| I have the feeling that the choice of faithfulness doesn't come easily for ISTp in relationships especially if they're in a position where they meet a lot of women. Am I wrong ISTps?? Do you or would you cheat in a relationship?? -- eNfp |

| A1 Ooooo ENFP, We ISTps surrender ourselves very cautiously, but once committed, there is no waivering. Sure we have our breakups, but not just for a better offer or short-term gain. If we break up it is because we genuinely can't make the relationship work, at least not in our own short-sighted minds. We may be wrong, but not for the wrong reasons. -- Anonymous |

| A3 I'm sure becoming faithful to anyone would need some thought, a text book ISTP would be -loyal- in a relationship and being a sensing type I’m sure he/she would know what that means. As for the setting effecting ones judgment that depends on the person. Cheating is no for me for it goes agents my values. -- ISTP Here and There |
| A4 I can see why you say that. In my personal experience, when I'm looking to 'settle down' and there are many female candidates, the most difficult thing is choosing which one I want to settle down with. I mean, you meet a lot of nice people and they're all interested, its really hard to figure out which girl is the right one. And that can be determined by a plethora of factors. Like A1 said, once a decision is made, I surrender myself oh so cautiously. I guess cause I want to be sure and I want it to work; I don't give out love to just anyone no matter how hot you are. I sort of act (stereotypically) like a girl in that sense, sort of like making the girl 'earn' it. If an ISTp chooses you, you should feel pretty lucky, because it means they trust you.. and people they trust are few and far between. -- just some random ISTp |
| A5 The reason I'm saying this is because ISTp seem to be thrill-seekers type and they also live very much in the moment. Even if they don't intentionally want to hurt people, they don't possess the Judgment factor like ISTj that makes very committed. ISTp tend to seize the moment and live one day at a time, they are independent and fear control. The idea of committing to one person for life seems to be perceived by them as a form of control even if they aspire to be in a long-term relationship. I think it would take a very eveolved ISTp to make this commitment fully. I think that cheating is not something that bother ISTp's conscience too much, for them sex and love is different... -- eNfp |
| A6 Yeah, I cheat all the time. Hard to control these urges, you know? Honestly though, there isn't much to say about this. Only 16 types, right? It isn't logical or fair to pigeonhole whole types of people this way... There are good and bad within each, and individual traits such as loyalty, morality, and intelligence vary from person to person, separate from type. Personally, I'm slow to commit because I'm not always completely sure of my feelings, as well as the other person's feelings, and because it's hard for me to open up emotionally. -- ISTp |
| A7 A6 is right... you can't really determine the morals of a person based on type. eNfp, much as we might like to look at things holistically, we can't really do that in this regard... I guess if you think about the whole Nature vs. Nurture thing, type is Nature, and morals are somewhat nature-in that the whole human race seems to have at least some sort of moral code-but a lot of it is nurture. How someone is raised, what values are instilled in them when they are young, peer contributions, what country you're raised in that has varying values from another country... all of that. -- ENFp |
| A8 As an ISTP i do look at intimacy as very important but sex and love are two different things, however i myself dont want to have meaningless sex, and for me its the idea of"finding the one. If im not certain or have done enough thinking or experimenting to figure this out i wont initiate, and i already lack initiative since im an introvert. True ISTPs will not go into something if it doesnt produce something good, and we wont go for something that is simply there, and do things for the sake of doing them. As an ISTP i hate when people attempt to control me, but i hate the notion of some ISTPs cheating because they dont want to be bound. For me a relationship that goes all the way is like an extremely long project that doesn't end till one of us dies, and even then, i wouldn't try to replicate the project after that. -- Young but very mature ISTP |
