ISTP MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is ISTP? ISTP is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/sx - 953 in Enneagram, RCUEN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
The two main types of ISTPs: 1. The pragmatic, aloof and analytical tinkerer: ISTP SLI 2. The abstract, aloof and analytical theoretician: ISTP ILI Personally I think that the ISTP+LSI combo is a pretty rare combination. The IJ temperament doesn't represent ISTPs well and MBTI Ti-Se+Inferior Fe seems pretty anti Beta Quadra and more reminiscent of the individualism of the Gammas and the Deltas. LSIs are system enforcers and very procedure oriented and LSIs overall represent MBTI Te types better.
Biography
1. Ti - internal Thinking Ti makes decisions based on logical analysis done over time in their head. Because it is the TiSe's strongest preference, the functions below are said to "serve" the Ti. This just means that the Ti way of doing things gets priority most of the time. 2. Se - external Sensing. Se is the main way TiSe’s take in information. It means they use their senses to understand the world around them. They live in the moment and prefer dealing with things that are real and solid over the purely theoretical. 3. Ni - internal iNtuition. Ni is the TiSe’s third function, and it allows them to pull from every area in their brain to find solutions to problems, to look for patterns in the information they gather, or to skip ten steps ahead and predict what will happen in the future. Ni makes the Ti-led internal world very abstract and can involve lots of jumping around on intuitive leaps. This can make it hard for TiSe’s to fully explain the method they used to reach a certain conclusion. 4. Fe - external Feeling. Fe is the TiSe’s last function. As a last function, it is inherently not as strong as the other functions. Fe is the TiSe’s humanitarian side. It causes them to want to use their intelligence and creative problem-solving to help others and fix the world in some way. Having Fe last means that TiSe’s start out life being less aware of and equipped to deal with feelings than other types.
