What are the weaknesses of an ISTP? | ISTP Cognitive Functions | CS Joseph Responds 

He does that for you, that's one of the actions he performs to "show" you that he cares. The words don't mean the same thing to him but the action of speaking it does.

@@bimic92 it is pretty ridiculous but for someone who doesn't connect that well emotionally at least they're making an effort. IDk, might just be a sociopath.

I have the same problem of saying those words. However there has only been one person in my entire existence I say that to that many times a day freely and loving every moment of it. I wonder why myself. Truth is there have been better girls than this girl I verbally express myself to but I still have a difficult time saying the words if it’s not her. That’s how I lost a good INFJ lady just because of those 3 words. I said to her in an argument “those words don’t mean anything, do I act like I don’t care about you? Any sociopath can say those words but no one will act the way I do towards you.” I thought I had given a noble speech didn’t know those will be one of my last words to her. When she didn’t respond positively and was withdrawing I later said out of anger “if you are waiting for me to say ‘I love you’ you won’t hear it. Go to the street there’ll be many guys who will tell you that to get under you. Not me, i show how I feel by the way I act”. I apologized later maybe 2 months later after realizing my mistake. Wanted us to get back together but Still didn’t say the words so she refused. We had been together only 3 weeks prior the split. So it Didn’t feel right. I now understand she felt like she had poured herself into me and I can’t tell her simple 3 words. But to me saying the words meant a higher level commitment. One which I wasn’t sure if I was ready for. Again it had only been 3 weeks. So don’t judge me.

My husband say it many times per day for 30 years.

Danny Staton yeh 😄😂

@@dasein9980 Not it isn't,I see that all the time.

@@dasein9980 how?

You're absolutely right. There's much hypocrisy in it. At least to my own social compass.

There's a lack of commitment behind those words, that's what happens nowadays, with Ne trickster there's a need to state every intention beforehand, so ISTP know what is that the other person's interests are, a simple "I love you" is simply not enough for an ISTP, something like "Let's live together" would be far more useful I guess haha

Exactly. How about all the fake motion picture perfect dudes on TV. Can't stand it cause it doesn't mean a dam thing. Just words that's all.

true that's why i think his first and third point can fall into the same category .We are unaware of that actions and intentions are 2 different things , so fake "good" actions from other people can be judged as good even tho the intuition is bad .Aka why ended up being tricked throu out my life in many relationships as an istp who judge people by their actions (thinking that "judging people from there actions is smart and enough to know if someone is nice or not ) i get spectical easly from ENFP's because of they high energy and niceness and all but i fail with other Ixxx types that requires more power to focus on seperating intention and actions.

okay sir thank you for giving your view ... God bless you and your family ..... can I ask more specifically ..? in general it is true that ISTPs can be very skilled at mastering any skilled trade ... but in this case .. in your opinion .. which of these 2 jobs is the most permanent for ISTP if one is required to choose one of them .... ??? electrician or mechanic ...? give me the answer and the logical reason sir ... thank you again ... god takes care of you and your family ......

@@antondeannova7016 I would prefer mechanic, because it has a master-level; but electrician doesn't have much of a mastery; it s just a job; Hardware engineering is also very interesting; since you constantly deal with physical concepts and rules, have a tangible output and can lead to a high paying job; mechanics can also earn $$$ lots of money; if they reached mastery; mostly personal preferences, but a bright future also is an important factor; thats why i am a software engineer right now; I don't like it that much; but kinda a trade-off; I'll be switching to hacking sooner a later since the skills are transferable; and if you are an istp; you can be a senior engineer in half time of a normal person;

Deasy B than ur not an ISTP

The test requires complete honesty or it will miss type you. Might have to take some alone time before retaking it so your not influenced by anyone else. Just a theory

lmao

The REALLY worst nightmare would be a open plan office.

My husband is a nurse ISTP. IMAGINE . He hates it. And what he wants to do doesn't have medical insurance which he needs due to a condition. I wish he could go do something else.

@@CRlifeisgood what does he wish he could do? I agree, I could never be a nurse. As an ISTP Female with ADHD...... yeah, no.

OH YES. HAD 2 EXPERIENCES LATER IN LIFE. I AM A FEMALE ISTP AND WORKED WITH ALL FEMALES. SCARY ACTING PEOPLE AND I HAVE NO FEAR. BUT I HAD TO GET THE FLOCK OUT OF THERE BEGORE MY MOUTH LOST CONTROL.

Right?!

you must info dump on him

INTJ wife to an ISTP husband here. Sounds like y'all's relationship mirrors ours. My husband is SO smart, very Introverted and my hero.

What do you mean? I mean, by "ignore everything they say?"

@big heart the only problem is that ISTP hears word salad when INFP talks. I have a friend who is INFP and that's not true but she's worked in tech and is a therapist now. Your basic INFP, to an ISTP, seems cute but batshit. Not a lot of real communication - which can be fine with an ISTP, until it's not.

@big heart I don't really care what ENFJs think about INFPs. Not at all helpful. NFs sound like they're spouting word salad except to other NFs. And that's fine. But the ISTP isn't obligated to play in NF land, either. Communication doesn't require empathy. It requires clarity.

@big heart am I being paid? Because when I'm being paid, I'll put in the effort to meet people where they are. If I'm not being paid, they can put in some effort. It's not up to me to empathize and communicate with people. It's a two-way street. If someone is spouting word salad, that means they aren't putting in the effort to meet me halfway. I'm not here to put in all the effort. BTDT and it doesn't end well. Other people have responsibilities, too, and it's not up to me to do all the communicating. They have the right to remain silent, too.

@bigger heart. Here's the thing I think. As an ISTP I don't talk to anyone for the jot of talking, it is either to get something or give something and the last thing I'm interested in are their feelings, because those just always get in the way. There is a single question though that can normally get to the root of any communication problem when dealing with ISTPs, "Is that what they said or is that what you heard?"

This RIGHT HERE.

Yeah I have a friend who is going through this right now. He’s realizing he’s a good teacher and likes it but for years he has said that he doesn’t want that kind of responsibility

hahaha! ISTP here!

Other people recognize the teaching trait in you. You have probably been teaching for a while but only on occasion when you're interested. You likely more qualified than you think. If a student asked you something that you don't know, I'm betting you'll research it almost immediately.

Only NTJ's huh. That's hilarious 😆

ISTP female. I learned to give them brief empathy and a pat or something and then. AVOUD, AVOID, AVOID.

This saying hits home with me as well. I was fortunate enough to learn early

Yup you need to let people fail before you offer to help otherwise they don't learn.

lol poor mom, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her haha

In socionics entps supervise istps - istp is the 'supervisee' essentially. Basicac reason is that both are high Ti users, but ENTPs have Ne hero, istps Ne trickster so istps are using Ti without benefits of Ne, ENTPs can use Ti with all the Ne, so they can essentially supervise the Ti of ISTPs and see where they are going wrong with the Ne blindspot. this could be a good thing - istps learns, entp feels valued and also feels this pull towards helping guide the istp. And entp finds istp interesting because of their (to them) 'different' use of Ti so i guess can learn from them too. Socionics says its an unequal relationship tho with entps at an unfair advantage due to having istps trickster as their hero - so arguablyy they can manipulate them. Not sure how true this is - would be interested in Chase's opinion on supervisor relationships

ISTP here, thought that way before until, 1Coronthians 10:12 SO LET THE ONE WHO THINKS HE IS STANDING BEWARE THAT HE DOES NOT FALL.

He doesn’t upload lectures on his RU-vid channel anymore only on his website.

😂😂

you guys are good at confrontation, just don't let people guilt you.

istps like physical work.

I mean i'm not 100% sure it is done the same way on this browser, but I think it should be

Derp, thanks bro!

That was him saying he missed you and wanted your attention. . Imho. 😊

Could be cognitive focus or transition

Experience and/or Consult an Ne user. No one is meant to be able to do everything alone in life. Also watch how to social engineer ISTPs so you can be prepared for that too.

read every book by Rollo Tomassi and get back with me

@@CSJoseph sounds like a second upgrade, ( the first upgrade was also your epic suggestion on "no more mr nice guy" ) I'm on it ... 🙏

Why not ? I think they can and be really very good :p And i wanna be but if u wanna be for real u need to stop yourself for waste your time with things that arent important i guess like dont play video games or whatever u can think its useless From an INFJ :p

Of course!

@@sharpiesarecool814 what do you wanna to be? And why :p Pls answer im curious about others Pls can you tell me what is your job that can make u happy?

@@eneopopa3145 Well, I'm into biology, fine art, and psychology, but currently, I am a psychology major at my college. I would like to be some sort of creative person, whether that be an artist, songwriter, writer, filmmaker, but I'm also interested in people and helping them. I think some sort of combination between helping others and being creative would be a job that makes me happy :) thanks for asking! what about you as an INFJ?

@@sharpiesarecool814 Me as an INFJ wanna be the most teacher pyschology nurse and nutrion I love so much if i could help people as much as possible The most important i think i could be creative how to stop waste time and how to be a problem solver xD I have so many jobs i wanna work ehh i hope it doesnt sound ridicioulos i wanna be profesional anywhere as much as possible Thanks for anwsering :D Hey can i ask u another question For what reason you do hate people ?

I love that song! Do you know which anime that quote came from?

Have you Looked at His gigantic List of references

Yet, I find the things relating to ISTP's very accurate, so is that a bad thing?

do you think this is wrong? the answer for istps
