Interesting facts about ISTPs

ISTPs are deeply focused on facts and logic, but they often start to consider other possibilities—especially as they grow older.

When they feel safe and secure, they tend to consider unique points of view and the possible results of each one. But when they’re under pressure, they’re likely to fall back on logic and eliminate other possibilities.
