comment
I found it very interesting to read. It was written in detail and was extremely fascinating.
By the way, isn't the description of ISTP personality traits actually describing ISTJ? The cognitive function diagram also appears to be for INTP.
I apologize if I've misread something, but I would appreciate it if you could double-check just to be sure. Thank you.
I'm the administrator.
Thank you for pointing that out.
As you pointed out, both articles in this article contained incorrect information.
We sincerely apologize for publishing incorrect information due to our carelessness.
We have now replaced the information with the correct ISTP content, so please check it.
We look forward to your continued support of Nar Psychology.
Thank you so much for the quick corrections. There were so many points that applied that it was almost funny (though there might be some wishful thinking mixed in there too?).
I'll try to read through the parts that aren't directly relevant to me, little by little. Thank you very much!
I'm glad it was helpful!

They're also said to be the same ISTP type (though I'm not certain...).
