sports. Uncomplicated in their desires. Loyal to their peers and to their internal value systems,
but not overly concerned with respecting laws and rules if they get in the way of getting
something done. Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems.

ISTPs are on the move. They like adventure, and often have an unusual way of doing
things. This combination of inward logical thinking with a final decision at the last
minute can be frustrating to those around them. They can prefer to work alone, executing
their plan without consideration for involving the others in the group.

Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving

ISTPs are independent, adaptable, and objective. Their primary function is Introverted Thinking which
allows them to analyze data and notice inconsistencies. In turn, their auxiliary function is Extraverted
Sensing which makes them hands-on people who process data through their five senses. The ISTP enjoys
working with their hands while evaluating a complex system.
They enjoy deconstructing and reconstructing a system to better learn how it works.
An ISTP is always looking for ways to be involved in their work and thrive in all-or-nothing situations.
They work well in crises because they are quick to make decisions and to put their thoughts into action.

ISTPs are spontaneous and prefer being able to react to the current situation than follow a plan.
The ISTP works best in an environment where they are able to work freely and view rules as a hindrance to their spontaneity (“Portrait of an ISTP”).
While they have little respect for rules imposed upon them, ISTPs strictly follow their own set of internal rules.
If someone violates the principles that the ISTP holds in high regard, they become hostile and stubborn.
They can be inconsiderate of others’ boundaries at times, but they are willing to accept
people encroaching on their personal boundaries in the same fashion (Heiss “ISTP”).

Key Elements to Working with this Type

. Respect the personal beliefs of an ISTP.
. The ISTP will disregard rules set for them and work best without physical or mental constraints.
. ISTPs are extremely spontaneous.
. They are doers, not thinkers: ISTPs prefer hands-on projects.

Tolerant and flexible, quiet observers until a problem appears, then act quickly to find workable
solutions. Analyze what makes things work and readily get through large amounts of data to
isolate the core of practical problems. Interested in cause and effect, organize facts using logical
principles, value efficiency.
