ISTP strengths

ISTPs tend to enjoy learning and perfecting a craft through their patient application of skills. They can remain calm while managing a crisis, quickly deciding what needs to be done to solve the problem.

Potential development areas for ISTPs

Typical ISTP characteristics

ISTPs are typically analytical, practical, realistic but also logical and adaptable.

Their most common characteristics are shown here in the form of a fun Typie, which you can download and share.

ISTP careers & career ideas
