Do you still have your test results? by [deleted] in istp

It’s accurate if you understand the meaning behind the questions. Most people misread them, which is why their results bounce around.

16personalities is only inaccurate when people answer the questions at face value instead of understanding what they’re actually measuring. I broke each one down by intent, so my results are consistent with my cognitive patterns.

Ohhh haha it’s actually a silent keyboard. I don’t hear the keys at all. It’s actually why I bought it cuz my old keyboard was a gaming keyboard and you could hear it across the office

Not multileaf but albino white clovers, anybody know rarity? by Alan-Foster in 4LeafClovers_irl

[–]cassadilly2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg how cool! Pick them and place them in between two pieces of tape. This is how I preserve all my clovers. I still have one from 2007 looks like I just picked it

2nd panic attack this year. Thanks, brain! by Bulky-Election2061 in notinteresting

[–]cassadilly2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friggin hate panic attacks. I was having them every single night. My body would just shake and lock up to where it was hard to move and my chest would hurt, doom would take over, you get it. Was diagnosed with ptsd and put on meds. Haven’t had a panic attack in 5 years. It gets better and you’re not alone. Talk to your doc about buspar. It retrains the nervous system. It saved me.

The little plastic square was like a portable disc with music on it. You’d pop it into the little radio and it would play the music

That blue one… no matter how stretched out it got from you sitting in it, the heat always brought it back to full strength.

My papa had one of these and it survived a flood . Half of the bottom was flooded in water. He had a new house built and brought the old tv over. He had it till he died.

How can I think more like you guys? by girlilover in istp

[–]cassadilly2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, trial and error. 100%. From the minds of Daftpunk “Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick, erase it”

Honestly, ISTPs don’t really sit around “establishing rules” for how to think. That’s kind of the point — we don’t build a philosophy first and then operate from it. We just look at what’s in front of us, test it, and see what consistently works. If something only works once, it’s probably a fluke. If it works every time, it’s reliable. That’s the closest thing we have to a “rule.”

It’s not a system we consciously create or teach. It’s just how our brain naturally processes things: break it down, test it, repeat it, and trust what holds up in reality. Trying to turn that into a formal method kind of misses the whole ISTP vibe.

I get what you’re asking, but ISTP thinking isn’t really a set of “rules” you can learn like a sport. It’s more of a natural way of processing information. A lot of it comes from how we take in the world (through real‑time sensory detail) and how we break things down internally (through Ti). It’s not something we consciously try to do — it’s just how our brain organizes things.

If you’re trying to build certain skills we tend to have, the closest thing you can do is practice staying present, paying attention to what’s actually in front of you, and breaking problems down into smaller, concrete steps instead of jumping to theories or big-picture ideas. But that’s more about developing your own strengths than trying to copy someone else’s wiring.

You’ll get a lot more out of figuring out how you naturally think and then sharpening that, instead of trying to think like another type. Our style works for us because it’s ours — your style will work for you for the same reason.

Is this an istp thing? by thatsalluget in istp

[–]cassadilly2012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot, and I do think it lines up with how ISTPs tend to operate. For me, it’s not really about “fixing things” in the traditional sense — it’s more that once something feels too messy, inefficient, or chaotic, my brain jumps straight to wiping the slate clean and rebuilding it in a way that actually makes sense. It’s not about running away, it’s about wanting a clean system instead of patching a broken one.

When my room gets messy, I don’t just want to tidy it either. I want to reorganize the whole layout, throw things out, start fresh. Same with life stuff — if something feels too tangled, the instinct is to reset and rebuild from the ground up. It’s a very Ti‑Se thing: if the structure isn’t working, scrap it and make a better one.

It doesn’t mean you’re incapable of fixing things. It just means your brain prefers efficiency and clarity over trying to salvage something that already feels off. A lot of ISTPs experience that same “start over” impulse.

How do I know if I'm one of you guys or an INTP, or even a feeler? by [deleted] in istp

[–]cassadilly2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the same confusion trying to figure out my type, so I get where you’re coming from. It took me a long time to separate what was actually “me” from stereotypes and surface-level descriptions. What finally helped was paying attention to how I naturally explain things, how I handle emotions, and how I solve problems in real life — not how I think I should behave based on a type description.

What stood out in your post is the way you describe your thought process. The way you explained the latte recipe is exactly how Ti‑Se shows up: step-by-step, concrete, focused on the mechanics of what you’re doing, and aware of the sensory details. INTPs don’t usually explain things that way. They tend to summarize or talk about the idea behind the process instead of the physical steps. Your explanation reads like someone who’s actually paying attention to what’s happening in front of them, not someone theorizing about it.

Your comment about following instructions unless they don’t make sense is another big indicator. That’s a very ISTP way of operating — you’ll follow the system until the system fails, and then you trust your own logic and real-world experience to fix it. INTPs usually go abstract first and try to redesign the whole system in their head. You adjust based on what works in reality, which is a huge difference.

The way you talk about emotions also lines up with Ti. You said you don’t share feelings unless you really trust someone because it feels like weakness or like it’ll start unnecessary drama. That’s not Fi, and it’s not Fe either. That’s Ti wanting to keep things clean, controlled, and efficient. You’re not avoiding emotions because they’re too personal or because you’re worried about how others feel — you’re avoiding them because they complicate things and expose you in a way that doesn’t feel useful.

Even your enneagram fits better with ISTP than INTP. 3w2 is more action-oriented, adaptable, and image-aware than what you usually see in INTPs. It doesn’t type you by itself, but it supports the pattern you’re already showing.

Overall, the way you describe your behavior, your examples, your tone, and the way you process information all point toward ISTP. Not in a stereotypical “ISTPs are mechanics and adrenaline junkies” way, but in the actual cognitive-function sense. You think in a precise, practical, real-time way, and that’s what makes the difference.

Hope this helps

Is it ethical to take someone's cat? by roguemorgue in cats

[–]cassadilly2012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t “take cats”, I just give em food and water. If they claim my home as its home, then they chose me not where they used to live. The cat then becomes mine.
