10 Signs that you are an ISTP

JustDave · 04-05-2008, 12:38 AM

10 signs that you are an ISTP (in no particular order).

1. Every time you see Briggs Myers you think of Briggs & Stratton.

2. You own a tool for every occasion.

3. When you were young you wanted to be a: master thief, assassin, ninja, pilot, race car driver, etc.

4. You are actually happy when your computer breaks because you get to fix it.

5. Contrary to# 4, you get tired of your friend, aunt, uncle. etc. asking you to fix their computer, TV, etc. for the millionth time.

6. Although to strangers you appear to be a risk taker, you know that everything is under control.

7. Get extremely annoyed when unwelcome people invade your space.

8. Anger is fleeting. You occasionally get very angry but it quickly dissipates.

9. You do what you want, when you want, how you want, but would never infringe on another person ability to do the same.

10. Although you aren't always a nice person, you are a good person.

(11. You're not good at following arbitrary rules.)

Apparently I'm only 40% ISTP. Tragic.

I think you'll live.

Just curious, which four did you relate to?

Randomnity · 04-05-2008, 12:48 AM

The last 4, interestingly (I didn't count 11).

Thank you.

In fairness to you and the other female ISTPs, I'm a guy so my list might have a slight gender bias.

1 - i can leave this blank if i want to.

2 - you're good in bed -Lookin4theBestNU

3 - you've made your own explosives/projectiles/napalm

4 - you think the whole MBTI "types" thing is dumb

5 - the only way most people can entertain you is if you're getting a rise out of them

6 - your favorite word is "why?"

7 - you think a blank stare is an adequate response to anything

8 - anything that that involves machinery spinning at high RPMs makes you drool

9 - you think signs, curbs, and lines on the road are more of a suggestion

10 - you'd buy a jetpack without thinking twice

12 - Have a fondness for dogs.
