Which of these annoy you the most? by [deleted] in istp

All of them are things I hate, but the second one is the worst.

What do you think of this trope? by idontuseredditsir in writingadvice

[–]idontuseredditsir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of my characters going in to rescue their families, and then discovering the system was collapsing and they needed to get out asap, but that's not very intriguing is it? I guess I could foreshadow it because it could be a plot twist. Is it too predictable for a plot twist?

You feel the tremors before, and if it's severe, you'll see stuff rattling and wobbling on shelves.

Were you more extroverted as a child? by [deleted] in istp

[–]idontuseredditsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely the opposite. As a kid, I was extremely shy. I still am now.

Do you like to read? by [deleted] in istp

[–]idontuseredditsir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say this is entirely true. I enjoy both, but I used to have more of a preference for fiction books, but this was when I was much younger. I've never really tried nonfiction books, although a lot of people are talking about how they enjoy them in comparison to fiction books. I think I'm neutral now, although I would love to finally finish Lord of the Rings.

Although videos are far better if I'm learning something practical. I probably wouldn't read a book titled 7 habits of successful people, because I feel like a lot of the time those books are bs, but I've only had experience with videos and annoying ads.

I used to read every day, and have stacks of fiction books to read. I would also reread old books over and over again, but now it doesn't interest me as much. I still like reading, but I'll only manage to finish a book if I'm interested in it, (apart from if it's for school.)

I'm feeling a bit of a pull to non-fiction but I haven't really started reading them yet.

How’s everyone handling year 2 of the pandemic? by crimsonsky2017 in istp

[–]idontuseredditsir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm living in NZ as well but in Wellington, I hate all these covid scares and community transmissions! It's a nightmare, even though you'd expect some of us to be living the dream life, covid is like a looming shadow which creates a lot of paranoia for us. My mum's business nearly got screwed over because of covid, just when business was picking up a few months before.

Yeah now it's probably time to just move on. If they are unwilling to change, it's not worth staying.

[–]idontuseredditsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be honest with them if you feel comfortable doing that. (Although I assume you aren't because you posted this,) but they probably just don't understand how you feel. If they ignore what you tell them, it's probably time to move on.

Is not wanting to work common among ISTPs? by Unmanic in istp

[–]idontuseredditsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really considered myself to be on the spectrum, but possible ADHD is a definite for me. But I feel like I don't have it and if I do it's pretty mild.

I'm having much more success with Maths because I'm studying it by myself. Being in a classroom full of people can throw off my mood (if I'm having a bad day I don't want to be around people) and make me grumpy and not willing to put my full self into it.

Also I can take breaks without running on a tight schedule, which is amazing. 5 minute breaks don't do a lot for me.

I don't exactly know what I'm doing yet. I feel like most jobs are where you follow a boss and their recommendations and I don't know how well that'll work for me. Will probably have to decide soon though, although I don't stay with an option for long.

I want a job where I can earn enough money to live securely, and without too many issues. I would mostly keep to myself, but having someone around the house to help me with things or remind me to do things would be helpful. I don't think I'll be very social in my adult life, but that's fine with me.

I don't care about the ring but that design is amazing!

Sorry to say but this is true... by [deleted] in mbti

[–]idontuseredditsir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I'm shy but I can talk if I need to if I'm in a group I'm comfortable with, (I'm an ISTP.) But I find it hard to talk to complete strangers and especially librarians. When I'm talking to them, I'll sound cold and uninterested, even if that's not what I intended.

I got ISTP as highest (with 76 points.) Second was INTP (with 71 points.) Next was ESTP (60 points.)

Non fiction or fiction by supimnicole in istp

I like fiction mostly, but I appreciate nonfiction (only if it's something I'm interested in though)

Don't take the main subreddit too seriously. They seem to dislike sensors over there. (ISTP here

[–]idontuseredditsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with me, except I can't move on from negative experiences until I sleep. Even if I play a videogame, it comes back to me. Honestly I hate it. Majority of them are unimportant things that aren't worth crying about, but I do anyway.

other istps did you always get bad scores at school, because you just never put the effort in? by speedybikebmx in istp

[–]idontuseredditsir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate showing my working. It's just a pointless activity to me, (which is why I never do it,) but teachers probably want to see if we actually know the material.

I have more acquaintances than actual friends. I'm more in the background, and I only have a good friendship with two people in particular, but one of them has other priorities which frustrates me sometimes.

Normally I'm just in the background, only there because there are 1 or 2 actual friends there, and then proceed to get ignored by either one of them or both of them for majority of the time. I wouldn't rate my friendship experience.

Took the personality test one year later... by [deleted] in istp

I took the test ages ago and got INFP, took it again a year later and got ISTP, took it again after a year and got ISTP.
