How to judge ISTP (craftsman) and ESTP (chameleon)

Similarity confusion

The similarity between them is that they have the same personality mask, that is, the types and attitudes of the four consciousness functions of 1-4 are the same, but the order is different.

Among them, the first and second functions, that is, the core of personality mask, are Se and Ti; The three or four functions, that is, the auxiliary or short board of personality mask, are Fe and Ni. Therefore, the more fully developed the personality, the easier it is for istp or estp to confuse itself with estp or istp.

For a specific similarity performance:

Their way of thinking tends to adopt Ti logical thinking, so they are cunning, selfish and seldom emotional. At the same time, they tend to ignore Fe ethics, which shows that they pay little attention to the evaluation of others, have low demand for community ties (unsociable, and their job satisfaction does not come from a sense of belonging), and pay little attention to the emotional needs of others. Therefore, when they begin to pay attention to other people's emotional needs, it means that they are likely to use other people's emotions as bait, or protect themselves from accusations, or gain sympathy to meet their own intentions.

At the same time, both of them rely on Se vision, which is the fundamental source of their "realistic" temperament type or temperament.

Se vision makes them mainly pay attention to and only tend to trust the specific interests at this moment and in front of them; At the same time, it also means that the shortcomings of Ni-the future is unsafe and unreliable for them, and the dark side of Si-used to be all kinds of rules that bound them to get the maximum benefit in front of them. Unless they can satisfy their realism, in the process of keeping pace with the times they believe in, Si is easily ignored instinctively.

Functional differences (personality portraits)

Ti is the inner king of istp, and it is the "self or self-hero" area where istp maximizes professional satisfaction. For estp, Ti is only the first function, that is, the king of Se or the smoothest means for Se to interact and socialize with people. Similarly, Se is just the hands for istp to interact with the outside world, but it is their core belief for estp.

Therefore, the core area of their personality mask, that is, the core difference between the two functional personality portraits, can be understood as:

2. 1, titanium selenium

That is to say, istp uses a concrete, practical and perceptual process or technology to express the logic analysis ability of King Ti, or istp especially likes and habitually uses Se process to meet the logic analysis needs of hero Ti-SE process can fully express Ti's talent and get the greatest satisfaction.

Therefore, istp personality portraits are described as craftsmen, expressing their core personal characteristics of being unsociable, unsociable and expressionless, and devoting themselves to a certain craft over and over again.

Of course, not every istp has exquisite craftsmanship in a certain field, but this means that the professional role of "craftsman" can give them the greatest professional satisfaction: investing time and energy in a certain craft (se) makes every movement and every link rigorous and flawless (Ti).

2.2, selenium titanium

Estp, on the other hand, tactfully meets the realistic needs of Jingse with Ti thinking.

That is to say, in order to meet their own needs (Se) to the greatest extent, they use Ti to do exactly what can maximize their own interests. They strictly and logically only say or only show the words, expressions, tones and ways that can maximize their own needs.

Estp is like a complete program, accurately playing any role that can best meet the immediate interests; This is the fundamental reason why they are sketched as chameleon personality portraits.

As you can see, the core difference between the two functions lies in:

Estp is more expressive and appealing, and at the same time, it is satisfied with all kinds of party activities (different types of social circles), and it is easy to change colors in various occasions to become a compelling role in line with the current atmosphere. Including one-on-one communication, effortlessly modifying the script at any time according to the other party's state and needs, and easily controlling various roles that can gain the other party's favor until the other party completely enters its own "trap."

All the actions of estp are aimed at realizing and satisfying the fundamental needs of Se: maximizing interests, entertainment, excitement, concentration and so on at this moment.

Istp, on the other hand, is usually not interested in being the focus and participating in various social activities, and even has no intention to show or show itself when attending awards and delivering acceptance speeches. Their greatest passion lies in endlessly injecting logical analysis into their hobbies, constantly practicing, constantly revising, optimizing and perfecting their real-time skills, and enjoying it, even forgetting to eat and sleep.

Three or four functional differences

For istp, Ni is a fluctuating and unstable function. For estp, it is the inferior function that they are eager to improve, but they feel inferior for it and think it is their core weakness. Similarly, Fe is the subordinate function of istp, others know and evaluate it as unsociable and taciturn, but it is an unstable and immature sub-function for estp.

3. 1, Ni-Fe

Istp can be understood as they are more adventurous than estp.

Although everyone believes in realism-believing in stable jobs or projects with stable income, istp will actively pay attention to and look for more potential jobs or projects in the future. Therefore, compared with estp, estp is more willing to give up the immediate temporary stability for the long-term development opportunity or beautiful vision in the future, or ESTP is more anxious and uneasy about losing the immediate stability, so it prefers short, flat and fast project types and frequently changes jobs or projects.

At the same time, it also shows that istp can actively dabble in the disciplines and contents of abstraction and concepts, as well as abstract concepts and viewpoints in dialogue. Istp will show more curiosity, greater patience and keen understanding, and also show that they hope to have a deeper dialogue and look forward to digging deeper things. Estp, on the other hand, tends to lose interest and patience, tends to only want conclusions and results, has no interest in specific theoretical basis, and appears absent-minded and impatient.

Therefore, istp can't live in the present, experience life and enjoy life completely like estp. Because although it is difficult to quantify, it is always difficult for istp to let go of its concern and thinking about the future.

3.2, iron-nickel alloy

Estp can be understood as that they pay more attention to the harmony of interpersonal relationships and are more sensitive to the emotional needs of others than istp; In addition, I pay more attention to community connection than istp, observe the interpersonal atmosphere in front of me more keenly, and take the script as the direction and content of my own color change.

With the cooperation of Ti-Fe, the talent of Se chameleon can show the ability to convince others with reason and emotion, while istp is usually not interested in social work, influencing others and interpersonal coordination activities.
