 A True ISTP

• You're a realist who is acutely aware of your surroundings and applies expediency and reasoning as you manage and adapt to situations using existing resources.

• You have a lot of knowledge about how things function, yet you don't come across as smug or arrogant about it. You make sensible and private decisions, rarely stating all of what is on your mind.

• You dislike being tied down and operating under a structure or schedule - you prefer to work in an environment where you get to anticipate immediate practical demands and can act upon them.

• Though you often prefer to learn things on your own, you learn best when you can observe first-hand in a one-on-one situation.

• You tend to bypass rules, policies, and regulations when they get in the way of the results.

• You thrive on excitement and potentials, yet you lead through action and setting an example.

 Relationships

• Love? Responsive yet realistic, you only seek partners who you consider to be smart and observant, who'll participate in your hobbies or interests, or at very least give you the freedom to do them by yourself.

• Even though you cringe at the thought of a routine in most aspects of your life, you enjoy and create a routine of sorts in your relationships. You're attentive to the little things that your partner takes pleasure in because you'd rather show your feelings through actions than express them with words.  You like to give gifts or do tasks for your lover that he/she doesn't like to do for themselves; it's a tangible representation of your love.

• When scorned by a lover, you don't typically share it with the world.  You're usually not vindictive when the relationship is over (in most cases, you consider the possibility that it could have been you that spoiled it)...you don't give up easily on your relationships unless you're convinced by the evidence.

 Recommendations

• Don't keep important things to yourself; your partner wants to help you through your problems.

• Don't move on to new tasks before your other ones bear fruit.

• Learn that others' points of view may present possibilities that you haven't thought of.

• Mention the points that you agree with before bringing up the points that you disagree with.

• Realize that people do things differently than you, and there are many different ways of structuring life.

• Share your insights more - you're brilliant!
