Explorers ISTP

Bold and practical experimenters, masters of all kinds of tools.

'I journal. Only in times of severe depression though. I tend to want to - for some reason - write it out or something. It's usually a pretty psycho mishmash of how everything is worthless, but...

I'll just butt in and say that I actually enjoy some kinds of drugs as long as they boost me somehow (amphetamine and the likes) I enjoy being vaguely drunk (just enough to keep my self-control...

I don't need to LOVE what I do, but I do need to have fun, and feel proud. AND it also has to offer the schedule I want AND the money I want. Which has proven tricky...

I'm just going to stop posting myself, and let Northern Lights say stuff for me!

I more or less always speed (exception being around schools and crossings, too much of a risk that I'd kill someone, and while I love going fast, I'm not stupid) Never gotten a ticket though -...

I'd go with ISTP too - I can totally see the INTJ theory, but somehow I suspect an INTJ would sit around just being...well...'the boss' more, whereas an ISTP would be more likely to 'use' (for lack...

Hm. Working in tech-support (so not getting computers to work as such, but more a case of why isn't this working, fix it you cunt, or i will kill you you worthless whore!11!!elevn11one) for 16...

Vehicles of all kinds. It's non-computer, it's hands-on, and it's fascinating and fun - and the feeling of pride and ahaaa when you understand how they work is amazing. I mean, that said,...

I have no idea what Enneagram-thing I am, but I do use Facebook. I started back in 2007 when I moved from Sweden to France, partly to keep in touch with friends and family back at home without having...

How do you fit and differ from ISTP stereotypes? I fit in just about all the ways - except I'm fat (we're not supposed to be that) and family and life guided me towards more feminine education,...

Physical touch, by far. That's basically why my relationship ended; not enough touch, not enough sex.

Anything where you serve people. I did 16 years or something of customer support. Quit in June. Still unemployed (with literally zero income; I have a supportive family - though it makes me SICK to...

If you want companionship then your first statement that you wouldn't care about her rings false. Take a serious think about what it is you actually lack, and what you actually want...

I, also, am not a man - but, at around age 27, I decided to try actual relationships, instead of just FWB-setups. It largely didn't work out. I don't fear risking HURT or whatever it is people...

I would not wear the elephant - that is how I presume this game works; you comment on the item posted before you - yay or nay - and THEN post an item of your own, which the next person in line...

Sorry I fell off this thread - was a bit limited for access. So, current story is basically I will try to make my own business. I have given myself until the end of this year, and I have an idea...

Yeah, this is shitty, and I am sorry, but while I personally am so stuck in WTF-state I can't shake myself out, I know that we are natural problem solvers, and perhaps one of you can solve my...

I find that 'everyone' says ISTP are shallow. I'm the least shallow person I know, so you won't get ME by being hot at least. People who describe themselves as hot and nice are, in fact, a huge...

I seriously look at this image, then I look at myself, then I cry a bit, and haul ass off to the gym...

I keep wishing I could, I'd love to do that for a year or something at least, just to have experienced it, but I've managed to get Stuck in so much, like job, and rental contract where the others...

How do I even find this out? All the tests I find just suggests one (and I'm at work, so I can't really dedicate too much time to it right now, but of course still feel like I need to try now :p )

The more I see of your posts, I get the feeling you're probably someone I would enjoy to actually meet. At least in my mind you appear that way. We could get a log cabin in Alaska and hunt and shit. ...

Freedom - Independence - Privacy.

Large parts of this thread reeks some kind of special snowflake bullshit. I'm sorry (well, I'm not really) but it does, like I don't have nightmares because I think they're cool Then it's by...

Interestingly, I wonder what kind of men ISTP women are drawn to - I always seem to end up with NF's. If that's somehow just how it is; that a relationship needs balance, and so T's are attracted...

Or, you know - as the text said - about them not about you

Yeah, no attractive isn't a personality trait. That's just dumbasses who think that because someone is Beautiful, they also have to be Good. Leading to MANY broken hearts and pathetic...

Haha, this is funny because we just had a workshop at work a few days ago... I'm in customer support, and we were talking about approaches to get the best results and surveys and so on. Turns...

Might be :) For me, it's an in the present thing - but I can't say We may not be together in 15 years, so I won't give this experience my time either. Right now, our relationship is awesome -...

Oh no, it's very much a bond - we're even engaged at present, cause he felt like it (and admittedly, I quite like the idea, in some weird way...like, whatever happens, we had this Thing, and I will...

We've tried having that talk - we just basically keep ending up with well, we want to be together, though we do want terribly different things - but as long as neither of us is forced to make a...

It was really difficult the past 6 months actually - we lived in an expensive, moldy, one-room apartment, and it rained ALL the time (Ireland...sigh) so we were basically on top of each other all the...

Interesting. My BF of three years is an INFP, so let me think... I hated his guts the moment I saw him, basically - I thought he was ugly, and whiny. Which he was (at least whiny) but then,...

I never SEEK it - that seems like a waste of time; it'll show up when/if it does. Also, I'm not sure what it actually means - been with my partner now for almost 3 years and I STILL only want to...

If I'm in a monogamous relationship, then never-ever-ever. I value that trust, and I absolutely despise liars, and so I don't want to be a liar myself.

Yes. It was one of my party tricks when I was younger (around 20) not just their weak points and fears, but quite a large chunk of their personality, life, interests, family situation, so on - don't...

Never have, never will - though I do actually stay friends with most of them. I don't know, maybe because to me, most of the relationships have been basically an advanced form of FWB - no clue how...

I want a house. Ideally my brothers house, which is fucking perfect (HUGE, fire heated, middle of nowhere, barely even any neighbours...it's ABOVE the damn pole circle - I LOVE it) It's heaven on...

Oooh, this thread reminded me of something else I wanted to be for the past 9 years; perfumer. It's a 2K education just to find out if I have any talent at all though (and to learn the...

I sleep in t-shirt and pyjama trousers, unless there's sex involved. I don't like the idea of being naked if something happens. If the houses catches fire, or someone breaks in, I want to be...

Would 'Loss of control' be considered an ISTP panic trigger? Yes. I'd probably go so far as to say it's the main, or even ONLY, one.

Actually, it sort of was - it basically answered your questions. Just you wanted to be spoonfed more elaboration. If you bother reading, it actually says You are not a failure (addresses your...

Sounds about right - except possibly 5; I don't avoid them because it's too painful - I do so because once it's over, it's over, and my life goes on. Edit: Unless I see benefit in having them as...

Yeah, I do this. An ex once told me that when he was little, he asked his father why his father slept on the side of the bed open to the room, while his mother slept closest to the wall. His...

I wanted to be a rockstar, or a writer. I became customer support. Yes, I struggle with actual suicide thoughts at least bi-monthly.

That's just it though; I can't prove someone wrong. If - for example - the printer breaks down at work, sure I can fix it - if I have an hour, and peace and quiet. I could just take it apart, figure...

Thing is I logically know that, but I am somehow conditioned to back off and let the Men handle stuff - because they already know how to, and I don't - so it's turned into a vicious circle, too - I...

That actually sounds interesting - I've been considering stuff in the general region of that (waste truck driver, plumbing, garbage center, or water purification plant - english is not my first...

This is going to be VERY long... I'm sorry, first - I'm not sure how this at all relates to type, but I am hoping someone might be able to help me. First off, I am will always be the first to...

Are you one, or do you know one? I have plenty of questions - I know there are a lot of threads and posts on multiple forums, but it seems easier and less icky to ask specifically, rather than...'
