I think this guy who was planning on bombing my college a few years ago was istp.
Also ex-boyfriend istp thought school killings were humorus. He was obsessed with weapons and sniper stuff, and would talk about bombing our school (wasn't seriously going to do it, but he would talk about it). This freaked me out.

The Virginia Tech guy? No way. Personally I couldn't picture an ISTP caring enough to do such a thing.
sorry but i think steve beat you to it. he claimed they were all ENTp here.
i think i have more of a jessica impression. judging by the few ISTps i've known, i can't imagine an ISTp really caring this much to put forth an orchestrated crazy effort like these guys. although these threads always come up where people go on about ISTps smashing out their ex-lovers car windows, becoming patrick bateman/american psycho types, etc. i think the point i'm trying to make is that a lot of people can do horrible things. to label one type as "most likely to plan a school shooting" is just not really, eh, whatever.

Yeah, I actually think VT guy was ENTP. Maybe ISTP would plan it or talk about it, but not follow through? ENTP more likely to follow through?Originally Posted by jessica129

I think it's all about follow through.
I feel like off-ing people everyday but meh, too much work.
I've read the zip file from the finnish school shooter, which he made himself, he has the same ideas and motives as eric harris (columbine shooter).
They both have clear anti social personality disorder (talking about being evolved further then the rest of mankind / having selfawareness, they also like the process of natural selection) Eric Harris was evaluated as antisocial by the FBI.
Eric Harris is probably an ISTP, but the finnish guy is more philosophical. Maybe INTP.
Virginia Tech was probably ISTP too.
Yep.Originally Posted by jessica129
I find it hilarious people would actually think the VTech guy was an ISTp. I mean, did you SEE the videos? The guy's rattling off about philosophy, religion, how much scum man was. Real ISTp's wouldn't give a fuck. Just cuz he went off capping people in the face doesn't mean anything about his personality type.
.
I can't speak for others, but generally i'm very apathetic when it comes to politics. Same office, new monkey suit for me.
And I DO care about philosophy and religion, I just don't care about endlessly discussing aspects of it, like some of the philosophy and theology majors at my college.
Seriously, once talk turns to one of those topics for too long I can hear a hamster in my head spinning a wheel. It's utterly dull.
I couldn't care less about those things. Talk about them and I tune you out.Originally Posted by Diana
Wow, never knew that about ISTps in regards to not really liking the hash & re-hash of topics that I really like to ramble on about I think ISTps are really misrepresented, eh. It's kinda funny how the real ISTps here keep saying that they wouldn't even give a fuck cause it would be too much work ... lmao. I never knew you guys thought that way ... are you more into just going with the flow, keeping the peace sort of thing? Is this dominant related, this "too much work, eh whatever" type of thinking?
And yeah, good & bad people of ALL types.
yeah, im really focused on energy efficiency. and going with the flow is just something i do i guess, i don't really know any other way unless im in a situation i dont like.Originally Posted by ScarlettLux
And it seems EVERYONE here loves to keep rehashing for pages on end.
Definetly go-with-the-flow. I have a verrrry quick temper but it lasts as quickly as it came as I generally don't care to let things bother me too long. I could never picture myself locked in my room planning how I'm going to shoot people up. Hell no, who cares...move on.
I don't know how on earth these "school shooters" got typed ISTP. They seem just about the complete opposite in my opinion.

Thanks for the tunes Winterpark
I know a couple of ISTPs who always seem on the verge of suicide and they might take out some bystanders if it seemed appropriate but for the most part they just do their own thing and feel sorry for themselves even while pushing away people who could potentially care about them.
The only things I can think of that would start and ISTP on a killing rampage is 1) they are a psychopath that has a death wish and sees it as a challenge or 2) they are a psychopath that wants to get even with someone (or some system/entity) that did them wrong. Even in that case it would seem likely they would go for the responsible parties, the decision makers instead of the peons. But then at that point who knows. Everyone may seem responsible.

Sounds pretty depressed to me. Yikes.
So are you saying that if I wanted to get even with someone that has done me wrong then I am a psychopath?Originally Posted by Topaz

Cause I think it's normal to seek revenge? And if someone does something wrong and hurtful to me and/or my family you can be sure I will not hesitate to strike back accordingly, no matter what the consequences. Now you might think otherwise, of course.Originally Posted by Topaz

I used to want to get revenge on anyone who messed with me but in the end I decided it was counterproductive. I will protect myself and my family but I dont even know if its really possible to get even without damaging myself or another innocent in the process.
Ive been so serious lately. Sorry if I come off like a moralizing prick. I dont know whats happen to my happy-go-lucky spirit.
I now return you to your featured presentation :wink:

ISTps can be very emotional. Once they bottle up negative emotions, it must come out in some way eventually. I think that it's hard for them to let go of some feelings, and I even feel like I'm spooning out stuff from them since that's the only they'll express them. I guess ENFps have a way of helping them in this regard... All the unresolved negative feelings might cause ISTps to go crazy, but the whole planning and stuff just isn't like the ones I know.
IMO: I think that everyone should get their just desserts, but it doesn't have to be in the same way that it was dealt to you. I think it's terrible how some families keep vendetas, especially in this country I don't remember where some members of the family (like kids) don't even leave the house out of fear of being killed by the other family. In "normal" countries high levels of wrong are solved by the law, but the smaller ones are tricky. I try not to hold feelings of hatred toward people who have wronged me, for some reason I don't really know yetWinterpark Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 7:53 pm Post subject:
