ISTP's in popular culture

[bilbotook]

The ISTP is one of the most bad-ass types. And, in my opinion, you'll never find anyone tougher. I used to not like them very much, but over time, they have made me like them. Here are a few excmples.

Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings
Altair from Assassin's Creed (my favorite character in the entire series)
James Bond from 007
Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games
Beorn from The Hobbit
Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles
Hawkeye and Black Widow from The Avengers
Drax and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy
Matthew Murdock from The Daredevil
Wolverine from X-Men
Rorschach from Watchmen
Darth Maul from Star Wars
Mike Heck from The Middle
Murray Goldberg from The Goldbergs
The Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Connor Kenway from Assassin's Creed (I think)

There's probably a whole lot more I know, but those are the ones I can think of on the top of my head.

One character comes to my mind and it's Al from Wharton's"Birdy"

 

[Evil Otter]

Aragorn strikes me as very emotionally in-touch, even if not outwardly emotional. ISFP, IMHO but I'm not expert at typing
Bond and Incredible seem more E-like to me

I would say Vigo Mortenson's (sp?) character in A History of Violence is an ISTP though

Im not sure about Ti for Aragorn? Do you have any examples of his Ti-Se use?

James Bond...it really depends on whether you're talking about the literary Bond (ISTP) or the cinematic Bond (depends on the actor):

Connery: ESTP
Lazenby: very much ESTP, even moreso than Connery's portrayal
Moore: ESTP in his earlier films, perhaps a bit more ESFP as he lightened to match the increasingly lighter tone of the films
Dalton: ISTP
Brosnan: ESTP
Craig: the most ISTP cinematic Bond

Why has no one mentioned Max Rockatansky (Mad Max)? That character usually tops any list of fictional ISTPs.

Not all of us were teens/young adults in the 80s. No mention of any Clint Eastwood characters on here either.

As for Bond I only refer to the movies... I'm an ISTP why would I read a book when so many good movies about it already exist? I want to see hot chicks and hear explosions <-- see how much cooler would that be if you could hear it

I never could get into BLAM!!!!! In comic books. Books are meant to learn things...lol.

At least half of the characters on that list predate the 90s.

It's hard to judge an ISTP when the person is doing what they have to instead of out of choice. Situation doesn't create an ISTP, it just makes someone act like one. Competence doesn't have as much to do with it either, that's experience and knowledge

Much like Altair, Aragorn prefers to do things his own way. While he respects the authority of royalties (inferior Fe), he won't just sit back and trust Theoden's Te. As for Se, Aragorn enjoys more physical activities. He knows he is destined to be the king of Gondor, yet he chooses a life of being a ranger who's always on the move and getting to swing his sword around all of the time.

 

[Such Irony]

Sawyer on the TV series LOST.

 

[bilbotook]

One obvious ISTP would be The Punisher from MARVEL comics. Also Django Freeman from Django Unchained.

Wow, as a woman, I love to be considered part of a scenario.

 

[bilbotook]

I'm actually starting to think Connor Kenway is an ISFP instead of an ISTP.

Wolf Larsen from J.London novel "The Sea-Wolf"

I really like the book Larsen is amazing character.

Wow, as a woman, I love to be considered part of a scenario.

My "scenario" may not even apply to you. It's kind of a subjective thing; eye of the beholder, and all that.

Remember taking offense is an effortless road. Realizing that people have their own subjective preferences in how they use their time and money, and then permitting each the freedom to exercise their conscience is much harder when it means feeling powerless and out of control of your environment, but it's this kind of realization that allows people to really live in relative harmony with one another. You likely wouldn't care that if I were buying a cologne I prefer to buy something that appeals to my senses, or if I adopt a dog and I'm more likely to adopt one that is large and shaggy simply because that is more aesthetically appealing to me.

Or maybe it's that I'm making a value judgment about a human being. Something I also do every time I choose to listen to Adele over Brittany Spears. I do it every time I, as a hockey coach, play a larger kid as a defense-man instead of a smaller kid who may even be a better skater. I even do it at work when I select specialist to carry out assignments instead of spreading them out evenly between all in my charge. And I work for the military, an organization notorious for denying employment to thousands of 18 year old high school graduates every year due to medical conditions, background checks, and even the individuals weight.

Food for thought.

Dylan from Bates Motel

I don't even know if I really get what you mean since the computer is too far away for I'm also using my desk for painting and it makes my vision tires and I get stressed out, but nope, I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't appreciate. What I am trying to tell you is that women aren't part of the scenario and shouldn't be THINGS you enjoy looking at, since we are actually human beings. What a concept, huh?
Anyway, I couldn't change your mind even if I wanted to because I don't even know your complete opinion on this matter. What I posted isn't even meant to make you think or anything, since, as you stated, it wouldn't be efficient. If I were in my efficiency mode, I wouldn't have posted anything. But I was in my "just played WoW for hours" mode.
