There isn't a period when STP truly just sits it out and gathers a lot of the "how and why". Not unless forced. They keep a basic blueprint how things work, and the individual "hows and whys" show themselves in emerging situations, when a problem poses new facts. Then they adapt. They tend to learn the "how and why" by problem solving in real time. Whether it's sports, music, fixing a sink, sex, a video game, whatever. Even when it comes to passive, theoretical things like this subject - typology. I didn't have a period of really bunkering down and educating myself. The pieces fall together more as I interact with the system. Maybe a little Ni pops in too and I get aha moments. Te has an eye on wanting to retain more facts, external nuances, each occurance of how things play out, predictability. So the educational process is different.
I tend to like to learn and apply. In typology,I spent some time sitting down and learning the theory behind it all. The system, or systems to be more exact. That to me seems more interesting. Learning, trying it out, adapting it, learning some more. You might be right about istp tending to just jump in though, on here at least, and that'd be why most of them burn out.
The easiest time I have had with type is istp in socionics. I can see that easy.
