What's an ISTP 6w5 like? Can the 6 focus on security make they present like ISTJs?

Not really.

Being a 6 just makes a type more cautious within their own functional stack, which means Se is still present-oriented, not past-based like Si; Ti is still internal subjective logic and analysis rather than facts and application like Te; low Fe is still "what's best for everyone" vs the "what I am feeling right now" low Fi; tert-Ni is still "one way forward" vs. the "anything could happen, so I won't predict it" inferior Ne.

ISTP 6 - generally cautious, suspicious, detached, analytical, but still self-confident in Se ways, wants what's best for everyone in a general sense with low Fe, probably aware of disappointing others with their lack of emotional intensity but unsure of what to do about it.

How to tell apart ISFP from ISTP?

ISFP = intense emotions that shade every decision made, every interaction they've ever had, strongly have "values" and things they will not compromise on that are "me" based, super sensitive.

ISTP = logical detachment, analytical, looks at life as a complex puzzle to figure out, good with figuring out how things work and hacking them to work better, doesn't take much personally.

TiSe vs ISTP

In this article, I will analyze each CT type against its MBTI counterpart. To do that, I devised the following system:

I went through the CT database, checking each person’s PDB profile. If the profile had 100 or more MBTI votes, both the person and the majority vote type were registered. This is to avoid profiles with too few MBTI votes skewing the data. If any of the alternative types received 50% or more of the votes the majority-voted type received, it was also registered. This is to account for people with ambiguous typings.

In this article, we will go over TiSe individuals, i.e., people with a vultology that is Reactive, Rigid, Measured, and Grounded. The MBTI equivalent would be ISTPs.

Statistics

Total = 26 samples.

Most common types

ISFP - 20% (7 samples)

INFP - 17% (6 samples)

INFJ - 14% (5 samples)

Notable dominances

Introversion (77%) > Extroversion (23%)

Se - 34%

Feeling (72%) > Thinking (28%)

Fi - 43%

Analysis

First, the similarities: the vast majority of the samples were typed as Introverted, which indicates a high degree of overlap between how both systems define introversion (at least as far as Ti is concerned). Another similarity is the prevalence of high Se, again indicating high overlap, with both systems associating it with sports and entertainment.

However, both systems have notable differences: most of the TiSe samples were typed as Feelers, primarily as high Fi users. The most common reason for a T/F mismatch between MBTI and CT is agreeableness. In MBTI, agreeableness is often correlated with Feeling. In contrast, in CT, it is associated with an unguarded emotional attitude, which means that Adaptive TiSes are very likely to be typed as feelers in MBTI, especially females. Indeed, I suspect that is likely the main reason behind the INFJ typings.

However, I believe there is more to the prevalence of Fi in particular. In MBTI, identity-focus, self-expression, and authenticity are strongly associated with Fi specifically. But in CT, they are seen as Ji traits shared by both Fi and Ti, though each approaches it very differently. Fi will prioritize ensuring that all their work perfectly resonates with their inner essence, even if this makes them seem eccentric or odd to others. Meanwhile, Ti tends to display their individuality by mastering their craft, always aiming for polish and perfection in their technique, and analytical control in their presentations. One way to put it is that Fi art says "This is me", while Ti art says "This is my best." This is the reason so many TiSe are in fields like art and entertainment (music, acting, content creation).

Which leads us to our last topic, the absence of "typical" ISTPs. In MBTI, ISTPs are usually seen as self-reliant, competent, pragmatic, and stoic; from a CT perspective, what most would consider a stereotypical ISTP is actually way closer to a Te-lead than a TiSe. In CT, TiSe's craft mastery isn't motivated by self-reliance or independence, but rather by creative self-expression and perfectionistic idealism. This, combined with what was previously discussed about Feelers and Fi, is likely the reason why so few TiSe's are typed ISTP.

how weird it is that I cried that day and thought that there's no hope left for me

​and the next day I'm just continuing my life and don't feel anything and forget my problems at all

(i think its just because im fe inferior and dont have fi at all in mbti lol)
