ISTJ vs ISTP | How to Tell the Difference!

[Njegos]

I am an ISTJ and my father is an ISTP. Everything you said is true. It is still hard for me to understand him completely. I value order and he is too much go with the flow.

[mznor]

mz norI get crazy, why we (as ISTP) can’t share what’s going on in our mind? I feel like have nothing to share with others sometimes. Another ISTP issues is we are invisible among friends or family.

[elishaj]

thanks a lot. after watching your video I am confirmed that I am an ISTJ BECAUSE I have the urge to read manuals. that's great

[jeremysmith]

Wow. Thanks for the video. As an ISTP this video was really well done and informative. You explain concepts very clearly and in a way that makes a lot of sense. I learned a lot from this. You're clear and informative. Thanks.

I’m a female ISTP and my wife is an ISTJ and it’s interesting how different we seem, but it’s only one single cognitive function

[jamesfreeman]

One uses Extraverted Sensing and the other uses Introverted Sensing. ISTJ and ISTP have opposite functions and should be fairly easy to tell apart.

I'm ISTJ. I always thought I was ISTP until I had evaluation done at school.

Much appreciated. I was mistyped as ISTP but am definitely an ISTJ. I think one additional thing is I've noticed morality and a sense of ones morality and ethics differs between the two, values as well. ISTJ's are much more traditional and sentimental but can have worse tempers than ISTP's from what I've come to be aware of. I've known many ISTP's and they don't seem to put much into sentiment and/or faith based systems. I look at the SJ's as the most likely to continue traditions and hold onto values firmly. Just a person opinion there. I can be pretty controlling and have also been mistyped as ESTJ. Well worded in this video.

Cool analogies and great straightforward comparison of Si vs Ti

Am I an IST or an INT?


Hobbies: Computers (Building and programming, linux user)
Gaming: Story, Visual Novels, Adventure, Action, Survival
Main Traits: dislikes people. focuses strongly on gaining knowledge

Why I suspect Sensing: In a situation in example, a video game in a stressful situation, I usually clear my mind with no thought and rely on my senses to get out of the situation, and the fact that I used to be very more reliant on my sensing around last year to the point where I lived in the now and didn't even think. Also because of my mechanical abilities when it comes to electronics

Why I suspect Intuition: Day dreaming, deep thoughts. clouded mind full of thoughts, the fact that I'm into computers and such. And mainly because of my abstract thinking at times and my love for theoretical discussions (Only if it's something I like though)

Dude awesome video. I’m estp but whenever i get kinda “sad” i go hardcore istj for like 12 hours

[ariantejano]

ISTP. I've been independent. I instantly know what is correct and incorrect (for a more productive application) based on my subjective framework, but I struggle explaining them.

[verocious]

I’m still unsure about what Personality type I am. I did the popular test months ago and got ISTJ, ever since then I did the test again and kept getting mixed results, my partner thinks the test is folley now I know how to direct the results abit haha
I thought maybe because of a change in real life dynamics that my results might show a different personality type, now I’m thinking if anything because I feel better I might just be using my dominant functions more.
Anyway how do you know your personality type for sure? When truly when I did these tests it’s all really a choice whether I make the first step in conversation or just shut myself off.
Btw your videos are the bomb, I throughly enjoy the RPG model type videos, sometimes I query whether people choose characters they want to be vs who they are and want to improve on. But it would come down to the question of is it all just about who we want to be anyway :P

[arlenehutchinson]

I don't know....am I the only istp not mechanically inclined? I have heard this stereotype so often.

[uthponsk]

Maybe video about INTJs and INTPs? I am sure that a lot of people struggle with telling the difference between these two types. I think your video would explain this very well

[antondeannova]

my boss gave me 2 skillful trading options .. and i had to choose one of those trades carpenter and electrician ... which do you think should i choose ..? I am a male istp .. and I like both jobs but I have to choose one of them and I hope your answer can help god bless

[Bec]

I did a test, my judging was 49% and my prospecting was 51% . so I'm like, hmm it could go either way. I don't much about these 16 personalities thing, but from what I understand. I think I want to be ISTJ but since I have 3 kids I force myself to be ISTP, coz if I didn't, I'd literally go insane.

[laszlo_kovacs]

ISTP... You know the kind of DIY guy wich takes apart a whole car just to fix a flickering light in the glove box....
And not marking a single cable or screw for where it goes.
And than banging their head to the wall for not doing that, but after burning out the whole fuse box 3 times they just figure it out.

Totally not speaking from experience. Nahh.

[itssh]

Im rarely going out w my friend because i dont want to set what time i should go out. I go out when i done and ready.

Randomly washing my clothes at 7.50 am because i want to, even thought i have class at 8am. Need to walking to go to the class.

Collecting rubish to make some craft but still no progress. W do it after im done my others project (maybe).

So this is istp right?

[justinlambert]

I would feel that the istp rpg type would be a rogue
