Yes, great video. I generally agree with the overall arching story of Istp on my.life. I need a mountain to.climb and get lost once I have achieved a goal. The video where he and his gf where explaining his issues was extra cringe. As an ISTP, Never in a million years would do that.
Your demons will surprise you... As an INTj my demons are Fi and Se. I started doing art as therapy. I expected the work to be like me, Ni-Te, structured, logical abd masculine. What came out is the opposite, Fi-Se cutesy, feminine and adorable. I really like it but until now I didnt know this is who I was also. I feel like just doing art and seeing a consistant pattern in that art you'll see your demons and it will not be what you expected you could ever create.
You made a GREAT point. I'm a writer (or at least trying to be that) and even if i'm not entirely sure my demons are probably Ti and Ni, both get MADLY described in the things i make, mostly sci-fi and dystopian stuff. I recall talking about something like this with my therapist and we mentioned an italian singer-songwriter that used to put a lot of tenderness and emotional depth in his lyrics, but at the same time he had a quite raw and rough relationship with his wife. That's all, it's a good point
ENTJ here, and for sure the demon Se Fi art therapy is so real. I used to write a lot when I was in my teen years, but I took it so seriously to process my emotions. Still journal a bit, but honestly doodles, crafting and the like can be therapeutic to just do something fun and not take it seriously as part of my identity/ what I'm capable of.
Ni/Ti SC/P(B) here. Agreed, ISTP is very inspiring, when balanced. My dad is Ti/Se in his 40s. Last decade he hated my cats, now I can occasionally get the sight of kittens laying on his chest while he sleeps on the couch. Such a dramatic change! He's really learning to build Fe connections with people, which coupled with his Se abilities to navigate the world and not be a freak about conversational caos makes even me, an observer, envy his people-skills sometimes! He's always been very private with his problems and pains too, even physical pain is something he still hides, and I'd love to see you guys talk more about "how T-doms hide pain/fear", aka bottling emotions (I do it too, multiple instances, guess it's kind of a habit... I think this issue is even more present in types with demons Blast and/or Play). Awesome video, as always 😎👍
It's definitely not easy being an ISTP (especially as a woman) unless there is ongoing adrenaline/adventure/Se activity and/or major/life threatening crises. This is possibly the only time we feel peaceful and alive (or if totally consumed and laser focused in a project or special interest (on our own). We have to consciously switch into the 'real world' of people and emotion, if you catch us off guard (usually will happen) it will be a lot of effort to process stuff and switch into Fe mode, even after a decade of working on it (and it's easier to just save that for two or three people, one at a time!)
My ESFJ partner can hopefully take care of, and take some of the load off, so I can mostly relax and focus on my goals (and he knows how much I deeply care and that I'm there for him)
“The Mission” is so relatable to me as well- masc Ti FF INTP (lol consume story alert). Just had a cute little tidal wave over this very thing so rewatched this video to feel less lost. 😭 love u guysss xoxo
I'm an ISTP and the 'mission' thing is so true. The Navy guy would have felt life's 'little missions' whether he joined the military or not. We have this internal drive to just push past everything and get something done. The missions aren't always clear, but we always need to be on the move mentally and/or physically. Once something we're passionate about becomes 'solved' we can lose sight and start spiraling into a dark place and it's usually people-related things that draw us out. Then we just go back to being the awesome Chads we were from the beginning (but, at least we're happy again). lol
This resonates.. I am a software/systems engineer and (it seems now) an INTP. I spent ten years designing, building and working on a very large national project which was very much "My baby". When it was over and I had to hand it over to others and move on my internal crash was real. It was quite literally like having my legs taken out from under me.
i do the same as an INTP, i think. FF-Ti/Ne, i can see parallels and it took me a long time and struggle to see my demons as valuable. I still struggle with it still but it does make me feel like my life is integrated into one complete picture. The yin and the yang. I also did the Ti/Ne going into scientific research lmaoo
I've been in that dark cold pit of dispare. Few actually saw this dark time, i could hide it well.This happened in my younger years. I must have a purpose in life or I just feel lost and fall into that pit. Female ISTP
istp here, that also used to be in the military. 10:39 in reality, there are a lot of strong emotions in the military. people do express their desires, values, priorities. The community is not really cold and stern as some civilians may think. Actually is quite the opposite there are a lot more hot heads. Most of them seem to be ESTJ, ENTJ, ESTP, ISTJ, INTJ, ENTP.
After a long journey starting off thinking I was INTJ, then INFJ, finally figured the way out of all my double and triple upside-down confusions: I'm Ti/Ni. For the longest time I thought Ni was my top function because I'm sleep-first and I thought I was fine on emotions... because I absolutely locked those away to the furthest pits of my being so they never bothered me. Therefore the real issue became all these Se things popping up that I had to Ti solve... By myself... Because I'm refusing to use Fe under any circumstances... Meanwhile I'm going through this guy's same story of having completed my mission of "finish my education" and then not getting a job (because the team projects traumatized me because Fe bottom function) and then when I finally tried to get into the regular job life I'm not getting through the interviews because I'm just refusing to get into this Fe manipulation crap that you have to do and I just want them to hire me on my merits just as I am (I'm only now realizing how Di this is). So then I'm depressed, anything that comes up is too much to handle, making me think even more that Se is my weakest function. Only once my life finally got moving a bit again I very slowly began to realize that sensory chaos isn't all that difficult for me to handle at all, I can just kinda juggle everything that pops up, albeit still reluctantly because my emotional life is still a mess because deep down I'm a masculine Fe that's being rejected by the tribe on everything I attempt, unless I completely submit (which masculine Fe hates apparently), which of course would lead to a feeling that I might as well be dead because the tribe sure doesn't care if I were gone and who am I even Ti problem-solving for if it's not them and I'm just miserable. Now I can at least do it, but it's all on a bitter auto-pilot because I'm not getting any shred of motivation out of my emotions. Anyway, skipping ahead a few years, I now know which personality type I really am now and what the "problem to solve" is. Big challenge is going to be to do it without trying to cheat my way around it with the other three functions like I've been doing for over a decade. Thanks for your work in personality types and producing these videos. It took a couple of years but you really helped me solve it. The final breakthroughs were: 1. Having very little expressive emotion, and a big focus on likes and hates, means masculine F. 2. Sleep and consume as top two animals means Di must be in the top two no matter what. 3. Logic always gets priority. Emotion needs permission to join in. Therefore: The Di has to be Ti. 4. I don't behave like a masculine Fe at all... So it really is the bottom function, not tertiary. I guess I turned out to be an entertaining puzzle for myself.
We need the ESTP version! I like the format of this video because it's very informative and useful and it helps me figure out whether I'm a Ti dom or not, but I still feel like I need the ESTP version to have them side by side.
Uhh this video came so handy... IxxP, also going throughan identity crisis .. working in a Supermarket for 6 years, always having a busy schedule, changing to a teacher.. completely different jobs, and sometimes I feel like I cannot be totally myself as a teacher... But I knew it was a identity crisis . Almost 30, it is weird, being an adult INFP
Well I am self typed as an INFP and even with Fi I learnt in my work to get the job done. Working in a supermarket, there is the mission of no matter what happens clients cannot wait and need to get a good service. Which meant smiling and looking all florishing when you were sad and frustrated. I guess I just stepped into my Te.. My changing jobs, a whole mission is different. FE needs to be developed and a whole new persona is being created
It's easy when your on your own as an ISTP since I could be content in a big house or living in my car. But when you throw a wife and two kids in the mix, this massive responsibility of taking care of them becomes so prevelant that I neglect myself. My wife sometimes forces me to go out and buy clothes for myself and I still feel guilty about it sometimes, because I'd rather get something for her or my kids. Fellow ISTP's you gotta take care of your needs too, otherwise you think you are down the right thing, but become very unpleasant to be around like the guy in this video. Thank you both for covering the ISTP as much as you have because it's It's hard to find quality content on my type besides the usual "mechanic" stuff. Please keep it coming!
I'm 19, and Ive already been through the crash it lasted for 5 years and I would argue it was a build up that happened since I was born here's why: I did write a whole lot more but my first time but I accidentally deleted it lol. -Getting to know who you are is the first and most important journey you should be on and it last throughout your life - allegory the cave perfectly describes how everyone is basically living a lie. Maybe not completely some more than others. Most people are so used to being inside the cave the don't try to get out of it and will never see the light, and those who do see the light have two options, either stay in the dark cave where you are used to being in, bc it's safe or make your way to the light no matter how tuff it is. Those who do try also have two options either keep trying until you are fully out or give up. But once you get past the cave exit you will realize that the cave isn't the only thing in this world and your previous understanding was completely wrong. The best part of this journey is once your out you will no longer view the world the same and you will be able to see how other people are still stuck in the dark. You will need discipline and have the ability too accept bc the light will burn at first. It goes alot deeper than this, but for short you will need no bullshit, real world examples. I personally used the youtubers: 1.jullian himself. 2.owen cook free tour 4. And tykwondoe to name the a few And remember it starts with you taking the time for yourself. On a side note where can I get y'all typing services? I'm %100 sure about my myers briggs type but I want to know the exact type.
This is also the gist of what austen alexander is realizing but he probably hasn't put a face on it yet. And it's different for everyone, probably bcs of the types
I didn't know that the IxxPs stories were so similar. As an ISTP female, I've experienced these "crashes" very often. At some point, I thought I was an ExxJ because I was trying to manage everything, but something wasn't adding up with my other cognitive processes. Anyway, I'm looking to know what I need to do in order to grow in the areas I'm deficient in because I'm just tired. I do not want to live like a victim, blaming others, and relying on others for a mission, I know I have something to offer, but I'm curious to know what I can learn from this to be my best self not just me but for others as well.
What if you don't have so much an personal identity crisis , but an outward existential knowledge crisis? It's hard to take an hard sides on anything, yet I am restlessness in scrutinizing all postions.
I could only be with an ISTP my husband is an ISTP. Everyone has their little quirks and issues but as a whole, they are the easiest for me to get along with. I am an INFJ.
This is my exact life story. Word for word. But you typed me as Dave’s exact type. I told you when I left I was an ISTP. You told me me reaction was typical. I made a video about it all. I think you are right that im MF lead sleep and an energy dom but im a blast last ISTP with the exact same life story. You also typed a RUclipsr Penguinz0 and said THAT is what a Ti/Ni really is.. that’s what I looked like and what I was doing 25 years ago. I am a Taoist like Bruce Lee another MF Ti/Ni energy dom. I had a seizure going over my whole life realizing this explained everything. There’s a video about all of this on my channel. It’s the only video I am making. I hope you watch it and it helps you.
5:04 That story sounded a lot like Dennis Rodman (ISFP) when he left Detroit Pistons. Before he built a character of him being loud, obnoxious and extravagant, he hit hard when in 1993, he almost attempted suicide after his first real father figure, the late coach Chuck Daly, resigned after 1992 playoffs with the Detroit Pistons. The team was imploding. He really lost himself, badly. Even after he was saved by Craig Seager, built that character just to overcome his social awkwardness, climbed the mountain again with the Chicago Bulls, he lost himself again when Phil Jackson retired, and the team disintegrated.
From Apocalypse Now Willard: Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.
Istp here that's true for FE even if our life is not together, we think that will solve it. It helps but doesn't solve it. The issue is we can't produce FI and we wither without it.
@@boo2870 I mean, it's a falsifiable theory. But you can't just say "FALSE" lol. I'm not actually serious but if you want to be really ST all you have to do is tell me you know an ISTP and you ask them whether they like spicy food and they said no.
I’ve come back to the idea of being a female ISTP… after considering over and over again that I must be seeing it up side down and I desperately didn’t want to be the dummy putting myself out there claiming to be something (cool) that I’m not… I’m expecting baby boy no. 4 in a couple of weeks and my crisis after finding out, was to not be able to hold my position at my job, where I’m the one and only of my kind and doing great. I think the female ISTP story might often be to do with the identity struggle of being a mom and just feeling completely mal equipped for that and out of place, because that’s certainly not where we will climb to number one so easily. the emotional stuff being so foreign and empathy being so hard… I hate all the typical mummy stuff and having to go to toddler groups and play grounds again is a horror to me… all that Fe that meets you there. 🤯😱😵💫 I just can’t do it… and it’s always where I think I build up my mountain of tribe hate… just not getting involved, drawing back, … but I will try and get better at it this time round.
ISTP best type. ISTP here (FM-TiSe-CS/B(P). Maybe but it seems to me that the M-Fe ISTPs have a major problem of dealing with the M-Fe that may get in the way of Fe development where F-Fe may have easier time. So, maybe ISTP with F-Fe best type.
My guess would be that M-Fe would be harder to move but also harder to ignore. The pattern they're talking about here with the FF ISTPs suddenly realizing they have no mission and no idea what they want to do is something I would not expect to happen to anyone with M-Fe, even at the bottom. Masculine functions are hard to ignore, you feel their force and have to work around it even if it's a demon.
@@StanTheWoz Good point. From someone with M-Fe demon ISTP I can state that point seems accurate. When it comes to values M-Fe can work well when the Tribe values are similar but may result in problem conflict for the ISTP with the demon M-Fe. The F-Fe may just go along and not have as strong values. Everyone has their specific problem to solve.
@@4thNebula I think you might be right in a sense. Of course, the downside of all this "going along" is that there are a lot of fights that should be had, so a lot of problems end up getting ignored. That's been my experience anyway (same type as the guy in the video).
Close ISTP friend finally had the success with his business in the late 30s and 40s that he long worked for. Then he he kind of lost his marbles and threw it all away. Business, SO, the house. He had some issues already but damn......
I just became familiar with the "functions" column but what are the other sections? And someone explains to me why he keeps calling me double feminine.
Please someone explain to me what Di and De and saviour, animals, sex and active are?? I only know as far as the cognitive functions and their roles. Any help? Im also an ISTP
I've come out the other end of realising I've been in a very narcissistic family, I can cut ties and be totally ok with it as long as it's for my well being and my daughter's. What I'm big time struggling with, is my identity. Who am I? What's my purpose? What could I be doing to make a difference? I've missed out on making contributions to society with my passions and being a part of it. I also just can't get past the resentment I hold about it and over not being who I am over all these years and being ok with it. This video choked me up, 100% resonated with me. Videos like this help me see and think about why I behave in certain ways and how I can work on it and accept it. Thank you. 🥲
Apparently, INFPs' purpose in life, once we get our heads out of our ass*s is to remove ignorance and bring wisdom to the world. So here are my 2 cents to your touching comment. 1. Get therapy or read psychological resources to help you address recovery from narcissism as a child so that you can apply them to your current life to overcome whatever underlying issues it might have caused such as shame, avoidant attachment etc This will unburden you and free your mind to be happier internally. 2. Accept that due to lack of self knowledge you missed out on contributing in the past, but as long as you are alive you can begin any challenge so start whatever you want to do today. As long as you are alive anything is possible so look forward. 3.You will discover your purpose through "doing." Basically just start "doing" whatever might peak your interest and this will show you what you suck at, what you excel at , where you can improve etc and your purpose will be revealed as you attempt to improve your performance.
@@MeliMeli66 Hello, thankyou for your reply. 🙏 I'm sorry it's taken me a bit to reply to you. My mum is also an INFP, you guys are very wise and I have been looking into what you have said. It'll be a long journey but worth it. 🤗❤️
If the IxxPs and ExxJs lose their identities what do ExxPs and IxxJs do when they have their swings? Or if they don't have swings what is the ExxP, IxxJ equivalent of a swing?
Well, I (INFJ) swing between despairing that the tribe of humanity is doomed and that we might pull our collective head our of our asses to save ourselves and this matters intensely to me - unlike some people who can just box that up in a corner of their minds and go about their days.
Oh wow. I was really going back and forth between ExFJ and IxTP (as I am annoyingly identity oriented/apparently a very obvious decider) and my story is so stereotypically IxTP. Low key thinking I'm unique just to be proven anything but lmfao Currently I'm thinking I could be Ti-Si SCBP (I don't understand the gender modalities, but I'm thinking I have feminine sensing and masculine De). After this I wonder if I could be Ti-Ni instead, I think Se savior would be a bit odd for me but hey, everyone types themselves upside down so who knows. I really relate to the whole idea of having a mission, striving towards one thing in your life, getting there, and then having nothing left. Engaging in what I assume to be some play modality has been incredibly helpful in getting my life back together considering how averse to feeling and pleasure I've been for a good portion of my life.
I dont understand what is meant by double feminine? Does it mean that the Se and Fe are feminine? or the top 2 hero functions or the first 2 functions?
Whatever....your personal issues always matter...in the military. Ask me how I know. And the men are just as dramatic as the women. What he's saying is that he's growing up and realizing that it's not just his crap that matters. As a grown-up, he needs to care. That's the ISTP, ISFP problem....that others matter, period. Not just how they matter in how you compare them to you.
Do ISTPs sometimes replace empathy/sadness with anger/being mean ? So, rather than empathize when something happens that calls for it, they get a groundswell of anger or mean indifference . Just curious.
probably, and its probably because they are well aware that the tribe is expecting some FE use, but us ISTP's lack the energy to switch into empathy mode and deliver what the tribe wants, so instead going the opposite and easier route of being blunt or mean.
meaness not so much so certainly not deliberately. istp have a huge justice and fairness thing... so we won't be deliberately be mean to those that don't deserve it (by out values) but things can build up and u can get anger followed by massive regret and then self loathing which might lead to more anger. istps energy directed wrongly can be ultra self destructive
Hi I'm a infj here lead Fe enfp hybrid with a m&m animal savior last in my function stack also my Double feminine cnn activated AC/DC as a savior/trickster/ parent/istp
You sound like a ISTP doubledecider with blast last currently in their ESTJ shadow poking fun at Ni saviours theories stuck in the Ni Ti loop while singing a TNT it's dynamite at a sensitive double masculine Feeler
I think I’m a combination of INTJ INFJ and ISTP since I studied psychology, do visual arts, did kickboxing MMA worked at a Nursing home and am now getting into Information technology and Coding skills 🤔
Interest/skill doesn't determine type. Any type can persuade whatever they want. But we talk about phycology, so it's more of analyzing what's in their mind or how their mind work.
Honestly you sound like someone with high consume having trouble narrowing down things and not afraid of trying new experiences. You also seem to want variety and like to try different things. So most likely Ne or Se as saviors(top two functions) Do you have trouble doing things you do not fully understand? Do you hate to skip steps when solving problems? When coding do you like to understand everything in the code before moving on to new problems? If so probably Ti. If you only look as coding as means to an end or combining different "black boxes" to get a result probably Te. There is no way i can type you from your post but gonna bro guess anyway 😂 probably Ne/Ti
@@jake_with_the_BIG_snake yea I ‘Ni crack binge’ RUclips podcasts and documentaries and have watched so many tv shows and movies plus I probably listen to the most diverse songs aswell lol. So Ni, Te, Fi, Se but I’ve started to do a lot of soft skills so my FE is improving rapidly. My Year 12 subjects were English math visual Arts biology chemistry and I know alot of History and philosophy. I’m actually embarrassed by all the useless stuff I know lol haha since Ni is my primary function.
@@jake_with_the_BIG_snake also I’ve always been a big thinker and never fretted over the details ironically I always overestimate what I can do because I’m always coming up with new ideas and plans instead of being grounded in reality.
@@rajunaidu7751 the Ni crack binge you are referring to definitely sounds like it's either Se or Ne, since they gather. Ni is organizing and narrowing down data down to patterns. High Ni tend to like blast (share info with tribe) over taking in data for self. I am lead consume with Se savior so i recognize those binges but I mostly take info related to physical reality or useful facts. If you say you don't seem to be that grounded in reality and you don't fret over details it makes me think that it is definitely Ne / Si over Se / Ni (They are on axis). If it's first or second savior i dont know. If you get weird about people according to objective personality you are either INTP or INFP if you have Ne savior If you get weird about things it means either ENTP or ENFP. You could also figure out if you prefer Ti over Fi. Ti is "what are my reasons for doing this". Example: i live in a rough neighborhood so i want to learn MMA for self defense and confidence Fi is "do i value this or not without getting logical about it" Example: i saw an MMA fight and somebody roundhouse kicked the shit out of his opponent and i think that is so cool. Now i want to learn that.
This is legit the most generic life story 😂🤣 how generalized can you guys get , “we see the same old story” “they live life better then you then they unhappy and drink” wow, so specific to a personality.. good job guys
Well, not all ISTP is the best some actually work their a$$ off to develop their se and fe but some choose to be immature and rude to other. The point of this vid is to show that, when ISTP finally develop their fe and learn to be more healthy mentally and physically, they become the "best" mbti type.

As an INTj my demons are Fi and Se. I started doing art as therapy. I expected the work to be like me, Ni-Te, structured, logical abd masculine.

It's definitely not easy being an ISTP (especially as a woman) unless there is ongoing adrenaline/adventure/Se activity and/or major/life threatening crises. This is possibly the only time we feel peaceful and alive (or if totally consumed and laser focused in a project or special interest (on our own).

My ESFJ partner can hopefully take care of, and take some of the load off, so I can mostly relax and focus on my goals (and he knows how much I deeply care and that I'm there for him)
Is it hard as an ISTP woman because you’re expected to be nice and friendly all the time?
@@hirsch4155 yep that's a huge part of it!!

i wanna know more about these "stories" of the different types, and especially deciders vs observers issues!
Same
I'm an ISTP and the 'mission' thing is so true. The Navy guy would have felt life's 'little missions' whether he joined the military or not. We have this internal drive to just push past everything and get something done. The missions aren't always clear, but we always need to be on the move mentally and/or physically.
Once something we're passionate about becomes 'solved' we can lose sight and start spiraling into a dark place and it's usually people-related things that draw us out. Then we just go back to being the awesome Chads we were from the beginning (but, at least we're happy again). lol

i do the same as an INTP, i think. FF-Ti/Ne, i can see parallels and it took me a long time and struggle to see my demons as valuable. I still struggle with it still but it does make me feel like my life is integrated into one complete picture. The yin and the yang.
I also did the Ti/Ne going into scientific research lmaoo
I've been in that dark cold pit of dispare. Few actually saw this dark time, i could hide it well.This happened in my younger years. I must have a purpose in life or I just feel lost and fall into that pit. Female ISTP
istp here, that also used to be in the military. 10:39 in reality, there are a lot of strong emotions in the military. people do express their desires, values, priorities. The community is not really cold and stern as some civilians may think. Actually is quite the opposite there are a lot more hot heads. Most of them seem to be ESTJ, ENTJ, ESTP, ISTJ, INTJ, ENTP.
100000000% accurate MBTI got it right before you guys got ahold of the info.
After a long journey starting off thinking I was INTJ, then INFJ, finally figured the way out of all my double and triple upside-down confusions: I'm Ti/Ni. For the longest time I thought Ni was my top function because I'm sleep-first and I thought I was fine on emotions... because I absolutely locked those away to the furthest pits of my being so they never bothered me. Therefore the real issue became all these Se things popping up that I had to Ti solve... By myself... Because I'm refusing to use Fe under any circumstances... Meanwhile I'm going through this guy's same story of having completed my mission of "finish my education" and then not getting a job (because the team projects traumatized me because Fe bottom function) and then when I finally tried to get into the regular job life I'm not getting through the interviews because I'm just refusing to get into this Fe manipulation crap that you have to do and I just want them to hire me on my merits just as I am (I'm only now realizing how Di this is).
So then I'm depressed, anything that comes up is too much to handle, making me think even more that Se is my weakest function. Only once my life finally got moving a bit again I very slowly began to realize that sensory chaos isn't all that difficult for me to handle at all, I can just kinda juggle everything that pops up, albeit still reluctantly because my emotional life is still a mess because deep down I'm a masculine Fe that's being rejected by the tribe on everything I attempt, unless I completely submit (which masculine Fe hates apparently), which of course would lead to a feeling that I might as well be dead because the tribe sure doesn't care if I were gone and who am I even Ti problem-solving for if it's not them and I'm just miserable. Now I can at least do it, but it's all on a bitter auto-pilot because I'm not getting any shred of motivation out of my emotions.
Anyway, skipping ahead a few years, I now know which personality type I really am now and what the "problem to solve" is. Big challenge is going to be to do it without trying to cheat my way around it with the other three functions like I've been doing for over a decade.
Thanks for your work in personality types and producing these videos. It took a couple of years but you really helped me solve it. The final breakthroughs were:
1. Having very little expressive emotion, and a big focus on likes and hates, means masculine F.
2. Sleep and consume as top two animals means Di must be in the top two no matter what.
3. Logic always gets priority. Emotion needs permission to join in. Therefore: The Di has to be Ti.
4. I don't behave like a masculine Fe at all... So it really is the bottom function, not tertiary.
I guess I turned out to be an entertaining puzzle for myself.
We need the ESTP version! I like the format of this video because it's very informative and useful and it helps me figure out whether I'm a Ti dom or not, but I still feel like I need the ESTP version to have them side by side.
Yep.
That guy is 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Uhh this video came so handy...
IxxP, also going throughan identity crisis .. working in a Supermarket for 6 years, always having a busy schedule, changing to a teacher.. completely different jobs, and sometimes I feel like I cannot be totally myself as a teacher...
But I knew it was a identity crisis . Almost 30, it is weird, being an adult INFP
So basically savior Ti can just go inward so save themselves. Whereas Se has to experience to learn their demons. Mindfulness sucks in that case.
Yeah. We're our own psychiatrists.
Well I am self typed as an INFP and even with Fi I learnt in my work to get the job done. Working in a supermarket, there is the mission of no matter what happens clients cannot wait and need to get a good service. Which meant smiling and looking all florishing when you were sad and frustrated.
I guess I just stepped into my Te..
My changing jobs, a whole mission is different. FE needs to be developed and a whole new persona is being created
It's easy when your on your own as an ISTP since I could be content in a big house or living in my car. But when you throw a wife and two kids in the mix, this massive responsibility of taking care of them becomes so prevelant that I neglect myself. My wife sometimes forces me to go out and buy clothes for myself and I still feel guilty about it sometimes, because I'd rather get something for her or my kids. Fellow ISTP's you gotta take care of your needs too, otherwise you think you are down the right thing, but become very unpleasant to be around like the guy in this video. Thank you both for covering the ISTP as much as you have because it's It's hard to find quality content on my type besides the usual "mechanic" stuff. Please keep it coming!
I'm 19, and Ive already been through the crash it lasted for 5 years and I would argue it was a build up that happened since I was born here's why:
I did write a whole lot more but my first time but I accidentally deleted it lol.
-Getting to know who you are is the first and most important journey you should be on and it last throughout your life
- allegory the cave perfectly describes how everyone is basically living a lie. Maybe not completely some more than others. Most people are so used to being inside the cave the don't try to get out of it and will never see the light, and those who do see the light have two options, either stay in the dark cave where you are used to being in, bc it's safe or make your way to the light no matter how tuff it is. Those who do try also have two options either keep trying until you are fully out or give up. But once you get past the cave exit you will realize that the cave isn't the only thing in this world and your previous understanding was completely wrong. The best part of this journey is once your out you will no longer view the world the same and you will be able to see how other people are still stuck in the dark. You will need discipline and have the ability too accept bc the light will burn at first. It goes alot deeper than this, but for short you will need no bullshit, real world examples.
I personally used the youtubers:
1.jullian himself.
2.owen cook free tour
4. And tykwondoe to name the a few
And remember it starts with you taking the time for yourself.
On a side note where can I get y'all typing services? I'm %100 sure about my myers briggs type but I want to know the exact type.
This is also the gist of what austen alexander is realizing but he probably hasn't put a face on it yet. And it's different for everyone, probably bcs of the types
They have a website. Not sure if they'll type people that young.
I didn't know that the IxxPs stories were so similar. As an ISTP female, I've experienced these "crashes" very often. At some point, I thought I was an ExxJ because I was trying to manage everything, but something wasn't adding up with my other cognitive processes. Anyway, I'm looking to know what I need to do in order to grow in the areas I'm deficient in because I'm just tired. I do not want to live like a victim, blaming others, and relying on others for a mission, I know I have something to offer, but I'm curious to know what I can learn from this to be my best self not just me but for others as well.
What if you don't have so much an personal identity crisis , but an outward existential knowledge crisis? It's hard to take an hard sides on anything, yet I am restlessness in scrutinizing all postions.
ISTP, as Dave said in the past are the perfect type.
I could only be with an ISTP my husband is an ISTP. Everyone has their little quirks and issues but as a whole, they are the easiest for me to get along with. I am an INFJ.
This is my exact life story. Word for word. But you typed me as Dave’s exact type. I told you when I left I was an ISTP. You told me me reaction was typical. I made a video about it all. I think you are right that im MF lead sleep and an energy dom but im a blast last ISTP with the exact same life story. You also typed a RUclipsr Penguinz0 and said THAT is what a Ti/Ni really is.. that’s what I looked like and what I was doing 25 years ago. I am a Taoist like Bruce Lee another MF Ti/Ni energy dom. I had a seizure going over my whole life realizing this explained everything. There’s a video about all of this on my channel. It’s the only video I am making. I hope you watch it and it helps you.
5:04 That story sounded a lot like Dennis Rodman (ISFP) when he left Detroit Pistons. Before he built a character of him being loud, obnoxious and extravagant, he hit hard when in 1993, he almost attempted suicide after his first real father figure, the late coach Chuck Daly, resigned after 1992 playoffs with the Detroit Pistons. The team was imploding. He really lost himself, badly.
Even after he was saved by Craig Seager, built that character just to overcome his social awkwardness, climbed the mountain again with the Chicago Bulls, he lost himself again when Phil Jackson retired, and the team disintegrated.
From Apocalypse Now
Willard:
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.
Istp here that's true for FE even if our life is not together, we think that will solve it. It helps but doesn't solve it. The issue is we can't produce FI and we wither without it.

Female ISTP here (masculine Ti)... almost the same story but without the heavy crash needed to discover NF
This video is giving me major MLM Vibes…😅
Socionics correctly shows all SPs lead with a perceving function. And ISTP/ISTp leads with correctly defined SiTe = sensory pragmatism.
Kazuma! Kazuma!
I’ve come back to the idea of being a female ISTP… after considering over and over again that I must be seeing it up side down and I desperately didn’t want to be the dummy putting myself out there claiming to be something (cool) that I’m not…
I’m expecting baby boy no. 4 in a couple of weeks and my crisis after finding out, was to not be able to hold my position at my job, where I’m the one and only of my kind and doing great. I think the female ISTP story might often be to do with the identity struggle of being a mom and just feeling completely mal equipped for that and out of place, because that’s certainly not where we will climb to number one so easily. the emotional stuff being so foreign and empathy being so hard… I hate all the typical mummy stuff and having to go to toddler groups and play grounds again is a horror to me… all that Fe that meets you there. 🤯😱😵💫 I just can’t do it… and it’s always where I think I build up my mountain of tribe hate… just not getting involved, drawing back, … but I will try and get better at it this time round.
ISTP best type. ISTP here (FM-TiSe-CS/B(P). Maybe but it seems to me that the M-Fe ISTPs have a major problem of dealing with the M-Fe that may get in the way of Fe development where F-Fe may have easier time. So, maybe ISTP with F-Fe best type.
My guess would be that M-Fe would be harder to move but also harder to ignore. The pattern they're talking about here with the FF ISTPs suddenly realizing they have no mission and no idea what they want to do is something I would not expect to happen to anyone with M-Fe, even at the bottom. Masculine functions are hard to ignore, you feel their force and have to work around it even if it's a demon.
@@StanTheWoz Good point. From someone with M-Fe demon ISTP I can state that point seems accurate. When it comes to values M-Fe can work well when the Tribe values are similar but may result in problem conflict for the ISTP with the demon M-Fe. The F-Fe may just go along and not have as strong values. Everyone has their specific problem to solve.
@@4thNebula I think you might be right in a sense. Of course, the downside of all this "going along" is that there are a lot of fights that should be had, so a lot of problems end up getting ignored. That's been my experience anyway (same type as the guy in the video).
Close ISTP friend finally had the success with his business in the late 30s and 40s that he long worked for. Then he he kind of lost his marbles and threw it all away. Business, SO, the house. He had some issues already but damn......
I just became familiar with the "functions" column but what are the other sections? And someone explains to me why he keeps calling me double feminine.

Watch Objective personality videos strating with the oldest to keep up
I am a female ISTP. Having kids has forced me to try and figure out the feelings stuff. Not the best at it.
I've come out the other end of realising I've been in a very narcissistic family, I can cut ties and be totally ok with it as long as it's for my well being and my daughter's. What I'm big time struggling with, is my identity. Who am I? What's my purpose? What could I be doing to make a difference? I've missed out on making contributions to society with my passions and being a part of it. I also just can't get past the resentment I hold about it and over not being who I am over all these years and being ok with it.
This video choked me up, 100% resonated with me. Videos like this help me see and think about why I behave in certain ways and how I can work on it and accept it. Thank you. 🥲
Apparently, INFPs' purpose in life, once we get our heads out of our ass*s is to remove ignorance and bring wisdom to the world. So here are my 2 cents to your touching comment. 1. Get therapy or read psychological resources to help you address recovery from narcissism as a child so that you can apply them to your current life to overcome whatever underlying issues it might have caused such as shame, avoidant attachment etc This will unburden you and free your mind to be happier internally. 2. Accept that due to lack of self knowledge you missed out on contributing in the past, but as long as you are alive you can begin any challenge so start whatever you want to do today. As long as you are alive anything is possible so look forward. 3.You will discover your purpose through "doing." Basically just start "doing" whatever might peak your interest and this will show you what you suck at, what you excel at , where you can improve etc and your purpose will be revealed as you attempt to improve your performance.
@@MeliMeli66 Hello, thankyou for your reply. 🙏 I'm sorry it's taken me a bit to reply to you. My mum is also an INFP, you guys are very wise and I have been looking into what you have said. It'll be a long journey but worth it. 🤗❤️
Good video
If the IxxPs and ExxJs lose their identities what do ExxPs and IxxJs do when they have their swings? Or if they don't have swings what is the ExxP, IxxJ equivalent of a swing?
Well, I (INFJ) swing between despairing that the tribe of humanity is doomed and that we might pull our collective head our of our asses to save ourselves and this matters intensely to me - unlike some people who can just box that up in a corner of their minds and go about their days.
Oh wow. I was really going back and forth between ExFJ and IxTP (as I am annoyingly identity oriented/apparently a very obvious decider) and my story is so stereotypically IxTP. Low key thinking I'm unique just to be proven anything but lmfao
Currently I'm thinking I could be Ti-Si SCBP (I don't understand the gender modalities, but I'm thinking I have feminine sensing and masculine De). After this I wonder if I could be Ti-Ni instead, I think Se savior would be a bit odd for me but hey, everyone types themselves upside down so who knows. I really relate to the whole idea of having a mission, striving towards one thing in your life, getting there, and then having nothing left. Engaging in what I assume to be some play modality has been incredibly helpful in getting my life back together considering how averse to feeling and pleasure I've been for a good portion of my life.
I dont understand what is meant by double feminine? Does it mean that the Se and Fe are feminine? or the top 2 hero functions or the first 2 functions?
The first F is relating to Se and second F is relating to Fe.
First letter is always Se or Si. Second letter is extroverted decider so Fe or Te
No, they're actually the worst type. They're all just one childhood trauma away from becoming serial killers.
I refuse. John Cena, istp

Does this also apply to Ti Ni types?
Whatever....your personal issues always matter...in the military. Ask me how I know. And the men are just as dramatic as the women.
What he's saying is that he's growing up and realizing that it's not just his crap that matters. As a grown-up, he needs to care. That's the ISTP, ISFP problem....that others matter, period. Not just how they matter in how you compare them to you.
So... what's the fix?
Do ISTPs sometimes replace empathy/sadness with anger/being mean ? So, rather than empathize when something happens that calls for it, they get a groundswell of anger or mean indifference . Just curious.
probably, and its probably because they are well aware that the tribe is expecting some FE use, but us ISTP's lack the energy to switch into empathy mode and deliver what the tribe wants, so instead going the opposite and easier route of being blunt or mean.
meaness not so much so certainly not deliberately. istp have a huge justice and fairness thing... so we won't be deliberately be mean to those that don't deserve it (by out values) but things can build up and u can get anger followed by massive regret and then self loathing which might lead to more anger. istps energy directed wrongly can be ultra self destructive
what happended to the esfps :p
I'm told I'm ISTP, but I'm nothing like most of the ISTPs on here.

I think I’m a combination of INTJ INFJ and ISTP since I studied psychology, do visual arts, did kickboxing MMA worked at a Nursing home and am now getting into Information technology and Coding skills 🤔
Interest/skill doesn't determine type. Any type can persuade whatever they want. But we talk about phycology, so it's more of analyzing what's in their mind or how their mind work.
Honestly you sound like someone with high consume having trouble narrowing down things and not afraid of trying new experiences. You also seem to want variety and like to try different things. So most likely Ne or Se as saviors(top two functions)
Do you have trouble doing things you do not fully understand? Do you hate to skip steps when solving problems? When coding do you like to understand everything in the code before moving on to new problems? If so probably Ti. If you only look as coding as means to an end or combining different "black boxes" to get a result probably Te.
There is no way i can type you from your post but gonna bro guess anyway 😂 probably Ne/Ti
@@jake_with_the_BIG_snake yea I ‘Ni crack binge’ RUclips podcasts and documentaries and have watched so many tv shows and movies plus I probably listen to the most diverse songs aswell lol. So Ni, Te, Fi, Se but I’ve started to do a lot of soft skills so my FE is improving rapidly. My Year 12 subjects were English math visual Arts biology chemistry and I know alot of History and philosophy. I’m actually embarrassed by all the useless stuff I know lol haha since Ni is my primary function.
@@jake_with_the_BIG_snake also I’ve always been a big thinker and never fretted over the details ironically I always overestimate what I can do because I’m always coming up with new ideas and plans instead of being grounded in reality.
@@rajunaidu7751 the Ni crack binge you are referring to definitely sounds like it's either Se or Ne, since they gather. Ni is organizing and narrowing down data down to patterns. High Ni tend to like blast (share info with tribe) over taking in data for self.
I am lead consume with Se savior so i recognize those binges but I mostly take info related to physical reality or useful facts.
If you say you don't seem to be that grounded in reality and you don't fret over details it makes me think that it is definitely Ne / Si over Se / Ni (They are on axis). If it's first or second savior i dont know.
If you get weird about people according to objective personality you are either INTP or INFP if you have Ne savior
If you get weird about things it means either ENTP or ENFP.
You could also figure out if you prefer Ti over Fi.
Ti is "what are my reasons for doing this".
Example: i live in a rough neighborhood so i want to learn MMA for self defense and confidence
Fi is "do i value this or not without getting logical about it"
Example: i saw an MMA fight and somebody roundhouse kicked the shit out of his opponent and i think that is so cool. Now i want to learn that.

Well, not all ISTP is the best some actually work their a$$ off to develop their se and fe but some choose to be immature and rude to other.
