[ISTP] ISTPs. Come here. NOW.

[HotpinkHeatwave]

Where the hell are you? I'm interested atleast meeting ONE ISTP in my lifetime (I swear I have yet to meet one), but where do I look? Is there a certain distinct behavior in ISTPs that I can look for?

 

[miss fortune]

my advice is to browse the clearance section of a video game store... I know that's a dependable place to find mine anyways...

 

[Amargith]

Ime, they find you

 

[countrygirl]

That title of your thread is a booty call....

You'll find them at their hobbies whatever it is.

A hobby store maybe, or like.. A quiet pool/darts/shuffleboard/whatever pro at a bar.

Hi. Your topic title convinced me in creating an account after 2 months of lurking.

 

[rhinosaur]

I bet you've met one and just don't realize it.

You're an ENFP. You have good athletic abilities. Go to the gym and look for a group of men playing a game of basketball or volleyball. Find the one man who stands out as the best natural athlete.

His movements are generally smooth and stealthy, then quick and explosive when he decides to make his move. He jumps higher and faster than everyone else.

This guy has a intense, angry look on his face. He's concentrating 100% on the court, and says nothing other than yelling at his teammates to try harder. If he's on the sidelines he's watching the game closer than anyone. He seems to care more about this random pickup game than anyone else in the gym.

Find the guy who fulfills these traits and you've got your ISTP. Of course there might not be one there that day. Only 5% of the population...

Examples of the intense ISTP face:

Um, if you go to the gym to find that arent you just gonna find someone who tends to bring seriousness to a game that is supposed to be fun. A professional sport, game, practice is different then a backyard game of basketball. I would say be aware as someone who takes a gym game this serious probably applies this in other areas as well. Irregardless of type.

Haha! Well, you're welcome I guess.

Probably! I might even KNOW an ISTP without realizing.. But I really don't think so.

Ugh. I really dislike sports and I dislike being at the gym. It just doesn't interest me at all. I think it is because above all, I do NOT like competition. It irritates me to see people trying so hard to be better than everyone else. But anyhow, I'll take this advice and stop by the gym, just to observe. Shouldn't my attention naturally shift towards an ISTP?

If you hear a devastating one-liner come from someone who is otherwise quiet, your search is over.

depends on what you mean by devastating. But yes one liners from an otherwise quiet person is normal for an ISTP.

Um... Where do I spend time? I don't even know. I spend a lot of it at home on my computer or watching random stuff on Netflix. I'm not one of the very athletic ones altho I have a bike and sometimes I hike. I haven't done either in awhile 'cause it's too cold. I'm a programmer. I'm not likely to talk much with random people about work 'cause I know you think it's boring (as far as programmers go). I get glazed looks all of the time. I elaborate when they ask something like "What language?" and take it from there, lol.

If you meet one, offer him/her some food. We'll come out and play for food. Preferably bacon.

Oh my god you made me snort my cranberry juice, you bastard. My dad does this all the time. As an example, after I hadn't gone to visit my parents for a while:

Me: *goes to hug dad*
Dad: *extends hand for a shake*
Me: Why do you keep trying to shake my hand! *hugs*
Dad: I always shake strangers' hands.
Me: ......ouch. >.>

ALSO!

Me: Dad...I've gained weight! Do I look fat? ;_;
Dad: *explosive snicker*
Me: Oh, you son of a bitch...
Dad: *fake angelic expression* What?

Devastatingly funny and accurate.

If it were mean and inaccurate, that would be ENTJ.

Go to a car show, endless amount of straight faced machine whisperers there

In a bar? If there is a unoccupied pool table it won't be that way for long.

In a room full of people? The quiet one who is looking around like they are going to steal something and laughing at nearby conversations even though they aren't actively involved in them.

Oh. Also the person who leaves a party without saying goodbye to anyone.

This too.
