15 Signs You’Re An Istp Personality Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



Logical minds and skilled hands, the ISTP is known

for their mechanically-inclined expertise and

their incomparable problem-solving skills. Also

referred to as ‘the crafter’, ‘the maker’ or ‘the

virtuoso’, this expert personality type prefers to

explore the world with their eyes and their hands,

fueled by their naturally spirited curiosity.

But specific traits make this type so unique?

Welcome back psychos, today we’re going to be

presenting you with the 15 signs you’re an ISTP

Not only does the ISTP enjoy problem solving,

but they’re actually naturally attuned to

solving issues in times of conflict and crisis.

Equipped with hands-on creativity and a touch

of spontaneity, their methods may seem a little

irrational or risky, but they almost always find

the appropriate solution. Yet, the ISTP won’t

just dictate the solution, but would actually

prefer to get their hands dirty and do it

themselves when the situation calls for it.

Speaking of getting their hands dirty, the

order to better understand them, only to put

them back together better than they found them.

inner-workings and mechanisms that make up

Of course all ISTPs have their own unique

hobbies, but this natural curiosity allows

them to understand the ins and outs in order

to truly dominate their area of expertise.

Number 3: You don’t get lost in your mind

Well, I’m sure we all tend to get lost in

most introverts who have the reputation of being

daydreamers, the ISTP is quite different. This

interesting type has their feet firmly planted

on the ground, which allows them to stay quite

relaxed and optimistic in their day-to-day life.

They aren’t inclined to ruminate about the past,

Easily bored and ready for a new adventure,

the ISTP can find themselves drawn to high-risk

situations that give them the thrill they’re

looking for. Extreme sports, fast driving cars,

roller coasters, gambling.. And the list goes on..

Anything that gives this thrill-seeking type the

adrenaline they crave will likely catch their

quick reactors and tend to be tuned into their

outer environment, the ISTP tends to actually

excel in some of the riskier activities in life,

giving them a better chance at beating the odds!

A need for thrill and a curious mind is what

gives the ISTP such an interesting array of

experiences in their lifetime. In fact, curiosity

is what fuels this risk taker into experiencing

so many of the things most people wouldn’t dare

to try. The issue is that the ISTP curiosity is

it’s not uncommon for them to leave projects half

completed.. Which brings us to the next point..

commitments… but the ISTP doesn’t really mind it

that way. Long term commitments seem burdensome

this can make things like long term relationships

a little more challenging for the Virtuoso type.

friendly, optimistic and easy to talk to..

While privacy isn’t necessarily a trait that is

unique to the ISTP, being an introverted type,

they tend to be quite reserved to have such

an exciting life to share. Whether it be due

to their observing nature, or not, the ISTPs

generally don’t express themselves verbally,

and they genuinely don’t want to - especially

to people that come off as annoying or arrogant.

So.. certain social situations generally drain

the ISTP just as much as they do with any

other introverted type, but when the topic is

surrounding their hobby, expertise or project..

You may just catch the ISTPs attention! By

creating a common ground surrounding a topic

they’re well educated on, the ISTP may just open

up a little more. They also love to lend a hand

Number 9: You are known for acting too hastily

One of the biggest challenges in an ISTPs life

is learning how to manage impulsive decisions.

in many of their decisions in life. This can look

like spontaneously ditching important projects or

plans because something more exciting came up,

accidentally blurting out an offensive joke,

or even adopting overall unpredictable behaviours

that makes them seem unreliable or insensitive.

Sure, it seems like a good idea at the time,

but they can’t run from the consequences.

With a need for hands-on learning and a reluctance

towards abstraction, most ISTPs have been known

to experience struggle in some areas of school.

They may have even been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD,

or other concentration-behaviors - when in

practical application of given concepts in order

to efficiently learn through hands-on experience.

ISTPs are not only grounded in the present moment,

but they are also physically grounded within their

bodies. ISTPs are aware and intune with how their

bodies move and what’s required of it depending

on the project or activity. This gives them

the strong hand-eye coordination, agility and

dexterity that is needed for working with their

hands or showing off their athletic skills.

surprising to find a vintage classic car,

a top-of-the line motorcycle, or high-end power

tools in the ISTPs workshop. While they may be

simple folks who thrive on functionality,

the ISTP has their hobbies and enjoyments,

and doesn’t mind splurging on the finest of

quality when they’re looking to indulge or

treat themselves. Whether it be high-quality

hobby - if it catches an ISTP’s eye, they

just may rationalize the high ticket value.

Okay.. you probably get it by now that the

ISTP is incredibly skilled with hands-on work

but just because they’re good with practical

projects doesn’t mean they’re not incredibly

intelligent. In fact, the only reason the ISTP

personality type is so good with their hands

the ISTP brain is not only naturally equipped to

soak up facts and quickly comprehend new concepts,

consider themselves a nerd or a geek, while others

prefer to follow their expertise in handy topics.

For the most part, when it comes to sensitive

and emotional topics, the ISTP wants to be

furthest away from getting involved. Due to their

logical tendencies, even when the ISTP personality

type tries to meet someone halfway with emotional

sympathy, it rarely seems to be taken in the right

context. However, they still much rather deal

with circumstances by offering practical advice

rather than sympathy. Yet, unfortunately feelings

are a big part of being human, and this lack of

emotion may be the main reason this type is known

to be one of the lonliest personality types.

Number 15: You’re a fan of Libertarianism

ISTPs can see the logic in libertarianism as

a political philosophy. Possibly due to their

reluctance towards being controlled or held down,

the ISTP values the concept of maximizing autonomy

and political freedoms within the world. They

can see the positives in freedom of choice and

individualism within a society due to their

dominant introverted thinking function that

allows them to make decisions based on logical

analysis. This can also lead ISTPs to be believers

in certain social and political conspiracies,

with a subtle distrust in the people of power.
