The virtuoso, the mechanic, the silent assassins.. but what's the best move for an ISTP in modern life now that Samurai Warrior is no longer an option?

I just wanna learn all the musical instruments one by one
-ISTP
I love that aim!!! ~ Nathan
SAME
I love games and i want to get good at gaming and become gaming RUclipsr
That’s so true. I’m an ISTP and I play 11 instruments well, and can play most other instruments at a basic level.
THAT IS MY GOAL
I play fiddle, guitar and mandolin. My next instrument will either be banjo or dulcimer
UPDATE bc why not: I’m now learning standup bass and was just able to mess around with my friends dulcimer which was the BEST
I wrote a whole long response to this... but it seemed too personal and blabbing. So I'll just say, I had several thoughts about this video and enjoyed watching it.
-ISTP
The amount of times I do that, write a nice long comment about something and then I'm like nah and just don't post it
@@casualk9377 I know what you mean, i often erase my comments. Because our brain is full "thinking", its easy to make a dissertation out of a comment....i feel ya.
@@NathanJGlass yeah, but it needs to be precise and effectively communicate. and not reveal too much. it's so hard.
This is forever the most ISTP comment
This comment section is so ISTP XD haha.
ISTP actually means:
I
Seriously
Take
Pride in being self-taught
I thought it was
I
Solve
The
Problems
But I guess that could be for multiple types
My lord do I feel this LMAO
I relate to this on a very personal level.
ISTP here: As far as my technical skills go, I've rebuilt my car's transmission, rewired my engine harness, opened up my video game consoles to clean them, disassembled my laptop many times to swap various parts, and I work as a paramedic.
I've always hated depending on others, even down to the simplest things such as a restaurant cleaning my table after I finish eating (I tend to clean my table and carry my tray back to the counter).
I know for a fact that I can teach, but I hate to do so because if the other side does not understand immediately I tend to lose my temper lol.
I also like teaching, but the reason I don't is I can't deal with the formal education system. Would kill me to have to tick all their boxes. Edit: Also, respect for the skills. You're doing great.
The temper part i really agree...
"I hate to do so because if the other side does not understand immediately I tend to lose my temper" this made me laugh out loud because of how relatable it is
Ayy rebuilt my engine, power steering and brakes.
I sympathise greatly with the first paragraph (I'm not a paramedic though, I'm a Test Engineer). The 2nd not so much. People are being paid to clean my table so why should I waste my time doing menial jobs? I leave those to low skilled workers.
can be very annoying being an ISTP... when you can do many things and sadly is surrounded by people who love to depend on you TOO MUCH. 0-0 i feel restrained to learn new things and help others because when they know i can do this and that stuff, they put all work on me and subtly breathe down on my neck with "you can do it better/you know how to do it" and then expect me to always do them the favor. 0-0 like... you know... i can teach you how it's done so you don't have to call me every time you encounter the same problem. 0-0
Yes. As I've gotten older, I've learned to started distancing myself from those types of people. Often times, they'll simply take advantage of you, and sadly, since we love it when we're useful to other people, it can become a incredibly taxing. Its a problem, with one clear solution, to simply walk away. It is what it is.
I think about this also.
@@fedup1606 What do you end up doing in life from a private and business sense if all you do is walk away? Asking as an istp
@@Julia_Berrrlin Its more about walking away from poor relationships rather than walking away from everything in general. I left the Corporate world in 2016 and went back to field work, working for a small mom and pop. Never been happier. I've been treated as a human being and not just a number for 4 years, working for them. Its a much better working relationship. Same with personal relationships. If Im not getting paid something back for my efforts, I move towards something else. Clarified?
THIS. I literally dumb myself down so that people can't depend on me and now I cant even depend on myself LOL 🤣🤣
One downside with being an ISTP is we hate working with other people. Team sports are a no no
took me nearly 40 years to figure that out lol
True, but it doesn't mean we can't be good team players, at least in my case. (In some situations and with specific people)
God I hated team sports. But once I found martial arts I realised that im not that bad at sports. Also I kinda enjoy playing team based esports.
I wouldn't say team sports are a no no, but I have found I tend to like the individual sports more such as martial arts.
There is nothing more frustrating than your teammate not learning from there mistake, I get headaches when that happen. (esports). I personally just play chess as I like to think.
I'm an ISTP and I do everything myself. I do all of my own car, house and computer maintenance and never pay anyone to do anything I can do myself or figure out how to do. I can pretty much do anything. I'm also very much into anything to do with science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality and politics.
how do you make money Dave?
@@patriciaeddishaw9244 Really? I'm grateful I figured this out pretty early. Leaving low skilled and repetitive work to others gives me more time to pursue new skills or development. And by this I mean shit I don't like to do like house cleaning, gardening work etc.
@@patriciaeddishaw9244 Wife lol. I wish. As an ISTP I find it hard to get that far with someone yet (28yo).
Interesting thread.
The first comment especially, wow. An istp into psychology, philosophy, spirituality and politics?? Is this true?? I would love to encounter such a case in real life.
Ah so I'm not the only ISTP into psychology. I wanna see if u like this subject for my same reason: Personally I see psychology as engineering of the mind, I see the mind as a machine and through psychology I can understand its mechanisms, with great knowledge of psychology I think I could have much more control over myself and my thoughts and be more productive so that I can become the best person I can be!
good luck to all the ISTPs out there!
And the same to you :)
@Life Progress - a channel for introverts I see you everywhere I swear.
You too!
Same to me
Thanks, u too
As an ISTP, I appreciated your advice to learn how to learn. I realized that the reason why I struggled in certain topics growing up was because I was not taught properly and I didn’t understand how to learn. Once you learn how to learn and how to learn in ways that are best for you, you can tackle anything.
ISTP here: built 2 houses without any previous experience, do all my own vehicle repairs, love electronics, built all my own computers, will have a go at anything and avoid reliance on anyone else. I'm a loner and recluse which others find strange, but that's okay
Dude. I know you're saying things to make good content for everyone. But you are a genuine person. I can tell that you care for people by the detail you put into this. You're the best person I've found to share information on personality types.
This is really good advice for young ISTPs to be honest, I think for me realizing this took more time then I would care to admit. I spent most of my teens and 20s just absorbed in learning about everything from computers to cars to plumbing and I originally did it just to have a good time. It wasn't until people started coming to me for help that the lightbulb finally turned on... "you know...I could start charging people for my help..." /hits forehead, DUH!
I feel you on that. The past 15 years I've been immersed in marketing and getting so good that I can just about solve any situation on the fly. Now I've gotta show folks the dissassemble the complex
1 - I cannot tell you how much it galls me that "samurai warrior" (or equivalent) isn't an option.
2 - The only time I really feel any sort of satisfaction at work is when I am sought out specifically, either to solve a problem or to teach someone a skill.
Amen to point 1 wait and point 2 ~ Nathan
There's always room for more people in the military. Or in a fire or police department.
female ISTP programmer here:
doing a PhD in computer science is really a struggle. I enjoy taking new projects but struggle to finish them. I worked in a company before, where the projects were half a year long and that was cool. as an ISTP, I'd say we can be good programmers only in a vivid environment.
I assembled my furniture, light and painted the walls alone. It looks shitty but I'm proud to be independent.
Knew a young master mechanic. He used to try explaining that fixing cars was inherently the same as fixing anything else. All I know is some have the gift.
I’m an ISTP and I have yet to meet another in my profession (I’m sure there are others, but we seem to be few and far between)- I’m an assistant manager at a retailer, specializing in loss prevention and security. I did a decent job as an “undercover shopper”, but surprisingly, my strongest skill set is in internal theft investigations. It seems like an unconventional thing to be so attracted to as this type, but it’s easier when you understand how much troubleshooting is really involved in identifying and resolving cases, and how far you can get by understanding your resources and knowing how to piece things together. ISTPs, don’t think your preference of sensing over intuition makes you ineffective as an investigator!
« What are the key, essentials/ lazered in »
Efficiency and effectiveness-Such an ISTP thing! My sister Jasmine is always trying to teach me the basics in every aspect of her expertise (piano, makeup, hair, cooking). She’s an intelligent person who whenever is faced with a problem, starts by using her basic Ti judgment. Oh! Also, I found her listening to your music 🎶
I want to get her on your channel :) and she’s definitely a fan of your talks.
I’ve been trying to make myself as independent as possible my whole life 😂 still need to figure out how to fix my car on my own. My Dad could have taught me that. I think I wanted to be taught more skills as a kid.
I think it’s pretty natural for ISTPs to collect skills. Right now I need the skill of not being overwhelmed when I have a lot to do at one time at work. I really just try to put my head down and try to think of no more than three things in advance. If something happens that stops my well oiled machine type way of going about things (which happens all the time) I get overwhelmed.
Nathan Glass yeah, I would say I systematically deduce things a lot.
Jess, my dad tried to teach me, but I would just stand there nodding my head while thinking about something else. Anyway, I've learned that I would rather diagnose my car problems; the actual hands-on work is a high testosterone activity in my opinion.
hi i was wondering if failure to launch syndrome only occurs with ESPs, would ISPs possibly be susceptible to it? Just because i heard it’s always ESPs. Just wondering... i’m mainly talking bout estps and istps :D
@@zyxorgun ISTPs are not like that. They generally want to get out on their own and be their own boss and do their own thing. I know you aren't talking about ISFPs, but I've known a couple that were slow to leave the nest.
Narcs in Art I really don’t know any SPs that have failure to launch syndrome. But consider the people I’m surrounded with not only left home but maybe moved very far away from home (sometimes leaving the country they were born in) to peruse their career/dreams. So I feel like my own experiences are super biased.
Se doms usually want to go out and do their own thing too, but I can see how living in your parents basement may facilitate that depending on your situation, lol.
When I decide to learn something new, I always try to understand some kind of basis from it, find the repeating patterns, basic functions. From that point, to learn faster or more efficiently if you want, I cycle through other thing I already learnt that have similar patterns. Basically, the more you learn, the bigger your patterns bank is, the faster you learn in general! And when I find something really interesting to learn, ahhhhhhh it's so much fun, time stops existing, hunger disapears and it's only THAT thing lol
-ISTP
Have you heard of the 80/20 principle? It's a recurring pattern I think you'd like and find interesting.
I think ISTP:s probably made the best hunters in the hunter/gatherer society due to Ti/Se/Ni. ESTP:s would be good at this as well.
But they are also really bad at taking orders from others (they really hate being told what to do) as well as being leaders (they don`t want to tell others what to do, just helping them occasionally), so living in a tribe must be really difficult for them, even if they had good survival skills
@@Catralasarguido That is me so much, I never classified my self as the alpha or the beta of a pack, more like the lone wolf. Just leave me be and I'll leave you be as well. I do my thing you do yours. We can get lonely because of it tho
It’s a good approach to learn piano with chords and scales. It’s been extremely helpful in my own piano learning to understand it as a system of interrelated patterns. But without songs to play, that process alone will be painfully boring.
-ISTP
The hundreds of skill books I have aquiered from online piracy is amazing. I started learning from them a few weeks ago. Gotta say I feel like OP anime MC.
Great vid! Very Ni suggestions you gave there too.
Dude gonna give it to you straight I don't really care if you read this but I gotta say lots of love dawg I was interested in psychology from a young age and I had learned about mbti and everyone else talk about types was giving the same bullshit Te by the book info I found your channel before I even knew I was istp it just made sense to me when you spoke and explained things so truly dawg keep doing what you doing
Really appreciate this. I’m glad you’re getting something worthwhile from the videos. I’ve always found personality types to be quite non-controversial since we describe people using traits and classifications all the time. This is just one particular way of formalising that. I’ll make sure to bump the next ISTP video up the list for you! ~ Nathan
Ahhhh this was amazing! Brilliant advice for the ISTP.
Istps are the coolest 🤙🏽
What do you type as again Nathan ?
Nathan Glass well I’m good with either or 🙃😏 I can definitely feel the Ti - Ti is a cognitive function I truly admire, and its strong with you. Have you delve into enneagram- socionics or the big 5?
@@NathanJGlass thats so interesting as I also typed myself as a Ti/Ni
But somehow I still struggle with organizing idk why
To all my fellow female istp's
How does it feel knowing that we're 2% if the population?
Lonely
Both me and sister are ISTPs. As far as I can tell, I don't think it matters a whole lot to either of us. Seeing the stats does make me feel somewhat unique though: )
If people werent so annoyingly stuck with stereotypes, it would'nt be that exhausting... ISTP girls are too cool for school, i find, and some people are very uncomfortable with that
I feel like the actual number will be higher if girls aren’t raised to suppress that side of us to fit in or to avoid attention. I typed myself as istj in school/college bc i was following the rules and doing all the work diligently. I wasn’t happy being myself back then. Now I’m much happier. I don’t care what % istp has but I think there shouldn’t be a huge difference in % by gender for any type without unhealthy social construct.
we are hot, gorgeous and mysterious. Ohh yeah .. I really like it.😉😉😉
This guy has our best interest at heart. Thank you, from an istp. You know how to unpackage tips for us in order to absorb it in our own unique way.
This ISTP thanks you for this very accurate and insightful video.
Suggesting programming as a career for restless fidgety ISTPs seems like a recipe for misery, the main things we need are variety and challenges to exercise our adaptability
istp here! i love self teaching. i‘m in high school, and was taught the basics of python there, but on my own i‘ve taken on two more coding languages. i try to do the same with instruments (bass, piano), languages and recently have found an interest in chemical engineering- all without school. to me this video seems both accurate and helpful to fellow istps. this habit of learning to learn has really granted me opportunities.
your content is neat, keep it coming:)
These advices actually work for both ENTP and ENFP,this is very interesting!!
Totally agree. I’m an ISTP and spent all my adulthood so far on things mentioned here, at the moment I feel like there’s nothing I wouldn’t be able to master and learning new skills becomes easier and quicker, with mindset trained this way there will be nothing holding you back. Now in my early 30’s I started noticing my Fe suffering a lot because of that but I guess it’s just a matter of shifting focus a bit and bringing a little bit more balance to the top 3 functions. Great video 👍
Wow this was really relatable and really good advice with the learn to pick up skills , I'm learning guitar currently , it's as if ive found a purpose in life . I'll keep learning this n I'm planjing on learning sth else next.
I've been waiting for this! Why didn't it come up on my subscribe feed a month ago???
Fantastic advice! As an ISTP WTFyears leave you looming aimlessly, all it takes is to DEVOTE yourself to a skill (especially one aiding in self sufficiency) and things start falling into place. Don’t bother learning programming unless it really is that interesting, you starve your Se and your labor gets outsourced anyway. Start working out, pick up that guitar, and read that manual.
“not even paying attention”

ISTP here: microsoldering brings joy, fulfillment, and money 🤙
I’m also an ISTP but I hate soldering...🙈
@@Laura-Yu 😅
I wish more people recognised the nerdier side of ISTPs -- which includes soldering. A lot of people seem to think you're yahoos or something, when you're Ti dominant.
Learn two skill but don’t be over ambitious lol 😂 as an istp if I pick up a hobby or skill next thing I know it 3am 4 days later and I haven’t slept but I can recount every aspect of every book written on said subject including the history and have done several experiments in it.... just starting a garden was a several day bender lol but here I am now with a massive garden, orchard, vineyard and berry patch... you know cuz I wanted to plant a tomato once
It took me a long time to realize the best way to learn skills is to focus on a few at a time and give your all to it, rather than shoving as much info into every bit of time as possible. Learning this way is fighting against the way our brains was designed. Focus on one thing and hammer it down and repeat. Our whole lives we will be fighting the learning curve and learning is child’s play. Read a mind for numbers, it’s all about how to learn, and it’s basically what my friend said, start with the big picture, take it apart and put it back together. Good analogy’s are puzzles and brick laying, peace and love fam ✌️
I knew I was actually an ISTP when I would watch RUclips videos to learn how to do things like rebuilding a transmission, but I’d always forget and end up forgetting everything the video said and just start taking things apart.
I thought I was an INTP but when I was a kid I’d take things apart without any intention of putting them back together. I just gotta get in there and see.
Same. I use to type INTP but I know I’m ISTP. I also use to take things apart as a kid and also watch videos on how to do something then forget. 😆
Yes!
I remember coming to my friends' appartment to fix their printer. It was the 1st time I dismantled any printer but I was able to fix it in 1 hours or 2. It was basically like I was adapting what I learned from fixing my cars to other stuff. Same with plumbing I fixed at my former appartment.
In the end, I think the skillset we try to learn doesn't really matter, the real important thing in my opinion is how to approach it. Understandig the role of the components or factors involved in every skill, to work on them one by one if we feel it is our weak point. Troubleshooting basically.
I let you guess what my MBTi results are in my case :v
Now that we live in such digital world I just don't want to be part of it, I don't want to work for someone, I don't want to rely on the internet to have income, I don't want to do anything related to digital stuff.........
And yet I'm in the animation industry
Talking to a friend today:
Me (ISTP): So I'm contemplating building my own house. I've been on youtube all day just studying the process and this is actually easy when you break it down step by step it's no big deal.
My INTP friend: that sounds like way too much work, why are you like this?
As an intp, your comment exhausted me
@@The-yb2up you guys never just do the damn thing....lol
As a istp my motto is if the Crowd Goes North I go south and what I do for a living I specialize to the degree that I don't have to be dependent upon anyone simply because of my skill level I can go anywhere and make the prevailing wage !
Solid advice, it makes a lot of sense and also explains why I have almost always preferred learning things myself, cause then I get to skip all the non-essentials. I feel like ISTPs, we are the types to almost always toss out the manual first thing 😅 and then get down to business.
Over the course of the past 9 years I designed and built my 3000 sq ft house myself from scratch learning all the skills required as needed along the way. I finally am finishing up next week and I’ve often wondered if it was an insane feat. I just learned about this personality classification system. Does the idea of building your home yourself this way appeal to any of you other ISTPs, or is it really crazy? Lol
That is my full on dream! I'm 18 and starting off with a carpentry course, then I'll move onto plumbing and electrics until I have all the skills I need to be able to do that. It's nice to see (/read about) people at the end of timelines like the one I've planned for myself! Congrats!
My dream too. Probably too late to realise it but oh well. On to the next life...
For the most part fixing and building things bring me life, nothing compares to being in the zone building something with loud music playing
Thanks! I’ve been waiting for this vid for a while. Challenge accepted
I couldn't see programming as a career. I've seen the work life of many and if I am just going to die of boredom. The only times I prefer to learn programming is if there is something I want to do but that is usually a heap of passion that dies quickly.
Yes, the programming is waste to me, because it is just sitting in one place for a long time, that makes me bored.
Edit:
I had something meaningful and well written. Decided it had too much talking and personal details. Great video!
Yours truly,
A istp
This and your last Istp video really spoke to me. :)
Coming from an ENFJ, I love you ISTP guys. Y’all are cool❤️✨
I hate how I have to go through things myself to learn. I figured this out awhile ago but if I came across this video I wouldn't have taken it seriously at all.
I don't know about your (but) after saying programming is a good choice. I think this might be a very good reason why ISTPs probably will do well in it because of Introverted Intuition. It allows the ISTP to niche down into something knowing so much and so well that not many others around are able to solve the specific problem they are able to.
But yeah, definitely learning more than one skills is better and it's also fun to go through the process of knowing nothing to knowing more than everyone and maybe even innovating.
im not the pyhsical typed ISTP, i'm a coder. i have a very particular way of doing my job and when I put this on production it proves more efficient than the market's default. i choose frameworks and technologies not by popularity but for efficiency and productivity generally i'm a early adopter ... and I kinda love doing this. i do not pass on any interview don't have the fit for any corporation. so people call me when they need someone to make MVP's. i have a lot of imposter syndrome but recently I get astonished at how good I am even not being accepted on any interview, guess that freelancing, teaching and entrepreneurship is my thing.
I love computers and hang around with them what i've Been doing most of My Life now. Solving problems is fun and also i've built all My PC's myself. Recently i picked to learn Greece and have a goal to visit and speak It and also picked another new hobby with a bit handy work with threads. So far this video is quite accurate.
I am an ISTP and mastering one's launguage is a hard thing to do, and requires a lot of effort.
Learning to learn is pretty good advice. Learning things is actually my top skill.
I can pick up new things so quickly, that's why school always bored me. It's like "alright no one cares about all these details, how can I use this already?!?!"
Everyone asks me to do stuff for them though... gift and a curse
2:33 I already think like this automatically XD I feel I've always taken on a very "fill in the societal gaps" role in life.
First year of hs I chose 3new electives: woods, comp prog, cyber. I've enjoyed woods the most so far-i freakin love it, I hate comp prog and cyber because we're js sitting on chairs for 2 periods and it's so tedious and slow. Woods on the other hand, is all about being hands on. With each thing I do I can physically see the change, feel it. All I can here is the thrum of machines. It's all here's the instructions, do it.
So i have the main three functions of an istp, but not the least usable function. And i have never heard anything more accurate. I was a well rounded child, and work well at everything of many different kinds of things of all subjects and categories. When ever tell people oh yea i can play violin, cook, dance, work with wood, i can draw, paint, fix electronics, garden, bind books, the list goes on. Some will say oh your just so naturaly good at everything, and im just like no there just easy. Breaking everything down to just the core parts of it then become an expert in those you can do anyrhing. I really like this video and i might take you up on your Challenge. I have to think of something new to learn tho. Maybe machine sewing and wood carving.
To win, as an ISTP in the workplace is to become very good at something. Then mentor other people around you so as to elevate them to your level. Bosses and companies like that, and not only does it make you feel good, but you get more $$$$. Everybody wins.
As a female ISTP married to a male ENFJ, I'm the fixer and handyman. It used to really bother my husband, especially in our early marriage (we've been married 19 years). Now he just leans into it and I go to him when i have to address interpersonal situations and I don't want to come off as a jerk.
Learning and doing is my hobby. You give me a book or video and I can do almost anything.
my stupid love infected brain read the title of the video as "How to win an ISTP" ...damn I really have a problem
That would be an interesting video idea
That was a nice take on Pareto's 80/20 principle Nathan. Great effort.
Such a great video! And great channel!
ISTP dental student here. I feel like dentistry isn’t something that comes up as a fitting career as an ISTP. Dentistry requires mastery of various hand instruments and continually evolving technologies and is a career that is both mentally and physically engaging. I think all ISTPs that are interested in healthcare should look into it. Engineering and software development are other careers that I could see myself doing. I’m learning how to code currently as a new hobby and I already find it addictive
The teaching thing you mentioned is very true. I do it all the time as a student to help me learn and I enjoy the positive feedback as well seeing as I’m not as socially inclined as I would like to be in most cases
oh yeah, and you know how to make things look good too. grind just the right amount off that long tooth.
When I bought an electric guitar to learn myself playing, first thing I did was to open it up and shield it to avoid static noise.
When I bought a console first thing I did was to mod it even though I used soldering iron once before and it required soldering micro points on the motherboard. Did it and it worked.
When I had a car I was doing everything on it myself cause I didn't trust the mechanics to do a goos enough job 😂 It got to a point that I wanted to replace the clutch on the sidewalk but I could lift the car high enough to remove the transmission. So I sold the sucker just like that.
Was building PCs when it actually required some skills.
Learning how to learn is the best advice cause we're really frantic and get easily distracted by the new shiny thing. Lack of discipline is something I always struggled with.
As an istp my love language is helping people do things well in a way that benefits them, just small changes that make big differences in outcome. I feel its where I feel the most confident. I think you can learn things from people of all experience levels no matter what the subject is. I hate people that don't like to learn better more efficient ways simply cause they think they know best. Shit even the way I do things is being changed constantly trying to revise and perfect it.
Welding! As a female istp ive always wanted to work with my hands. Learning to weld is a dream of mine. And there is a huge need for it in industry jobs.
ISTP here. I love teaching, but more one on one with motivated students. I have taught most of the stringed instruments and latin. I am slowly picking up piano by working my way through a hymnal and just picking songs I like. Next up, sewing. I already do most of the car repairs (or I look up how to do it and tell my husband because I do not have the muscle for some of it)
Learning to learn is the way.
I started learning coding in middle school, just because it was interesting to me. After graduation I found a job of a site administrator, and then decided that I don't need to go to university and continued learning programming on practice. Now I work for a big company, but I'm scared to leave it because I don't have a degree and I have ISTP approach to coding. I don't want to learn technologies that I don't use, and will have to prove to the new company that I can learn very quick on practice if they give me a task. My current company values me because they know I can solve any problem.
I also don't like to communicate, when the problem requires me to ask help or information from someone it stunts me.
The moment you mentioned that coding has become so commonplace I was so much expecting your insight on what would be a better area to go into for an ISTP :) Then you went into a skill of learning, which is great advice! I am still curious what are your thoughts on best areas ISTPs could specialize in? :)
thanks i finally found my type.i hate paying for services i found very interesting to learn new skills.
that video hits hard - motivating
As an ENTP, ISTP's are my favourite partners in crime and fellow loners.. usually good at doing the 'things', however getting them to do my 'things' can be another story. They're super good hustlers/business men give space and time, however in the moment they can't outwitt me. Despite all the nonsense I spew with my big mouth they do take it on board. I can usually rely on their ego and cockiness to play predictably towards my own ends. We can be 100% earnest with ea other most of the time, despite ISTP's dubious nature. I feel like they're Eminem and I'm Slim Shady sometimes. They're equally as rebelious, irresponsible and manic as myself alot of the time too. IMO smarter than INTP more often than not. But when it comes to new things or people thats when they shy away and I lure them into the chaos. Funnily enough they will probably continue with those things or people well after I'm done.
thank you, i needed this as i am a Full on ISTP
What are u ?
In my experience, people rarely desire to understand how something actually works. They just want shit fixed fast.
I wrote a long message about my experience being an ISTP but deleted everything because it got too boring. To summarize, here is my approach to learning as an ISTP:
"What happens if I do this?" :)
I got good grades in high school but I don't want to study theory without practical and I was interested in automotive mechanic, I did learned it.
Aha, the 80/20 principle, essentially. This is also the kind of approach an INTJ would take, or advice we would give, so thumbs up.
Thanks alot Nathan ❤
Istp checking in.. I am a plumber and I would say I am a master plumber I just don’t have a state license saying I am..and i use to be a industrial equipment mechanic.
My ISTP husband is an engineer (surprise, surprise) and he is forced to work in group situations at work, of course... The thing he complains about the most, the absolute most, is other people not listening to him when he's spotted an issue. He can see an issue 50 steps down the line and knows it'll screw up the entire system they're working on. He'll bring it up, but always get shot down by those who "know better" only to watch everyone scramble two years later when things are falling apart.
This hasn't happened once or twice, this has happened so many times I've legitimately lost count. I often ask him why he doesn't bring up these past failures to show that he's always right, but he just can't bring himself to do it. It's frustrating to see it happen again and again because I know it irks him, but he can't bring himself to tell people to STFU and listen (though I can't claim to be any better as an INFJ).
@@Memento_Mori3210 Haha! There are certainly flaws. ISTPs would be the ones to find them. ;)
@@Memento_Mori3210 I think you guys are the best type. Of course, that's merely an opinion, but if I could change my type, I'd jump at the change to be one of y'all. :)
@@Memento_Mori3210 Here's hoping! It wouldn't hurt to aspire to be more like you guys anyway.
@@Memento_Mori3210 Thanks so much. You guys are amazing.
I'm an ISTP who was an education major but had to switch out because I was going insane. Teacher programs are all about bloated standards and unnecessary learning systems
I'm an .. XSTP, and Commercial Trucking is the SHIIIIZ. Honestly. Unexpected, sure.. but it fires on so many levels. I'm traveling -> Getting those Se interactions that I don't necessarily intend on committing to XD. I'm makin cheddar cheeeeeese. Nerding out on the mechanics of it all. I'm a mastering Safe driving.. Showin fools how to slap trailers into slips in tight spaces like it aint no thang. Idk. It's firing on so many levels for me, and it doesnt feel like work at all. The only real bummer is Having to go to particular places too repetitively sometimes. But it's and adventure 100.. or.. 85%! Would I have preferred to be a UFC fighter? Yes. But these opportunities arise as well. Then to get back to my nest in TN.. kick it and reflect.. hell yeah
Oh my goodness .. yes. I used to tell people if you don't know it can be done, there is no point in deciding if it will be done. So, like, if you know WHAT you need and WHERE to get it and HOW much it costs and THAT you can afford the materials, get the materials to where they need to be and pay for or need to be the needed labor, therei s no reason to consider building a thing.
ISTP here. Yes, this! Great video
When I am in the zone, inventing. It usually comes from anger or frustration. "Why are these idiots not just solving this".
My greatest strength as an ISTP is how much I can do with so little.
I played football for a good 8 years of my life the coaches never seen me as a starter but I had the motivation to go out and make a play. I wish they let me in often I would of been in the nfl
Damn you got me! 😂 am the person my classmates come to for physics and math questions -istp
In ISTP forum I barely see any teachers. Mostly mechanic type males and many question if I really am an ISTP, ISTPS in this forum have actually told me that they cannot imagine an ISTP teacher. However, ISTPs make great primary school teachers, if they have great classroom management and relationship building . The skill that is of utmost importance is relationship building and I realized this much later. Without these relationships, you will not be able to teach the essential skills to these kids. You HAVE to build that up first and that has not always been easy for me. I am an excellent performaer at work and I am always using quantitative data analysis to improve my teaching.
I started out teaching after college. It was a mistake. Teaching full time requires too much engagement with people throughout the day. It's too draining and you don't realize it. I think it's the constant communicating.
Yes. I agree with you . I come home drained. I think this job turned me into ISTP. I used to be more cheerful and friendly? Now I love solitude outside of work. I have learned to break rules in this government job that requires a lot of paperwork and following regulations.I actually love the moments in the classroom. There is a lot of laughter in my classroom. However, it comes at great personal cost. I m less than a decade away from my pension ( knock on wood) . Now I have to stay. I wonder if I’m making a mistake by doing so.
I don’t follow ALL the rules at work but I make sure not to break the criminal law, but the rules can be numerous and silly. This job has also forced me to pick and choose what I need to get done so that I can be EFFICIENT. I learned not to grade homework , pick on students go to the front and explain a concept, ( they will make sure they understand because they don’t want to get embarrassed in front of the class) grade only tests ( you can still tell who is failing that way anyway) . Otherwise, I would be grading papers late at night and I’m not doing that.
Teacher here 🙋🏼♀️. I will say that I haven’t really taught in traditional settings, which would have killed me off. I taught remedial Latin, which had only 3 students at 2 different levels of Latin. Lots of one on one help. I also teach violin, viola and cello both privately and in a classroom setting. I had basically no oversight and could do whatever I wanted, so I was able to tailor things to my students. If I had to teach I preset curriculum, I would probably go rouge and maybe get fired, though I am pretty good at getting out of stuff. For teaching, tutoring, and non traditional classrooms are the way to go.
I'm currently learning 3 instruments, I've almost mastered the drums as a started when I was 9, I'm currently mastering the piano but my guitar skills on the other hand are something to be questioned
I play the piano and guitar (feel free to check out my Nathan Glass channel if you want to hear some of that stuff) and I would LOVE to learn to play the drums. I feel like that's a big missing piece since my rhythm is not the best at times ~ Nathan
I am an ISTP, and I'll send a video soon my Nero's cosplay tribute video and sword to you and how I've edited it.
Yep, learnt how to use a sewing machine from youtube tutorials (had a lot of skirts to alter lol) and do repairs around the house. I'm also learning a language and coding by myself. I'm not rich, as long as it's not something I fear I'll catastrophically fuck up, I'll try to do it myself. That being said, I feel like I get bored easily once I somewhat know how to do a skill sufficiently well, I move on to learn a different one. So I don't reach the "master" level, at least to my standards
When I was a little girl, I gouged out the eyes of dolls. My grandmommy had a lot of brooches, I took apart 3 huge caskets, I took apart all the medals of my grandfather, I took apart the radio... I was 4-5 years old...ISTM lol
I think that you would find it amusing that my piano teacher taught Liberace when he was a student in Chicago I believe. This very talented German lady would never allow me to play by ear, but insisted that I read the music perfectly. Therefore, I can still read notes, but have no pleasurre in it.
I'm a licensed plumber, but I work for a company that does a lot of commercial and industrial work. I get to do a lot of dangerous task, and I jump on every one of them. Love to work by myself. I let my work and productivity speak for itself. Oh yeah, I'm 56 years old. I'm probably going to retire at about 62. I have atheists and have had a couple of knee and shoulder surgery but other than that I'm healthy ! I still party a little bit but nothing stupid. I grew up in the south so I grew up driving tractors, shooting guns, riding horses, dirt bikes, working on cars and trucks and what ever broke down. And I'm a big loner, I could just be around my wife and I would just fine.
