07:35 - Dominant 14:33 - Creative 21:30 - Normalizing 27:05 - Harmonizing 35:09 - ISTP Finishing Notes

I have a painting company and identify with the creative type for sure. Get lots of satisfaction making homes looking nice and flipping homes personally.

I’m ISTP 4w5. I worked with foster kids for ten years, learned a lot of communication skills (it was SO hard and I was deeply depressed and it didnt make much money), it was also scary having to be social and all that. I studied psychology in college, I’ve always been interested with the human mind, I thought I was broken. I went back to school for nursing and am now a hospice nurse for the last 6.5 years. I have lots of autonomy, drive around town, get downtime between patients, and it’s good money and emotionally rewarding (although can sometimes be emotionally exhausting, let’s face it people can be pretty annoying lol). But I love being one-on-one with my patients. And I love dementia patients. Sometimes I meet elderly INFPs and we share such strong connections. And I meet some other really special people. I enjoy making the connections and I also like that there is an end date to it. I’m definitely Harmonizing. A lot of the creative fit me as well. And I can relate to bits of the others. I do jiu jitsu and have done psychedelics haha. Meditation is too boring though. But I do mildly and moderately dissociate (once I remember it felt like I was floating above my body) and have depersonalization tendencies, and have had countless panic attacks … but since psychedelics (I used them with intention) I haven’t had any panic attacks (yet) and I put myself in situations to test myself. I love that you said Harmonizing is unique and different , I’ve felt different all my life. Thanks for the validation. I have lots of ENFP friends, I really enjoy NT and NF types. But can also get along well with any type. I’d say the type I’ve had the biggest difficulties with in my life has been ESFJs. Some have been cool. But like 90% of them have been abusive or annoying or controlling or manipulative… etc

I felt identified with the Dominant, and a little bit with the Harmony as well. I'm an engineer, and started working in the mining industry... I don't know how I ended making a carrer in Finance, but after 7 years I just had to quit. I know I can manage people fairly well and I'm good with numbers... however I couldn't tolerate another day sitting in a desk in front of a fucking screen all day, going to the same place every day, doing the same things all days... I feel I NEED to be moving and more in contact with nature. That's why I'm now trying to shift to a more hands on job, and I don't care if I need start all over again from zero, I know I'll be fine

As a 42 old istp I can tell you welding is a good fit especially if you have adhd. I think to be really good you need to have adhd.

ISTP here. Creative sits most with me. Though some of the normalizing is me as well.

Harmonizing sounds pretty accurate for me, good analysis!

I’m an ISTP and I work in food/customer service mostly as far as work goes. I’m only 24 and through life I’ve not really stuck to one of these styles. I’m an Eagle Scout, Music Education college dropout, and now a Baker. So to me it feels like I’ve been all of these already at someplace in my life. Don’t want too massive of a comment but I’m at the point where I still don’t know exactly what I want to be doing other than helping people.

I'm an ISTP and I used to be an Architectural Draftsman for six years. Its too abstract and unstable, especially since COVID. I tried several other jobs and found myself to get bored easily. The people side of things make it hard. I tend to be "too blunt, too logical and too much of a loner" for most employers. Not to mention people in my country tend to be oversensitive and consider me offensive when I never mean to be offensive.

Istp here/ I am 71 yrs old I went into auto mechanics, welding, electronics, computer, law enforcement, and finished up in long line truck driving. I build computers now as a hobby. In law enforcement I was a field training officer.

I am definitely a mixture of creative and normalising

I’m a Dominant but I see myself in all the subtypes.

As an ISTP, I resonate with the dominant subtype the most. 2nd most was creative. The other two are weird. Lol

Listening to this i realized that u could be more than one subtyped . Let give an example of me I'm more of mix between the dominant and the hermonaising . And have a shadow of a creative istp .

I'm not a harmonizing type.. but a lot of istp are harmonizers believe it or not. we're a lot kinder than people think.. we have inferior fe after all.. so it's more common than people think.

iSTP here I'm either normalize or harmony

I do usually have a side Hussle I'm going to get license tattoo soon but done Uber ohh I'm a programmer or Jamaica 😂

I think Czech president Petr Pavel could be a dominant subtype of an ISTP.

Me an ISTP wanting to be an Accountant 👁👄👁

Pro tip , istp will never watch a video longer than 5 mins

I have made it a point to segregate my personal life and career into separate boxes. In my career, I have worked 40-80hrs a week for more than 20years as a software engineer or systems engineer with a niche focus. I would consider this nornalizing. However, I often find my self in a leadership role amongst my peers in both personal and career which is dominant. I don't ask for it, and dont really want it. Instead, I try to be mentor and leave leadership to others. I suspect it is the confidence that attracts others. In my personal life, I am more of a creative sub-type... I often wish I could be a creative more. It brings inner peace for me. My career funds my crafter side in my personal life. As a result, I always tell my self the financial gains I make with my specialized career is a means to an end. It will afford me the ability in the present to acquire the tools, equipment, and a secluded dream property that I can "retire" to and pursue work at my leisure in the trades and crafts that bring me the most peace. I would likely continue to mentor by teaching others what I have learned. I choose to specialize for maximum return in the present for the ability to achieve things that really matter to me in the future.

I love watching these, but i cant wait for the INTP episode 🥲 Of course... i mightve just missed the episode...
