·         “Like their fellow SPs, ISTPs are fundamentally Performers (note the capital 'P' :-)), but as Ts their areas of interest tend to be mechanical rather than artistic like those of ISFPs, and unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity.” 
-I don’t think I’m artistic but I do prefer art over mechanics, so I disagree with the former part of that statement. I do agree with ISTPs not presenting an impression of constant activity. That is definitely me.

  “On the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they launch themselves at it. The apparently frenzied state that inevitably ensues is actually much more controlled than it appears--ISTPs always seem to know what they're doing when it comes to physical or mechanical obstacles--but the whole chain of events presents a confusing and paradoxical picture to an outsider.” 
-YES. This is insanely true. I have these outbursts and my family doesn’t understand what’s going on but I will always get a ton of stuff done in these situations.  

·          
“ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space, which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others.” 
-This is very true; more often than not, I just need space, but the way in which I try to let people know that I want space usually results in them getting upset with me.

·       
  “These territorial considerations are usually critical in relationships with ISTPs; communication also tends to be a key issue, since they generally express themselves non-verbally. When they do actually verbalize, ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.” 
-THIS IS SO TRUE. I don’t know how many times people have told me, “This isn’t the time for your sarcasm.” 

Overall, I think this thing was pretty accurate. I share a personality similar to that of Tom Cruise and Clint Eastwood.

P.S. I also had my dad take this, and he also got the ISTP result! His percentages were different than mine, and he was a lot less introverted than me, but I found it interesting we were the same.
