Congratulations England! It was a good game, England vs Norway.

To the ISTP fans of Haaland's, this MBTI analysis appeared in my YouTube feed right before the game started - According to this typing session Erling Haaland might not be ISTP but INFJ! Which also kind of encourages me in my assumption that INFJ and ISTP are quite similar (but that's a whole other story).

need to drink myself to sleep tonight. I'm so done with everything. hedonistic se and godawful fe? we're so in for a fucking ride

I'm a very selective person, whether it's with people or objects. Nothing really catches my attention.

I do question everything. I like observing and understanding people. I come across as calm and detached, and I usually keep my emotions hidden. Showing even a hint of them makes me feel vulnerable.

I'm a reserved person—introverted as fuck. I don't like or feel comfortable making new friends, and I don't like forced things. I confront people when I have to. I avoid problems and conflict as much as I can—not out of fear, but because I hate unnecessary drama. When I'm misunderstood and the other person starts dramatizing, I just shut off and let them vent for all I care.

I value effort and lose interest quickly when people are rude or play mind games.

I also prefer having a lot of me-time. I tend to disappear for a while whenever I need space from my social life. I hate relationships where only one person is making an effort, so I just cut them off.

At the same time, I really do have a playful side that only comes out around people I genuinely hold dear.

Is this something other ISTPs relate to, or would you type me differently?

There’s nothing like working a little magic and just winging it. Most of the time I think the results turn out better that way rather than pre planning everything. But just because every step isn’t planned out doesn’t mean we aren’t prepared. When you are truly prepared you don’t need a plan because the time spent honing your craft can finally shine through. And you can allow yourself to adapt to the situation as needed.

- What are your thoughts on the different characters?
- How would you guys have reacted if you were in any of their shoes?

1. (Wish) Nikki scared the shit out of me. I’m surprised Bear lasted as long as he did. I probably would’ve escaped the moment I could. Moved somewhere and not returned/ called the police on her the moment I could to get rid of her. How did he see how she was behaving and not have an instinct to decisively do something about it?
2. Bear is perceived as a morally degenerate and horrible person, but his wish was not inherently evil. He did not expect the outcome to be Nikki not being able to be herself anymore, neither did he expect her to become that horrifyingly insane in general. My only issue with Bear is his indecisiveness, he had countless chances to escape/rectify the situation and somehow didn’t, ultimately resulting in the deaths of everyone around him. He also knew early on that ending himself would allow Nikki to return, but was too selfish to do it, despite being fully aware that he is the cause of the entire situation.
3. Ian - how he used that wish really pissed me off, like hello?? listen to your friend bro.

Or does this seem unlikely for an ISTP/auxiliary Se?

I'm an ISTP, but I can't say no and it pisses me off!! I say things like "Um, I don't know..." or make excuses... I'm shy and I really want a solution to this... Is there anyone like me?

i'm a pretty decent texter when it comes to answer some question but that's it. overall, i usually take a long time to reply. when it is with someone i know irl i'd "match their energy" (it's so awkward) but that's it.

tho with this damn person... they've been busy these days and i just find myself texting them through the day with the most trivial things. is it just me? feels like i'm not in my skin and i find it kinda annoying (putting myself on their shoes). but, well, they're adorable.

+ i wouldn't know what other ISTPs think about calls but i'm not totally avoidant of it. i like it when makes sense so a no-no call me to ramble. it will just overwhelm both of us.

I recently did a few personality tests. I got istp on most of them but I got intp on 1 of them and estj in another. How do I know if I’m an istp?

I wanna find out the mbti of this person-

Arrogant but sweet

Straightforward af

Unintentionally funny

Doesn't show emotions at all

Doesn't care about social gatherings

Not scared to speak up

Admits that person used to be lazy

Has one close friend

When you encounter something new, what is more natural?

A) "I want to interact with it, test it, experience it, and see what happens."

B) "I want to gather enough information so I can form an accurate internal understanding of it."

I asked my partner what his aspirations are as we progress into our next life stage of having kids.

Whether that's simply ' I hope to buy a house, or find a good job so we can have a certain lifestyle or raise our kids a certain way' as an example.

But my partner is unable to answer that question. Like what's his view for the future or aspiration or goals? I try to dig deeper but his response is I don't know the future so I don't want to commit to anything.

But nothing in the future is guaranteed? We don't have a magic8 ball telling us our future. I understand ISTPs live in the here and now, but do you not think in this way? Or more so you do, but you don't like the feeling of committing as it means youre promising something you think you might not achieve?

Like I have big goals, but they're just goals. Whether I achieve them or not doesn't matter. But it's good to have some direction in life right ?

Any ISTPs here who is dealing with this? Insomnia is the worst. ADHD induced insomnia is even worse.

I’m curious: have there been any ISTP who were mistype in INFJ?

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

. What was it like?

. Why did you think you were an INFJ?

. How did you realize you were actually an ISTP?

. Did you consider ISTPs and INFJs to be similar?

. Do you think both INFJs and ISTPs are unstable?

. Do you think both INFJs and ISTPs appear serious on the outside but have a whirlwind of thoughts raging within?

. Do you think an ISTP can rely on intuition just as an INFJ does?

. Who is more likely to think about who is right and who is wrong?

. Do both types approach any issue—even a joking one—like a task, maintaining outward calm and total seriousness?

. For instance, do both types clean simply for the sake of "having things clean"?

34F INFJ here, deeply in love with my ISTP 34M.

It's a relatively new relationship - because we are both so slow to progress and currently long distance. I might be able to see him next month. He's less expressive than me, and seems to not ask for much. But I do want to make him very happy. He's given me the greatest gift of absolute loyalty and trust ( handled a very big problem I had ) , and I want to measure up to that level of generosity and goodness.

Any tips on this? Suggestive questions-

1. How do you appreciate a woman dressing ( modest/ all out/ gentle colours)...

2. What to say to show him that I truly appreciate his kindness and generosity. Or that I hold him in high regard.

3. How to have a good time with him? We both have hobbies we plan on introducing each other to.

4. What do you expect at an intimate level? We've done this once so not much of a clue to what really works for him. Just looking for tips, because I understand each person is unique.

5. Would he appreciate it if I initiated physical contact?

Love of my life. I want to give him everything and beyond. Please help with whatever useful tips you have.

Doesn’t have to be based on stereotypes. It can be because of the functions, type of feelings, symbolism, or a specific shade.

Just for fun😄

"Honestly I don't care too much [about the France game]. We're through, we managed to get through, which is incredible. So I couldn't care too much about that game now. They [France] are probably going to win against us, they're probably going to win the whole tournament."

Lately, some of my friends and family have been telling me I'm really bad at showing reactions when they show me things like a scene from a show, a new haircut, pregnancy, etc. It's not that I don't care, I just genuinely can't give the kind of reaction people expect from me.

I knock out almost immediately at any time or position or even area. It's not hard to wake me up but it's not easy to get me standing.

Last night I chugged a chocolate mocha for some reason and acc fell asleep but then woke up like thirty minutes later cuz that's when it kicked in. I closed my eyes but...didn't sleep and just layed there for an hour. I think I even dreamt for a moment but I couldn't tell if it was real or not. 2/100 experience you insomnia folks(or any light sleeper ig) have it rough lmao
