How do ISTPs (and other SPs) see the future? Optimistically of course. But from flashbacks and the past catching up to him, we know that anything good from his past is overclouded by guns, gangs, rain, and betrayal. He even tells Faye that ever since, he’s been seeing the present in one eye and the past in the other. Spike himself actually embodies this due to the fact that his right eye is cybernetic from an unspecified incident that goes mostly unspecified. It’s not that every Artisan you meet is going to immediately start grumbling when you bring up the fifth grade, but most of their stories will involved something bad happening, even if it’s told humorously. He says that Artisans (SPs) live in the now (As we know, thanks to Se) and see the past with cynicism. The combination of intellect and physical prowess make them a top contender for said skills.Īnd Keirsey wasn’t joking about the way all types look at the time. Be it sports or martial arts (Which sometimes is and sometimes isn’t a sport), ISTPs who care to dedicate themselves to the arena are usually pretty easy to catch on. This isn’t to say that to be ISTP is to be the best fighter you know, but they’ve just got a natural aptitude for the physical. In Session one, Asteroid Blues, the first few minutes of the show paint the picture of a slow moving space bum…while his first fight with bounty head Asimov show that even with Asimov being all hopped up on Red Eye, Spike’s still able to deal with the problem efficiently and escape the fight without a scratch. Think of it this way- Te is a hammer, Ti is the scalpel.īut while Spike’s Ti makes more than just any ol’ futuristic bounty hunter, giving him an edge on what seems like most of his opponents, their auxiliary function Se can have them act and react with uncanny speed and Spike would be the best example of this. Knowing “why” is more important than doing. But ISTPs would rather analyze and calculate than demonstrate and it’s also part of the reason Spike and other ISTPs can seem lazy. It’s part of the reason an ISTP comes across as being so laid back rather than say, an ESTJ, whose dominant function is Te which is obsessed with putting things to use. Spike’s love of all things mechanical, from his gun to his ship, is shown throughout the show and its the major reason and INTP and ISTP would ever be confused if at all. It’s what has a strong Ti user enjoy taking things apart to see how they work. It’s why so many so-called nerds would rather use their brain than their fists. Like an ISTP, his emotions range from lackadaisical, humorous, pissed off…then back to lackadaisical.Īs you probably know, Ti, as opposed to Te, is non-confrontational. Normally laid back, Spike has his moments where he loses his cool if not only for that moment. Don’t let this handsomely masculine face fool you.įrom Asteroid Blues to to the Real Folk Blues, Spike’s character is one of depth and consistency.
