Oh, man. I realize this is an incredibly old thread, but it was one of the Similar Thread links on the "ISTP or ADD" thread. Frankly, I was curious. And I approve of this message, wherever it came from.
Yeah, that's true, too, now that it's pointed out. It kinda goes along with how I can't really take myself seriously... Cuz I always get slightly perturbed with people that either come off as pretentious or take themselves too seriously. I don't know why that's related, but somehow it is in my brain.
You'll want to consult verified ISTPs (i.e., peek into a store's repair room), but from my experience with them: all, regardless of intelligence, have shown a discomfort with figurative language; accompanied by a personal preference for slang and, when required to speak technically or academically, a tendency to compensate by summarizing with a playful simile, or even inserting a glib (or mildly profane) remark.
