ISTP: Introvert Sensor Thinker Judger
“The Assassin” (Temperament: Citizen)
ISTPs are strait-shooters.
They look at the world in terms of objective logic and what can be measured. They have less tolerance for the abstract and hypothetical.
ISTPs have a knack for understanding mechanics and are adept in both the physical and logical realms.
Many great athletes and musicians are ISTP.
ISTPs tend to be highly independent individuals who enjoy exploring their environment and understanding how things work. They are usually quite interested in technology and problem-solving.
When it comes to making decisions, ISTPs prefer to examine all available data before coming to a conclusion. They take logical approaches when solving problems and seek out practical solutions that can be implemented quickly and efficiently. As such, ISTPs often find themselves in leadership positions due to their ability to think quickly on their feet and make sound decisions despite being under pressure.
