[ISTP] New labels for ISTp's other than "mechanic".

[Lexicon]

I hate blood and anything gross like that almost puked after my class had to dissect a pig.

You disappoint me, then!

 

[WALMART]

The Professional.

The Professional.

Any type can be a "professional" that's not really indicative of ISTP.

Yes "professional" in a traditional sense, just as any type can be any of these labels being ascribed. However, ISTP's have a cold, professional demeanor to life that is nearly unrivaled. Here are some excerpts from an article on the Delta/Thinking quadra:

"Its perception of the world is harsh and realistic."

"This is the most cost-conscious quadra which is able to efficiently consume and prefers high quality and sturdy products."

"Social mission of "delta" quadra therefore is to ensure the stable development and judicious use of accumulated resources while preparing the ground for the weak seeds of new."

And so forth.

 

[PJWakt]

Resourceful tactician

 

[Vasilisa]

Logistician

Hold it right there. I thought itt you are discussing Maxim Gorky, the LSI, the guy that has Ti in his main function.


You could call him The Simplifier or Inspector.

For an ISTj? I'd take that, "The Inspector".

 

[Ene]

Efficient.

 

[Sunny Ghost]

I like technical artist. And the quietly cool kids. But ISTP's can be nerdy, too.

 

[JivinJeffJones]

Survivalist

They'd make great emergency room surgeons. Glorified mechanics, not scared of blood or people freaking out, can evaluate/diagnose/resolve the issue while everyone else panics.
I'm sure there's a fun buzzword around all.. that.

Haha there's actually a bit of truth here.

 

[Randomnity]

Surgeon, scientist, tactician, realist, problem-solver. Something about taking in chaos and simplifying it to its basic essentials. Kind of the opposite of an artist, actually.

 

[sculpting]

I call my istp mother in law snailcrusher

technical artist is a very good term. There is a beauty in what istps do that surpasses simple "mechanic". It appears to me as machinery in motion, with an eye for precision, detail and elegance, with meaning embedded in the final product, but an insistence on reality that allows for much more flexibility and adaptability in the final product than intps.

I always picture the ISTP as the lone silhouette walking away from the huge explosion, back turned... just kind of sauntering off knowing everything is fine now that they've attended to it and letting everyone deal with figuring out the rest...

My ISTP little brother is a scientist through and through. Has been ever since he was 3 and made observations of tadpoles in the muck.

I do like "realist". At least it's better than craftsman or mechanic

 

[Hate]

Grease monkey

 

[Poki]

I was called an artist recently, grease monkey fits, frequently called a genius.

 

[Poki]

Poseidon, Clark gable, cupid

 

[Poki]

Aries - god of war from zena...I think this is more based on looks then anything else though.

'Realists' suck. It's so anti Ni one could argue; Ni being their tert. Realists wouldn't try to change what they perceive as what is. That suits ISTJs more. ISTPs are introverted catalysts; more so than any other IxxP type - unless we are talking about a vocal Fi dom who is riding a horse somewhere in France -.How about the expert?
