[MBTI General] You know you are an ISTP/ ISFP/ ESTP/ESFP when..?

[Anew Leaf]

You know you are an STP when you realize that a statue is just a statue and not as one may fear, a very still assassin.

U know your an STP when the people at haunted houses give up trying to scare you.

I'm pretty sure I fear job interviews more than any monster. Heh..

You know your ISTP when people give up trying to joke with you because you always catch their bullshit.

Remind me not to shake your hand

[jixmixfix]

lol I love this.

this is true.

 

[jixmixfix]

Remind me not to shake your hand

Don't worry I wash them regularly.

(1) You know you're an ESTP when you point out silly errors for the sake of it.

I thought this was an INTP thing.

(2) You know you're an ESTP when you have a huge interview tomorrow and you can't stop running around like batshit to prepare for it.

I see ESTPs as being the types more likely to just go in there and "wing it." I would expect J types to prepare more.

(3) You know you're an ESTP when you do descending drop sets to failure on every exercise at the gym, every time you go. umpyouup:

I don't know how ESTP that is.


(4) You know you're an ESTP when you finish other people's sentences for them because they are talking too slow and you're impatient.

That seems like ESTP

(5) You know you're an ESTP when you tell someone to do something and they don't get right to it, you follow up with "NOW!"

Could be ESTP or just impatience. I know some Te dominants who are like that.

(6) You know you're an ESTP when you are at a huge international airport, and the escalators are full of people going up and down a 5 story multi-landing terminal, and you have a shitload of baggage, and there is no one on the stairs, and you bolt up the stairs two to three steps in each stride all the way to the top without stopping for a breath, and then walk calmly toward your gate.

Same as #5

I do all these except 4 and 5...

 

[mcgooglian]

U know your an STP when the people at haunted houses give up trying to scare you.

You know you're an STP when you shake hands with the people who jump out at you.

[Poki]

You know you're an STP when you shake hands with the people who jump out at you.

When its your job to keep everyone moving forward when they are pushing pulling backwards.

 

[mcgooglian]

Yeah, I remember going into a haunted house with an INFP and an INTJ. The INFP wouldn't let go of me and I just kept doing stuff like waving at the people who'd jump out.

 

[Chaotic Harmony]

You know your ISFP when you make 20 an hour and can't seem to save a penny in the bank.

My sis is a J and she can't save but I'm really good at it so I dunno. I just assume ISFPS hate responsibility.

Eh, I can't relate to either of those. I've always been pretty frugal with my money. I've got multiple accounts at the bank. I really don't have a problem with responsibility at all. Probably a good thing since I work in a department where I have access to everyone's personal information.

 

[ChocolateMoose123]

You know your an STP when you walk around the kitchen island eating because its better then sitting at the table and eating.

You know your an STP when your pacing and someone asks if you are stressed and you respond "no, I am bored"

You know your an STP when you have an axe and a chain saw and you choose to use the axe to cut down the tree just for fun.

You know your an STP when you have a physically challenge way and a simple way and you choose the physically challenging way just for fun.

yep.

 

[KDude]

No, I disagree with some of that. You can retype me if you want too. I'm not choosing the challenging option, just for the sake of it. I like configuring things to be easy. Ti seeks leverage for a situation. Se seeks action. One has a preference.

If I was in crisis, like some survival situation, I'd be the person who tried to think of smooth ways out of the situation. And smugly floated through as much as possible. Not the guy who relished in what a clusterfuck it was, and thought of it as some "rite of passage". That's definitely ESTP, but not me. Maybe ISTJs have a tolerance for trudging through crap too, for different reasons. Out of duty or something.

Yeah, I agree with this too. Probably related to being a more Ti-focused than Se-focused flavour of ISTP.

Im caught in the middle when it comes to my preference, hence my eSTP type. I think its the TiNi combination that seeks leverage. I go back and forth big time because I see things as the more I challenge myself the more leverage I have, but thats different then my thought based leverage. Difference of learning through action vs learning through analysis. I was playing a batman game with my brother and he was thinking his way through situations as to not die. I had as many lifes as I wanted so I took the route of go in and try something, once I get tired of that I do the analysis thing. I go back and forth alot. I pretty much always choose the challenge though whether it be action, knowledge, learning, etc. I dont know what it is about challenge, but I enjoy it. It forces you to leverage as much as you can.

You have some people who learn through action and will never back down to get help, and those that over analyse before they jump in. I am in the middle of those 2 and go back and forth.

lol Batman game.. Arkham Asylum?

It's hard to judge with that though, because there's no risk.. I'm the same as you then. In real life, it's a little more look before I leap. Once I get the hang of something, I'm good. I might even get ahead of myself later and stop thinking. Like maybe if there was a new sport, I'd take my time at first, but then get real stoked midway through (so I think Se is taking over here). Not just sports, but it could just be situating in a new environment or object. I recognize the challenge, but I'm not thrilled. I need to know how it works. Or if something is simply stupid or not. I don't have the enthusiasm of Se dominants.

I can go either way with money. If there is something I want I can be so driven and tight I squeak as I walk down the road. On the other hand my dad taught me it isn't wasted if you enjoyed yourself.

Yeah, I tend to look for the leverage. I'd agree with that.
