The 16 Personality Types: ISTP
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- ISTPs in the Myers-Briggs personality system rely on Introverted Thinking (Ti), Extroverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Intuition (Ni), and Extroverted Feeling (Fe). Behavioral stereotypes can be limiting and not fully explain the mental processes and motivations behind the stereotypes. In this video, we dive into the actual cognitive processes and discuss tendencies associated with each one, including cognitive loops. For ISTPs, this is a Ti-Ni loop. The hope is that the information presented will be beneficial for individuals to use when discussing ISTP relationships, careers, and workplace habits. We will also prepare you for the podcast premiering at the end of 2020. One of the episodes will be dedicated entirely to ISTPs in the education system, their learning style, and how the system can better accommodate them.

Something else about ISTPs. We can move from obsession to obsession over time.
Surfing might be all-encompassing, but then we get really into building hot rods, or writing. We might have multiple simultaneous obsessions. But we'll occasionally drop one and add another. I've been starting to fly fish...
Ultimately, we're nerds, but a lot of what we geek out on has been deemed cool for some reason. So we're often not thought of as nerds.
Yeah we are not like those INTPs who get really deep into studying old keys or vacuum cleaners or fences or something equally mundane/nerdy
@chimpanzee eagle I know. I had it done to me recently by a fellow ISTP, too. In person, not only on line.
I try not to do that. It's hard to keep up with friends as life goes on, so now I feel guilty. I think I have done it by accident and not known it.
But this was blatant. It really sucks.
@chimpanzee eagle That's the NiFe demon (or shadow, depending on your preferred terminology) at work. We share certain traits with the INFJ, one of those can be the door slam. We may do it for different reasons, but it does happen and often unconsciously. I know I've done it, sometimes unintentionally. Some of the reasons that it has happened are: I no longer share anything in common, they've hurt me, or I got busy or interested in something else and just lost contact. It's not usually misanthropy. We prize self-reliance, and the trade-off for that is we are just not people focused.
ISTPs are covert nerds. They look cool because of Se.
I’m in this post and I don’t like it
ISTP female here. Loved your video. Spot on with what you said. I crave variety in my life and it's taken some really awful admin type repetitive jobs to learn that's not were I thrive. I love to craft and to cook, and I have plenty of skill when it comes to using my hands. I'm an estate agent that deals with industrial commercial property - what I think is the perfect career for me. In my late 30's and I still need to remind myself to show affection to my family in a way that speaks to them...but I'm learning.
One of the greatest descriptions I've heard regarding my fellow ISTPs is that given our vast capability, we can do anything "if we want". I can fix that, if I want. I can say that, if I want. I can learn that, if I want. Best part, we usually want to. Biggest thing for us, and what I've recently learned, is that having a direction is extremely important to our success. As one going through a sort of "career crisis", I feel as though I'm just this ball of energy that can be sent in all different ways but without clear direction, there is no action.
Do what compels and you'll find it.
I was istp once. then i tried to lay flooring. can confirm i am no longer istp.
Ha ha - brilliant.
Finally! 😜 Thank you. This is great.
Why would anyone not want to accept being an ISTP? 😕 It's not always the easiest life but I wouldn't want a different one.
Thank you for getting past the carpenter stereotype!
Some people love that work, especially high end, pretty stuff. But that's not what every ISTP enjoys. And while I've been a first responder, my eyesight precluded a real career (ditto for flying planes).
Finding alternatives that don't come from children's books, is a real boon for ISTPs.
Fixing stuff is our 'love language." Push back enough and we feel rejected or even hated.
Interview sounds intriguing (answered your written questions in Personality Cafe DM a few weeks ago).
I don't do Facebook any more. It wasn't healthy for me. Ti got into pointless debates and alienated people, and Se turned full-blown narcissistic, with social media. It just felt so good to stop.
Oh... one more thing I've struggled with without even knowing it for a long time.
With Fi so weak, authenticity is something we don't think about.
This can bite us if we spend too much energy on other people's love languages, feelings, etc. One day we wake up and think, "Where the hell am I in this?"
And we're pissed off.
We can get pretty destructive to relationships, jobs, etc. if we get to this point.
This is important to know and to balance out. It's great to learn other love languages but not at the expense of our Selves.
Very true.
This is exactly where I am right now. It's hard to tamper down at work when I just want to destroy my life, consequences be damned. I've never needed to be alone so much in my life, just to get some of myself back.
"With Fi so weak, authenticity is something we don't think about."
But we do think about it, its very crucial.
"And we're pissed off. "
And that is why authenticity is very important because we dont wanna help fake people with fake emotions.
The problem is just, that is hard to tell the difference until you learn the difference
Female ISTP here. Yes, don't vent to me because I will try to fix it!😂 And if you ask me to help and keep trying to figure it out and tell me to do it your way because my way is wrong? No, leave me alone to fix it because if you make it all complicated or express dissatisfaction with the result that you didn't have when you asked me to help you? Well, you'll go in my, 'you're stupid, you annoy me', column and I'll never help you again!😂🤣😂🤣
Same. I automatically start fixing.
i can't rely on Fe cause it can be awkard.
If someone doesn't want something fixed, I want to know why not.
If they don't want to fix something, then they should STFU about it. Complaining without the intention of using the information to fix the problem, seems stupid and inconsiderate.
@@barrydworak Well said! BTW? It 'seems' stupid & inconsiderate because..... it is!
OMYHEAD! LOL!
People that display this behavior, immediately move to my 'you're stupid, you annoy me column', where they lose any chance of interaction w/me. These type of people 'live in their feelings' and everything & everyone is supposed to be subject to them.
I am unable to tolerate, 'itsallaboutmyfeelings', people! They'll impulsively sacrifice solutions, productivity, their over all good, ( including yours, mine and everyone else's), just to sooth & feed their 'feelings'! HelltotheNo!
Well said! I do this too, like why come to complain to me about your situation just to not listen to my advice to help and let the problem persist? Like no thank you, I don’t need to get my time wasted👋🏽
I am a female ISTP who has been in a Ti-Ni loop. It's terrible, the only Se that takes me out of the loop is physical activity.
sometimes I’d take an Fi-Si superego loop over the Ti-Ni loop. the urgency is horrendous.
I'm an istp and I watched this all because I liked the overall way of explaining. 🖤 Nice voices too 🤣.
10:32 facts facts facts. Recently I finally figured out a realistic long-term goal for myself and I've never felt more grounded and driven.
Bruh, I have very few friends. One of my closest friends is an ISTP and is one of my very favourite people. A surprisingly good friend among other types as well as extremely creative and level-headed. I don't want to play favourites either, but I'm playing favourites. ISTPs and INFJs (especially INFJs with a strong Ti) make great friends. Thanks for the video.
That's awesome! :) Let us know if he wants to be interviewed :)
Why don't we ISTPs have enough friends? Maybe we just keep going off and getting into new obsessions, so we disappear.
@@barrydworak I myself am an INFJ, so I'm not exactly sure why ISTPs wouldn't have many friends, as I don't see life from your perspective. From what I can see, they are quite aloof, can be quite blunt, their humour can be subtle and clever and even stabbing. They don't really give off an "I want to be friends!" kind of vibe. I quite like these things about them, but a great number of people (the more sensitive feelers) probably wouldn't appreciate these traits.
To be honest, I feel ISTPs could have lots of friends if they chose to. Let's get real, though. Friends take work and can be overly-demanding for time and attention.
In my own opinion, though, an ISTP friend is a friend worth holding on to.
It would be cool if more people recognized that.
An ISTP, once we've decided you're a friend, would run into a burning building for you, even if weren't on speaking terms at the time.
But people think we're jerks, because we say snide stuff to entertain ourselves.
@@barrydworak Pffft "We say snide stuff to entertain ourselves" 😂 It's true though haha. And the depth of loyalty you're speaking of seems to be true as well.
You're right, it is a shame. Perhaps you can think of it a different way. There are a lot of people in this world content with their drama and happy to live blindly in their ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and irrationality. I couldn't see ISTPs deeply appreciating friends like that, and there are an enormous amount of people fitting that description. It's going to be quality of friends above quantity for ISTPs.
The people who do value you will recognize the excellent qualities you possess and put in the effort to keep you around. I, for one, am in that camp 👍🏻
I was pretty shocked when I watch this video. You pretty much nailed everything right on the money. I am an ISTP. However there is a whole lot more to it. Anytime you ever want to interview me I will be more than happy!
ISTP and ready to be interviewed
I interviewed you, my friend :)
I’m ISTP the most stereotypical I think, I make a living from driving large machinery, I have a racing car I work on and race as a hobby, now looking into doing my pilots license along with joining the army as a reserve soldier
ISTP. Would love to do an interview. My most recent challenge as an ISTP is using my Fe more to be less oblivious to people’s feelings but I then find myself relying to heavily on my Ni and end up diving down the rabbit hole of paranoia. Thoughts?
Lol people only admire ISTPs on the internet it seems. irl ISTP are ignored usually.
Well there are people that like me that have known me personally.
But People that doesn't know me usually don't even consider me to find interesting.
From what i've gathered that's the usual case with other ISTPs.
you are right. lol
Yeah, people love the idea of an ISTP, but in actual practice....
I'm one. And to a large extent, I don't care about it. As long as there are the few with whom we mutually enjoy each other's company, I don't care about the rest.
I also don't put much energy into knowing others.
Oh...now I get it.... When you said that when ISTP's are younger, they use their Se and as they grow ,they tap more into the Ni... And this tends to put them in the Ti-Ni loop...
When I was younger, I always wanted to go out and have fun and just experience things. And now I'm in my early 20s, I've started to sit down and think about the meaning of things...still very much fact based though . And now I need to actually put my Se to use, to actually test if my theories are right or not...
Does this fit right with an ISTP profile?
The same thing happened to me.. I always was outside, played football, table tennis, or anything else.
Now I feel like I need "a reason" to do anything. I mostly watch CZcams now. It started with learning new skills, knowledge, but also just entertainment.
I feel stuck in a Ti-Ni loop and don't have a real goal. My motivation comes and goes, but it's not consistent.
Not having a goal sucks and you can only distract yourself for so long before it gets boring and later depressing.
I had to do a Myers Briggs for Commanding General Staff College in the Army. They typed me as an INTJ. But every time I see a well done video on ISTP, like this one, I realize how wrong that typing was. Because I was an academic, jock, outdoorsman, and tinkerer, I dismissed Myers Briggs as a horoscope for educated people. And since most descriptions of ISTP are "mechanic," that didn't fit either. Now that I have learned more about the functions, I am beginning to think that Myers Briggs might have a little truth to it, and I am probably an ISTP. Your description hit the nail on the head.
Been waiting for this one, thanks! Also im open for an interview too

Type Cast Heroes I actually commented on your reddit post and did the interview on reddit
Hello first time commenter long time ISTP.......I hope you got that joke. Anyway. I must say that i think Amanda is absolutely beautiful. Her smile is intoxicating.....ok I'm going back into my hole now ttfn
Having worked in infrastructure electronics manufacturing my indicator of a bad day was when engineers would come down and say those dreaded words "in theory" and "should" when introducing a new unit type or process for how we do things.
I literally laughed at the Ron Swanson comment, my friends love to send those meme and I finally watched the show...so maybe. Very comprehensive video...I definitely need a goal without one, I just lost. But I am super protective of my ideas and theories. Except I feel like a talk a lot. I'm a female ISTP so maybe society has tainted me. I'm trying to use Fe more, after a few tough relationships.
Really dig the perspective on Ni in relation to Se. haven't done an interview about my would like to if possible. Pretty sure i'm an ISTP.
Well ISTPs can't necessarily be what they want(tho i got your point). Specifically jobs that require Ne.
I can see ISTPs struggling in the field of cutting edge research. Or the field of abstraction. They are not usually fan of that though abstraction has it's usefulness.
6:05- yes I find when I change my opinion it’s hard to accept I’m trying to change that about myself personally bc I’m very vocal about my opinion or I feel it inside haha
Forty-nine years living with one such Lady is an exuberant journey that allows me to appreciate & respect your excellent sharing & INSIGHT. My ENTJ "Brim wearing" appreciates with the deepest respect, the synergy that has been created in 'this couples' creativity as I comingle with my 2%er Lady. All as we engage this 3rd Rock from the Sun with vigor. Your presentation & mission objective is worthy insight toward a desire to enrich our bond & productivity with joyful satisfaction. I fully understand with Awh & appreciation what this ISTP 2% population of Ladies offers up as they "Glow in the Dark".
-- virtus junxit mors non-seperabit -- 14* Keep on keeping on! You make a difference.
I thought my partner was a ESTP, until I watched this video. Spot on girls. Love it. Xx
🏴👍🏻 CZcams and the internet if used intelligently are very educational. I wish as an ISTP that I had such a resource compared to the University education I had in the late 1960’s.
It took a long time, but here I am
excellent video. I am an ISTP girl and I like my type very much.
I CANNOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MY FI AND TI THEYRE LITERALLY SO SIMILAR !!! Helppppppp
One way to distinguish is:
Fi's won't act unless it feels right to them.
Ti's will act and then expect for the feelings to follow.
Sometimes one is the right choice and at other times the other is right. Regardless of type, strike a balance.
HELLO! spot on to more of the questions i am asking :) so thank you somuch for your insight ladies
Genuine, authentic and beautiful....
ISTP here I care about ur feelings I just forget about them.
One last thing when I show up to solve ur issue, I thought about you when I heard and felt love at that moment by the time I get there I'm ready to get @#$& done 😳😁🤣
90% sure im an istp, thanks for making this video
Funny thing is ISTPs can be psychologist given they use their Ni.
But they will get bored when it's the same patient that doesn't listen
Especially since ISTPs have under developed Fe.
ISFJ parent can grow ISTP's Fe. Can also tame ISTP stubbornness with Fe.
ISFJ parent also accepts Ti reasons.
I’m an ISTP woman and would be willing to interview
Thank you so much! Please message us on FB/IG or email us at typecastheroes@gmail.com 🖤

Would be interested in being interviewed.
ISTP: Few words. Writing book.
I feel like ISFPs get treated as illogical and the trash of the MBTI types sadly. I got ISTP recently when i took the test lol Got ISFP twice before! Also got ENTP ik its confusing!
Is it common that ISTP mistyped as INFJ? Cause it happened to me when the first time I took the test on 16p website. 😅
Yes! I see it ALL THE TIME!
ISTP here mistyped as INFJ by 16p
nailed it.
Honestly how do I improve Fe? Mine's horrible.
I’m an ISTP and can be interviewed
