"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."

Interviews
Interviews are useful for familiarizing yourself with the visual and temperamental aspects of different types. Notice Steve’s facial expressions, eye movements, posture, mannerisms, speech patterns, and responses to others. Over time, you will recognize similar patterns in other ISTPs.
Work
Although not as immediately apparent as in interviews, a person’s type shines through in the work they create as well. Notice the aesthetic, themes, and approach Steve uses in his work. What light can this shed on the mind of ISTPs in general?
