well when i read a description for an ISTP...they always seem like angry people, like people that rarely smile or have fun..

I'm asking the ISTP's here how you are/were during you're high school life/current life etc. Did you socialize a lot and have fun in high school?

I'm a ISXP...undecided still searching but i am probably ISFP anyways in my school, i'm pretty confident because i know the people a lot (this is my last year though) so i can comunicate like an extrovert really but outside i'm probably one of the most quietest people you'll meet. I always smile at people in the streets and stuff but yeahh....


I'm just aksing how you ISTP's are genreally.

I wasn't aware of that perception of ISTPs. My Dad's an ISTP an is a gregarious, easy-going guy who's always joking around, so that's how I tend to think of the type. :)

No, that's the INTJ. hahahahahha.

ISTPs like to focus on their projects. They can be quiet, broody, and intense. Otherwise, at least as far as I know from myself, I certainly like to muck about.

In high school I was (generally) quiet and kept to myself, but with people I knew I was more talkative. I don't smile at random people at the streets all that often, but I've always noticed a correlation between smaller towns and that sort of behavior. People in the city don't tend to smile at everyone they see. I don't know if that is related to type, and that's just my experience.

In high school I was very quiet but friendly. I wasn't shy but I just kept to myself most of the time. I didn't have one specific group of friends that I belonged to but managed to flit between a couple groups as a periphery. Which was fine by me. I was looking to get out quickly.

I don't think anyone peaks in high school. Anyone's best is yet to come. Regardless of type, your early-mid twenties is where you will spread out and get wild, make lots of mistakes, learn lessons, have fun and hate life at the same time. :)
