Where's Functianalyst when I need him?
Okay, found my notes. Both types use Se and Ti as their dominant and auxiliary functions, but flip flopped. It's hard at first to see the differences. A fresh way to look at them is the Interaction styles. Unfortunately, the website is not safe (malware), but I did jot some notes down about them.
ESTP and ISTP do
not share an Interaction style.
ESTPs use the In-Charge interaction style. In-Charge have the following characteristics, and I quote:
- Getting things accomplished through people
- Focused on results, often thinking quickly
- Driving energy with an intention to lead a group to a goal
- Make decisions quickly
- Hate wasting time and having to back track
- Notice right away what's not working in a situation, painfully aware of what needs to be fixed, healed or corrected
- Mentoring (NF), Executing actions (SP), supervising (SJ), or strategizing/mobilizing (NT)
ESTPs share this style with ESTJs, ENFJs, and ENTJs.
ISTPs use the Chart-the-Course interactions style. These are Chart-the-Course characteristics...quote:
- Course of action to follow
- Prefer to enter a situation having an idea of what is to happen
- Identify process to accomplish goal
- Have somewhat contained tension as they work to create and monitor a plan
- Aim is not the plan itself, but to use it as a guide to move things toward a goal
- Decisions based on: analyzing (SP), outlining (SJ), conceptualizing (NT), foreseeing (NF)
ISTPs share this style with ISTJs, INTJs, and INFJs.
What do you identify with more here?
