drinking piss joke here]
...eeeeh, I think ESFP fits better.
I think Hyde from the 70's show is an ISTP
I actually noticed that I am way more loud and throwing jokes around all the time, I never take things seriously, as in someone having the worst time of their life, having an exam, having to say goodbye to things that I'll never see again. People also know I never take things seriously, but what I do take seriously - last week when I nearly died and got lost, I was calm the whole time, and I took it in my hands to find a way out and not to freeze. My mind is a weird place
I have interest in warfare strayegies tactics and history
La Campanella....good choice!
I can speak for some ISTPs that a lot of them would be into writing and communication, bc they are interested in how words effect people and how word give meaning to communication. They would take words apart to analyse them and piece them together.
I'm an istp but am always smiling without a reason
That's ok, it is not a sin. ~ ISTP as well.
I dig the Jason Bourne clips. I loved that movie and I have no problem associating w him. I resonate w that.
Watching this as an ENFJ blows my mind because it's actually who I am on the inside, friggen life dichotomy
An excellent, high-quality analysis. Thank you.
I'm an ISTP and a second grade teacher.
Suzanne Pitts I think that your kids simply adore you!
I'm an ISTP & work with children too!
oof
Thought I'd let you know that your channel hasn't had me craving it's next upload, quite like any other channel has in a long time. Considering the amount of detail you went into in your earlier videos it might be overkill, but I would be interested in hearing your full observations on each of the cognitive functions and their interactions as such, as well as hearing some of your further reaching theories into the field of typology.
Thank you! I'm flattered ! I've been thinking about what else to talk about along with and after the sixteen types, so I'll take that into consideration.
me too!
yeah I say ditto to that. Maybe when you get done with all 16 types you can do a breakdown on thinks like Fi vs Fe, etc. I can't get enough of that- especially when it's done by someone who articulates it so well.
When I take these personality tests I mostly get ISTP but sometimes get INTP I've even got ESTP. I guess I'm an ISTP.
ISTP here
So I didn't know how accurate this test was so I took it 9 times but at wide intervals. I am talking months. Also, randomly. I wanted to this to be as precise as possible. I forgot the answers and gave them honestly. I got ISTP every time. The problem is I don't know how to fix cars or stuff like that. I love lifting weights,playing music and sports. I am also a lawyer. Honestly, I wanted a different personality type but that would require me to lie. I guess I have to accept this personality. I wanted to ask you guys if every ISTP knows how to fix things?
Don't worry you're not alone. I don't how to fix shit and I'm not into cars or bikes like the stereotype and I'm much more into Music, Mountains, Movies and sports.
Oh also I love MMA! Atleast one of the stereotypes is true 🤣
That jump reference was a bull's eye to describe it. Bang on buddy that was a really cool description
Found myself down yet another rabbit hole again today, this time? Personality traits! So after I found out that there were 16 types, I had to know what I was... And now I have something to research until there's no more information to find! Istp minds make amazing welder/fabricators btw. good money, and I get to work alone.
learned the only way im happy as a ISTP is to be self employed. The corporate ladder and office polotics are not our strongsuit for sure. Mastering a skill as step 1 and then learning management skills and business as step 2 habe been huge for me. Currently working on step 3 of hiring employees and working on one of my weaknesses which is delegating tasks and trusting others to be able to complete those tasks without me breathing down their necks. Mbti has been a big help for personal growth and revealing my stengths and weaknesses as a ISTP.
I read somewhere that ISTPs tend to be daredevils and gravitate towards more fast paced and dangerous hobbies and careers. I.e. Hockey, snowboarding/skiing, racing, paintball, mma/boxing, and careers like firefighting, police work, and military, and also tend to be a shoot first and ask questions never type of person. It was creepily accurate. I played hockey for 16 years. Love paintball, snowboarding, auto racing, and like mma. I plan on joining my local fire department after college and have also thought about joining the military. The mechanic nickname for ISTPs fits me seeing as I am going to college to be a diesel mechanic.
sound more like an estp
I am entertaining the idea that I'm a mistype and am actually an ISTP. I have thought I was an INFJ for years. I don't consider myself very mechanical, however. I like to figure things out though, for example, I can typically solve problems with computers and household appliances. I like to research why something isn't working. My greatest interest is science (biology). I am blunt and can definitely be terse although I think I have a good amount of tact and well developed Fe.
hi! is the first time I read something like this but I have the same feel! when I was a little girl i was an ISTP then when i was young i have some personal problems and i start to act like an INFJ, right now I'm feeling once again like a ISTP... is this possible...?
Surely you can come up with more female examples of ISTP.
"the istp's piercing thought's can sometimes times drill through other people without with out realising the extent of the damage" made me laugh so hard i just thought of all the snowflakes instantly
Currently on my 5th fb ban due to said snowflakes 😂🖕
@@StevenLeMieux I don't think fb would ban you if you weren't saying anything wrong
@@user-dv9hn4fm5q I would usually agree but the reality is you could be telling the truth whether it be a scientific subject or an actual fact but if it goes against the media machines agenda it will be seen as false information they don't care about the truth they care about money it's that simple.
It’s very frustrating to feel like I have to sacrifice accuracy for politics. If I could only find a way out of that problem
Little practical history for ISTP's warriors...battle map on 3:25 is between Serbian Army against invading Ottoman empire Army on 1389 at the fields of Kosovo.. Great Battle.. David agains Goliath....
Thanks for the info!
ISTPs: I Swear We aren't STUPID We just like doing STUPID things for Thrill
ME: Crying in ISTP
Love your videos keep them coming
I wasn't sure if my husband was an ISTP and then I saw the picture of the welder and thought "BINGO!"(he is the craftsman for sure!)
Looks like I'm an ISTP.
I prefer ENFP, and I very much admire the ISTP style practical,somewhat creative,logical, and still badass, playing things by their rules
Am I ISTP???
-Dislike small talk but will use it to break the ice if I'm extremely bored.
-Hate Fake people and stupid people who think they are smart. I don't mind stupid people who know they're stupid.
-Like math and am above average in it but hate long tedious formulas.
-Find I can learn to do pretty much anything I want to do but hate doing uninteresting things.
-I have very strong emotions but try not to make decisions based on them.
-Am highly receptive to new information and will change my opinion on things if the facts prove my opinions wrong. Even if I hate it.
-Not particularly naturally gifted at sports but am able to improve my skills with significant practice. Only if I want to.
-When in the zone, and I get distracted it takes me forever to get back in the zone.
-Need complete silence to get in the zone, easily distracted by noise and moving objects.
-Love science and learning about new wonder materials.
*nods head*
Good fucking video. I just tripped my ISTP roommate out right now. Priceless. INFJ speaking here.
Awesome videos. I salute you. I am ISTP and Christian.
I gravitate to these famous people for some reason. Do ISTPs inherently "get" each other?
I suspect one of my best friends - met in adult life - is also ISTP.
I see why I have trouble understanding women as an ISTP man.
Understanding women is hard even for me,as istp women..i can imagine how hard is for you😅
😁 crazy huh.
I also consider myself an ISTP but sometimes I can also be emotional when it comes to personal failings/anxiety and I'm often not afraid to show it, explaining why I feel like this is a different matter... On the other hand I try not to hurt people when being too direct but I find it really hard to not cut the crap and often just give in and say it anyway. If I retain myself, they notice I'm silent, if I say something deviating, it's obvious. Actually maybe that's the best way, since it seems to hurt them the least while still being clear.
Lord Thanksalot
lmao maybe ur an ISFP.
even when i had axienty and depression i never showed it, considered it as embarrassing and stupid. and depends on the person and what type of advice someone wants, u might cause fights, but other than that, cut the crap. being brutally honest.
On the other end, I have been told to be too direct to people without me noticing, and a friend of mine who is really really into the MBTI system is absolutely positive I'm an ISTP. Maybe it's just because I'm gay that I tend somewhat more to 'F' :D
but overall I'm just bad at coping with feelings, which is a typical aspect of ISTP. But hey, I learned. And I don't feel this anxiety lately compared to when I posted above comment.
Being satisfied with life makes me less sensitive again, even though I think this is more of a general human thing. Happy people care less.
Lord Thanksalot
im gay too, it has no affect on your personality, really.
F's are more emotionally expressive and are more concerned with social harmony and not hurting people's feelings.
its possibly youre an ISTP, but ISFP's is bassically an ISTP who's feelings are more out there.
the way you described yourself actually goes against the 'T' in ISTP, which is why i suggested the F.
though i could be wrong about you, since i dont know you personally, but hopefully this might help a bit:
(T)
"Thinking individuals focus on objectivity and rationality, prioritizing logic over emotions. They tend to hide their feelings and see efficiency as more important than cooperation."
(F)
"Feeling individuals are sensitive and emotionally expressive. They are more empathic and less competitive than Thinking types, and focus on social harmony and cooperation"
Well it appears to be that you have much more F-types among gay men and T-types among lesbians.
As for me, could it be I'm just 50/50 lol...
Another thing that would be typical to F is to prefer emotional stuff to the rational, like movies. Romantic movies bore me.
I prefer more interesting settings like scientific, historic matter and such.
When it comes to cooperation, it really depends: if it's intensive, then please no, or someone: take the lead. If it's simple: yeah sure!
And even then, context makes everything.
Aaand I just watched a descriptive video about ISFP.
It's indeed quite close to my description, but the tragic part is: I do care about other's feelings, but I find it hard to assess them at times. And I can think of so many different situations where you'd get so confused about which one I actually am...sometimes caring, sometimes not or not much.
This makes a very uncomfortable sense. I always thought its me but literally its him. I simply didn't understand his personality and nature and now that i am aware of my own personality type which is infp it all made a ironic sense. Im basically built on emotions and feelings and istps are well a little more guarded. Helpful insight. I just have to adjust my emotional frequencies lol😊😊😊😊
06:00: those cards are stapled, hahahahaha.
Thus I comprise 50% them absolutely not total but some puzzle solved, self-critical but less on straightforward conversation details in some cases as those some percentages were my frequent INTP sharp fortitude
i took the myers-briggs in college (along with IQ, aptitude and others as part of a general education class for freshmen to help them focus on a major) and several other times since...and other than a variation to the degree I lean into each category...always ISTP.
That's a terrible sign. Most ISTP do not get typed that way. I mean, most types have to do some exploration but ISTPs are very, incredibly likely to test out as INT or INFJ or even ENTP way before they test as ISTP. But, here's how you really find out. Go watch Gran Torino. If you find Clint Eastwood to be a kind, fair and reasonable human being in it, you are probably ISTP. If you think he's a terrible, heartbreaking racist, you are probably not an ISTP.
I'm interested in how you view the opposite functions working together, like you said Ne-Si is "well travelled" and Se-Ni likes to stick to intensely stick to something. I am writing a paper on types now, and I call Ne-Si or Si-Ne "Comprehensive Address", and Ni-Se or Se-Ni "Singular Impact" or "Singular Intensity". I don't know if that is apt. I am going to call Ti-Fe or Fe-Ti "Harmonious Unity" or "Savvy something" I don't know. I am an INFP so my understanding of Ti, Fe, Ni, and Se is from other people.
Leon Tsao That's essentially how I see it as well; Si/Ne has a broad, comprehensive motion while Ni/Se has a diving, zeroing in motion. Ti/Fe tries to give up of itself in favor of a greater, universal standard while Fi/Te tries to strengthen and validate its own true self despite outside opposition. So Ti/Fe is a disintegrating, joining motion, while Fi/Te is a solidifying, individuating motion. But as I always say, I'm not an expert!
I think the best resource is the following article from CelebrityTypes.com that I built off of, which might be of use to you:
www.celebritytypes.com/blog/2012/12/guide-to-jungian-function-axes/
I enjoy this more than expert material!
sniper vs spray n pray. i want to see actual examples of people using each function. theres a couple channels dedicated but i cant find them.
One time I was momentarily held hostage with another girl. We were tied to chairs that were sitting side by side. More than one guy, but not sure how many. The closest one had a gun and put it to my face and whispered a lot of things in my ear. Plans he had for us and he told me that part of his fun- however he actually worded it- was that he was going to have me tell her what he was going to do to us or else. This was a guy I met before, who hated it when I told him to use his own words. So, he told me to use my own words. He had told me about taking off his pants and used words like drilling ... went on about how he would do it until we expired. That sort of thing. So, I leaned over to her and whispered in her ear with his face right there because he wanted to hear, "He says he's going to drop his pants and bore us to death." He hit me on top of my head with the butt of the gun, but he didnt' rape anyone that day. Maybe he would have come back later, but people showed up and arrested him shortly thereafter.
That's a little ISTP oversharing, to answer the question of anyone who might wonder why I think I'm an ISTP female.
you're welcome
5:30 lol Tower Of God. Good Webtoon ;)
As an ENTP I am very blunt in my discussions, especially when in a debate.
OK... but this video is about ISTP not ENTP. May be you meant that you share this trait with ISTPs. However, ENTPs have tertiary Fe. That means however blunt you may be, you are still distinctly aware of the general feeling atmosphere in a room and try to accommodate that. ISTPs with inferior Fe can be even more blunt.
Secondly ENTPs may enjoy the process of a debate or discussion itself regardless of the conclusion (Intellectual Sparring) . ISTPs may not do that and they are more about saying what needs to be said and doing what needs to be done in a pressing situation
My avatar is from Tower of god on 5:35 lol. It is not as popular but i chose to give it a try because i needed something new.
I reckon that in ww2..an ISTP are
the least to be captured because they would rather die in their duty.
but once captured.. they are more likely to be killed by enemy. (cant stand their stare of doom)
however if they held information.. they are the toughest to break and most likely to be tortured more
Guess which personality would have high chance of surviving once captured?
I come back to this vidya knowing that I am ISTP :). Never knew how much potential these dudes have! Btw, what if you have and use Se but you take on a more bruce lee mentality of Se and not an annoying gangster attitude?
I do believe in being one with my environment and being empty with the cup. There's no reason to fill it with the "unnecessary" when you have just that, and you know its purpose. I guess I use my Se in a holy way or something lol
Steve Jobs is an ISTP?
good job!!
As an ISTP, Im not short tempered but when you really destroy my barrier.
You better run
When you keep trying to figure out how you ended up an ISTP, even though its probably pseudoscience.
great video, again, but after reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson and seeing lots of interviews, I do believe that he is an ENFJ, and not an ISTP.
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) ..... ???? Your answer is more or less very helpful for me, I hope God will bless your family and friends
I've always heard that Steve Jobs is an ENTJ...
Sina S Because he was a CEO. People are idiots.
[INTP]
This observation doesn't really fit anywhere else but I think it fits here.
To anybody who is familiar with the smash bros melee community (by chance), a good example of an ISTP would be Weston Dennis, or Westballz. I am about 97% sure he's ISTP. So yo anybody who wants an example of what an ISTP might look like doing what they do this us a perfect example and explains the ISTP incredibly well, as long as supports the points discussed in this video perfectly. I'll briefly explain the game and then explain how the two videos I'll show explain how westballz is ISTP.
Smash bros melee is a game in which small 2D fighters each have specific movesets- actions that can be performed to do damage in the form of a percent to another character. each time a character is hit, its percentage (or damage) rises and the character is sent flying away a certain distance at a speed based on how much percent they had when they were hit (and the move power). If a character flies too far and goes outside the area of the stage, they 'die'. The goal of the game is to 'kill' the other player faster than they kill you.
melee was never intended for competitive play.
However, after it was released, many players began to discover ways of utilizing the game that it was never intended for. Using these techniques is called tech skill. Melee's speed, fluidity, control, and to some degree, balance made it a popular competitive game. Although all top competitive players have top notch tech skill, there are still many advanced techniques that aren't widely used because of the incredible difficulty to actually input the commands do to timing and speed. some of these commands require sequences of actions that need to be performed within small time frames. one of these actions is called multishining, which can be performed by two characters. It requires button inputs at faster than 1/8 of a second.
westballz, the ISTP, is known for performing these multishines consistently and using them effectively in tournament play. Few other top players use tech skill as seriously as westballz.
This first video is an interview with Weston, probably right before a tournament.
th-cam.com/video/Hji41g3U7lY/w-d-xo.html
You can immediately notice his rather reserved nature, and see his Ti at work as he takes time to think through his answers. Of note however is when, near the later part of the video, he talks about how a new player being able to quickly learn tech skill hints at then having potential as a player. This shows that he notes and puts importance on game control. Westballz as a player is known for his control of the game, which hints at the ISTP nature of wanting to have full control of a system. Rather than some nature of attacking the theoretics of the game (which he might do, but more importantly) he focuses on taking full control of the actual interface of the game to have as much control of his character and the physics of the game as he can. This demonstrates the ISTP nature discussed in this video of having full control of the environment and to understand it.
This second video illustrates the Ti Fe clash present in the ISTP, which was discussed in the end of this video.
th-cam.com/video/uxm4HH2uYiA/w-d-xo.html
In this video, Westballz is facing a player who is much less experienced than he is during a tournament, with money on the line. Ignoring that aspect, he practices tech skill during the match instead of actually facing the player, which is rather disrespectful. The player has much less skill, and Westballz is accentuating it because of nonchalant attitude about the other players effort, which is inferior to westballz own. it's not like westballz is actually trying to make him feel inferior however. it's more like an attitude of westballz practicing and prepare for a better opponent. All the flashes he does are multiplies, and each shine requires a minimum of two button presses. essentially, the player has to execute a jump, and then do a "shine" just as the leave the ground. then, they can cancel the shine with another jump, allowing them to perform the same action continually.
Westballz is known in the community for being a rather weird character for his blunt responses.
he also likes to have his hood on when he plays, and this doesn't say anything about him being ISTP except that maybe he has an ISTP like appearance.
Anyway, I hope this offers insight to others as to what areal example of an ISTP might be in an environment.
For those more interested in smash as a game, you can watch the documentary here:

Thanks for reading.

First off, in my post, it says multiplies rather than multishines, which I'd what I meant. I had to correct that.
Hmm... I wouldn't say male INTPs are mechanical systemish and female INTPs are philosophical. I think it varies from INTP to INTP, both have both traits, and gender doesn't have much to do with it. I think the stack is the same regardless of whether it's male or female, and it's hard to determine how gender can effect the stack and stack usage. I honestly think philosophy just as much as I think along the lines of processes, I think they go together too, to some degree. it's all just Ti at the root anyway. But I would be interested in differences between male and female INTPs. I haven't met any INTPs physically besides me.
I have noticed though, that female INTPs tend to have a sassierish nature to them. but this is all from non human interaction so...
But perhaps I misunderstood. I'm interested in hearing a fuller explanation if you have one, but if not that's alright.
I appreciate the comment though.
+Alberto Sarda-Perez
haha what do you mean by checking?
yeah, I have some hunches for the community.
westballz - ISTP
Mango - ENTP for sure
M2K - INTP? can't say, but his approach as outlined in the documentary is totally Ti-Ne mentality, deconstructing the game to bits. it would make sense having inf Fe because some days he's on point and others he's not. But he has, to some degree, what we could suspect to be, autism, so we can't say for sure.
Armada - Definitely Fi. IXTJ or XNTJ.
Leffen - XSFP, I think.
SFAT - ISFP?...
Anyway, those are my typings, based on playstyle and community interaction.
+Zigrid Heliotrope
I don't know much about what you're saying. If it's biology, I'd be interested in it, but I don't know.
I think functions are certain, and observably and consistently true, but understanding how the brain plays into that is a whole new level, and it's hard to guess what exactly goes into that. perhaps the brain has evolved in a Te sort of way to satisfy a Ti system, or in other words, the function stack as it is may be behaviorally and societally most efficient, so it created a Te system to satisfy the Ti system. but this is all conjecture.
+Kevin Nguyen
haha this is awesome...
When you say they self typed, was it by functions? If they didn't use functions then its likely skewed, and I didn't see any functions so *functions rant*
I totally thought PP was an INTJ, I typed him between my last comment and reading yours, but he's a different caliber of INTJ.
Ken is definitely ESTJ. Notice how he invented dash dancing, his thought was "I need a movement option" which is Te trying to work with the environment. also kind of quirky.
IDK about armada being ESTJ. I think he's an NTJ but he could be any of the TJ types honestly.
HBOX as ENFJ is.. idk.
How is leffen... I honestly think he's SFP because he seems kind of like a teenage girl, but hes not prideful. I guess you could site the game with church but idk. Notice how in the interview with mano following his mm with SFAT he sympathizes with him, but there's also this diologue, Mango says "you think you're good don't you" and he hesitated a little and said "if I said I wasn't good, I'd be lying" so seems like balanced Te and Fi. ESFP would work, but a more perceptive one. IDK about ENTJ.
I don't know about S2J. INFJ could work but I haven't seen enough if him to say anything.
Mango ENTP. No doubt. Shows in his gameplay, community attitude, such and such.
I don't know about the others.
+Ben - woops i deleted my comment out of embarassment of letting out all my secrets and saying too much esoteric shit, but self typed as in the standard method of normal people just going to a random mbti test in that thread and get a result.
I'd trust the Hbox and Zhu ones just from what I observed. Sometimes people can be pretty dead on with their types from the get go.
ENTJ's can be pretty girly and nerdy from my experience with one. They also can seem like ISFP's just because they also use the function pair of Fi + Se. Leffen just doesn't seem introverted at all. He trash talks all his friends on streams from I heard and does too many things to get what he wants like paying people to practice vs. him. ISFP's just seem like they're always so quiet and think they're better than you silently, but Leffen is an overt asshole to people telling them he's better and just tells them they're shit
Ken as ESTJ.. maybe. I have a theory he just seems like that cause he's in the grip (depressed) so he's using his worst functions Te + Si instead of his main ones Ti + Se which is what I went through at one point in life trying to live through methods I used in the past to get through life with it working for a couple years, but eventually you face reality you can't deal with.
+Kevin Nguyen If it's a normal online MBTI test, then it's extremely questionable. yes, people can get the right type from the get go, but even so, it's not perfect, by any means.
Saying Ken is a looping ISTP is a stretch. Anything is possible, of course, but I sense Te from him. Maybe I'll rewatch the documentary to see if I can pinpoint anything Te.
I havent seen leffens streams directly, but I've seen a video of him breaking down a match, and unlike a Je dom, he takes time to assemble his critiques, which is typically an introverted tendency. And his bo5 with Chillin- he seems to be forcing his smugness, rather than doing it naturally- which isn't the default case, but I think it happens here. Like with Mango, his Fe is just there. But with Leffen, in the match it seems like he's trying and making an effort to make a point.
*last comment, I meant SFAT, not church... I dont know how church got there.
An ENTP here.
Would have loved to have a 'ISTP mode' as well. Will consciously try to incorporate some stuff for sure.
Yup Almost completely my
3:44 why is it blank nothing is happening
4:12 ISTP vs INTP
When i saw Vladimir Putin i was like WTF!! But when i saw the badass main character in the manga Vagabond which also based on a true story of a badass samurai. I accept that this my personality type whole heartedly. 😘
Is it possible that I change from ESTP to ISTP? I ve done so, so is that change someway how I function as a introvert, if I have a extrovert legacy?
Why ask if it is possible if you did it? I personally think the mbti is too undefined to tell for sure, who knows if it works or what deeper quirks it has if it does work.
I wish I was born as an ISTP.
Nah, don’t waste your time wishing you were something other than you. It’s futile and a drain
Why

Welcome to MBTI lol
