Istp - Blog Posts
I am so sorry for not putting ESTJ, ISTJ and ESTP, but there was only space for 12!!!!
You can always comment if you like any of those three with INTP.
Personally I don't think they will work out with INTP (as an INTP myself, I am not fond of people with those types that much....so)
MBTI TYPES AS SIBLINGS:
ESFJ: the favourite sibling who gets along with everyone
ISFJ: the quiet, generous one who let's you have their cupcakes
ESTJ: the one who tries to lead but everyone thinks of him as a joke
ISTJ: the sibling who you come to when you have a problem
ENFJ: Listens to all your problems and is there when you are having a hard time
INFJ: Knows everything about you, but you know nothing about what they do all day
ENTJ: The sibling who would kill you and also kill for you
INTJ: Is emotionally suppressed but is always stressed and looking out for you
ISFP: would watch movies with you and encourage your hobbies
ESFP: is fun to be around and speaks up for you when you can't
ISTP: just too cool
INTP: acts like they don't care but they care more than you would ever find out
ESTP: fights with you for fun
ENTP: is the sibling who would say "you are adopted you know?" just to mess up with your brain
ENFP: is a bundle of energy and joy, always trying to get you out of your shell
INFP: tries hard to have peace with you but becomes diabolical when messed with
16 personalities on Valentine's day:
ENFJ: outside the house of S.O/Crush and telling them they love them with a bunch of gifts
INFJ: shyly giving their S.O a poem they wrote about them
ISFJ: making home made goodies to give to their S.O and spending time with them
ESFJ: gives "I love you" cookies to random lonely looking strangers
ISFP: confessing to their crush with a backup plan to move to another country if they got rejected
INFP: celebrating the day by reading fan fiction on their favourite characters
ISTP: does not care, unless they do, then making their S.O's day by showing affection
ESTP: is celebrating Valentine's day everyday
ESTJ: finds out it's Valentine's day at late night when their S.O is mad at them
ENTJ: takes S.O on an elegant dinner and tries to be as nice as possible
ISTJ: sends a "happy Valentine's day" message to S.O hoping that's all they got to do
INTJ: "look at them. They're holding hands. I want them dead"
ESFP: a Valentine's day themed party that's open to everyone
ENFP: goes out on a roadtrip with S.O and does all the things they want
ENTP: refuses to take or give gifts to S.O by saying "Valentine's day is a capitalistic holiday that's celebrated so that multinational companies can make a ton of money out of people's love for eachother"
INTP: what do you mean by "Happy Valentine's day" are you saying today is St. Valentine's birthday? I told you I am not interested in theology----
An INTP view of life: part 1
ENFJ: good morning my sunshine!
INTP: I just went to sleep.

ESTJ: you have six hours till the deadline
INTP: six hours! I learned morse code in that time during a flight.
...........................
ISTP: you know we can conserve more energy and live longer if we don't move
INTP: I guess so. You wanna live longer?
ISTP: are you kidding?
INTP: yeah, I know living is the root of all our problems.
ISTP: wait, what exactly is our problem?
...................................
INFP: sometimes I see my reflection and feel sacred that no one will know the real me.
INTP: interesting
INFP: that I will live in a world full people who don't understand the reason of existence.....that we might have nothing to live for.....that everything is worthless
INTP: are you having an existential crisis?
INFP: yes...
INTP: happens to me six times a week, here have some tea.
INFP: maybe you understand me.
INTP: I am very good with people's thinking, I see through them.I just don't like to go near them. How about you don't hug me?
......................................
ENTJ: I will become the absolute best version of myself!

ENTJ: the best version of MYSELF
INTP: so there's a lame you, a cool you, a stupid you, a nice you....wait nice one doesn't exist
ENTJ: when I will be incharge I will make sure you rot in a dungeon
INTP: well that's where the best ideas come from. I don't mind it.
ENTJ: I can't believe you infuriate and amuse me at the same time.
ENTP: so now the extros are gone, you guys wanna do something?
ISFJ: Sure, what do you want to do?
ENTP: I was asking about what YOU want to do....anyways how about pizza?
ISFP: I like pizza.
ENTP: great, which one?
ISFP: whatever everyone else likes.
ENTP:....ok ISTJ, pizza?
ISTJ: I don't eat fast food.
ENTP: ok, we will get some salad. Um...INTP...where is INTP?
ISTP: they left when you were blinking.
ENTP:....
ISTP: just text me when you get the pizza.
ENTP: INFP, what do you like?
INFP: I was a feeling a little down, if you don't mind, its okay if you do mind, I don't um....I don't like Pizza at all....you guys can eat I will just....sleep or something.
ENTP: You know right we can order something else for you?
INFP: I don't want to seem like an inconvenience
ENTP:.....you are so not... Ok INTJ what about you?
INTJ: .....
ENTP: .....
INTJ: .....
ENTP: ..... is he dead...?
INFJ: just order anything you want, we don't complain even if we have a problem.
ENTP: alright.....you guys are being very easygoing.
I mean.. yeah. Idk why they haven’t shown up yet honestly. I’m an INFP btw🫧
Yes.
guys i need help with choosing new glasses frames (and maybe new haircut cause the last time scissors had touched my hair was 5 months ago)
i need something to make my lethal masc face card more prominent
this is me:
this is the vibe I'm going for (would be amazing if balanced between badass and kinda angelic):
(also the guy from my pfp)
this was my last haircut (which was good but i can try something new which could potentially suit my face more)(i cant get shorter than jaw length, and my hair is really flat without styling):
for glasses i was thinking about thin rectanles/ovals maybe? i had thin frame cat eye (but they're too feminine looking, i wanna look even more androgynous/masculine) and wire rectanles from AliExpress (they were too big for my face)
SO GOSH DARN HAPPY
so so happy to be an ISTP
I share the same personality as so many amazing characters 😭
The list is too long to write but i'll pick some personal favorites:
Bruce Lee
Minerva McGonagall (Harry Potter)
Megara (Disney’s Hercules)
Mulan (Disney’s Mulan)
Toph Beifong from (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock)
Dr. Alan Grant (Jurassic Park )
Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
Kenjiro Tsuda
And just so many others! I can die happily with this info :')
I can’t believe people don’t know how cognitive functions work
Ti=titanium
Te=tellurium
Ne=neon
Ni=nickel
Se=selenium
Si=silicon
Fe=iron
Fi=...Fi
so if you’re INTJ your stacking is Nickel Tellurium Fi Selenium
Get it right people
simple (?) definitions of the functions
Edit: I made some changes (they are in italics)
Without a basic knowledge of the cognitive functions, it can be extremely hard to understand mbti. Here are the simplified definitions of the functions:
Ne (extroverted intuition): this function spreads intuition/ideas externally. The main thing Ne values is possibility. Ne wants to understand the dozens of ideas that stem from one event. It does not like to stick to one idea.
ex: when it sees a flower, it comes up with dozens of flower designs of its own. It thinks of all the possibility the flower can look like, thought Ne does not care if it is practical (or considered a “good” idea).
Ni (introverted intuition): this function forges an intuitive idea internally. Ni takes information in and thinks of one idea, one insight, on possibility. Like Ne, Ni is focused on what might be possible, not on what is tangible. It wants to dive deeper into the “truth” to find a secret meaning/contradiction.
Ex: when it sees dozens of flowers, it comes up with its own design of a flower. Unlike Ne, Ni takes its time to analyze the depth of one specific idea. Ne does not care much about the accuracy and worth of its ideas (it values possibilities more), while Ni wants its idea to be valuable.
Se (extroverted sensing): this function is focused on the external physical world around it. Se is focused on the present and what is happening in the moment. Like Si, it is focused on the small tangible details. Se is a fairly direct and objective function. It does not like to meddle with hypotheticals and theories (this does not mean Se is unintellectual). This function is a kinesthetic learner and likes to meddle with its environment.
Ex: when it sees a flower, it simply, well, sees it. It's a concrete object that has no other poetic meaning to it.
Si (introverted sensing): this function is focused on the real world in its head/internally. Si is oriented towards the past, towards repetition. It makes decisions based on how similar events in the past enrolled. Si values predictability (not necessarily tradition).
Ex: when it sees a flower, it remembers how the flower connects to past sensory details and it stores the details of the flower in its head for further use in the future.
Fi (introverted feeling): this function is focused on its own internal moral code/philosophy. It makes decisions based on how moral the situation is based on its own feelings and values. Fi is often seen as the function that wants to be authentic because it is concerned if the current situation/its decision aligns with its personal values.
Ex: when Fi gives gifts to other people, it contemplates on what gift it would like/value. Fi also analyzes how the gift would be valuable according to the person’s inner feelings and beliefs.
Fe (extroverted feeling): this function is focused on the external moral code. It is concerned if its actions align with external beliefs and ethnics. Fe makes decisions based on what the majority values. It is aware of how its actions will impact/meddle with the emotional state of other people*. Unlike Fi, Fe believes ethics are not decided by itself. Fe is objective, like Te.
*Though other functions might have this ability, Fe knows how other people feel on a “deeper level” and it is confident in its ability to do so (just like how Fi is confident in its ability to analyze its own beliefs). For example, Te might be able to analyze emotions on a surface level, but it has trouble understanding the emotions of others on an in-depth level. Plus, Te is not concerned with the emotional environment.*
Ex: when Fe gives gifts to other people, it gives gifts based on what the majority believes is the best gift.
Ti (introverted thinking): this function is focused on the logical world internally. It forges its own logical claims, reasoning and conclusions. Ti is mainly concerned with the internal consistency and analysis of one thing, rather than external evidence that supports it. Inductive reasoning. “The ball will fall because I’ve seen the same ball fall down multiple times, therefore it will fall down this time.” Ti cannot understand how one thing can contradict its own “rule”.
Ex: when Ti gives gifts, it forms an analysis on what gift would be the most beneficial based on the patterns and observations it witnesses.
Te (extroverted thinking): this function is focused on the external world of logic. It is focused on data, evidence and facts from the outside world. It is focused on if something is practical/aligns with external rules and principles. It analyzes things based on how it relates to similar external logical principles. “This ball will fall because I’ve seen other rubber balls like this fall, so it is logical to assume that this one will fall.” Deductive reasoning. Te cannot understand how one thing can contradict the “universal rule”.
Ex: when Te gives gifts, it analyzes what is the most beneficial gift by evaluating the already the existing/assumed benefits each gift option has and picks the gift with the best benefits.

Things about you that contrast every stereotype of your MBTI type
(and in general are extremely unlike your type)
Vs
Most stereotypical traits of your's
I'll start:
ESTP (7w6)
Unstereotypical:
I wrote fanfiction, had a phase in which i doodled everyday. Have had one relationship so far, don't drink alcohol and the last time i was at a party was more than a year ago. I also hate team sports with a passion. I love learning new languages and am a total TV show nerd.I also binge watch. Also I have never been in a physical fight. Lmao . Btw i also love to have philosophical conversations with special people and am generally attuned with analyzing my dreams and the meaning behind them. I usually take a lot of time to make friends (real friends).
VS
Stereotypical:
I love the gym , calisthenics etc. I love cars and traveling, and exploring new places with a passion. I generally prefer being outdoors to indoors. I like camping and sometimes am a adrenaline junkie.
Stranger Things: Max Mayfield: ISTP 6w5
Myers Briggs: ISTP
Ti: Max is very analytical. She understands how things work in the world around her, and applies that logical understanding to the Upside Down. She quickly figures out how Vecna’s curse works based on the files she reads, and despite not being a “nerd” like her friends, often surprises them with logical insights. She makes logical, impartial decisions, even risking her life selflessly, because she knows it is the best course of action. She always argues based on logic as opposed to emotion when convincing her friends of her point, even in emotionally charged situations. She’s good at “hacking” different aspects of the Upside Down with her Ti- like using the Sauna Test on Billy when he’s possessed by the Mind Flayer.
Se: Max is very impulsive and trusts her gut. She lives in the moment, pursuing what she wants and not thinking about future repercussions, like when she takes Jane to the mall in Season Three. She does, however, fall into a Ti- Ni loop in Season Four, not living in the moment and withdrawing inward. She is very physically active and enjoys skateboarding. She is practical and more interested in the immediate world than her “nerdy” friends, preferring to improvise than to learn the theoretical explanations of the Upside Down.
Ni: Max likes to develop a plan before leaping into action. She uses her internal logic to assess the situation first, then formulates a plan using those same Ti hacks. She’s good at laying out a detailed plan for how to solve any Upside Down related problem, coming up with clever, creative solutions. She is intuitive about the Upside Down and good at drawing conclusions from the available information about Vecna’s plan.
Fe: Max is selfless and willing to sacrifice herself to save her friends and the world. She doesn’t find it easy to open up to people, especially after the trauma she experiences, but finds it helpful to work through her emotions with Lucas when she feels ready. In season two, she is hurt when her friends don’t tell her things about the Upside Down, because she wants to feel part of the group. She wants to be on the same page as her friends, and is upfront about her feelings in order to do so.
Enneagram: cp6w5
Max values her friendships above everything. She tries hard to be accepted by her friends, and is always loyal to them even when it’s difficult. She faces issues head on, looking to solve problems with the help of her friends rather than running in the opposite direction. She is cautious and likes to gather data before making a decision, using knowledge to help her solve problems.
mbti aesthetics part 1 ~ istp
Social Interaction Experiment
Send me an Ask containing a MBTI personality type with a dialogue and I will reply. Let's see how an INTJ would respond.
Ex:
ENTJ: Let's do the thing.
INTJ: YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!
*Does the thing anyways*
OKAYYY SOO
I AM MISTYPED 😀
I said previously that I was an INTJ, well after learning more about the cognitive functions (Well I learned them before but I didn't really understand) I think I'm an ISTP..Lol.
But I still don't know whether am I really introverted or extrovert, I might be both but a bit more to introvert I guess
So basically ISTP's functions are Ti Se Ni Fe. I still have Ni and Se, but I don't think I have Te in my functions. I think I have more Fe than Fi because I also thought that I'm an INFJ aswell.. Lol yeah anyways I don't really relate to INTJ's functions
Kind of too long to explain cognitive functions so just search up cognitive functions on Google
REPEAT AFTER ME
SENSORS ARE UNDERRATED (ISTG THESE PEOPLE ARE OFTEN STEREOTYPED AS ‘BLAND’ AND ‘BORING’ JUST WHY)
XXTJs ARE NOT HEARTLESS (PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING TO ME ‘ OMG YOU CAN’T BE AN INXJ YOU’RE TOO NICE!’ AND I WAS LIKE I’M STILL GOING ON AN IDENTITY CRISIS BUT NO-)
INFPs AND ISTJs (In my opinion) HAS THE WORST STEREOTYPE AMONGST ALL. I MEAN NO HATE BUT INFPs ARE OFTEN STEREOTYPED AS AN “UWU MENTALLY UNSTABLE, DEPRESSED, WEAK CRYBABYS THAT CAN’T DEAL WITH LOGIC AND ALL,
WHILE ISTJs ARE OFTEN STEREOTYPED AS MECHANICAL ROBOTS WITH NO FEELINGS AND ONLY CARES ABOUT BOOKS AND LOGIC WHO CAN’T TAKE SARCASM OR JOKES THAT’S LITERALLY NOT TRUE THIS IS WHY THE COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS EXISTS.
AND NOT TO MENTION ESXPs BEING STEREOTYPED AS PARTY ADDICTED CHADS WHO HAS LIKE 2093849829 FRIENDS.
Just wanted to pass by to tell you that I loved your analysis of Neuvillette's type on PDB! Full disclosure, my opinion is subject to intense bias since I'm an ISTP myself (~90% certainty) however I hope this is at least some validation for your part. It's amusing since his behaviors are significantly different from mine, and yet his words all 'make sense', for lack of a better word. Contrast to Wriothesley, who elicits a 'well he's right, buuuut...' feeling. Difficult to describe in 500 charas.
Hello kind stranger ! This was a very unexpected ask i'll say, even though I suppose my username IS exactly the same on PDB as it is here, making me quite easy to find in practice haha
I'm really happy my comment made sense to you ! Even now, I still firmly believe everything I wrote, and particularly that Neuvillette is a high Ti user. I don't know if you've read it, but I think there's another very good example of his Ti in his character story 5; when he describes his opinion on constellation and "fate"
One as great as he should have no need for a constellation to shine over him. After all, "fate" is merely the manner in which the present ruler of this world plays with living beings. Now that he has obtained one part of seven of the authority over the mortal realm, and reforged the throne and title of a "Fully Fledged Dragon," he is one strong enough to equal and rival "the human realm," and logic would dictate that he need not subscribe to this system known as "fate."
I think this is another good example that, at the end of the day, Neuvillette's thinking process is closer to Ti than it is to Te. There is a lot of "If Y, then logically following from this premise we can conclude X" when we're actually given the opportunity to delve into his mind. Pierce made the distinction between Ti & Te this way:
→ « Introverted Thinking — judgement based on what is subjectively denoted; i.e. a priori analysis; e.g. “If you accept my definition of 'murderer', then you must conclude with me that Colonel Mustard is one.” »
→ Extraverted Thinking — judgement based on what is objectively denoted; i.e. empirical science; e.g. “We all see the evidence (bloody hands, scene of the crime, etc.) therefore, we must all conclude that Colonel Mustard is Mr. Body's murderer.”
And I think that if we look at how Neuvillette thinks "for himself", beyond his role of judge where he is supposed to follow the laws, he really does fit the former more. Another example I developed somewhere else on his page that even Vautrain's trial shows this tendency imo ! Forgive me for this copy-past and ramble haha, this was in answer to someone asking how exactly Neuvillette could be "impartial" but have a subjective function as dominant, & my answer went like this:
This impartiality & "objectivity" while being subjective is further shown in his story quest. Despite Vautrain being one of the people he is closest to, he does not treat him differently from others in the court. but his judgment is still subjective, as evidenced by the ease with which he considers "different kinds of justice" during the trial. Te users, due to their "inherent" objectivity, often think that everyone with the same information should come to the same objective conclusion, while Ji users do not. Pierce described… Te : “We all see the evidence (bloody hands, scene of the crime, etc.) therefore, we must all conclude that Colonel Mustard is Mr. Body's murderer.” Ti : “If you accept my definition of 'murderer', then you must conclude with me that Colonel Mustard is one.” The way Neuvillette approaches that trial shows that for him, laws are simply a "definition", a logical premise from which a logical conclusion follow in the context of a trial.
Neuvillette: I acknowledge your arguments. Vautrin, your revenge could be seen as a form of justice. Neuvillette: I understand your decision. Which is why I cannot help but feel regret… and even grief about the judgment I must now impose. Neuvillette: However, personal justice does not equate to justice as defined by the law. To execute your plan for revenge, you abused your authority and conducted informal executions. Your actions have thus violated the law. Neuvillette: Therefore, you will be declared… guilty.
Neuvillette personally understands Vautrain's actions, and even "agrees" that depending on your definition of justice, his actions can be seen as just and right. However as the chief's justice, his job is to follow the established laws. And the way he describes that decision is how we can see the use of Ti despite his "following of the laws". Because the way it describes it pretty much echoes the colonel Mustard example. -> Personal justice does not equate justice as defined by the law. If we can agree that this court judges whether actions are just or not depending on whether they follow the law, then we can see that your actions have violated it. This makes Vautrain, according to the law, guilty. This is basically what Neuvillette says, in subtext. And he stays impartial by holding strong to these kind of decisions despite personal feelings on the matter. It's his job, so he follows the rules of his job. What he personally thinks and how he takes decision outside of it though is a whole other matter.
I feel like Genshin has become much less stereotypical & much more interesting in his character writing as of late so Neuvillette is very dear to my heart on that subject ! And he's, as you implied, a very good reminder that MBTI is first and foremost a system that deals with COGNITION and not behaviour. Thus it is how a character thinks, and not its actions, that should be examined to determine his MBTI type. Thank you again for taking the time to tell me here what you thought of my argument, it was unexpected but very much welcome <3 Hope these additions also make sense to you !
Inferior functions as emotions
When I'm overwhelmed and many negative thoughts and feelings come on the surface, the emotion that controls me the most, is:
Inferior Ni: Confusion about what is really happening, misunderstanding of people's actions, difficulty to see the effects of a present action to the future
Inferior Ne: Fear of possible changes and new information, trying to multitask because of insecurity but without success, difficulty accepting difference
Inferior Si: Anxiety over things of minor importance, double checking everything and difficulty to recall past experiences in order to achieve something
Inferior Se: Boredom and reduction of physical energy, analyzing every plan without getting to actual work, difficulty in using insights in practical ways
Inferior Ti: Contempt of peoples' mannerisms and behavior, overly critical on others' choices and logic, difficulty seeing people's opinions and reasons
Inferior Te: Anger about people being too incompetent, acting like a mean dictator in order to prove self-worth, difficulty believing in self and others
Inferior Fi: Vulnerability and emotional weakness, crisis about morals, feelings of powerlessness, difficulty accepting faults and emotions
Inferior Fe: Embarrassment about personal feelings, clueless about how others feel, social awkwardness and difficulty adapting in groups and restricted norms
no wonder i love yuna so much, we literally share one personality type
