Features
ISTPs are typically quiet, realistic, independent, and highly pragmatic people and come across as objective, even-tempered and unflappable in almost all situations. ISTPs, while often people of few words, they do enjoy joking around with people they know fairly well. Direct, honest, and down-to-earth, ISTP’s typically prefer to skip a lot of theoretical analysis or future predictions in favor of getting right to the bottom line and the relevant facts and figures. They can be veritable storehouses of information on things they know well and understand. Because they are realists, they are able to capitalize well on available resources, which make them practical, with a good sense of timing. ISTPs have an innate understanding of how mechanical things work and are usually skilled at using tools. They tend to make logical and private decisions, stating things clearly and directly, just as they see them.
ISTPs Tend To Be:
• Able to work well independently with defined tasks & tangible products
• Keen observers; excellent memory for factual information
• Highly logical thinkers; able to bring order to confusing & recognizable facts
• Able to stay calm & cool in a crisis or under pressure
• Highly resourceful and pragmatic
• Great at identifying the most practical, simple solution to what may seem complex
More on ISTPs
Like their fellow SPs, ISTPs are fundamentally Performers, but as Ts their areas of interest tend to be mechanical rather than artistic like those of ISFPs, and unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity. On the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they launch themselves at it. The apparently frenzied state that inevitably ensues is actually much more controlled than it appears--ISTPs always seem to know what they're doing when it comes to physical or mechanical obstacles--but the whole chain of events presents a confusing and paradoxical picture to an outsider.
ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space, which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others. They need to be able to "spread out"--both physically and psychologically--which generally implies encroaching to some degree on others, especially if they decide that something of someone else's is going to become their next project. (They are generally quite comfortable, however, with being treated the same way they treat others--at least in this respect.) But because they need such a lot of flexibility to be as spontaneous as they feel they must be, they tend to become as inflexible as the most rigid J when someone seems to be threatening their lifestyle (although they usually respond with a classic SP rage which is yet another vivid contrast to their "dormant," impassive, detached mode). These territorial considerations are usually critical in relationships with ISTPs; communication also tends to be a key issue, since they generally express themselves non-verbally. When they do actually verbalize, ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.
ISTPs generally have the following traits:
-Interested in how and why things work
-Do not function well in regimented, structured environments; they will either feel stifled or become intensely bored
-Constantly gather facts about their environment and store them away
-Have an excellent ability to apply logic and reason to their immense store of facts to solve problems or discover how things work
-Learn best "hands-on"
-Usually able to master theory and abstract thinking, but don't particularly like dealing with it unless they see a practical application
-Action-oriented "doers"
-Focused on living in the present, rather than the future
-Love variety and new experiences
-Highly practical and realistic
-Excellent "trouble-shooters", able to quickly find solutions to a wide variety of practical problems
-Results-oriented; they like to see immediate results for their efforts
-Usually laid-back and easy-going with people
-Risk-takers who thrive on action
-Independent and determined - usually dislike committing themselves
-Usually quite self-confident
Traits
The ISTP is fortunate because they have the abilities to be good at many different kinds of tasks. Their introverted and thinking preferences give them the ability to concentrate and work through problems which leaves many doors open to them. However, to be happiest, the ISTP needs to lead a lifestyle which offers a great deal of autonomy and does not include much external enforcement of structure. ISTPs will do best working for themselves, or working in very flexible environments. Their natural interests lie towards applying their excellent reasoning skills against known facts and data to discover underlying structure, or solutions to practical questions.
Possible Career Paths for the ISTP:
-Police and Detective Work
-Forensic Pathologists
-Computer Programmers, System Analysts and Computer Specialists
-Engineers
-Carpenters
-Mechanics
-Pilots, Drivers, Motorcyclists
-Athletes
-Entrepreneurs
My Thoughts and Feelings
I would firstly like to apologise for copying and pasting this whole chunk into my post. I am always doing personality quizzes, and collecting a lot information, in the hope that I will be able to know and distinguish myself better. So yeah.
Judging by the percentages in the first part of thisreally long post, I guess I really am pretty much average. Personally, I am quite shocked reading the results of the quiz. While I do agree that my personality type is ISTP, its more defined characteristics puzzle me quite a bit. I appreciate and like art. I appreciate IT-related things too. The 'like' part is, however, another matter. Or at least in school, which mostly consists of Cinema 4D and animation (in which I seriously perform averagely). I admit I like tackling codes and troubleshooting glitches though. Maybe, given that I fulfill the time and patience needed (which I doubtly think is possible), this can eventually, actually be true.
The rest is absolutely agreeable, especially the underlined ones, and the 'Thinkers' part. I often think too much (which also often results in too-late actions). It quite highlights my tendency to lack commitment in teamwork and be direct too.
Career-wise, I have always secretly wanted to be involved in police and detective work and also be a forensic pathologist, which I have probably derived from my fondness of mysteries. The quiz being able to show this both quite surprises and amazes me, as it has for most of its results.
This personality test has enabled me to distinguish my strengths, and magnify my weaknesses. With this done, I hope I can drive myself to become a better person and use this to achieve my goals more efficiently with an open mind and ability to just let others take control for a while, instead of doing everything alone.
Wrapping it all up, I hope this has helped you to know me better, as it has helped me to understand myself more. Good day :D
