VIRTUOSO PERSONALITY (ISTP, -A/-T)

Virtuosos love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and
examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity.
People with this personality type are natural Makers, moving from project to
project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning
from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, Virtuosos find
no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting
them back together, just a little bit better than they were before. Virtuosos
explore ideas through creating, troubleshooting, trial and error and first-hand
experience. They enjoy having other people take an interest in their projects and
sometimes don’t even mind them getting into their space. Of course, that’s on the
condition that those people don’t interfere with Virtuosos’ principles and
freedom, and they’ll need to be open to Virtuosos returning the interest in kind.
Virtuosos enjoy lending a hand and sharing their experience, especially with the
people they care about, and it’s a shame they’re so uncommon, making up only
about five percent of the population. Virtuoso women are especially rare, and the
typical gender roles that society tends to expect can be a poor fit – they’ll often
be seen as tomboys from a young age.
Dare to Differ:
While their mechanical tendencies can make them appear simple at a glance,
Virtuosos are actually quite enigmatic. Friendly but very private, calm but
suddenly spontaneous, extremely curious but unable to stay focused on formal
studies, Virtuoso personalities can be a challenge to predict, even by their friends
and loved ones. Virtuosos can seem very loyal and steady for a while, but they
tend to build up a store of impulsive energy that explodes without warning, taking
their interests in bold new directions.
Nothing Is as Boring as Everyone Agreeing With You:
Virtuosos will come to learn that many other personality types have much more
firmly drawn lines on rules and acceptable behavior than they do – they don’t
want to hear an insensitive joke, and certainly wouldn’t tell one back, and they
wouldn’t want to engage in horseplay, even with a willing party. If a situation is
already emotionally charged, violating these boundaries can backfire
tremendously. Finding an environment where they can work with good friends
who understand their style and unpredictability, combining their creativity, sense
of humor and hands-on approach to build practical solutions and things, will give
Virtuosos many happy years of building useful boxes – and admiring them from
the outside.

VIRTUOSO STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

Virtuoso Strengths:
 Optimistic and Energetic – Virtuosos are usually up to their elbows in some
project or other. Cheerful and good-natured, people with the Virtuoso
personality type (especially Assertive ones) rarely get stressed out,
preferring to go with the flow.
  Creative and Practical – Virtuosos are very imaginative when it comes to
practical things, mechanics, and crafts. Novel ideas come easily, and they
love using their hands to put them into action.

 Know How to Prioritize – This flexibility comes with some unpredictability,

but Virtuoso personalities are able to store their spontaneity for a rainy
day, releasing their energy just when it’s needed most.
 Great in a Crisis – With all this hands-on creativity and spontaneity, it’s no
wonder that Virtuosos are naturals in crisis situations. People with this
personality type usually enjoy a little physical risk, and they aren’t afraid to
get their hands dirty when the situation calls for it.
 Relaxed – Through all this, Virtuosos are able to stay quite relaxed. They
live in the moment and go with the flow, refusing to worry too much about
the future.
Virtuoso Weaknesses:
 Stubborn – As easily as Virtuosos go with the flow, they can also ignore it
entirely, and usually move in another direction with little apology or
sensitivity. If someone tries to change Virtuosos’ habits, lifestyle or ideas
through criticism, they can become quite blunt in their irritation.
 Insensitive – Virtuosos use logic, and even when they try to meet others
halfway with empathy and emotional sensitivity, it rarely seems to quite
come out right, if anything is even said at all.
 Private and Reserved – Virtuoso personalities are notoriously difficult to
get to know. They are true introverts, keeping their personal matters to
themselves, and often just prefer silence to small talk.
 Easily Bored – Virtuosos enjoy novelty, which makes them excellent
tinkerers, but much less reliable when it comes to focusing on things long-
term. Once something is understood, Virtuosos tend to simply move on to
something new and more interesting.
 Dislike Commitment – Long-term commitments are particularly onerous for
Virtuosos. They prefer to take things day-by-day, and the feeling of being
locked into something for a long time is downright oppressive. This can be a
particular challenge in Virtuosos’ romantic relationships.
  Risky Behavior – This stubbornness, difficulty with others’ emotions, focus
on the moment, and easy boredom can lead to unnecessary and unhelpful
boundary-pushing, just for fun. Virtuosos have been known to escalate
conflict and danger just to see where it goes, something that can have
disastrous consequences for everyone around if they lose control of the
situation

VIRTUOSO RELATIONSHIPS:
When it comes to romantic relationships with Virtuosos, it’s a bit like nailing Jell-O
to a tree. Dating Virtuoso personalities is a tango, complex and interesting, with
alternating coldness and detachment, and passion, spontaneity and enjoyment of
the moment. Nothing can be forced in Virtuoso relationships, but so long as they
are given the space they need to be themselves, they will gladly enjoy the
comforts of a steady partner for a lifetime.
VIRTUOSO FRIENDS:
When it comes to friendships, Virtuosos seem made for Bushnell’s Law of game
design: Easy to learn, difficult to master. With their well-rounded and interesting
array of hobbies, people with the Virtuoso personality type have no trouble at all
making acquaintances to share their activities with. It’s getting beneath the
surface to become Virtuosos’ true friends that is the real challenge, leaving them
with a lot of good will and friendly faces to call on, but only a few people who
they feel truly understand them.
Maybe... But Not Today:
A lot of this comes down to Virtuosos simply not wanting to be bound to any
particular person or activity. Virtuoso personalities live in the present, enjoying
whatever life brings, and feel no real obligation to shift course on account of
others’ plans. If friends don’t want to do what Virtuosos are doing, then they are
free to go do their own thing, and they’ll hang out some other time. Sometimes
their shifts in attitude can catch their friends flat-footed, but Virtuosos’ motto
remains “everything can be changed”. Forcing them to constantly commit to
scheduled activities is probably the quickest way to end these friendships. This
makes friendships with Intuitive (N) types, who have a much less physical
approach to life, challenging for Virtuosos to maintain. With their enjoyment of
firsthand experience, these personalities just feel more comfortable alongside
other personality types with the Observant (S) trait. So long as they share a
hobby, philosophical differences and contrasting world views really don’t matter
too much – it’s what people do that matters to Virtuosos.

VIRTUOSO PARENTS:
When it comes to parenting, Virtuosos give their children more freedom and
opportunity to do whatever they want, within sensible limits of course, than any
other personality type. It’s a big world out there, meant to be explored and
experienced. Nothing is quite as perplexing to Virtuoso parents as their children
sitting inside and watching television all day. Relaxed, open-minded and flexible,
Virtuoso personalities expect their children to use their freedom wisely – that is,
to exploit it in the name of exploration and experience.
The World Is Your Oyster:
Early in life, this attitude is tremendously beneficial for Virtuosos’ children. At this
age, every little thing is a miracle, to be explored with every sense. Blocks don’t
just have distinct colors and shapes, but smells and tastes too, and this sort of
sensory exploration is right up Virtuosos’ alley. As their children learn their motor
skills, people with the Virtuoso personality type are happy to stack those blocks
right along with them. As their children grow and develop more complex abilities,
Virtuosos find joy in showing them how to use real tools to build real things.

VIRTUOSO CAREERS:
The Virtuoso personality type is probably the hardest to pin down in many aspects of life, but especially
in their careers. Virtuosos thrive on diversity and unpredictability, on wondering “what’s next?” every
morning. This makes Virtuosos one of the most mysterious personality types, but also one of the most
versatile in the professional world. Virtuosos are born problem-solvers with an unwavering focus on
practical solutions (though perhaps not always solutions to practical problems). No other type is quite as
fascinated by how things work, how tools can be used, and how facts can be put together to create
immediate and satisfying results. This combination of curiosity and hands-on vigor make people with the
Virtuoso personality type excellent mechanics, engineers, graphic designers, and forensic scientists.
VIRTUOSOS IN THE WORKPLACE:
When it comes to the workplace, Virtuosos’ top requirement is often a sense of
unpredictability and excitement. This quality makes Virtuoso personalities’
personal relationships challenging enough, even among close friends and
immediate family – for those they’ve only come to know in a professional
environment, it can be downright frustrating.Of course, this all comes down to
knowing what makes them tick. With a little space and a hands-on problem to
solve, Virtuosos can be some of the most productive people around. As with
anyone, forcing people with the Virtuoso personality type into a mold that
doesn’t fit just doesn’t work. Recognizing their unique perspective and gifts can
lead to extraordinary results.
Virtuoso Subordinates:
As subordinates, what Virtuosos crave most is a little wiggle room. Relaxed and
easy-going, people with the Virtuoso personality type are happy to stick around
with surprising loyalty, as long as their employers and managers don’t try to force
them to commit to anything that can’t be undone the next day. Strict rules,
guidelines and formal agreements make Virtuosos feel cramped and bored. If
their habits or methods come under criticism or are forced to change, Virtuosos
can also be surprisingly mulish. Something that’s likely to make Virtuosos’ day is a
random list of things that need to be fixed or dealt with. Virtuoso personalities
have a talent for conserving their energy for just such an occasion, and can tackle
such a laundry list with surprising enthusiasm. Their tasks do need to be hands-on
though – if the items all start with “Come up with a strategy to...”, it’s probably
better to find an Analyst type.
Virtuoso Colleagues:
Virtuosos are often much more liked by their colleagues than they would expect.
Quiet and reserved, people with this personality type usually need a little physical
space, but at the same time enjoy peeking in on others’ work to see if there’s
anything interesting going on. Not naturally emotional or empathetic, Virtuosos
have a blunt way of communicating that can lead to misunderstandings or hurt
feelings.
Virtuoso Managers:
Virtuoso managers treat their subordinates as they’d like to be treated: with
minimal talking and loose boundaries. Virtuosos aren’t big on chattiness or
emotional expression, and more sensitive types may see them as cold and distant
– effusive praise and back-slapping just isn’t in Virtuosos’ nature. In fact, there
isn’t likely to be a lot of feedback at all from Virtuoso managers, good or bad. But
when problems do arise, they are great listeners who devise practical, fair, and
impartial solutions.

VIRTUOSO PERSONALITY – CONCLUSION:

Few personality types are as practical and inventive as Virtuosos. Known for their
rational thinking and willingness to improvise, Virtuosos are good at finding
unique solutions to seemingly impossible challenges. Virtuosos’ desire to explore
and learn new things is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal
growth. Yet Virtuosos can be easily tripped up in areas where their logical and
practical attitude is more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is navigating
interpersonal conflicts, confronting unpleasant facts, pursuing self-realization, or
managing your workload, you need to put in a conscious effort to develop your
weaker traits and additional skills.
What you have read so far is just an introduction and less than 5% of what we can
tell you about the Virtuoso personality type. You may have muttered to yourself,
“wow, this is so accurate it’s creepy”, or “they know more about me than people
I’m closest to”. And you may even be a little uncomfortable because you are a
private person and not used to seeing your thoughts explained in this way.
This is not a trick. You felt understood because you were. And no, we did not spy
on you – rather, we spent years studying Virtuosos’ life stories, experiences, and
responses to hundreds of our surveys. Step by step, insight by insight, we
discovered exactly how Virtuosos think, and what they need to reach their full
potential.
This is how we know that many of the challenges you’ve faced and will face in the
future have been overcome by other Virtuosos. You are not alone in this. You
simply need to learn from mistakes and successes of others.
But in order to do that, you need a roadmap that fits your needs. Life is too short
to stumble around grasping at scattered and contradictory advice that may work
for others, but not you. We now need to go much deeper into the Virtuoso mind
and answer “why?”, “how?” and “what if?”
Are you ready to learn why Virtuosos act in the way they do? What motivates and
inspires you? What you are afraid of and what you secretly dream about? How
you can unlock your potential, while also staying true to your core principles?
Our Academy provides a roadmap towards a more confident, happier, and
successful you. It’s not for everyone – you need to be willing to challenge
yourself, to face your fears, and to ask and answer questions you haven’t asked
yourself before. This is not a quick-fix solution, nor an easy shortcut. Our goal is to
help you grow and become the person you are meant to be, not to simply give
you a comfortable mask to put on.
