Analyzer Operator: ISTP

How Others May See Them ISTP s are egalitarian and generally tolerant of a wide range of behaviors - until their ruling logical principles are attacked. At that point, they can surprise others by expressing their firm and clear judgments. ISTP s listen and seem to agree because they are not disagreeing; later others may find the ISTP was analyzing and making internal judgments.

Dealing with Change ISTP s are logical sovlers of practical problems. They are keen observers of their immediate enviroment and act quickly to deal with day-to-day needs. Change is generally comfortable for ISTP s because they are stimulated by things that need to be fixed. They have the ability to process large amounts of date in a logical way, to flexibly adapt to what is going on around them, and to act decisively. More difficult for them is seeing long-range issues and developing plans to achieve long-term goals because their orientation is to the present and the immediate.
