Fellow ISTP here. Here's a cheat code:

Feelers, if you want an ISTP shoulder to cry on, tell them up front that you just want to talk/complain and the act of listening will make you feel better. ISTPs are problem solvers and they do care, they just don't know how to fix the situation. If you tell them, "I had a bad day, can I just vent? I don't want any advice right now, I just want you to listen." your ISTP will be like "okay, listening will help with the problem. Okay, I'll do that and the problem will get better."

"ISTPs classify people as either emotionally dramatic or chill" << painfully accurate

"TELL ISTPS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!"

I hope people really understand the fact that I can't read their minds, So they have to SAY what they want from me!

[emilyjh]

Spot on with every point. I think it's worth reiterating that ISTPs are genuine, playful, compassionate, and far more sensitive than we're given credit for. You just have to come at us with zero ulterior motives or emotional window dressing. You want to date an ISTP? Tell them you want to date. You want an ISTP to emotionally support you in a thing? Tell them specifically that you need emotional support for a thing. It's literally that easy, yet somehow people are extremely reluctant to be so straightforward in what they want from others. It never ceases to amaze me that people refuse to clearly state what they want, and then blame the ISTP for not being able to read their mind.

I'm an ENFP and sometimes it's a wonder my ISTP husband and I have been together as long as we have. We worked together and I was immediately attracted to him. I would try to come up with a bunch of different excuses to talk to him. Dropped subtle hints, which turned into very obvious hints, until one day I just bit the bullet and said "I've been flirting with you non stop for almost 6 months, are we doing this or not?"

His response was, "Yeah, sure."

And we've been together ever since.

An ISTP is focused primarily on narrowing down and condensing details to reveal underlying fundamental truth. Everything else is auxiliary.

"ISTPs aren't typically a shoulder to cry on. They'll listen, but will then try to solve your problem." Generally true, but I would add that I've learned sometimes just being the shoulder solves the problem for that person. It is because I'm older that I understand that, but I'm still very selective for whom I do that (primarily my wife, but there are some others) because it gets annoying and exhausting quickly. I've learned that if they need it, then I let them cry it out first so they can get that emotional release, because it makes it easier afterwards to actually set about looking at the problem and what can be done about it. I didn't used to be this way. I used to be the classic "stop crying and do something about it" person. It wasn't until my own meltdown hit me that I understood it.

Yes! Finally someone who understands that ISTPs aren't just emotionless robot mechanics and actually do care about people they love.

People seem to think we are this very complex mysterious creature that's impossible to figure out, when in fact we are very simple. Just tell us straight up what you want from us. No sugar coating necessary, no beating around the bush needed, don't worry about our feelings. Out with it. Just make sure that what you tell us is actually what you want. Whatever you tell us we will take as a definitive answer.

I think ISTPs are the best at combining sensory and intuitive ways of looking at life.

''The best way to seduce someone is to listen to them a lot.
But, someone has to talk''
As an introvert trying to get intimate with another introvert, that line really gets me. 🤣🤣

[lunabeekhuizen]

As an INFP, I love ISTPs, because they frikkin *get it*. They're really kind and genuine without needing lots of conversational fluff or stuff like that. In fact, it's much better this way, because immediately moving to solve the problem someone is dealing with is, in my opinion, a stronger display of kindness than just verbally stating your compassion because society demands you do. It's also more productive, which is great, because I'm naturally not very productive and I'd love to improve that lol.
Also I love the fact we can be blunt around each other and don't mind it. Very liberating- I imagine for both of us.

My sister is an ISTP. This is so accurate. She is the most blunt person I know. And she is so good at fixing things and making things work.

INTP Here’s a blanket, you look cold.
ISTP: I’m training for survivor times. I’m not cold.
INTP: Ok, ttyl
ISTP: Bye, and leave blanket.

My husband is ISTP. I am INFJ. We are so different but balance each other like yin and yang. This video is spot on. My husband is an IT/computer professional but his true love (besides me) is triathlon. Intense! He is definitely that guy you would want on your side if you were stranded on a desert island. He would make a shelter, find food, and start building a boat to get off the island.

[rinhooters]

I'm an enfp & my friend is an istp, when i text him "I want to cry" he will immediately answer "Why" and if i say that i don't want to tell him then he will spam me with "What? What is it? Tell me what is it". A minutes later i would already on the phone crying my heart out with him answering all of my question(everything that makes me sad) with honesty that somehow can make me laugh(in a good way that i can feel okay about myself).
I think once we can get how they see world and make them understand too how we see world, they will be the sweetest person that we can rely on.

[visinipathirana]

It's almost creepy how spot on your istp videos are!

[Sar_bear]

Im an INFJ and my boyfriend is an ISTP. We knew eachother for 5 years prior to dating. Shockingly, he was very subtle about his interest in me at first (he's shy). I didnt pick up on his advances, so he got impatient and messaged me one day and said: "i feel an undeniable spark between us, we'd be perfect together, let's go on a date." Lmao. I loved how honest and forward he was. Weve been together 1 year now. He's been very patient with me and thats something i will always appreciate about him. As an INFJ im very ominous, hesitant, and a tad sensitive....but he accepts me for who i am...mostly. He just calls me "special" a lot lmao. I can count on him to get us places. His mind is a map. His memory is pristine. He knows a lot about everything. Hes good at fixing things. If we were ever stranded on an island id have full trust in him. But we really are opposites. Like yin and yang. My strengths are his weaknesses and my weaknesses are his strengths. Guess that makes us a good team.
