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

1. Every time you see Briggs Myers you think of Briggs & Stratton.
LOL, not in my case.
2. You own a tool for every occasion.
Like tools of all kinds.
3. When you were young you wanted to be a: master thief, assassin, ninja, pilot, race car driver, etc.
I just wanted to be the Fonz lol.
4. You are actually happy when your computer breaks because you get to fix it.
Like fixing computers.
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.
Nope, basically never see my family. They are all 3,000 miles away, and none of my new friends know I can fix their computers :newwink:
6. Although to strangers you appear to be a risk taker, you know that everything is under control.
Totally, although I have lost control here and there from taking too many risks.
7. Get extremely annoyed when unwelcome people invade your space.
Totally hate it. I don't want anyone or their crap in my room, and I dislike having strangers in my home.
8. Anger is fleeting. You occasionally get very angry but it quickly dissipates.
Yes, it used to be much worse. It takes a lot to anger me now, but when I get angry, watch out lol.
9. You do what you want, when you want, how you want, but would never infringe on another person ability to do the same.
Not really, in my relationship. I used to be more this way, but compromising and a relationship has changed that a bit I think. The more demands that are placed on me, the more demanding I become in exchange (I think it's like, "if you are going to demand this, then I am going to take some of your freedom too.") With strangers and friends, I have always been this way and will stand up for their right to live as they wish.
10. Although you aren't always a nice person, you are a good person.
Yes.
(11. You're not good at following arbitrary rules.)
I'll follow rules if I see a use for them. If not, I will break them at will, as long as the consequences are not too harsh for doing so. If the rules become too many and too unreasonable, I will leave and take my business elsewhere.

When you boil and Egg in soup water to save a pot.:cheese:

Cheese is relative. What is "hot" today will be "cheese" eventually, sooner or later. (or if you're like me, you think popular culture is cheesy no matter what).
For an ISTP, being a clown is inevitable. It just happens when you finally embrace who you are. Cheese is actually likable, and it makes other people believe you are harmless, so you can hide all of the hateful things you actually think about people lol........

I'd say it's a long fuse but powerful explosion.

I relate to all of this. Can I be an honorary ISTP? :puppy_dog_eyes:

There's so much male bias in the ISTP descriptions. *grumps* Anyway.

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

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

2. You own a tool for every occasion.
I own a computer and a cell phone. Pretty much all I need.

3. When you were young you wanted to be a: master thief, assassin, ninja, pilot, race car driver, etc.
I still do. Accounting is my back-up plan, you see.

4. You are actually happy when your computer breaks because you get to fix it.
Whenever I'm having computer problems, I feel less happy, more this

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.
Yes. Just because I know more than you, doesn't mean I know everything. Call a professional.

6. Although to strangers you appear to be a risk taker, you know that everything is under control.
Yeah, my grandma keeps on like, "You're going to catch pneumonia if you go out with your hair wet," and I'm like, "And if I do, my immune system will take care of it, BAM!"

7. Get extremely annoyed when unwelcome people invade your space.
GTFO doesn't even begin to cover it.

8. Anger is fleeting. You occasionally get very angry but it quickly dissipates.
Yep. And it's not like I'm this super-nice, forgiving person. It's just a waste of my energy and time.

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

10. Although you aren't always a nice person, you are a good person.
That's one way of putting it.

(11. You're not good at following arbitrary rules.)
Rules are made to be broken... unless it'll land me in jail or dead.

1 - i can leave this blank if i want to.
Hell yeah, be a rebel.

2 - you're good in bed -Lookin4theBestNU
And if you don't believe me, I can prove it.

3 - you've made your own explosives/projectiles/napalm
I'm too young to die.

4 - you think the whole MBTI "types" thing is dumb
More or less. I'm just here for the food.

5 - the only way most people can entertain you is if you're getting a rise out of them
It's not the only way, but it is pretty darn entertaining.

6 - your favorite word is "why?"
Why do you say that?

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

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
Oh man, I've ran into so many things. No people yet, thankfully, unless you count the car they were in. >__>

10 - you'd buy a jetpack without thinking twice
See #3.
