I know this is an old thread so I’m probably speaking into the void … but I came to read the comments after feeling a bit confused listening to Klaus describe his ISTP experience.
(For context, as a female I always mistyped myself as an ISFP until I learnt about cognitive functions and realised I wasn’t spending any time in Fi! And that I loved accuracy and frequently got in trouble for it! So here I am, getting to know ISTP.)
Here are a few differences that surprised me/confused me.
- unlike Klaus, I don’t spend any time imagining the future or in imaginary relationships and never have. My ideas of the future are very vague. Future thinking is a huge effort.
- I don’t have to try to be aware of information coming in through my senses, don’t usually have to remind myself to be in the present moment – that’s my default (unless I’ve been derailed by doom scrolling or Netflix) …
- haven’t had any training in machines and don’t find them interesting (except the human body and mind), but when I put my mind to these things they do come naturally. I’m often good with tools I’ve never used, and enjoy putting together puzzles and IKEA furniture lol. Also I’ll win or do well in random games at parties where I get to use my senses + accuracy. I’ve figured it out in a second or two.
- I don’t like travel nearly as much as Klaus, it’s exhausting – unless I’m doing something quiet and in my body, like snorkelling, hiking, dancing, cooking for my friends in a beach house, learning something. Don’t like watching sports either.
- I expected Klaus to talk about the physical things he might have a knack for with his hands or body but he really didn’t talk about that.
- I’m not really ever thinking about or commenting on society and all my conversations are grounded in some kind of here and now.
So now I’m confused … or Klaus is…
Not trying to be controversial here… just reporting my observation and you guys made me feel like maybe that’s ok!
PS I absolutely love all the podcasts and Antonia and Joel would be my ultimate dinner party guests.
I’m another ISTP mistyped as an INTJ. I could relate to several things on the episode.
One thing is that, I find conflict difficult as well. I’ve looked into enneagram as well and my current guess there is type 9 which is said to be a body-type that isn’t very well in touch with the body. This seems to be in accordance with the suggestion of developing one’s SE.
All types have all 8 functions. It’s more a question of which ones you have more mastery of. I definitely relate to the experience of getting stressed out to get the job done – except once. This one time was an event that I strongly believed in, right down to my soul and I actually volunteered to run it. That was the one time I had no trouble at all of getting into action, supervising people, getting in front of an audience, dealing with several major problems. It was a beautiful example of my inferior Te serving my dominant Fi.
In terms of using Ni to plan for the future I certainly do that – but I’m not good at it! I’m not good at accurately forecasting what’s coming in the future. So I usually just make general plans so that I have something to work towards but along the way I may change course if life takes me there. I am much better at Ne. Whereas my mom who is an ENTJ is really good at Ni. She can accurately predict things 10 years down the line and I have personally seen her be absolutely spot on.
None of your comments are awaiting moderation. My pattern recognition tells me that you copy/pasted a comment when it was awaiting approval and so you’re seeing “Your comment is awaiting moderation” because it was part of your copy/paste.
I have an ethic around not deleting people’s comments unless I perceive them as malicious.
A
I saw them, then I didn’t see them anymore. My main comment is still “awaiting moderation”. Given that I know how you especially dislike people in the type community telling others that they’re mistyped, the intuitive leap is not a hard one to make.
If somebody’s running around wrongfully thinking their type is one, when it’s really another, it doesn’t help anybody. These people come across as fake and tryhard and their development is lead into the wrong direction.
