I was reading this article: The Form of the Inferior Function. It was about the ESTP's and ESFP's when they're in the 'grip'.

So, I wanted to ask if anyone had any articles or personal experiences of ISTP in the 'grip'. What is it like? And so on and so forth.

When I'm really stressed out my usual politeness gives way and I become irritable and easily angered. Any filter I might have had over my words gets thrown to the wayside and I bluntly speak my mind. The more stressed I am, the stronger this reaction.

There's a similar article regarding ITPs here: http://personalitycafe.com/myers-briggs-forum/19840-form-inferior-itp.html
I don't really understand what they are saying.

When I get really stressed I don't think straight. My brain gets filled with the noise of confusion and disorder. I feel like doing something dramatic to bring everything under control again.

The other day when my grandfather died I was completely scattered all over the place. I wasn't too sad but my mind was in a million places. I spit in the sink, turned on the faucet, then walked into the shower. When I came out of the shower I left the stop down in the sink, and it overflowed into the hallway. Things like this usually don't happen when I'm in a good mood. I'll also only do half of the tasks and my Se goes out of control and I just start becomming extremely impulsive to the point where nothing gets done, everything gets forgotten, and if someone talks to me I either don't realize it or I lose all remaining emotion in my voice and end up pissing people off, which they only get angry at me and treat me even worse.
