The sixteen types

The Craftsman

ISTP

You understand things by taking them apart. You are calm in a crisis, good with your hands, and dislike being closely managed.

Where you are strong

  • Outstanding troubleshooter
  • Calm under pressure
  • Learns by doing very fast
  • Practical, with no performance

Worth watching

  • Shares little of what you feel
  • Tires of long commitments
  • Overlooks long-term consequences
  • Chafes at rules with no reason behind them

With other people

You show care by fixing what is broken. Your partner may also need the words — try them.

At work

Engineering, mechanics, technology, emergency services, sport, security, skilled trades.

Where to grow

Say one thing you are feeling, once a week. You do not have to be good at it, only to do it.

And you?
