ISTPs are artists who strive to learn how the material world works. They are focused on practical problem solving and physical contact with the outside world. ISTPs use logical thinking and dive deep into the details. By working physically with their environment, they have a first-hand understanding of how things work and how best to achieve their goals. They are called Masters because they are good at their job and like to work with their hands. ISTPs value practical hobbies such as craft or wood processing, carpentry, architecture, and so on.
Masters easily perceive the details of the surrounding world and curiously collect facts, so that they build a logical chain of events in a particular situation. They react spontaneously to crisis moments and quickly determine the best way out of the circumstances, making decisions based on the facts.
ISTPs are independent and need a space that allows them to be free, creative, and practical. They always have their own opinion on a particular issue. They are alien to following the rules and regulations. At the same time, they easily violate the boundaries of other people's personal space and are genuinely surprised when they receive an unfriendly refusal, so it is useful for ISTPs to learn to read other people's emotions and be sensitive.
Masters prefer to do their own thing and act in the here and now. They are attracted to excitement, an active lifestyle, and extreme sports. Usually, Masters are fearless, full of a thirst for adventure and a desire to be constantly on the move. Therefore, getting into a routine situation, they begin to get bored.

People with the ISTP personality type can achieve a lot in areas related to mechanics and engineering. This potential is associated not so much with theoretical knowledge, but with their practical experience and observations. They have an intuitive understanding of how things work, and as a result, they are able to adjust non-working processes.

ISTPs are singles who do not like to be the center of attention and prefer to stay away from large crowds of people. They absolutely do not care what others think about them, and therefore they declare their desires and interests directly, sometimes in a rough form. Low emotionality does not allow Masters to understand the feelings and needs of people. And they themselves find it difficult to let others into their inner world. Masters like to do their hobbies alone. But if someone can genuinely share their passion and take part in a common project, ISTPs will be happy to welcome them into their social circle. For ISTPs to be successful, it is important to have strong, reliable, and deep relationships.
ISTP strengths:
Flexibility. Masters easily adapt to changes and feel good in conditions of uncertainty. In crisis situations, they have no equal.
Practicality. ISTPs are well versed in technology and mechanics. They love to work with their hands and are able to fix any breakdown.
Relaxation. ISTPs are optimistic, energetic people who lead an active and spontaneous lifestyle. They live in the moment and don't think too much about the future.
Efficiency. Masters are diligent and focused on completing the projects they are interested in. Logical thinking and the ability to dive deep into details give them an understanding of how things work and how best to achieve their goals.
Spontaneity and rationality. ISTPs combine spontaneity with logic in an amazing way, which allows them to switch quickly and makes them very flexible and diverse.
Independence. Masters prefer to work independently and freely. They are strained by rules and regulations.
Precise approach to the issue. ISTPs carefully gather information, examine and verify facts, and reach conclusions based on logical analysis and their own experience.
Activity. Masters prefer action — they do not like long conversations or indecisive people.
Flexibility. ISTPs start each day from scratch. They can easily change the field of activity and look for what they are more passionate about. This quality never lets them get bored and always keeps them motivated.

What will be useful for ISTP to learn:
The ability to express feelings. Masters are not able to understand the emotions of other people as well as their own. They find it difficult to open up and prefer to keep their thoughts and ideas to themselves, especially when it comes to private or sensitive matters.
Discretion. ISTPs attract risk and excitement as a way to fuel energy. Sometimes this leads to disastrous consequences and loss of control over the situation.
Fulfillment of obligations. Masters do not always execute their obligations, as they easily switch to more interesting activities for them.
Foresight. ISTPs focus on the current tasks, ignoring the long-term perspective. They don't know how to set long-term goals.
Self-organization. Masters need to work on improving their organizational and time management skills.
Discipline. ISTPs can't stay focused on something for long, as more interesting things are happening in their mind. Routine and repetitive activities make them bored.
Make plans for the future. Taking care of immediate matters is undoubtedly important, but you can achieve much more if you know the perspective of events.
Don't create conflicts. Masters sometimes create problems in a relationship on purpose in order to resolve them and then benefit from it for themselves. This approach can be destructive to the relationship and hurt people's feelings.
Respect the personal boundaries of others. ISTPs sometimes do not notice how they intrude where they have not been invited. They may also express their opinion, believing it to be the only correct one.
