About the ISTP (The Virtuoso) Personality Type
ISTP — the Virtuoso — is the personality of the calm, hands-on problem solver. Roughly 5-6% of the population, ISTPs lead with introverted thinking and back it with extraverted sensing: they figure out how things work by taking them apart. Famous ISTPs include Clint Eastwood, Bruce Lee, Steve Jobs (alternative typing), and characters like James Bond, Indiana Jones, Arya Stark, and Wolverine. The ISTP signature is unflappable performance in physical or mechanical pressure.
