ISTP - The Craftsman

ISTPs, also known as Sensory Logical Integrators (SLIs), are grounded, independent individuals who value peace, efficiency, and mastery of craft. They lead with their Senses and support it with Pragmatism, making them deeply attuned to quality, detail, and functionality. Preferring calm, unbroken routines, and working largely with their own hands, they work steadily to refine systems and processes, often without drawing attention to themselves.


ISTP is defined by the following dichotomies:

  1. Energiser vs Integrator
  2. Sensory vs Intuitive
  3. Logical vs Ethical
  4. Rational vs Irrational
  5. Reductionist vs Holist
  6. Identifier vs Transformer
  7. Accepter vs Rejecter
  8. Clarifier vs Integrifier
  9. Determined vs Exacting
  10. Contrarian vs Obstinate
  11. Affirmer vs Denier
  12. Space-Locked vs Time-locked
  13. Sight-Locked vs Speech-Locked
  14. Thetic vs Antithetic
  15. Clockwise vs Anticlockwise
