The darkside of the ISTP 

Rip istp Kobe Bryant. I love sports and football. But these guys are silence, calm and dangerous predators, they are always in top 1, Jordan, Magnuss carlssen, gsp, nurgamenov, Jon jones, Lionel Messi. They want to be the number one on the field, they want be the star who score and shine when things turn hard. But that’s a weaknesses in team sports. In long term they always try to control the game. i always play/train against one and I as a strategist, I can’t allow, i can’t allow let them play easy. tactics, leadership and hunter mentality beat them always, if you beat them over and over, then the game is yours, it’s about guiding others to stop him, so istps, start to frustrate, miss, anger explode, complain others, his true personality shine. later when I win they start to see me and copy me, they try to figúrate the puzzle xdd for me is a triple victory. Peace.

The dark side of ISTP: Being an ISTP

ISTP’s are like cats, if you let them come to you then they can be your best friend, but if you go to them then they could become distant and cold

As an istp female I’ve never been in a relationship and don’t really have a desire to be in one. But it’s annoying when ppl question my sexuality because of it

You mentioned raging when an ISTP feels trapped. That does happen. However, there is also another side as well: depression. I know when I feel trapped, but cannot justify anger and/or lashing out, it turns inwards and becomes depression. I've gotten better at managing it over the years, but it remains a nagging issue from time to time.

As an ISTP, I've had many people say that they wouldn't come to me for emotional support, but they would come to me in a crisis, or if they needed brutal honesty! I've also had the "I thought you was a bitch when I first met you" and now they're my closest friends. There are some major downfalls of being an ISTP, I have to remind myself to maintain friendships because sometimes it can get to the point where if they didn't contact me I'd probably never see them again. Also, as a mum I have to take a step back occasionally and remind myself to try and empathise with certain emotions, for example if my daughter falls out with her friends my instinct is to say "well you'll probably be friends again tomorrow so it doesn't matter" instead of being sympathetic.

Big Brain. I just get pissed when people decide things for me without consulting me, like throwing out my favourite clothes because they don't look "nice". Whatever TF that means.

"The more alone time you give them, the more they will want to spen time with you" What it should be: "the more alone time you give them, the less bothersome it feels spending time with you"

As an ISTP, I can say that the ancient philosophy of Stoicism really appeals to me.

There’s no one I’d want by my side more in an emergency. But I also wouldn’t want to cross one. 😬

This is a strikingly accurate deconstruction of ISTP type. Yes, yes we do rage very well. Partly due to how well we can "hide" feelings while going to work internally then BLAM! I speak for myself though. It's not something to be proud of but yeah, it's accurate. Never treat an ISTP (or any type) like crap. For this type, Its just an invitation to battle in the very arena which they most likely already have the blueprints for.

“Preferred mode of operating is emotionless” yesssssss this.

Not sure if it applies to many/all ISTP, but I've observed is that they logically deconstruct humans into separate details and shove the pieces into the one single concept/ framework of their mastery field through which they relate to others. Which is in a very special way kind of cute and bizarre! For example, my brilliant, dear ISTP did not aknowledge my existence as a functioning sentient human being until I got my own car, for his field of mastery was auto repairs. Since then I've learnt his language to speak on, which includes things like: • "You've parked so close to that pole, are you sure you didn't scratch the door?" = "Is everything alright? I worry about you." • "Is it time to change your oil and filter already?" = "How is it going, what are you up to?" • "Do you want to refresh your car paint?" = "I want to treat you" • "I've changed your tires and renewed WoF" = "I love you/ I make this birthday gift to you" • "To which petrol station do you go to?" = "Please talk with me for some time, I want to hear your voice" As I said, so cute and so bizarre!

I’m a female istp and people think I’m trans for some reason

You say dark, I say me at the top of my game. 😎

It explains a lot, I thought my lack of empathy and sympathy as well as emotionless as the sign of psychopathy but turns out I'm just an ISTP although some of ISTP's characteristics doesn't suit me.

There's a higher chance to become a dark ISTP if you are female and you've spent years in such environments where your Se was suppressed. :^ )

If you look up the figurative meaning of the word "demons" in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure you'll see a picture of my dad there. He is one dark ISTP who could fix anything -- except his own life. A talented machinist in his youth, he always had little flecks of metal imbedded his skin from the machining & deburring process, which made his hands sparkle when the light caught them. As a little kid I was amused by the idea that maybe his hands had magic in them, and in retrospect, this is very fitting for the ISTP who does indeed seem to have magic hands. He once fixed a slipping belt on my mom's Firebird by improving with a lighter and a box of birthday candles he found in a kitchen drawer, as I held the flashlight in the middle of the night. I've never seen MacGyver but I wonder if he was an ISTP. BTW Never underestimate the power of inferior Fe to motivate those cold logical people to try to "help" you in the best way they know how. Even when you feel their "help" is not helpful, or is outweighed by problems. That's how they'll rationalize it. They did it all for you. Sure, maybe they had to break down your door and get arrested to do it, but it was all for you! Lol. For the ISTP, "I love you" may come in the form of fixing your car, teaching you how to box, or pushing you to get out of the house and go an adventure. Without going into too much detail, my dad could never stay out of trouble. Between booze, drugs, girls, impulsively pursuing every vice with a "fuck you" attitude towards the government and anyone who stood in his way, coupled with that infamous "extroverted Sensing rage," Ti arrogance, and clumsy Fe that inevitably caused him to offend people and get punched when he was drunk, he was always in and out of jail for one reason or another. Suffice it to say I've been in half a dozen different prisons, but never as an inmate. My dad would always say "If you lock human beings in a cage and treat them like animals, pretty soon they start to act like animals." But I think ISTPs sometimes fail to realize just how strong the natural "animal" latent within them is, compared to other people, and how strong its desire for freedom is. My dad would also say things like, "I could tell you not to use drugs because they don't feel good, but I won't, because that would be a lie, and all a man has in this world is his word." In spite of all his mistakes, you gotta admire that respect for the notion of upholding truth at all costs that only dominant Ti vows to uphold so purely. P.S. Interesting note about Ne PoLR is it can create the illusion of strong Si (well, I guess there's a reason why 6th slot is "demonstrative" in socionics). Because ISTPs are so blind to new possibilities and questioning alternative paths, they will often repeat certain behaviors and phrases over and over again. This can make the ISTP seem like they might be ISTJ if you think about Si. But if you stop and think about temperaments and motivation for behavior, the differences become glaring. The ISTJ comes from a place of maintaining safety, homeostasis, and status quo, while the ISTP wants to throw all that out the window and enjoy the moment. James Bond may represent the quintessential ISTP archetype in the movies, but to do Ti justice, the truth is that the real world is generally less hospitable to the ISTP. Most have neither a license to kill nor the government on their side, and so when they go dark and indulge in the unorthodox, they may find themselves in a world of trouble, if they're not careful.

All my ISTP’s out there come to the dark side Its not so bad.

ISTP male here. I sometimes wonder if I'm broken at times emotionally. I can go from caring too much to literally shutting down and just having a blank callous stare. Sometimes wondering if in mildly psychopathic but then i do have empathy... but not sympathy. I try to fix my animals if they get hurt and i do care. Its just strange. If you catch me in those moods you are going to get extremely cold and probably hurtful responses... but other times i'm engaged and normal. its just weird.

my dad is an istp and me, as an infp have difficulty interacting with him. so whenever i see something about istps i look into it to help me understand my dad better. this helped a lot with knowing that even though my dad seems super shallow and emotionless, he does actually care.

Fun fact: Half of the people who clicked on this video scrolled through the comments while listening to him talk.

I cannot believe that you said the I STP prefers an actual roller coaster to an emotional roller coaster. I have seriously said the same thing. If I wanna thrill I will go do some thing I’m not gonna go pick a fight with some weirdo. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m an unhealthy INFJ married to a healthy ISTP...oh boy. It’s been a rough marriage, but since discovering he’s an ISTP, and researching the type, I feel closer to him. He’s my calm in the storm. I truly appreciate all he is. But yes, I’ve seen the “dark side” through the years. Thanks for this video!

I don't like being feel trapped like for example people having expectations of me. So I then create a plan to get rid of that and regain my freedom. I either make them dislike me or continuously fail their expectations but I do it in the most innocent way. I remember making my kind teacher shout at me and angry for the first time by being loud despite telling us to be quiet. I did shut up but I was grinning with satisfaction internally.😂 I'm very afraid of my dark side because I think like when I really lose my rationality,care,and self-control, I could end a life. It scares me.

My ISTP friend looked so calm and detached doing her tasks (trying to be an arquitect)... UNTIL SB GET IN HER WAY. It could be a dissaproving comment of a teacher that didn't value her work or the woman that treated her badly when she was buying her pencils. Of course she would only explote in front of very very few people that had gained her trust. "Ti" are the worst when they let that "Fe" run free because they were pretending they didn't care for so long that when it finally comes out their feelings are a mortal tsunami (with horrible consequences for them too)

"Time is being taken away from them pursuing things that they want to" ...... DAMN! That hit the nail on the head... that is literally how I feel!

That last part is so true. I wish people understood that more. I like to do stuff with people, but when you ambush me and force me to spend time with you, I will run away.

As an ISTP, it had already occurred to me that Fe inferior was the only thing keeping me from becoming antisocial. But I'd also imagined without Fe inferior, becoming something more like Spock.

All feeling types: Wow they sound so scary and weird! Me, an INTP: I am salivating.

As an istp, I don't want people to see me rage because it's extremely terrifying. I act and feel like a monster when I'm angry.

As always it trips me out how much you know about the inside of my mind. But another great video I've enjoyed. Please post more about us ISTP's when available

OMG another ISTP video!! Ok I'm gonna ramble for a minute here... Honestly, I relate to "The more alone time you give them, the more time they'll want to spend time with you" *so hard.* I've never been in a romantic relationship but this does apply to family and friends as well. I hate being constantly checked in on, which is coincidentally a thing my mother especially *loves* to do. She means well, I know, but she would always decide to have a chat or sort of get an update on my life out of me, seemingly always at the *worst* times. I'd be in my room minding my own business, and a closed door didn't mean anything to her. She'd walk in and start asking me questions whenever she deemed it necessary. And wouldn't you know it, I eventually started discreetly trying to avoid her, in an effort to avoid these conversations (that I always thought of as unnecessary, and honestly still do). I'd leave a room right as I heard her walking toward it, I'd spend hours in the basement (where she didn't go very often), and whenever she went out, leaving me with just my sisters, and would tell me she'd be late getting back, I would tell her she need not rush home. It's not that I hated her. I've never hated her. And I didn't just stop talking to her altogether. She and I are just very different people, and I grew tired of her constantly checking in on me, as I do/would with anyone. Now some of it might be a result of the fact that I was (and still am technically) a fledgling adult who was getting ready to go away to college and my mom was suddenly seeing me as a little girl again, but this also applies to friends of mine. For instance: (I'll try to make this example shorter.) I have this guy friend, a total extrovert, who likes to FaceTime me often. I answer about half the time, but it's mostly because I don't want him to hate me. Other times I let it go to voicemail. He's a great person, but it's just that whenever he calls, we just talk about nothing (like whether or not Jedi Master Yoda had a wife), and our conversations keep my mind from focusing on more practical things. Sometimes he runs out of things he wants to talk about and then we just sit there in silence, me waiting and thinking "Was there a specific purpose to you calling me?" Our calls usually end with me breaking the silence by saying "Hey, I'm gonna let you go. I gotta finish this thing I'm working on." and he goes "Ok, bye" and then I hang up. Sometimes he'll call me like 3 days in a row and I'll be like "Ok my guy I'm gonna need you to let me BE for a bit" And so I definitely value the time spent with someone more if it doesn’t happen too often. So anyway, yeah. That was my ramble. All to say that yea this is pretty accurate

I remember when I was real young realizing that my brother, and others to a lesser extent, seemed to be vulnerable to emotion. Especially when under stress. I think I was about eight when I decided that if they couldn't perform under stress, do what needed to be done (whether that be simply chores or defending themselves) I would in their stead. So far, it ain't been a bad life. My people make me happy, and I keep them in tact. The internet distracts me well enough, gives me enough to read and learn. Work is cathartic, and maintains my mind and body. I don't need much else.

Recently I just found out that I am an ISTP (I made the test 4 times) and I just come to this videos to see what people like me say about being an ISTP. Is like doing inner search from within the outer world, if that makes sense. - I love my personal space and loneliness, When people interrumpt me or break my focus I get pissed off and I don't do anything anymore cz I lost it. -I like to discover people by playing chess with them - Everybody said I should be an architect / engineer but because someone else suggested it to me I refuse to accept it, so I studied design and dropped out, now I'm into animation and music - My best friend gets pissed off because I send her messages everytime a new topic comes to mind, like today I asked her about her career and tomorrow I tell her that humanity is a deception. And when I reach more than 10 messages she starts a fight LOL - I only have less than 5 friends - I have never picked a fight in my life, I hate conflict, I don't drink or smoke or use drugs because it is super stupid to do so. - I am a total mistery to people, noone knows my true intentions although they are mostly good unless it's a prank - I don't get mad easily but when I do I shred to pieces other people's arguments and embarass them, that feels so liberating - When someone posts on social media all I can think about is how stupid they look with all those weird filters - I love sarcasm and irony Edit: everyone should listen to classical music, it makes you smarter And last but not least, congrats and thanks if you read up to this point

My son took this test at work and is an ISTP. He's an ultra marathon runner and has taken himself to places in the Rocky Mountains where no other human has been. This explanation on this video is a very accurate. We have a good relationship because we give him space and unconditional love. The teenage years were rough.

I remembered I requested this video. Thank you for uploading this.

Highfunctioning neurodivergent(covert dark) female ISTP here, and I have to say, your videos are INSANELY ACCURATE. Wow. I am like, feeling so amazed at how well you got this. Points to add: ISTPs care the least about words of affirmation. People I'm dating who start getting clingy, terrify me. I need my space. and I know them talking to me, are just wanting those words of affirmation from me. They start talking too much. I would rather acts of service or a practical gift. Not all this mushy texting back and forth for hours which is a waste of my time that I could be doing something such as assembling ikea furniture or something useful. LOL.

This is the best video about the I STP I have ever seen. Most types get us wrong and it’s very frustrating to hear about the I STP as filtered through somebody else’s value system and cognitive processes.

"ISTP-s can do rage... very well." You can say that again :D In my 38 years, so far I managed to rage only a couple of times. But those were quite memorable :D There's no "no"-s or "but"-s accepted in that situation. When I'm pushed that far out of my boundaries that I feel there's no way out but rage to get back things in order... I'll make sure it works at least, usually by any cost, unfortunately. If it has to burn, I'll make it burn. Better not push an ISTP to rage mode.

♀️ISTP. We all have that dark side. Most of us don't let anyone see it. Usually those who do, get terrorised to silence. That dark side is usually slow release, silent and not obvious to others until it is WAY too late. Usually when I'm angry people don't notice until I am at my point of rampaging someone's stupid rear into a pancake. Ironically the people who usially make me most angry are the ones I love most. This is usually the start of an internal conflict of me then trying to calculate if I need that person any more in my life or not, which then leads on to how I plan on punishing them for the rest of my life for pissing me off to that extreme. Having said that, I use that same rage to protect those I love, and the few who have earned my absolute trust I would give my life for theirs to protect them if any extreme situation was to threaten their life. That dark side can be manipulated for good or evil. DON'T PREVOKE THAT DARK SIDE TO WORK AGAINST YOU! Seriously.... people get hurt... stupid people get hurt... Usually physically by ISPT dark side. We have a bad habit of showcasing and proving just how violent we can be when we feel like we need to remind others of that.

Wow. I just dropped my husband off at a treatment center today. This explains SO MUCH! And if this gives you ANY insight as to why he went dark and what played a significant roll in it ...Im an INTJ and female. Which tge mere existence of, TOTALLY destroys his ISTP self confidence and causes him to feel inadequate as a man. Discovering our opposing personality types is probably the best thing that has ever happened for us. At least now we are equipped....its what we do with the knowledge now to make adjustments.

ISTPs are often confused with being sociopathic. This video really shows why.

The core of the character James bond=ISTP The core of the character Sherlock Holmes=ESTP

I love being an female ISTP we are so rare ......... although the downside is I am not great with attachment and commitment oof ........... that would suck in a relationship ............. but oh well

after a long time, this has bringed a smile to my face, an actual smile and yes, we can do rage really well. for the sake of freedom, theres nothing can stop me

Me an ENTJ watching vids about ISTPs cuz i need a proof of why he/she are natural partners for ENTJs and yet the only reason I could think of is because they're not too emotional.

Im sure you have lots of stuff you are working on right now but if you need video ideas i think it would be cool to talk about how the types get along with or deal with other types. Like how they see eachother and interact. Like type x gets along with type y because.... but not with type z because... Or however you want to set it up. Just an idea.

Is it just me, or is ISTP the best personality type? I mean, my favorite to be around is INTP and INTJ, but being ISTP sounds awesome. -INFP

sometimes i sense the fear and hesitation in people's eyes and voice when they approach me....especially at work. Some of these traits really show itself at the workplace for me.

ENFJ here who recently broke up with an ISTP - you're videos are helping me understand what was going on in his head 😅

Very important, there is always naturally a feature to balance what would otherwise be out of control. Ti is objective, and Ni is visualizating a personal path forward (selfish, basically). And, Se is about giving and sharing/creating experiences with others, with Fe sharing others' values and wanting to make others feel good. These functions are designed to absorb from our external reality that which will balance us. We absorb other ppl's emotions and physical movements as raw data, and know what they value/believe and also what they desire to experience. So, it's the perfect balance of external influence and consideration for others, when not ignored or stifled.

(INFP) I relate to the, "The more time alone I'm given, the more I want to spend time with them". People that get all excited about me is flattering but nothing turns me off more than someone who doesn't understand the concept of space. Then again, nothing turns me on more than someone who does... I should work on being less extreme.

So insightful, thank you! I've never felt more understood. -- Emma

My mom is an ISTP. She was often a ruthless, controlling, self centred mother. She did little to conceal the opinion that my brother and I were the reason she could not achieve her goals to her satisfaction. Fun times.

as a young istp bc im only like 19, I struggle with understanding emotions the way other people do, like I can understand how you feel or anyone feels but I will process it in a very logical manner. Moreover it strains the relationship I have with my mother bc she's like you don't understand feelings and shit and she tells me to stuff bc it's the 'rule' and im like just bc everyone follows it doesn't mean that I have to either. It can lead to very frustrating moments and my patience runs even lower when I don't like someone so I can get very angry sometimes if I was actively involved and if I cared. I am not sure why I'm typing all of this but what ticks me off is me being forced to do something simply because society thinks that it should be that way.

I am an ENFP with an ISTP male. These are very informative to me and I appreciate the work you put into them. I've gotten to see the dark side of mine but the enfp in me shut his ass down and taught both him and myself boundaries xD I make sure he has time to be him and in return he's like a big black german sheperd who waits for me to guide him at the same time. I do believe that ISTPs have this patience I've never known though lol Mine is a police officer and does his best to be level headed. It would be nice for you to do one on ISTP parenting.

Useful and insightful from an older ISTP. As for roles and their introverted thinking that‘triggered’ my younger self.

As an ISTP, I consider a lot of these parts of my strengths. You need someone to come in and help clean something up, call an ISTP. I've called myself a gunslinger for years.

So for YEARS I’ve thought that I was an INTP. I’ve been back and forth on it for ages. Thanks to your videos comparing the two I learned, finally, that I’m an ISTP. It’s a bit of a “back to the drawing board” feeling, but that’s kind of exciting as well. Thank you!

Lack of empathy isn't a sign of ISTP it's a sign for change.

Yes their dark side is hiding/ignoring their Fe. That way, they can be detached about things.

5:40 - Restrictive relationships are difficult :( Especially if they stalk you and find your comments under random videos all the time, then blame you for them :D

5:16 "ISTPs can do rage... very well." Yes, that. Finally it's phrased the way ISTPs would phrase that as well. Not something like "their emotional discomfort might build up until it blasts out in a remarkable fashion" or things like that

I'm an istp and I was really tired to watch the whole video but thank you for making it😁🙏

Good morning everyone!!

I'm an INTP who considers himself quite emotional, yet I completely understand what you mean when saying we often take a completely logical approach to stuff like music or art. I've always judged stuff based off of a loosely defined, yet amazingly concrete sense of logic. It's like a telescope is flashing around in my inner Ti-Si monologue, pointing out tiny, yet somehow major things I precieve as wrong.

This one time when I was visiting Estonia with my ISFJ partner a random guy came up to us to ask for money. He was clearly under the influence of drugs so I was immediately on my guard. I wanted to leave but my partner started talking to him. When eventually my partner explained that he didn't have any cash on him I saw this guy's expression harden and he put his hand in his pocket. My first thought was that he was about to stab my partner and my immediate instinctual thought process went like this: "This is why I should carry a knife" -> "Well no matter what happens I'll take him down before he can do anything" -> "I can't believe I'm about to end up in an Estonian prison" -> "I'm pretty sure Estonian prisons aren't as comfy as Finnish prisons" -> "Prison life would suck ass" -> "Maybe I should just drag my partner out of here immediately" Luckily I finally managed to haul my oblivious partner's ass out of the situation and nothing ended up happening. After begging him to get himself some self preservation instincts I finally realized what I had been thinking. Let's be clear, I'm a 162cm tall woman, I don't have any self defense skills and I have never used a weapon of any kind. I'm a very easygoing and calm person. I drink tea and wear fluffy cardigans. And yet in that moment in my mind I turned into this vicious, cold version of myself who had no doubt of my destructive capabilities and who was prepared to do anything to eliminate the threat to my partner. It took me a while to even think about running even though that would've been the most logical choice. And even though I was afraid I wasn't really fully aware of it, I was mostly just preparing to act. Honestly in the aftermath I was a bit scared of that side of me because I had no idea it even existed. So, yeah. The dark side of an ISTP can definitely be pretty intense.

I never understood why people tend to value emotions so high. They mess everything up, wreck your head and destroy you. Life is hard as it is.

Please tell more about ISTP rage... Advice? I'm resisting the darkness but I feel encroached on lately. Love your videos, keep it up 💜

Emotionless can actually help you think and decide logically. As psychologist Paul Bloom says something like empathy is a weakness and may influence to make bad decisions.

And yet again, a very good indepth analysis on the personalities. Cant wait for the ENFP version of this.

Istp here, I don't rage with feelings but with logic. If I feel bad, and for me to feel anything it has to be real bad (or good), I cry and retreat

i truly feel the "the more alone time you give them, the more they want to spend time with you." I'm an INFP and my bf is ISTP 😄

When you go into talking about James Bond its interesting especially when you think about Casino Royale and his love interest with Vesper who was INFJ and how she was the one who bought out emotion from him.

\~/ As a istp we view the general public as nothing more than "vertical cadavers" most people simply can't keep up !

man i love this

I must admit, it’s a bit concerning to see someone sit down with a cup of coffee and describe me exactly.

*me slowly nodding in agreement* ....wait that ain't right...sadly it's true once I'm in skill or tool mode it can cause me to forget to be "emotional" and just focus on achieving, my competitive "passion" can also blind me which can hurt me or others but it makes me one hell of a leader, the attachment thing was creepy how right it is..

i know an istp who definately fits this bill. he works a dead end job so he can take care of his kids. hes completely devpted to caring for them kids even though their momma deserted. we talk a lot and when i see him at work i think of the poem "Panther" by Rilke.

Its 2pm Good morning 😂 totally this ISTP along with pretty much all the other things too.

I have to study for my regents tdy but here i am

Yessss I feel trapped exactly like you've said

Love it! Great video!! Seems like a lot of an ISTP's darkness stems from disrespecting/abandoning Fe. But it seems like INTPs are less susceptible to that. Do you agree with that? Any idea as to why that is?

"the more alone time you give them the more time they want to spend with you" is accurate

I'm an ISTP and I like to think that the world is better with me in it (not in a moral way but more of a pragmatist's definition of "better"). But people may not be enjoying my existence as a person, and that's fine by me.

I've been told I could be a mistyped isfp (I am an infj, in theory) and I've been gathering information about istp lately and what I can say is... I wish. Definitely my favorite type

I have really learned a lot more about my self after discovering that this is my type

In my trade school I punched my book bag because the teacher wasn’t assessing my problems with inventor (computer program) and I think that is the most istp moment in my life

I think you should do a video on all the dark indulgences on all types. More indepth than you already have done. Though honestly I don't know much about this science so you might have already. Definitely start with the INTJ because we are awesome (shameless plug of my type) I have one story of an indulgence that got way too far but won't share unless enough people want me too. That will be interesting to watch

I'm istp and I mostly try not to hold myself to any beliefs too much

oh my god the rage. i ran thru the woods with a machete and destroyed a couple small trees the other day just cause i needed to!

Instead of an emotional roller coaster they prefer an actual roller coaster. 😂👏👏 well said.

"Instead of an emotional rollercoaster, they prefer an actual rollercoaster." Funny cuz I've never been on a rollercoaster

I get mad at my parents for pressuring my studies, they're asian, can't be helped. But sometimes we would argue, and they would use the "Im your parent" argument. I don't mind being lectured but atleast make it logical, we have standards too. I get really mad sometimes that I would just cry because I don't want to hurt anyone. Maybe I would've punfhed them if we weren't blood-related.

As a ISTP I can say that we don’t show emotions for a reason we know that we could hurt people if we do try to show our emotions because of the fact that we don’t really show them then we can’t really control them so then we just don’t show them to begin with like he was saying about emotionless when one of my family members died I sat there and didn’t do anything I was emotionless I didn’t feel sad angry happy nothing just nothing and people may come off and say we’re crazy but really we just like to be emotionless.

I hate this cuz my ex was SUCH an istp 🙄 you're literally describing him perfectly

It’s like a version of me that actually has a sense of the physical world.... must be nice....

I am an ISTP. Freedom and commitment explanations in this video are so on point, I feel attacked. Lol!

I'm an ISTP. Somebody asked me why I want to be a fighter pilot. I told them: "To make sure those bad guys are turned to ashes before you are."
