ISTPs tend to:

  • be adventurous in their choices of sports & hobbies
  • observe life coolly, privately
  • react spontaneously to present-day situations
  • be generous to their partner and children
  • have lots of activities going on, some may involve risk
  • dislike being bound by a partner’s emotional responses
  • evade answering questions by asking more questions
  • keep their decision-making process entirely internal, so they don’t feel much need to share their opinions with others
  • strongly dislike routine and strict schedules, and resist being controlled by others
  • fiercely independent and need their own space within a relationship

ISTPs value in their partners:

  • flexibility
  • control over their emotional expression
  • love adventure
  • self-sufficiency
  • appreciation for who they are
