ISFP here. We're not all that into the detail of MBTI, but here's how I see it. FI - Your conscience. It's always there. Never not there. A clean conscience is what sets you free in life (without being neurotic). SE - This is where we find the glory in life. Have very little interest in the past or future, and even less interest in the abstract, it's all about accessing the wonder in experience right now. I would rather die than live without SE. NI - The subconscious. Best just to trust it and leave it alone to do it's thing. TE- This takes care of all the annoying, pain in the ass things like bus timetables, schedules, plans etc. Anyhow, it's always nice to see your videos. Thanks for posting.
I really like how you preface each of these personality type videos by clarifying the difference between personality traits ("content of personality") versus personality types, which therefore explains that not everyone of the same personality type would have the same stereotypical traits for that type. I think it's very important for people to know this before learning about each type. Great job.
I'm new to your channel and I feel very known. It's more like you're giving verbal shape and form to me. I started growing trust in your words gradually but just when you said ISFPs are very honest/direct, I felt really understood. You say personally it's a merit but I'd say not always because my honestly sometimes breaches social harmony. It's something I definitely don't have control over. One moment I'm the quietest who's subtly observing an exchange but a very bold and outspoken individual the next. Sure makes us mysterious because I've been told the same very often. I've also been told that I read people very quick and well with acute observation skills.
15:54 I had an ISFP boyfriend and the themes thing is so true! A lot of his interests revolved around justice (comic books, majoring in poli sci).... he was very consistent.
I am very judgy!! Im generally pretty open minded and accepting but I do have values that I really stick to and if someone doesn't have the same values I definitely judge them
I’m a INFJ, but I love ISFP people! I love the way they think, how they like to be in the moment, be creative and optimistic but also quiet, warm and so lovely… I don’t know any ISFP in my life, but I would love it! I think if I have a ISFP partner it would be so good too… I love please, be kind, good listener and show affection so it’s good for ISFP insecurities… Also the flexibility and consciousness that ISFP have would help me a lot to live happily, because even though I have hard time with these things, I appreciate it so much!
Thank you for an intriguing video. Even though I normally test as an INFJ on those online tests (I know, I know), your ISFP video describes me quite well also. Maybe that's because I'm in my fifties and have developed lots of the other cognitive functions, or maybe it's because I'm actually an ISFP. I will look into this further....*sound of fascination and inner exploration kicking in*
As someone who usually gets INFP on the quizzes, but I'm pretty sure I'm an ISFP, you're explanation of the differences as an INFP were very interesting and informative.
I am an ISFP and most things are true. But the logical part is a bit contradictory. A lot of my teachers have told me that my logical thinking shows in my assignments. I tend to think with my brain not with my heart which adds up to my friends asking me for advice since I dont choose sides I just look at both sides and choose the one that’s right. I don’t know I am a bit confused about ISFP and logic
That can be your trait as a logical ISFP. We empathize with people easily, and also try to put ourselves into other people's shoes when making decisions. However, that doesn't mean we're incapable of thinking logically. Writing assignments is different I think because it's work-related. Keep in mind that when answering the MBTI test, you're required to be at a state of rest an not thinking about work or school.
Me too, Inas Hamzeh, as far as resonating with the logical functions strongly but still my inner value-based (somewhat emotional) system is always the final arbiter.
There is simply no way for ISFPs and INFPs to be as logical as other personality types. This is because the Ti function is located in the demon function, meaning that it is beyond their control. If you believe that you are highly logical and that logic is of great importance to you, then it is likely that you belong to a different personality type. As an ISFP myself, I am capable of being logical when it is necessary or when it aligns with my values. I do not, however, approach everything in my life with a strictly logical mindset. Instead, I rely on my own value system to guide my decisions. If a particular piece of information is meaningful to me, then I will believe it, rather than evaluating it solely based on its logical merits. For example, I trust and frequently consult the MBTI test, not because it is scientifically rigorous, but because it helps me to better understand myself and others. It is important to recognize that while ISFPs and INFPs may not prioritize logic in the same way as other types, this does not necessarily mean that we have many logical flaws. Rather, we simply approach decision-making from a different perspective.
I write down the important things I need to accomplish in my little daily calendar. I cancel or reschedule a lot when the introversion kicks in. Tbe best part of being at home is free unstrucured time, i.e. a sense of timelessness. Cherish it!
Welcome back! I also have a question, not really related to the ISFP but I’m deciding whether I should be ESFP or ENFP. Out loud and with others, it’s kind of like I have Ne, but I figured I don’t really do the Ne-Si, unless I don’t notice. I relate a lot more to the Se-Ni situation, (and maybe the Ni grip) and in real life I see things as they are, follow my gut instinct and hop on to new experiences on the go. But I also enjoy philosophical discussions, and what to figure out what really happened and even think about how it can relate to the present moment. I do art in my free time and even come up with ideas for stories and overthink a lot when I’m alone. Gahhhh is there a big giveaway to which I can figure out which I define best? I don’t want to be biased since both types are really similar I don’t want to end up thinking the biased things like “oh she thinks and gets ideas, must be an intuitive!” and such.
ENFP's often say "oh we should do this, or this could be that"...They're all things that could be, but not things that are really there. The Se doms do things without talking about them that much and Ne doms do way less but talk about it more. At least, that's one thing I observe as a difference between Ne doms and Se doms. ALso I wonder, if you hear a lot of different perspectives about the same subject that might or might not be true, then does that inspire you or drain you out? Types with Ni want to work towards 1 particular goal or believe in 1 particular thing ( even though Ni is low (it's still there) and Ni wants one thing to focus on for example). Ne doms are all about the greys. Everyhing is more equal to the other (in their mind) .So if there are 4 possbilities, then the Ne dom will more easily experience they're all somewhat likely and keep their options open, while the ESFP will more want to choose or believe in 1 particular one. Just some thoughts!
Is it possible to be an isfp thats detached from present all the time and never in the moment. But also cant be infp or enfp cuz lack of theorizing and talking in metaphors.
I get such bad sensory overload too I can't handle sensory stuff. Also I dissoicate sm. But I can't handle talking about past or future but I can't talk about present either. I don't get the finer things idk why isfps consider clothes a big deal. Idk.. maybe I just don't have a personality.
Hi, my friend is a male immigrant with an istp personality, I now work as a construction assistant and for August I will be faced with three job options that I have to choose, one of which is on the orders of my boss (general contractor) where I work now to be honest I I like all three and I am confused about which one can you give me a view .. ?? electrician (wiremen) carpenter (framing house) which car mechanic is more inclined with a istp personality, thank you god bless
i think your 2 minute introduction could have been summarized on a separate video. in that intro, you mentioned "personality characteristics" can be manifested in any personality type. that too should go in a separate video. I was hoping to learn about ISFPs in this video. but i lost interest when i heard a reiteration of personality psychology principles.
That is a good point. However, not all people watch her other videos. And the explanation about personality traits vs types are really important in understanding the whole picture. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the explanation because that points out that this video is about the true MBTI system and not a video about 16personality types
I wonder what personality type you are. Probably an ENTJ. Even the suggestion was kind of yuck. Maybe work on your patience?? 2 minutes is not that long.
I'm sorry lady but you are confusing because I have an isfp and or ESFJ and you're talking about what kind of you have like INF for whatever these letters just going out there to people that don't know what you're talking about but you do because obviously you have knowledge in this area we really don't will you throw out letters like f i t i what you been doing we don't know what you're talking about at least I don't know you're talkin about majority of us not have knowledge that you do and he's letters that is all around you got it you I asked as pee together like we know you are. I asked what yeah I have no idea what you're talking about at all whatsoever I'm confused you need to talk slower and more and you don't hit Earth and more understanding towards explaining what isfp is that all together then I can relate but you go fi or TI when you sell these letters wrong like that you have the knowledge we were talking about the TV don't have most of us doing I am so confused I don't even know what you're talkin about I can't watch anymore of this because I can't know what all these letters your letters that you're telling us like f i or TI is it when you do that I have no clue what you're talking about whatsoever and then it's goes me have any confusion land so I had to go to another adyar Ananda yoga understand that we don't have the logical and knowledge that you you were learning and I'm confused and thank you
sounds a bit ignorant lol .. we all have them . regardless of where it falls in your stack , i would think its there for good reason . more or less , depending on who you are , but its just as foolish to disregard feeling & emotion as it would be logic & rational .
@Ayana Rashay it sounds ignorant until crisis hits and you scramble to put your beliefs and self together and find its all built on a heap of disconnected assumptions. That's the world feelings builds.
As a fi Dom I agree. I prefer logic over emotions majority of the time but I'm authentic and shit at thinking in logic frameworks and bad at being blunt so I have no choice but having fi over wveyrhting. But in every situation I want solution and go with logic over emotion.
Welp idk if I’m an infj or an isfp Might seem like a big difference, but look at the functions: Infj: Ni Fe Ti Se Isfp: Fi Se Ni Te And I use Fi a whole lot but hardly ever use Te and I’m just rly confused with the Feeling and Thinking functions. I use Ti a lot but don’t know weather I use Fe🥲
@wooh thanks although I’ve realised already I’m an infj heh, idk why I figured I might be isfp cuz I am like the infj description and relate to pretty much all infj things and barely any of the isfp things, but thanks nonetheless:)

Loved the explanation for why Se is important for the ISFP to develop. Excellent video!
This is one of the most accurate ISFP videos I have ever seen, and I now understand a bit more on the MBTI. Thank you very much for the explanations
This is the best explanation of the functions that I’ve ever heard. Good job

What's it called when Ur an isfp except Ur detached from the present constantly and always depersonalised and overanalyzing everything
So glad to see your back!!

Everyone even esfps , glass full glass half glass whatsoever
My Ni : OMG it’s a glass with water in it. just drink the water pls .
Me: Good to have a glass and water. Make sure it's water.
@@quyenphan3981 lol no wonder why i have lots of mood swings I think I’ve been drinking something else Oops bye -
Very nice explanation of ISFP. Liked the example of the elephant to drive the point.
I am an ISFP and I want to know how you other ISFP's manage your time. It just impossible for me.

thank you for making this awesome video, very informative❤️

I wonder how you did learn all these things about ISFP's when even us ISFP's don't understand ourselves most of the time. Hahaha.
we need a video abt INTJ maybe you have an info+ that idk abt myself ... maybe

I'm either an ESFP or ISFP
Just look within yourself you know your mind best
And another thing you will know if you're introverted you're probably just extroverted
Do you prefer se over fi or fi over se?
You are saying that isfp are waste persons
They're more like mice, while INFPs are like hamsters.
🤣 true 👌

Confused you are indeed.
Wtf is this
ISFP OR ESFJ
People that are led by their feelings are lost in the world. It's the most subjective and error filled route of perceiving.
