I guess it depends on the medium being used.
Be careful not to confuse Artisan which again Keirsey meant as any activity in which successive actions are free vaiables rather than fixed constants, with the term art especially fine art. Also as I stated earlier Keirsey says SPs and NTs are both "fitters" with Artisans having a practical and technique orientation and Rationals having a pragmatic and technology orientation. This is why I think that many STPs can easily become confused on whether they're being pragmatic or practical or using technique as opposed to being technology oriented. Pragmatism is related to the past, practical is usually based on the here and now, and technique can be developed in lieu of whether technology is being used.
