These are some fictional and real ISTPs that i'm completely sure about their type. BUT Dr House is NOT ISTP , He is intuitive !!

Real : Steve Jobs , Simon Cowell , Frank Lampard (Footballer) , Jack Dorsey (Founder of twitter), Bruce Lee , Woody Allen , Randy Couture.

Fictional : James Bond , Elliot Spencer (Leverage TNT) , Rust Cohle (True detective) , John wick.

While I guessed ISTP first too for him, I think a strong argument could be made for ISTJ for John Wick given his single-minded focus, patience, determination, and commitment to the long game. He also was good at turning over a new leaf and making a clean break (boundary enforcement) until circumstances forced his hand.

He seems to structured for ISTP though GF pegged me as highly capable of becoming him.

I have been pinned as a non-asshole house. Very strongly match his knowledge, sarcasm, and deep understanding of things. I am more logical though then he is.

It can get tricky to discern. My istp brother can be technically pedantic and paradoxically meticulous contradicting his general laissez faire aura, but not disciplined. He is really not that. Wick's success doesn't seem predicated on being meticulous so much as being thorough and driven. I'm splitting hairs, but it's tough to justify an impression which is really what I am working from.
