[ISTP] ISTPS at TypeC

[Amargith]

So...for all your talk about people being idiots and for all your 'it is what it is' mantras and for all your Se-no nonsense/the here and now is what matters-attitude, you seem to be the ones (out of all S's) that are most densely populating TypeC, even overtaking ISFPs.


Why is that?

When it comes to self analysis TP types probably are more concerned with the perfectionist aspect of it - what works, why it worked, what went wrong, how could I avoid it from happening again etc. So a forum would be a gold mine to gather infor and ask questions. Also istps ask a lot of questions have you noticed? This is not to know about the other but probably to understand thinking patterns to make more sense of the world. You see istps like to make sense of the world. So again for an istp a forum is a gold mine to make sense of the world and others.

To call people like you idiots and give you a send-off with "it is what it is."
Satisfied?

If I'm not asking the questions I'm usually thinking about them in my head constantly.

that's Ti for you... which reminds me: we've debated this in the council chambers, and i think there's a general consensus that ISTPs should join the NT club.

I'm not sure if that's simply "TI" or me trying to clarify misinformation "Te"?. I guess it's a bit of both?

Ti is usually very much a question-generating mechanism, wondering about and exploring the data (from any perceiving function). Te places all the information bits it perceives into a goal - how do i get from A to Z. it doesn't quite wonders around.

FYI - if you're questioning yourself between ISTJ and ISTP, you come across very much as an ISTP.

more importantly: when will know of your answer? (joining the NT club)?

I don't see the contradiction.

At least for me I don't feel like you need to duck and cover on this one, I'm not upset by your question but it seems motivated less by actual curiosity and more by the desire to prove a point or possibly get back at someone who you feel slighted you? So...just come out with it, Amar.

Are you kidding me!? I see jixmixfix as ISTJ; very average and realistic rather than reasoned and dynamic.

idk random I just felt like randomly disagreeing with you.

 

[RaptorWizard]

Who thinks I'am an ISTP? Vote for this if you believe it!

I came across a dilemma in my typing as I am both ISTp in socionics and MBTI ISTP. Socionics uses SI Te for ISTp and as I read through the socionics descriptions I am definitely not ISTJ in that system. There are bits and pieces in that I agree I am TI and then there are some where I think I am Si. Both socionics and MBTi have their own idea of the functions and this is why I think there is a conflict between the two systems. I don't think I will ever come to a conclusion until I read Jungs book or find significant information on how Jung types since he is the originator after all. When I find extra time I will definitely do this. I actually think Te does wonder around because Te finds pleasure in manipulating it's external environment. In order to do this you needs to know the nature of your external environment "SI".

Average? how are ISTJ's "average?" they are rigid, organized left brain thinkers for the most part not "average" this is probably why you don't even know your own type.

 

[RaptorWizard]

They are average because they are very predictable and do the right thing rather than take extreme measures to become something greater.
Those are good qualities; they are not incredible qualities.
Don't take everything I say too seriously either, as it's just fun to cause chaos!

I think your definition of the word "average" is off. Clearly ISTJ's can go to extreme measures have you ever seen an ISTJ cop, firefighter or soldier in the military? There are a ton of them and they risk their lives every day.

True, very true. Those are good points! ISTJs do indeed show amazing efforts of bravery and valor when overcoming adversity, or at least they can when given proper motivation.

By the way, I am typed right now via sig and user info as intp, and you said in my thread that you were sure I'm intp, so by your terms, I do too know my type!

MBTI INTP or ENTP for sure.

P.S I'm an MBTI ISTP.

why would aircraft pilots be more than taxi drivers....isn't being on the road suppose to be more dangerous than being in the air? I'm also pretty damn sure that being in the military is dangerous.
