ISTP personality type

ISTP

ISTPs are action-oriented, crave exciting new experiences, and take on risks. They are considered fearless by many of their friends, however they don't allow other people's opinions affect them. ISTPs enjoy sports and participate in activities such as auto repair, model aeroplanes construction and cooking. They are "hands-on" types who enjoy learning through experience. ISTPs learn on the go, building muscle memory and becoming fully in tune with their senses. ISTPs thrive on new experiences and explore ideas first-hand via trial and error. They love challenges even though some tasks might not gather approval from others. Predicting an ISTP's personality can be challenging at times; they don't abide by timelines, and make more commitments than they can keep. ISTPs are friendly but private and share strong friendships with those with whom they share similar values.
