Okay, I'm not one, but I'm married to one and I find them intriguing and am curious what kind of lists you all would come up with and how much it would match him and the (few) other ISTPs I know.
Eye contact is too much work. I've given up, unless talking to women, then I want to look at them (provided their facial structure is moderately symmetrical). I'll stare off into space while they talk to me, unless they're the ones looking away. Peaple suck.is this just me or any other istps? i never look ppl in the eye when speaking to them. a quick glance but then im off looking at other shit. ppl often interpret this as a sign of 'weakness' but we're using our ears, i dont need to be looking at you. id much rather look at things around me than people (i dont like people)

I forgot that one. :tongue:You know you're an ISTP when you say "I don't care" more times before 7AM than most people do all day.
(why is that?)
That's your ENTJ altar ego.:wink:Re: eye contact... what's the big deal with eye contact? Obviously you look someone in the eye if you're talking to them face-to-face. Wouldn't you come across as a total pussy if you didn't? One must establish dominance.
Confuggled by the fact that people dont know when you're coming up behind them (i tend to walk a lot faster than everybody so always coming up behind ppl and they dont bother to get out of the way and ofen times they slow down or stop to look at something. im always aware of when somebodys near me, as im always turnin head to look around at things anyways i pretty much always know if somebody is behind me.)
Can I third this? I'm a big guy and whenever I'm shopping, little old ladies always turn their heads to side to read the labels on, hell, prunes or something, and they ALWAYS walk into me. Then they look at me like I'm some freak. Sensory awareness, please? :dry:Oh my GOD, I KNOW. Uggggh it drives me crazy. It gets really bad in stores... people have no clue about their surroundings sometimes.
Most everything on here is true except for the whole eye contact thing. For me it varies, when I'm telling a story I usually gaze off and don't necessarily make eye contact but I do try and look at the person. When I'm listening to the person talk I either look them in the eyes or look at a distinguishing feature on their face. Women say that I have 'those eyes' whatever that means, maybe its just the baby blues that 'pierce your soul'.
Oh, I see what you mean. You're looking for the most energy-saving solution, rather than the most time-saving solution. Yeah I do that too, all the time. It's all about mechanical advantage, i.e. who cares if it takes longer... it's less effort.i would rather spend 20 minutes on combining a huge pile of garbage together so it can all fit into my hands than going to the trash can 3 times and taking smaller pieces![]()
