Characteristics of ISTP (Practical Type) Parents – Easygoing, laid-back, and carefree parents
ISTPThese parents are generally not the type who strongly desire to become parents in the first place. They may tend to leave the creation of the household environment and rules to their spouse or partner. They tend to distance themselves from their children's privacy and will often remain very calm and relaxed parents. They can provide a fun and comfortable environment where their children are not judged or expected to do anything. They are good at spending one-on-one time with their children and experiencing new things together.

Life as an ISTP (parent) / ISTP (child)
ISTPBoth children and adults of this type look forward to special family events such as welcome parties, anniversaries, and social gatherings, but they are more interested in the preparations—baking special cakes, preparing gifts, etc.—than in the events themselves. Because they neglect the actual event, other types of people perceive this behavior as inconsiderate, uncooperative, or unsociable.
However, the truth is that ISTPs simply don't need much social interaction. Once the event is over, they might suggest to a couple of close friends that they don't need to go home yet. For ISTPs, that's when the "real" party begins, and they enjoy spending time with like-minded friends.
ISTP parents don't expect things to go according to plan. They tend to observe and act when necessary. They understand that even the most well-thought-out plans can go wrong, and they strive to avoid becoming excited, emotional, or losing their composure. This is because doing so would waste energy and leave them unable to cope with what happens next—a perfectly valid reason.
ISTP parents do not impose their own views on their children. They value their children's autonomy, their sense of privacy, and their differences in interests and development, and they strive to put these values into practice through words and actions. However, when opinions clash, even ISTP parents can raise their voices and become emotional. Even then, once they calm down, they will calmly present options for their children.
ISTP children are often seen by people of other personality types as constantly causing trouble because they want to understand how machines and other things work and end up taking them apart, or they try to do something they want to do without getting permission.
As for hobbies, I tend to be interested in motorcycles, and I enjoy both riding and repairing them. This often causes concern for my family.
This type of person believes that the only way to learn something is to actually do it. They have little interest in or motivation for abstract topics or things that are not directly related to their daily lives. Therefore, they find it most enjoyable to learn by actually experiencing things that interest them at the moment.
