Understand the ISTP personality type. ISTP stands for Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Perception

I – Introversion rather than Extraversion:

ISTPs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extroverts gain energy).

S – Sensing rather than Intuition:

ISTPs tend to be more practical than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities. This makes them very good at handling crises.

T – Thinking rather than Feeling:

ISTPs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference or sentiment. When making decisions they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.

P – Perception rather than Judgment:

ISTPs tend to approach life in a less structured way, keeping options open and flexibly changing.
