I'm an INFP and my wife is ISFP. Been married 12 years and known each other for a year before got married. Can be tough at times (both very stubborn) I'm a talker, she's a doer and few other issues. But the pros outweigh the cons. I love her so much, she feels same. After 13 years I think we are doing well.
Wow, as an ISFP, it boggles my mind that people would admire my type when I've spent a lot of time admiring other types. I love INTJs, btw. I initially thought that I wouldn't get along with INTJs, but I've connected well with them. You guys rock.
I am a ISFP and I found what you said about being in social situations so funny and true! I tend to be so comfortable in myself even in awkward situations and observing what others are doing rather than speaking. I much rather do activities together like sports or be in situations where I can compete with each other is when I tend to come out of my shell.
Isfp here, sounded pretty accurate from my experience. About the seeming to be comfortable with silence. I can appear like that but generally feel awkward. However depending on what external senses are happening it might be that I am so obsorbed in soaking in the sights or conversely being distracted by uncomfortable noise levels that I can just have nothing to say even if I wish I could say something and feel awkward for not saying anything. When I try to speak though it can come out wrong to the social group if I express discomfort with the loud noises or express my delight in the sunlight shining through the trees (likely because the first seems complainy and the second seems to come out of no where.) What I am jealous of is types that can easily talk to other people in social settings or with strangers. I have seen that in INFPs and also Esfj types and enfp but I am sure there are more. I get so knotted up in my own feelings about a situation or sensations in an environment that it can be difficult. Parties are aweful and sitting and just talking isn't fun. However, if you walk with an isfp in an art museum or arboretum or some beautiful place they would enjoy you can get some easy and great discussions going! Or if anyone actually gets together for knitting or some other hands on activity that can help the isfp to open up and remove the awkward feeling from the interaction. My husband is an INTP and it has been helpful to know that when he wants to sit in a coffee shop and talk about abstract concepts and his systems to understand them I can bring some coloring or knitting and I am able to listen and respond so much better than without something physical to focus on! Without something like that I will get really distracted and bothered with all the noise and sights and people and it is so hard to focus on what he is saying. He and I are quite oposites. He wishes that I didn't talk about feelings and liked the abstract stuff more, and I wish he could enjoy the meal I just made without worrying about something that may never happen. .. or that he could enjoy seeing the butterfly in a single moment instead of brushing the experience away or being bored with it. As for the third function Ni, I notice this most when I am reading. Sometimes when I am listening to a podcast, but mostly when I am reading I will get these flashes of insight where I feel like I habe discovered the answer to whatever had been illuding me previously. If I don't talk about it or write it down I will have a hard time holding onto this insight. Final function, Fe is probably what I have worked on the most in my life. All the books on organizing or simplifying. And moving my furniture to try something that might work better in our space! I never can be organized in a way that fits much of what I have read, but principles from these ideas have for sure gotten in and I have had to come up with my own way of being organized that allows for spontaneity and beauty. Thanks for your video! I am sure all the types envy other types in different ways. Isfp types like to honor the uniqueness of each person and my husband said I was the only person to just accept him, quirks and all, right away, which was really unusual for him to experience. I have been told that I am hard to get to know because they assume so much underneath my words and actions and don't realize that I am being genuine and don't have a hidden agenda. Some painful conversations when I was older about this because I was so clueless at the time. My friends were assuming a bunch of stuff and from my perspective I liked everyone and they were all great! So when I heard how they made fun of me behind my back it was really painful and has possibly made it harder for me to reach out to knew people. We have lived in our current city for over 7 years and I don't have a close friend. A smattering of pretty good friends, but nothing close. Everyone is so busy. I don't know if this is an isfp thing, but reaching out just a little feels like a LOT to me and if they can't come to an invite it just gets harder and harder to ask and be rejected again and again. The isfp pulling away and retreating when offenses happen is a self preservation instinct for sure.
You just wrote about me really really well! I have those exact experiences. I typed as ISTP 10 years until 2 years ago when I took the test again as ISFP.. even consistently. People always assume I have a hidden agenda when I’m just saying everything at face value and want to be taken as such. People read too much into me when I feel I’m pretty simple. It has definitely made it harder for me to keep people close to me, though I agree I have close friends. I think it’s easier to maintain friendship from a distance, even physical. I can’t sit still just talking and doing nothing and constantly have to be doing something hands on to communicate, even if it’s just having a beer in my hand! I definitely envy other types who can communicate flawlessly or easily with others, especially new folks.
Infp here. It’s cool to see what is inside your heads as I don’t really understand it half of the time. Thing is, we’re so similar and yet very different. I had a crush on an isfp months ago, we live in different countries so we could just text, but he (almost) never initiated if he didn’t have something specific to ask, so I just stopped reaching out as I thought I was annoying him or something. It’s a shame cause I really like how your minds work, you’re generally very interesting people but you trigger my fear of rejection a lot😂
I enjoyed you're post and the discussion. I'm ISFP. A lot of what was said I agree with. Right now I am struggling with dating and reaching out. It feels like such an investment with little pay off. I'm not great at it and maybe I'm approaching dating wrong as an isfp. Maybe there is a better way. Haha
Such an inspiring comment. Thank you really much for your honesty. In my opinion, it shows how reflected you are. It touched me deeply and I think you have a great heart.
My brother is an ISFP. Im INFP. I found out one time that my brother had told my parents that he struggles with me sometimes because all I want to do is talk about everything all the time and he doesn't like to talk much. He's a doer and im a talker. He couldnt bring himself to tell me though. I was going through a traumatic time once and needed to talk it out with him. He straight out told me he 'didnt want to talk to me about it anymore'. That being said, he's much more physically affectionate. Will put his arm around people a lot or give people 'noogies'. He is kinda rough with his kids. He passes them around with people asking if they want a hold. He shows love by physical contact. Rubs faces. Rubs noses with his kids. But always with the intent to find that barrier where its not harmful, but is still pushing the limit. He likes sport more than I. We're both artists and have spent many years on single projects. Our inferior Te is evident. We're both inefficient in our approach to our work. He's is much more quiet than me and also more stoic in a sense. But over our lifetime, its he who comes to me when he's struggling with emotional issues. On an anecdotal level... before i learnt about MBTI... i remember that my brother when he was younger used to have this obsession with the word 'mythical'. He would write it everywhere. On a random piece of paper near the phone. On a wall. He even carved it into the dining table. Then when I learnt about MBTI and Ni... i realised it made sense that he was interested in the mythical nature of the world. But so strange he would write it everywhere! also he is more worried about his image than me. He is also very hard to get in contact with. Will not (NEVER!) answer the phone. He calls you, you dont call him. If he calls you and you didnt pick up in time... he will not answer if you return it. He's more shut off from the world than me.... but has a greater sense of wanting to dominate it. to win.
C omg im also an infp and my twin sister is an isfp(?). She sounds a lot like your brother. She really hates talking about things sometimes even if its personal and will also tell me she doesnt want to talk about it anymore lol (lowkey offended) :p shes also better at physically displaying affection and stuff.. she has a strong urge to go out there and do something, make something, experience something. i love her though we get along very well, we are pretty similar but also pretty different :)
Erika X Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That makes so much sense. I basically CAN’T say things simply and to the point. Lol! (trying to keep this reply short ;) ). After I found out about MBTI, I realized my ex-girlfriend was an ISFP too. So yes.. I have much love for ISFP’s What’s not to love? Some of the most genuinely loving people I know.
I'm (well I think, I'm not sure, I did not go through an expert mbti) isfp but for an isfp for me part, when I have a problem, I like talking, at on the contrary, if I do not speak, I feel bad ... so, I think that not all isfp are like what you describe. After that I think that the enegram may play a role on it. I have a brother isfp and he does not look like me, he does not talk much and he does more physical things than me.
@@Serafina_ i'ld say you're right. And I'll add my boyfriend loves to hear people ramble. But!... If he loses interest its just background noise. Which is comforting tho 😌👍 so he still values it
ISFP here, strong in all 4 categories. I definitely don't like to talk too much and would rather be active without jibber jabber, lol. Even intrnal jibber jabber can get exhausting. That's when I put on some music or go for a drive or just get away from people period. I can feel when I'm approaching my word limit where I MUST shut up. It's like I run out of words and have to spend time storing up again. I feel anger at having to continue to speaking past that point.
Wow, that was a fun and educative video ^^ Currently one of my good friends is an ISFP. I am an INTJ and I agree with Alex that ISFPs are super cute-I find her REALLY cute-I don't know if she is like that intentionally (probably not), but that's how it looks :D As an ISFP-INTJ relationship I see that I encourage her to accomplish her goals through my Te and she says no one motivates her better (wow) and maybe some deep conversations through my Ni-Fi which connects with her Fi-Ni , whereas she gives me emotional support and some aesthetic plasures in images, music and other stuff she finds :> I love your videos, keep making them! These are such a fun to watch
I have three ISFPs in my family and they are all unique but some things I’ve noticed are that they are very gentle and kind and get along with most ppl. They are all extremely sensitive to criticism or anyone trying to push them. They run from conflict like their life depends on it. Self preservation takes priority over anything. They all need a LOT of alone time, and the alone time has a *no talking* rule. They especially don’t like it when I try to talk through problems with them (I’m INFJ) they get VERY uncomfortable and will do anything to stop it even be rude or mean. They don’t like to go very deep in conversations. They all like to get nice new things and to indulge the senses, a fine dining experience will make them glow with pleasure. They can be such contradictions I find hard to figure out. My husband loves indulging us all in luxuries that he thinks are good but refused to acknowledge my birthday for years and says he doesn’t need anything from me (ow, my heart). Sister sends me cards in the post just to surprise me. She tells me all her problems but doesn’t like to hear mine. They make their own rules up as they go along! Yet they enjoy formal classes for creative pursuits. They can be so stubborn they won’t do something *because* you asked them to or they feel it’s expected? I’m still trying to understand it. I was married for years before I realised my husband gets more stressed out than me but doesn’t talk about it or show it on the outside. They are lovely as long as their comfort is not threatened then can digs their heels and will fight and scratch to not lose an inch, lol. I’m quite independent myself so can cope with the introversion but I’m more chatty in my down time. I can see that it drains them, I try not to get offended when they run. They are awkward showing physical affection but they like it. I have come to accept the ‘pat, pat’ is actually them trying to be supportive not patronising me. 🤣
Wow, amazing description, I can relate to all the descriptions (except the last description of isfp's not being affectionate) of the isfp's who have been close to me.
I am an ISFP and found you both amusing and very accurate in your talk. I draw , and right now learning to play the drums. Love my alone time, like to watch people, usually quiet at functions, and always enjoy a good charge up by myself. I enjoyed your video.
I'm an INFP who dated an ISFP for 5 years. He was an artist. Gentle too. Not a great relationship, but I respected his authenticity. I really love that type.
I don’t know about other isfps out there but for me I know myself more than ppl do I always seem to be different in everything i do and i like it because I chose to be different even though i don’t know what i want in this life or where am going “just go with the flow “ but at least i can be nice & good to people i can remember everything if it’s bad good ..I don’t know but I have good memory i can remember things that touched my soul on deeper level . I don’t like talking about everything it drains my energy like i feel lazy or somethin it’s hard for people to get to know me if you ask every member in my family you will get different description because I know how to treat people in different way I don’t get angry or upset easily but i get nervous so fast but it’s not anger believe me u don’t want to see me when am angry the cute nice person will disappear from your eyes but that’s what happens when you try to cross on my values or people i care about
As an ISFP, I just like existing in peace, I don't enjoy talking much, I'd rather just listen. For me accepting physical affection is very hard bc I feel very uncomfortable with if I'm not comfortable enough with that person, and it can annoy me a great deal.
(INTJ) ISFPs are probably the most common type among people I'm familiar enough to type. Most notable are a childhood friend, an aunt, a college roommate, a high school almost-friend, in particular. Examples aside, I find I can click with them easily and we often have the same, life long interests. However, they seem prone to mental health issues post-puberty, something I wonder is related to the weight of Fi emotions, Ni idealism, and the world pushing them to be Te. I'm not close to any INFPs and this probably applies, but ISFPs seem to get highly stressed when it comes to efficiency things like school deadlines. Half seem more easy-going and love the simple things in life (make good friends) while the other half seem more temperamental (make bittersweet friends). As odd as it may sound, my role either way tends to be almost big sisterly or that of patience, but the former ISFPs can also be my partners in crime (it's easier for me to be freer with myself if I have an accomplice). Examples (aka, long version): The childhood friend was an athlete, always full of energy, even though she limited her talkativeness to close friends and family. We get along even now because, like kids, we have the same interests like animals, nature, books, writing, and art. She's a nurse now and appreciates my science interests, even though overall I'm more intellectual and to her our interests are neat, tangible things in the world. Our communicate is largely second nature, though as kids she was easy to offend. As an adult though she's become less fun-loving and now trapped in the daily work grind with depression and anxiety. We can get into deep discussions on Ni and Fi levels, and we even have different support modes: she gives proper compliments ("You're so insightful!" "You're one smart cookie, you know that?" Very nice when compliments are rare and generic like grandparents you don't get along with send "sweet granddaughter" cards), and I encourage her goals. The aunt is a stereotypical, conflict-avoiding hippie. She likes me a lot for some reason. She's also the only person in the family (she's married in) that's pro-emotion, which is nice for me because I rarely feel safe in expressing my emotions. But perhaps for her own depression and anxiety, she can be very clingy, which is odd when you're a kid. The college roommate grew up sheltered with stereotypical, idealistic hippie parents. Like my childhood friend, we had so much in common and clicked. But you could say she was extra "young" for an 18 year old. She wouldn't tolerate other perspectives and was firm in standing up for hers--which were usually on one side of a given spectrum and often mocked by others. I was definitely the patient one in our dynamics. Loved and needed athletics and photography. Now getting a PhD in biology and studying songbirds. The high school almost-friend is the closest to the ISFP full on stereotype. Moody artist. Loved black and anime. In many ways we clicked: we liked the same video games, same perspectives on characters including their ambiance and how they convey themselves through costume and movement, loved the same fictional books, both independent. However, her depression and anxiety started early and while school was in session she would do nothing but art and complain. I think she escaped in an odd way by constantly negatively criticizing her artwork--at least she didn't have to confront the world and its criticisms? She didn't want to help herself and wouldn't accept help from others, which was the primary frustration for me. I could see what she could do, how much we could do together, and how much I related to her depression (but I had it even earlier [12] and outgrew it by high school). Last I checked Facebook she was a graphic designer, adopting elderly cats, and still mentally struggling.
I am an ISFP and my colleagues saying that I should talk/socialize however I just can't talk because I don't feel the need to talk, because I don't have something to say. We'll I'll talk if I have questions other than that I don't feel the need to talk. Lol
As a maybe isfp, I'm actually very self conscious about always being "the quiet one". Probably because I want something about me to stand out besides the fact that I don't say much. I guess I'm just no bueno with words.
in my head I'm always thinking in these situations, "If i don't have to talk. And I dont feel like it. Why should i? I dont owe anybody a conversations.
(INTJ) For me personally, ISFPs are the ultimate type -- the ideal that I wish most of the world looked like. When I've been in "altered states", I would swear blindly that I am ISFP, but even if I did join their hippy commune, it would probably be all of three days before I started looking at their electronics and mentally redesigning their computer layouts! For me, "ISFP mode" is never far from consciousness, but I've never liked my Te very much. I'm good at it, but it turns me into a jerk. I've always found ISFPs _very_ easy to get along with, but that was before I had any MBTI theory behind me, which I think is a good thing. If you can't avoid bringing MBTI theory into your head, just realise that each person's third function is the other's lead function, and our third function in particular is something we like to feed, and that we're going to find attractive in other people. ISFPs love our Ni and we love their Fi, so just be your natural self with confidence. Working with ISFPs musically or artistically is indeed wonderful, and I find it effortless, extremely rewarding, and I could probably do it for the rest of my days.
INFP: I love ISFPs! (Warning: this is based on literally -one- (EDIT: two) people). There's no type I've had more "exactly!" moments with. Even if our views differ, I can see that where they're coming from is pretty similar and, with their ideas being more intensive and focused because of Ni, they can truly wrap me up in their words when they're passionate about something. I feel like we understand each other, yet, at the same time, I'm fascinated by their enigmatic behavior. I'm not sure if that's mutual; I could see it going either way. ISFPs catch my attention and bring it to the beauty of the world in a way I can't (Se), and I feel like I can broaden their attention to a more wholistic view (Ne). Our ability to make each other go "woah" never ceases lol. I'd like to get to know one better than I have so far, as, when circumstances stop making us meet, our Fi's can be so scared of getting hurt that neither of us initiate and we drift apart. Maybe I'd have more negative things to say if I did get to know one better, but they just seem like delightful human beings so far!
Ne parent with Ni child and Se parent with Si inferior really does the job. Just be aware that both Fi are based on completelly different perspectives (Ne vs Se)
That’s exactly what happened with me (infp) and my crush (isfp) talked for about 2 months with me initiating, and then i just gave up because of fer of rejection😩 what can you do
Thanks for making this video. I've been typed by 16 personalities test as an INFP, but I'm starting to think more and more that I'm actually an ISFP. Definitively very quiet and reserved, in the moment, zen type personality. Deeply feeling and caring for others, but also believing everyone should fight their own battles. Love animals and nature. Artistic. Philosophical. Aesthetics are important. Individual over group. Live and let live. Passionate. Adventurous. Mischievous. Moody. Judgmental. Always rooting for the underdog. Good judge of character. Observant. Self critical. Intuitive. And I totally admire INFP's unique creativity. I'm sorry, but I don't know any INTJs.
my boyfriend is an isfp and im an intj. just like alex i think of him as cute!! no one would think he's cute though because he's so tall. but i remembered that his friend say his fashion is very weird and it clicked to me "he's fi dom!" and for activity partners, i think that is very true, his se are making activities more exciting and making me open to experience new things whereas i actually want to experience new things but a little bit reluctant because inferior se.
ISFP here! The intense and solidified thing is so true! My friends always tell me I „seem like I have my life together“ like *always* and i‘m just here like ??? I really don‘t know anything about the future 😂 However I do think we have very strong values and morals that we like to defend stubbornly :p I like the volcano and lava analogy too 😂 Edit: Also the silent thing; I really *hate* awkward silences and am almost always the first one to break them but I do mostly like to lean back in group conversations and not lead them :) Just be in the moment and have fun:)
OMG, that is so true about the ISTJ! I work closely with an ISTJ and he often comes over to my cubicle to tell me about his dog or latest task or project at home in GREAT DETAIL. Or talk about the latest news in politics or health or the environment (our shared interests). Not always, but I (an INTJ) often am ready to wrap up the conversation way before he is. And he goes into a level of detail that is almost painful for me. It has become a joke between us that he will give me as much minutia as possible just to see my reaction (but he's actually quite nice about being understanding about it). I even tell him sometimes that I'm getting overly-stimulated and need a break or I have to get back to work. I really like him though and when he gets that way it reminds me of a little boy all excited about his latest thing. Aside from being so detail-oriented, I enjoy his company and find that we have a lot of similar interests.
This was crazy specific! Little details like being totally cool with silence. But like y'all said, some of us can get anxious because we know other people expect us to want to talk, so I have to make a Very conscious effort to make small talk with being I'm not super close to!
Thank you for making this! I'm ISFP and one of my best friends is INFP. I can definitely see how our Fi's could clash because we both hold to our values so strongly, and I think part of the reason we clicked immediately and are so close is because we value a lot of the same things and also kind of despise the same things, like superficiality and annoying power dynamics in social relations. I've been looking for more info on ISFPs because functionally I am absolutely ISFP but so many of the descriptions are focused on how S's are superficial or dumber than N's and have been really disappointing. I'm so happy you guys filmed this! I'd love to see a visual typing of an ISFP on your channel.
Tabitha I’m an ISFP, and you can ask anyone who knows me that I am the furthest thing from superficial. ISFPs can definitely have a strong intuition. Because of this, I have tested as an INFJ and INFP before. But since extroverted sensing is definitely one of my top functions, I know I’m an ISFP.
John Oregon High Se users notice small sensory details in their environment. Whenever I drive around, for example, even if I’m lost in my head, I notice and can be captivated by visual details or changes on my drive, especially natural ones. Or when I walk into a room, the first thing I usually notice is the smell. These things can take me somewhere to my past, but I enjoy the uniqueness and pleasing qualities of them in the present. My INFP brother, on the other hand, is more about ideas, and can enjoy elements of nature, though not necessarily for itself, but for the ideas they represent. He’s always living in his thoughts and isn’t always aware of his physical environment. ISFPs enjoy nature and beauty for itself, INFPs enjoy it for what it means. At least that’s my experience. Hope that helps. Edit: Maybe not so much that INFPs appreciate the meaning behind things, but that the natural world may remind them of an idea or an observation that they’ve made and thought deeply through. My brother will see something and go off on a tangent that is, on the surface, completely unrelated to what he sees, but it will have to do about how he sees the world. I’ve learned to keep up only because I am used fo his thought processes. Ha ha
@@SinksYourBoat This was helpful, thank you. In my experience, whenever I see something beautiful or visually pleasing, it mostly works as a mood amplifier I guess. I may think about something else, like a certain feeling or something unrelated to the moment. Is that Ne? My guess is that I'm most likely INFP. Although, I'm not a 100% certain if I even have dominant Fi
John Oregon I’m not an expert on the functions, but I would assume that if what you see takes you someplace else, that’s more Ne. One way I can tell the difference between the two types is that INFPs are typically lost in thought about how the world COULD or SHOULD be, while ISFPs get lost in thought about how the world IS.
When I make myself to speak something due to others expectations it can get way more awkward,I literally don’t know what’s the right thing to say,sometimes I just make myself to say what other people would usually say but that’s just make me uncomfortable ,so not speaking is the best choice
You described the INFP and ISFP's approaches to having interests perfectly. I've retained a number of my interests throughout the years, but I tend to have shifting and varying degrees of focus towards them. I focus on one, jump to another one, after a period of time, return to that one. :) Typical INFP trait, it seems. :)
One more thing. I think no one is truly comfortable not communicating with others. Unless they are a psychopath. The extremely disagreeable ISFP I mentioned brings it up with me all the time, she think she’s so difficult that no one can stand her. Of course it becomes a complex. To care about other people’s needs/reactions is a sign of strength and health, not the other way around. Obviously you shouldn’t let yourself be driven by it in any way. Why aspire towards not carrying? I’m one disagreeable dude and it’s not easy life.
Robert Lindin this is true. I’m ISFP and I’m uncomfortable with my own disagreeableness but I just pretend to be comfortable. I know people expect me to communicate and be more open but if I don’t feel close enough to certain people then one word answers is hard enough for me to manage and I wish I wasn’t like that, we feel the social pressures the same as anyone else but in this case it’s just something we don’t know how to fix. I don’t like small talk, who cares about the weather? And if I don’t know you I won’t reveal my inner most thoughts, so what is there to actually be said? But it does make me uncomfortable.
The whole thing about INTJs envying those who can just be themselves and not worry about how other people perceive them is a something I feel as well. Alex, I hate to tell you this but it never goes away, at least for me I've just learned to hone it. I'm 50 and while I definitely have become more mature and have stronger boundaries so that I now choose to do what I want to do without guilt, I still think how nice it would be sometimes to not be able to be myself completely without worrying about that trickster Fe or saying something hurtful without realizing it.
I love the theory of activity partners!! I'm INFJ & my boyfriend of 3 years & my best male friend are both ISTPs and I think that our humour & conversations correlate really well. I also admire their ability to be logical with Ti when I am experiencing times of irrationality through my Ni overanalyse. And their ability to be present in the world with their Se while that is something I struggle with because I'm such a daydreamer😂 I just appreciate these people so much & I feel like I've always been drawn to these types. ESTPs have the tendency to intimidate me, but ISTPs I feel are more on my level.
I feel that if I am being irrational through Ni over-activation & over-analyse their logic comes in the form of Ti which I can relate to & in turn triggers my own Ti. i
I'm INTP, my sister is ISFP and we fought a lot as kids (but who doesn't), though we reached a good truce and we now value each other's differences etc. But we're still so different and I struggle to really understand her?? You know how INTPs want to understand everything, but by some weird fluke she defies intuitive explanation?? It's like you said, she just exists, as herself, with her unique set of desires and dislikes; and I'll try to figure her out like "so what do you think about?" (Cause she's pretty quiet), and she's like, nothing really, and I'm like ???????? So then I go into my my Ti mind palace thing and consult my files, and I'm like, well she leads with Fi, and next is Se, so she feels things and does things??") So I ask her and she's like "yeah I guess, I remember something, then I remember how it makes me feel, then I feel those feelings all over, then I get drained and take a nap... etc" So yeah, we're Super-ego I think, so it's all mystery on both our ends. I don't think she has the drive to *understand* like I do though, she just sort of accepts and gets occasionally annoyed at my weirdness. But we have enough life experience and memories (though I forget everything), and tastes in common that we enjoy each other's company and can respect our mutual difference.
Neo D'Lehoko This sounds exactly like my relationship with my INTP sister haha (I'm ISFP). We fought a lot when we were younger too but now we're on good terms. I sometimes can't explain my thoughts that well, I don't know why.
Black Rabbit Cool! Yeah I guess I've become aware that people aren't really doing the same thing when they're silent. My silence usually means exploring a line or landscape of thought, my sisters silence is not that at all, so I ask her about it but she can't really explain it either. I don't really think verbally, I think in images so I get the difficulty in converting that into words, but she doesn't seem to think in "images" necessarily, and she doesn't really say she's "thinking", I guess she's just... being?? I dunno.
A good description I heard describing how an isfp shares their thoughts/feelings is through art in some way and it can be frustrating to have people ask the thought and meaning behind the art. Because all the tangle inside has been created in front of you and of course we know other people are unique and will interpret this art in a way that fits them and not us perfectly. I don't like it when people try to figure out an explanation for what the art means to the artist. As an isfp, I would rather know what the art means to the other person who is receiving it. My husband is intp so we have a lot of discussiins about our personality types. Isfp types seem to want to know or talk about what meaning or feelings an individual has in reaction to a moment, but intp types can't seem to decide what they like without an objective scale. It can't be internal with values attached because this seems hokey and untrustworthy (and it would be to them because they don't have Fi at all) the introverted thinking though that an intp has which isn't in the isfp stack is frustrating because one could make the case that it is just as subjective as Fi depending on how you look at it. We had a whole discussion on what makes food taste good and let me tell you! We did NOT have a satifying conclusion or reach an understanding with each other at all. He was trying to base his personal scale of food being judged good or not on an external factor of what is acceptable to consume and I was trying to narrow the scale and fine tune it to more specific points of goodness based on oersonal likes and we just couldn't seem to stop talking around in circles! My advice is that if you want to talk abstractly with an isfp and you are intp make sure you are doing something while talking. Enjoy a walk or a meal or a museum or something the isfp would enjoy and enjoy it yourself too, but bring in your abstract questions at these points. You might be surprised what opinions an isfp will relate to you. My husband was usual surprised at what I came up with just from my introverted feeling and extroverted sensing and introverted intuition. Also, if an isfp gives you clothing advice it is generally better to take the advice or at least try it a few times and just see if you get more compliments from the wider world. I suppose I should be thankful for my husbands co-workers that told him things that I had been saying for years that he finally took. He needed the majority of society to have an opinion rather than just me I guess.
You were too much admiring and startle at which the point you've hate it. Although in a comfortable situations you may get you still sniffing at what you might hate ISFP serenity, but actually you hugely hate at what the point of a louder sounds, right, INTP?
My sister is also an INTP and what these are words i commonly heard from her: 1. You’re a crackhead 2. U live under a rock 3. U’re so dumb I dont mind tho cos its funny 😂😂😂👌
all the infp's I knew were super pessimistic and I tried to tell them things like "well u never know how things will turn out so u can't assume it'll turn out bad" they all have depression but so do I lol I'm isfp and a realist I can't speak for other isfp's tho
I think a lot of those of us who are ISPFs are actually very practical-minded and realistic, which can come across as pessimistic to others. We don't necessarily view the world negatively, we just see it as it is and don't sugar-coat anything.
I used to think I was an INFP, now a few days ago realised my Ne is crap... But ages ago when I wrote a comment on this channel even you thought I had Ne by how I was writing lol. Not gonna lie I think you're potentially ENFP, because the INFPs I know have to really tap into their Ne and be comfortable as to appear "bubbly" in any sense of the word. I see INFPs as sarcastic, secretly strong (not reactive to breakups kind of strong "this happened and this is why"), getting stuck in ruts despite their potential, not actually private - they open up shockingly easily and get nervous about what's about to come. I just don't see the INFPs I know in how you behave. I'm bubbly in a similar way to you though so I did get it before when I thought I was an INFP but... Yeah. I'm now also on team ENFP 😁😁 Sorry!!! I'm also very private IRL and more so online like you've seen in other ISFPs, I open up in relationships and my art by using Se which is the only way to describe it. When I'm healthy I'm able to realise my love of the present. I also open up if someone says something stupid (ie. goes against my Fi values). I used to think my Fi and Ne were the same thing cause I'm quite philosophical which I thought was Ne.
INTJs are so funny... probably those girls I didn't know what to do when they agreed to meet me were INTJs and I am an ISFP who was way much bubblier at that time so I even began asking myself a lot in my head about what I might have done wrong for such unapproachable behavior towards me when we met in person...!! I was like... "yeah... there is definitely something wrong and I don't feel like compromising anything further, so I just acted back to the INTJs the way they acted to me... as if I was ignoring and never going back into contact ever again because the INTJs never took any initiatives so I assumed they were very disinterested in me to the point of ignoring...! Next time I will know what to do. But it is extremely difficult to have that in-person opportunity with an INTJ...!!!! I'd really love to have an INTJ girl-friend... I love Isaac Newton! He was more than a man...
There probably also happened a mean girl contest in college when I hooked up with the most handsome INTP in ALL of Engineering... The only girl in computer science class than me was probably an INTJ and as INTJs are also prone to be attracted to NTPs I probably initiated a path of destruction and definitely did not see anything coming, but now I look back and see. It's very wonderful to understand people... through Jungian psychology
James Byun you may not be an artist but I bet you are artistic whether it be good at acting or music or great sense of aesthetic style or good at creating. This is still all forms of art. I cant draw at all but am artistic in performing arts.
Pretty sure I’m an isfp. I recently met an infp friend at school but after meeting up and actually hanging out outside of school I felt like she was a little stuck up so I kind of just stopped talking to her or making an effort to be her friend. Sounds bad but to me ig humility and friendliness is a huge value (Fi) and although I thought we would bond over similar personalities and also both being in the same art class she seemed to be very self centered and pretentious. But I have another infp friend who is like a fragile baby in my eyes that is usually just passive and puts on friendly faces most of the time even if I can see through them. I feel like as an isfp I can see through people a lot and see their motives even if they themselves may not be aware of why they’re doing something. But yea I was kind of disappointed to see how she was because I really wanted that friendship to workout but our Fis ig just didn’t match up
I will say a huge part of that was that I’m a Christian and she is not. And on more than one occasional I felt like she mocked my faith. And in theoretical conversations about space and if the moon landing was real she said “yea I’m not just some sheep I don’t believe in something just because I’m told to”. Which felt like a backhanded statement directed towards my faith. Which isn’t even true about myself and my faith in God. I wasn’t coerced into believing in God I had my own experiences. So her assuming that about me and judging me for it and being passive aggressive was a big turn off. All while I was just trying to have a fun random conversation about the moon landing - trying to be lighthearted and friendly. So tht really bothered me
Okay, I love you gals but I have to say it, as an INTJ, I am always optimizing. Alex, I think your bangs are getting too long. They are covering up your eyes! How can you see? Isn't that driving you crazy? I just want to see you with your face not all covered up. Better yet, grow out your bangs and totally get your hair out of your face completely. You have a pretty face, no need to cover it up. Was that rude of me? I guess it's sort of maternal of me since I'm old enough to be your mother. Anyway, you ladies are awesome! Thank you for your informative videos! I also like how you said ISFPs are like our hidden artist inside and I agree!!!! I've always felt I had a quirky artist in me but didn't understand it and never put much energy into it but have always been drawn to artists as my friends. Now I get it!
Uggh. For a private message sharing your opinion it's not rude. But to criticize her hairstyle publicly though in your maternal way is just mean. Can we have a full video of you to point out our public opinions?
Guys, sorry if I got your names wrong. Alex(?), you’re the most energetic and bubbly INTJ I’ve seen. You laugh a lot! It’s nice to see. I once got my INTJ colleague to laugh until he cried, that was a sight. Calypso(?), I’m not gonna make a video denying you your self-identified type ;-) but I think you’re likely ENFP. I know that introverts can be very outgoing with their extroverted function, especially when entertaining a subject they like. Which is obviously the case for you with MBTI. However, the amount of Ne and energy that’s comes from you compared to Fi and body- plus facial language that correlate with that is hard to fit within the INFP-frame. You like to throw parties?! I have multiple INFPs in my life and none even remotely similar to you. If not, you must have very high N+P preference and low I preference. About the ISFP. I’m in contact with one that is as pretty much like you describe them. She got 0 percentile agreeableness on The Big Five. Lava.
Nah son, she is most def an INFP (from a fellow INFP). We can seem a lot more extroverted-like than the stereotypes suggest, especially when we are comfortable. But on the whole, we require a lot of alone time.
Mom, that was exactly what I wrote i.e. I know that introverts can extrovert when engaged and comfortable. But still… Anyway, seems like the empirical evidence is in. From a sample of six! We now have three “bubbly” INFPs (you included, must say your profile pic looks a little bit less bubbly though…) vs. the three more stereotypical quiet, reserved and introverted INFPs that I’ve come across IRL. Who would never throw parties on a regular basis and struggle to speak out for a longer period of time. I stand corrected. Don’t mind my sarcasm. Honestly, for what I know the MBTI types are oversimplifications that sometimes just not describe- and give justice to outliers.
Lol! It seems like maybe you're forgetting that people are individuals, and that we're also a pretty diverse type? INFPs come in many different flavors :) really that applies to all types though.
Andrew Teng yeah and ISFP's are more about what meets the eye, what's aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. It's not that we don't have deep thoughts and emotions, it's just that we prefer expressing that with beauty and art.
Isfp's are lifelong drawn to me, both genders for friendship and romance, an infj. Buuut, what is it with isfp's turning on me and you in a heartbeat? And having no qualms about using slander to attempt to ruin my/your reputation as revenge? Can they just NOT do that when they FEEL threatened or FEEL the need for revenge? They perceive my FE as fake while I am frustrated by their stubborn "emotion over logic" logic.
I've recently discovered that I'm an ISFP and suddenly EVERYTHING MAAAAAKES SENSE! So happy 😆🌸🌈🌟 ETA it's taken me a few decades to be comfortable with being quiet in social situations.
I'm seeing all these videos where people plaster 4 letter combinations to everyone they are talking about. How? Does it take you a while to figure it out or do you just know? Curious cause I can't do this to anyone I know unless someone directly tells me what they are.
That’s one reason why I thought I was an isfp before I really knew about the functions, when I was younger (OK IM PROUD OF THIS OK DONT JUDGE ME XD) I was actually naturally good at drawing . Blah ahaha I actually agree with you on the fi wars, I have a lot of fi dom friends and once in a while our fis will clash. I’ve been around a very unhealthy isfp for a while who liked me when I didn’t like him at allI really want to meet healthy isfp because I’m sure I would like them, I don’t want that one bad isfp to skew my perspective of something amazing.
I always basically lived on the internet, games and social media (socially anxious isfp but is a lot better now) sometime's I'd end up being friends with someone and I always have the tendency to ask if they can take mbti test if I got curious enough all the closest friends I had happened to be infp, along with my last relationship and my current one were infp so basically, I knew a shitload of infp's somehow..10 people out of 40 people I knew who took mbti (friends/family)(yes I counted, I have a lot of time on my hands LOL) in comparison to how many isfp's I knew, like 3 out of 40 BUT this is just in my experience and I can't say that because for me I knew more infp's than isfp's then it means isfp's are more rare than infp's i'm bad at summarizing so i just type everything out, I end up typing a novel ahhh
I'm an INFP and my wife is ISFP. Been married 12 years and known each other for a year before got married. Can be tough at times (both very stubborn) I'm a talker, she's a doer and few other issues. But the pros outweigh the cons. I love her so much, she feels same. After 13 years I think we are doing well.
I'm an ESFP and what I think about ISFPs that they are so sweet, chill, and just so creative. I really like them
Thank you! I greatly appreciate everything people say about me as an ISFP. :)
Wow, as an ISFP, it boggles my mind that people would admire my type when I've spent a lot of time admiring other types.
I love INTJs, btw. I initially thought that I wouldn't get along with INTJs, but I've connected well with them. You guys rock.
I am a ISFP and I found what you said about being in social situations so funny and true! I tend to be so comfortable in myself even in awkward situations and observing what others are doing rather than speaking. I much rather do activities together like sports or be in situations where I can compete with each other is when I tend to come out of my shell.
meeeee
Isfp here, sounded pretty accurate from my experience. About the seeming to be comfortable with silence. I can appear like that but generally feel awkward. However depending on what external senses are happening it might be that I am so obsorbed in soaking in the sights or conversely being distracted by uncomfortable noise levels that I can just have nothing to say even if I wish I could say something and feel awkward for not saying anything. When I try to speak though it can come out wrong to the social group if I express discomfort with the loud noises or express my delight in the sunlight shining through the trees (likely because the first seems complainy and the second seems to come out of no where.) What I am jealous of is types that can easily talk to other people in social settings or with strangers. I have seen that in INFPs and also Esfj types and enfp but I am sure there are more. I get so knotted up in my own feelings about a situation or sensations in an environment that it can be difficult. Parties are aweful and sitting and just talking isn't fun. However, if you walk with an isfp in an art museum or arboretum or some beautiful place they would enjoy you can get some easy and great discussions going! Or if anyone actually gets together for knitting or some other hands on activity that can help the isfp to open up and remove the awkward feeling from the interaction. My husband is an INTP and it has been helpful to know that when he wants to sit in a coffee shop and talk about abstract concepts and his systems to understand them I can bring some coloring or knitting and I am able to listen and respond so much better than without something physical to focus on! Without something like that I will get really distracted and bothered with all the noise and sights and people and it is so hard to focus on what he is saying. He and I are quite oposites. He wishes that I didn't talk about feelings and liked the abstract stuff more, and I wish he could enjoy the meal I just made without worrying about something that may never happen. .. or that he could enjoy seeing the butterfly in a single moment instead of brushing the experience away or being bored with it. As for the third function Ni, I notice this most when I am reading. Sometimes when I am listening to a podcast, but mostly when I am reading I will get these flashes of insight where I feel like I habe discovered the answer to whatever had been illuding me previously. If I don't talk about it or write it down I will have a hard time holding onto this insight. Final function, Fe is probably what I have worked on the most in my life. All the books on organizing or simplifying. And moving my furniture to try something that might work better in our space! I never can be organized in a way that fits much of what I have read, but principles from these ideas have for sure gotten in and I have had to come up with my own way of being organized that allows for spontaneity and beauty. Thanks for your video! I am sure all the types envy other types in different ways. Isfp types like to honor the uniqueness of each person and my husband said I was the only person to just accept him, quirks and all, right away, which was really unusual for him to experience. I have been told that I am hard to get to know because they assume so much underneath my words and actions and don't realize that I am being genuine and don't have a hidden agenda. Some painful conversations when I was older about this because I was so clueless at the time. My friends were assuming a bunch of stuff and from my perspective I liked everyone and they were all great! So when I heard how they made fun of me behind my back it was really painful and has possibly made it harder for me to reach out to knew people. We have lived in our current city for over 7 years and I don't have a close friend. A smattering of pretty good friends, but nothing close. Everyone is so busy. I don't know if this is an isfp thing, but reaching out just a little feels like a LOT to me and if they can't come to an invite it just gets harder and harder to ask and be rejected again and again. The isfp pulling away and retreating when offenses happen is a self preservation instinct for sure.
You just wrote about me really really well! I have those exact experiences. I typed as ISTP 10 years until 2 years ago when I took the test again as ISFP.. even consistently. People always assume I have a hidden agenda when I’m just saying everything at face value and want to be taken as such. People read too much into me when I feel I’m pretty simple. It has definitely made it harder for me to keep people close to me, though I agree I have close friends. I think it’s easier to maintain friendship from a distance, even physical. I can’t sit still just talking and doing nothing and constantly have to be doing something hands on to communicate, even if it’s just having a beer in my hand! I definitely envy other types who can communicate flawlessly or easily with others, especially new folks.
Wow I can relate a lot! (Fellow misunderstood isfp😂)
Infp here. It’s cool to see what is inside your heads as I don’t really understand it half of the time. Thing is, we’re so similar and yet very different. I had a crush on an isfp months ago, we live in different countries so we could just text, but he (almost) never initiated if he didn’t have something specific to ask, so I just stopped reaching out as I thought I was annoying him or something. It’s a shame cause I really like how your minds work, you’re generally very interesting people but you trigger my fear of rejection a lot😂
I enjoyed you're post and the discussion. I'm ISFP. A lot of what was said I agree with. Right now I am struggling with dating and reaching out. It feels like such an investment with little pay off. I'm not great at it and maybe I'm approaching dating wrong as an isfp. Maybe there is a better way. Haha
Such an inspiring comment. Thank you really much for your honesty. In my opinion, it shows how reflected you are. It touched me deeply and I think you have a great heart.
Them talking about ISFP personality makes me feel exposed. Lol
My brother is an ISFP. Im INFP. I found out one time that my brother had told my parents that he struggles with me sometimes because all I want to do is talk about everything all the time and he doesn't like to talk much. He's a doer and im a talker. He couldnt bring himself to tell me though. I was going through a traumatic time once and needed to talk it out with him. He straight out told me he 'didnt want to talk to me about it anymore'. That being said, he's much more physically affectionate. Will put his arm around people a lot or give people 'noogies'. He is kinda rough with his kids. He passes them around with people asking if they want a hold. He shows love by physical contact. Rubs faces. Rubs noses with his kids. But always with the intent to find that barrier where its not harmful, but is still pushing the limit. He likes sport more than I. We're both artists and have spent many years on single projects. Our inferior Te is evident. We're both inefficient in our approach to our work. He's is much more quiet than me and also more stoic in a sense. But over our lifetime, its he who comes to me when he's struggling with emotional issues. On an anecdotal level... before i learnt about MBTI... i remember that my brother when he was younger used to have this obsession with the word 'mythical'. He would write it everywhere. On a random piece of paper near the phone. On a wall. He even carved it into the dining table. Then when I learnt about MBTI and Ni... i realised it made sense that he was interested in the mythical nature of the world. But so strange he would write it everywhere! also he is more worried about his image than me. He is also very hard to get in contact with. Will not (NEVER!) answer the phone. He calls you, you dont call him. If he calls you and you didnt pick up in time... he will not answer if you return it. He's more shut off from the world than me.... but has a greater sense of wanting to dominate it. to win.
C omg im also an infp and my twin sister is an isfp(?). She sounds a lot like your brother. She really hates talking about things sometimes even if its personal and will also tell me she doesnt want to talk about it anymore lol (lowkey offended) :p shes also better at physically displaying affection and stuff.. she has a strong urge to go out there and do something, make something, experience something. i love her though we get along very well, we are pretty similar but also pretty different :)
C same here I am INFP and my younger sister is ISFP
Erika X Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That makes so much sense. I basically CAN’T say things simply and to the point. Lol! (trying to keep this reply short ;) ).
After I found out about MBTI, I realized my ex-girlfriend was an ISFP too. So yes.. I have much love for ISFP’s
What’s not to love? Some of the most genuinely loving people I know.
I'm (well I think, I'm not sure, I did not go through an expert mbti) isfp but for an isfp for me part, when I have a problem, I like talking, at on the contrary, if I do not speak, I feel bad ... so, I think that not all isfp are like what you describe. After that I think that the enegram may play a role on it.
I have a brother isfp and he does not look like me, he does not talk much and he does more physical things than me.
@@Serafina_ i'ld say you're right. And I'll add my boyfriend loves to hear people ramble. But!... If he loses interest its just background noise. Which is comforting tho 😌👍 so he still values it
ISFP here, strong in all 4 categories. I definitely don't like to talk too much and would rather be active without jibber jabber, lol. Even intrnal jibber jabber can get exhausting. That's when I put on some music or go for a drive or just get away from people period. I can feel when I'm approaching my word limit where I MUST shut up. It's like I run out of words and have to spend time storing up again. I feel anger at having to continue to speaking past that point.
sunshinegirl1967 that’s so accurate, im Isfp too! :) ;)
Accurate how I do the same! Only if my fam understands this
Me too totaly hearn ya
Wow, that was a fun and educative video ^^
Currently one of my good friends is an ISFP. I am an INTJ and I agree with Alex that ISFPs are super cute-I find her REALLY cute-I don't know if she is like that intentionally (probably not), but that's how it looks :D
As an ISFP-INTJ relationship I see that I encourage her to accomplish her goals through my Te and she says no one motivates her better (wow) and maybe some deep conversations through my Ni-Fi which connects with her Fi-Ni , whereas she gives me emotional support and some aesthetic plasures in images, music and other stuff she finds :>
I love your videos, keep making them! These are such a fun to watch
I have three ISFPs in my family and they are all unique but some things I’ve noticed are that they are very gentle and kind and get along with most ppl. They are all extremely sensitive to criticism or anyone trying to push them. They run from conflict like their life depends on it. Self preservation takes priority over anything. They all need a LOT of alone time, and the alone time has a *no talking* rule. They especially don’t like it when I try to talk through problems with them (I’m INFJ) they get VERY uncomfortable and will do anything to stop it even be rude or mean. They don’t like to go very deep in conversations. They all like to get nice new things and to indulge the senses, a fine dining experience will make them glow with pleasure. They can be such contradictions I find hard to figure out. My husband loves indulging us all in luxuries that he thinks are good but refused to acknowledge my birthday for years and says he doesn’t need anything from me (ow, my heart). Sister sends me cards in the post just to surprise me. She tells me all her problems but doesn’t like to hear mine. They make their own rules up as they go along! Yet they enjoy formal classes for creative pursuits. They can be so stubborn they won’t do something *because* you asked them to or they feel it’s expected? I’m still trying to understand it. I was married for years before I realised my husband gets more stressed out than me but doesn’t talk about it or show it on the outside. They are lovely as long as their comfort is not threatened then can digs their heels and will fight and scratch to not lose an inch, lol. I’m quite independent myself so can cope with the introversion but I’m more chatty in my down time. I can see that it drains them, I try not to get offended when they run. They are awkward showing physical affection but they like it. I have come to accept the ‘pat, pat’ is actually them trying to be supportive not patronising me. 🤣
Wow, amazing description, I can relate to all the descriptions (except the last description of isfp's not being affectionate) of the isfp's who have been close to me.
This is so true for me except for the problems part. I always help others with their problems but i don't like to talk about mines with others.
I am an ISFP and found you both amusing and very accurate in your talk. I draw , and right now learning to play the drums. Love my alone time, like to watch people, usually quiet at functions, and always enjoy a good charge up by myself. I enjoyed your video.
I'm an INFP who dated an ISFP for 5 years. He was an artist. Gentle too. Not a great relationship, but I respected his authenticity. I really love that type.
I don’t know about other isfps out there but for me I know myself more than ppl do I always seem to be different in everything i do and i like it because I chose to be different even though i don’t know what i want in this life or where am going “just go with the flow “ but at least i can be nice & good to people i can remember everything if it’s bad good ..I don’t know but I have good memory i can remember things that touched my soul on deeper level . I don’t like talking about everything it drains my energy like i feel lazy or somethin it’s hard for people to get to know me if you ask every member in my family you will get different description because I know how to treat people in different way I don’t get angry or upset easily but i get nervous so fast but it’s not anger believe me u don’t want to see me when am angry the cute nice person will disappear from your eyes but that’s what happens when you try to cross on my values or people i care about
I'd say we have trouble connecting but at the same time just as comfortable being silent
As an ISFP, I just like existing in peace, I don't enjoy talking much, I'd rather just listen. For me accepting physical affection is very hard bc I feel very uncomfortable with if I'm not comfortable enough with that person, and it can annoy me a great deal.
(INTJ) ISFPs are probably the most common type among people I'm familiar enough to type. Most notable are a childhood friend, an aunt, a college roommate, a high school almost-friend, in particular. Examples aside, I find I can click with them easily and we often have the same, life long interests. However, they seem prone to mental health issues post-puberty, something I wonder is related to the weight of Fi emotions, Ni idealism, and the world pushing them to be Te. I'm not close to any INFPs and this probably applies, but ISFPs seem to get highly stressed when it comes to efficiency things like school deadlines. Half seem more easy-going and love the simple things in life (make good friends) while the other half seem more temperamental (make bittersweet friends). As odd as it may sound, my role either way tends to be almost big sisterly or that of patience, but the former ISFPs can also be my partners in crime (it's easier for me to be freer with myself if I have an accomplice).
Examples (aka, long version):
The childhood friend was an athlete, always full of energy, even though she limited her talkativeness to close friends and family. We get along even now because, like kids, we have the same interests like animals, nature, books, writing, and art. She's a nurse now and appreciates my science interests, even though overall I'm more intellectual and to her our interests are neat, tangible things in the world. Our communicate is largely second nature, though as kids she was easy to offend. As an adult though she's become less fun-loving and now trapped in the daily work grind with depression and anxiety. We can get into deep discussions on Ni and Fi levels, and we even have different support modes: she gives proper compliments ("You're so insightful!" "You're one smart cookie, you know that?" Very nice when compliments are rare and generic like grandparents you don't get along with send "sweet granddaughter" cards), and I encourage her goals.
The aunt is a stereotypical, conflict-avoiding hippie. She likes me a lot for some reason. She's also the only person in the family (she's married in) that's pro-emotion, which is nice for me because I rarely feel safe in expressing my emotions. But perhaps for her own depression and anxiety, she can be very clingy, which is odd when you're a kid.
The college roommate grew up sheltered with stereotypical, idealistic hippie parents. Like my childhood friend, we had so much in common and clicked. But you could say she was extra "young" for an 18 year old. She wouldn't tolerate other perspectives and was firm in standing up for hers--which were usually on one side of a given spectrum and often mocked by others. I was definitely the patient one in our dynamics. Loved and needed athletics and photography. Now getting a PhD in biology and studying songbirds.
The high school almost-friend is the closest to the ISFP full on stereotype. Moody artist. Loved black and anime. In many ways we clicked: we liked the same video games, same perspectives on characters including their ambiance and how they convey themselves through costume and movement, loved the same fictional books, both independent. However, her depression and anxiety started early and while school was in session she would do nothing but art and complain. I think she escaped in an odd way by constantly negatively criticizing her artwork--at least she didn't have to confront the world and its criticisms? She didn't want to help herself and wouldn't accept help from others, which was the primary frustration for me. I could see what she could do, how much we could do together, and how much I related to her depression (but I had it even earlier [12] and outgrew it by high school). Last I checked Facebook she was a graphic designer, adopting elderly cats, and still mentally struggling.
Hey if you need an ISFP for a video hmu :)
Dad is ISFP and he's blunt yet very emotional. Dad is a welder. We get along fine but we have butted heads before so 2 Fi doms can clash
I am an ISFP and my colleagues saying that I should talk/socialize however I just can't talk because I don't feel the need to talk, because I don't have something to say. We'll I'll talk if I have questions other than that I don't feel the need to talk. Lol
As a maybe isfp, I'm actually very self conscious about always being "the quiet one". Probably because I want something about me to stand out besides the fact that I don't say much. I guess I'm just no bueno with words.
in my head I'm always thinking in these situations, "If i don't have to talk. And I dont feel like it. Why should i? I dont owe anybody a conversations.
Recently discovered I was ISFP and totally makes sense and fits me I feel. Great video and great conversation regarding the topic at hand!
(INTJ) For me personally, ISFPs are the ultimate type -- the ideal that I wish most of the world looked like. When I've been in "altered states", I would swear blindly that I am ISFP, but even if I did join their hippy commune, it would probably be all of three days before I started looking at their electronics and mentally redesigning their computer layouts! For me, "ISFP mode" is never far from consciousness, but I've never liked my Te very much. I'm good at it, but it turns me into a jerk.
I've always found ISFPs _very_ easy to get along with, but that was before I had any MBTI theory behind me, which I think is a good thing. If you can't avoid bringing MBTI theory into your head, just realise that each person's third function is the other's lead function, and our third function in particular is something we like to feed, and that we're going to find attractive in other people. ISFPs love our Ni and we love their Fi, so just be your natural self with confidence. Working with ISFPs musically or artistically is indeed wonderful, and I find it effortless, extremely rewarding, and I could probably do it for the rest of my days.
INFP: I love ISFPs! (Warning: this is based on literally -one- (EDIT: two) people). There's no type I've had more "exactly!" moments with. Even if our views differ, I can see that where they're coming from is pretty similar and, with their ideas being more intensive and focused because of Ni, they can truly wrap me up in their words when they're passionate about something. I feel like we understand each other, yet, at the same time, I'm fascinated by their enigmatic behavior. I'm not sure if that's mutual; I could see it going either way. ISFPs catch my attention and bring it to the beauty of the world in a way I can't (Se), and I feel like I can broaden their attention to a more wholistic view (Ne). Our ability to make each other go "woah" never ceases lol. I'd like to get to know one better than I have so far, as, when circumstances stop making us meet, our Fi's can be so scared of getting hurt that neither of us initiate and we drift apart. Maybe I'd have more negative things to say if I did get to know one better, but they just seem like delightful human beings so far!
Ne parent with Ni child and Se parent with Si inferior really does the job. Just be aware that both Fi are based on completelly different perspectives (Ne vs Se)
@@OpportunisticHunter Si child*. Both INFP and ISFP have Te inferior.
That’s exactly what happened with me (infp) and my crush (isfp) talked for about 2 months with me initiating, and then i just gave up because of fer of rejection😩 what can you do
Thanks for making this video. I've been typed by 16 personalities test as an INFP, but I'm starting to think more and more that I'm actually an ISFP. Definitively very quiet and reserved, in the moment, zen type personality. Deeply feeling and caring for others, but also believing everyone should fight their own battles. Love animals and nature. Artistic. Philosophical. Aesthetics are important. Individual over group. Live and let live. Passionate. Adventurous. Mischievous. Moody. Judgmental. Always rooting for the underdog. Good judge of character. Observant. Self critical. Intuitive. And I totally admire INFP's unique creativity. I'm sorry, but I don't know any INTJs.
Captain-K'nuckles me too 😛😛
my boyfriend is an isfp and im an intj. just like alex i think of him as cute!! no one would think he's cute though because he's so tall. but i remembered that his friend say his fashion is very weird and it clicked to me "he's fi dom!" and for activity partners, i think that is very true, his se are making activities more exciting and making me open to experience new things whereas i actually want to experience new things but a little bit reluctant because inferior se.
ISFP here! The intense and solidified thing is so true! My friends always tell me I „seem like I have my life together“ like *always* and i‘m just here like ??? I really don‘t know anything about the future 😂 However I do think we have very strong values and morals that we like to defend stubbornly :p I like the volcano and lava analogy too 😂
Edit: Also the silent thing; I really *hate* awkward silences and am almost always the first one to break them but I do mostly like to lean back in group conversations and not lead them :) Just be in the moment and have fun:)
OMG, that is so true about the ISTJ! I work closely with an ISTJ and he often comes over to my cubicle to tell me about his dog or latest task or project at home in GREAT DETAIL. Or talk about the latest news in politics or health or the environment (our shared interests). Not always, but I (an INTJ) often am ready to wrap up the conversation way before he is. And he goes into a level of detail that is almost painful for me. It has become a joke between us that he will give me as much minutia as possible just to see my reaction (but he's actually quite nice about being understanding about it). I even tell him sometimes that I'm getting overly-stimulated and need a break or I have to get back to work. I really like him though and when he gets that way it reminds me of a little boy all excited about his latest thing. Aside from being so detail-oriented, I enjoy his company and find that we have a lot of similar interests.
This was crazy specific! Little details like being totally cool with silence. But like y'all said, some of us can get anxious because we know other people expect us to want to talk, so I have to make a Very conscious effort to make small talk with being I'm not super close to!
Thank you for making this! I'm ISFP and one of my best friends is INFP. I can definitely see how our Fi's could clash because we both hold to our values so strongly, and I think part of the reason we clicked immediately and are so close is because we value a lot of the same things and also kind of despise the same things, like superficiality and annoying power dynamics in social relations. I've been looking for more info on ISFPs because functionally I am absolutely ISFP but so many of the descriptions are focused on how S's are superficial or dumber than N's and have been really disappointing. I'm so happy you guys filmed this! I'd love to see a visual typing of an ISFP on your channel.
Tabitha I’m an ISFP, and you can ask anyone who knows me that I am the furthest thing from superficial. ISFPs can definitely have a strong intuition. Because of this, I have tested as an INFJ and INFP before. But since extroverted sensing is definitely one of my top functions, I know I’m an ISFP.
@@SinksYourBoat how do you know you have Se? How does it work or function in your daily life? I'm curious cause I can't tell if I'm an INFP or ISFP
John Oregon High Se users notice small sensory details in their environment. Whenever I drive around, for example, even if I’m lost in my head, I notice and can be captivated by visual details or changes on my drive, especially natural ones. Or when I walk into a room, the first thing I usually notice is the smell. These things can take me somewhere to my past, but I enjoy the uniqueness and pleasing qualities of them in the present. My INFP brother, on the other hand, is more about ideas, and can enjoy elements of nature, though not necessarily for itself, but for the ideas they represent. He’s always living in his thoughts and isn’t always aware of his physical environment. ISFPs enjoy nature and beauty for itself, INFPs enjoy it for what it means. At least that’s my experience. Hope that helps. Edit: Maybe not so much that INFPs appreciate the meaning behind things, but that the natural world may remind them of an idea or an observation that they’ve made and thought deeply through. My brother will see something and go off on a tangent that is, on the surface, completely unrelated to what he sees, but it will have to do about how he sees the world. I’ve learned to keep up only because I am used fo his thought processes. Ha ha
@@SinksYourBoat This was helpful, thank you. In my experience, whenever I see something beautiful or visually pleasing, it mostly works as a mood amplifier I guess. I may think about something else, like a certain feeling or something unrelated to the moment. Is that Ne? My guess is that I'm most likely INFP. Although, I'm not a 100% certain if I even have dominant Fi
John Oregon I’m not an expert on the functions, but I would assume that if what you see takes you someplace else, that’s more Ne. One way I can tell the difference between the two types is that INFPs are typically lost in thought about how the world COULD or SHOULD be, while ISFPs get lost in thought about how the world IS.
Right when they started talking, I knew exactly which was which. XD INFP's presence is super cute.
I think infp is cringe. The cute seems so put on
When I make myself to speak something due to others expectations it can get way more awkward,I literally don’t know what’s the right thing to say,sometimes I just make myself to say what other people would usually say but that’s just make me uncomfortable ,so not speaking is the best choice
You described the INFP and ISFP's approaches to having interests perfectly. I've retained a number of my interests throughout the years, but I tend to have shifting and varying degrees of focus towards them. I focus on one, jump to another one, after a period of time, return to that one. :) Typical INFP trait, it seems. :)
One more thing. I think no one is truly comfortable not communicating with others. Unless they are a psychopath. The extremely disagreeable ISFP I mentioned brings it up with me all the time, she think she’s so difficult that no one can stand her. Of course it becomes a complex. To care about other people’s needs/reactions is a sign of strength and health, not the other way around. Obviously you shouldn’t let yourself be driven by it in any way. Why aspire towards not carrying? I’m one disagreeable dude and it’s not easy life.
Robert Lindin this is true. I’m ISFP and I’m uncomfortable with my own disagreeableness but I just pretend to be comfortable.
I know people expect me to communicate and be more open but if I don’t feel close enough to certain people then one word answers is hard enough for me to manage and I wish I wasn’t like that, we feel the social pressures the same as anyone else but in this case it’s just something we don’t know how to fix.
I don’t like small talk, who cares about the weather? And if I don’t know you I won’t reveal my inner most thoughts, so what is there to actually be said? But it does make me uncomfortable.
I think ENTP aka you are the psychopath
The whole thing about INTJs envying those who can just be themselves and not worry about how other people perceive them is a something I feel as well. Alex, I hate to tell you this but it never goes away, at least for me I've just learned to hone it. I'm 50 and while I definitely have become more mature and have stronger boundaries so that I now choose to do what I want to do without guilt, I still think how nice it would be sometimes to not be able to be myself completely without worrying about that trickster Fe or saying something hurtful without realizing it.
I love the theory of activity partners!! I'm INFJ & my boyfriend of 3 years & my best male friend are both ISTPs and I think that our humour & conversations correlate really well. I also admire their ability to be logical with Ti when I am experiencing times of irrationality through my Ni overanalyse. And their ability to be present in the world with their Se while that is something I struggle with because I'm such a daydreamer😂 I just appreciate these people so much & I feel like I've always been drawn to these types. ESTPs have the tendency to intimidate me, but ISTPs I feel are more on my level.
I feel that if I am being irrational through Ni over-activation & over-analyse their logic comes in the form of Ti which I can relate to & in turn triggers my own Ti. i
When your an ISFP 5w4 SX, things get really interesting in many ways.
I'm INTP, my sister is ISFP and we fought a lot as kids (but who doesn't), though we reached a good truce and we now value each other's differences etc. But we're still so different and I struggle to really understand her?? You know how INTPs want to understand everything, but by some weird fluke she defies intuitive explanation?? It's like you said, she just exists, as herself, with her unique set of desires and dislikes; and I'll try to figure her out like "so what do you think about?" (Cause she's pretty quiet), and she's like, nothing really, and I'm like ???????? So then I go into my my Ti mind palace thing and consult my files, and I'm like, well she leads with Fi, and next is Se, so she feels things and does things??") So I ask her and she's like "yeah I guess, I remember something, then I remember how it makes me feel, then I feel those feelings all over, then I get drained and take a nap... etc"
So yeah, we're Super-ego I think, so it's all mystery on both our ends. I don't think she has the drive to *understand* like I do though, she just sort of accepts and gets occasionally annoyed at my weirdness. But we have enough life experience and memories (though I forget everything), and tastes in common that we enjoy each other's company and can respect our mutual difference.
Neo D'Lehoko This sounds exactly like my relationship with my INTP sister haha (I'm ISFP). We fought a lot when we were younger too but now we're on good terms. I sometimes can't explain my thoughts that well, I don't know why.
Black Rabbit Cool! Yeah I guess I've become aware that people aren't really doing the same thing when they're silent. My silence usually means exploring a line or landscape of thought, my sisters silence is not that at all, so I ask her about it but she can't really explain it either.
I don't really think verbally, I think in images so I get the difficulty in converting that into words, but she doesn't seem to think in "images" necessarily, and she doesn't really say she's "thinking", I guess she's just... being?? I dunno.
A good description I heard describing how an isfp shares their thoughts/feelings is through art in some way and it can be frustrating to have people ask the thought and meaning behind the art. Because all the tangle inside has been created in front of you and of course we know other people are unique and will interpret this art in a way that fits them and not us perfectly. I don't like it when people try to figure out an explanation for what the art means to the artist. As an isfp, I would rather know what the art means to the other person who is receiving it. My husband is intp so we have a lot of discussiins about our personality types. Isfp types seem to want to know or talk about what meaning or feelings an individual has in reaction to a moment, but intp types can't seem to decide what they like without an objective scale. It can't be internal with values attached because this seems hokey and untrustworthy (and it would be to them because they don't have Fi at all) the introverted thinking though that an intp has which isn't in the isfp stack is frustrating because one could make the case that it is just as subjective as Fi depending on how you look at it. We had a whole discussion on what makes food taste good and let me tell you! We did NOT have a satifying conclusion or reach an understanding with each other at all. He was trying to base his personal scale of food being judged good or not on an external factor of what is acceptable to consume and I was trying to narrow the scale and fine tune it to more specific points of goodness based on oersonal likes and we just couldn't seem to stop talking around in circles! My advice is that if you want to talk abstractly with an isfp and you are intp make sure you are doing something while talking. Enjoy a walk or a meal or a museum or something the isfp would enjoy and enjoy it yourself too, but bring in your abstract questions at these points. You might be surprised what opinions an isfp will relate to you. My husband was usual surprised at what I came up with just from my introverted feeling and extroverted sensing and introverted intuition. Also, if an isfp gives you clothing advice it is generally better to take the advice or at least try it a few times and just see if you get more compliments from the wider world. I suppose I should be thankful for my husbands co-workers that told him things that I had been saying for years that he finally took. He needed the majority of society to have an opinion rather than just me I guess.
You were too much admiring and startle at which the point you've hate it. Although in a comfortable situations you may get you still sniffing at what you might hate ISFP serenity, but actually you hugely hate at what the point of a louder sounds, right, INTP?
My sister is also an INTP and what these are words i commonly heard from her:
1. You’re a crackhead
2. U live under a rock
3. U’re so dumb
I dont mind tho cos its funny 😂😂😂👌
I once read that in the end Infps are overall optimists whereas Isfps tend to be pessimists, the melancholic artist sort of.
all the infp's I knew were super pessimistic and I tried to tell them things like "well u never know how things will turn out so u can't assume it'll turn out bad"
they all have depression but so do I lol
I'm isfp and a realist
I can't speak for other isfp's tho
Melancholic yes, pessimistic - never.
I think a lot of those of us who are ISPFs are actually very practical-minded and realistic, which can come across as pessimistic to others. We don't necessarily view the world negatively, we just see it as it is and don't sugar-coat anything.
I’d say we are optimistic realists I’ve noticed intuitives tend to go to worst case scenarios faster!
I dont think i’m pessimistic, i accept the harsh realities of the world and accept it with positive thoughts!
I used to think I was an INFP, now a few days ago realised my Ne is crap... But ages ago when I wrote a comment on this channel even you thought I had Ne by how I was writing lol.
Not gonna lie I think you're potentially ENFP, because the INFPs I know have to really tap into their Ne and be comfortable as to appear "bubbly" in any sense of the word. I see INFPs as sarcastic, secretly strong (not reactive to breakups kind of strong "this happened and this is why"), getting stuck in ruts despite their potential, not actually private - they open up shockingly easily and get nervous about what's about to come. I just don't see the INFPs I know in how you behave. I'm bubbly in a similar way to you though so I did get it before when I thought I was an INFP but... Yeah. I'm now also on team ENFP 😁😁 Sorry!!!
I'm also very private IRL and more so online like you've seen in other ISFPs, I open up in relationships and my art by using Se which is the only way to describe it. When I'm healthy I'm able to realise my love of the present. I also open up if someone says something stupid (ie. goes against my Fi values). I used to think my Fi and Ne were the same thing cause I'm quite philosophical which I thought was Ne.
What made you realise your Ne is bad? Just curious
4:35 my brother is an INFP- always has epiphanies and then does nothing with them. Cracks me up! Like, duuuuude. Can you please stick with something?
I'm isfp and would love to make some new friends if you're still interested in making some art together, maybe over zoom? ♡
I only realised you guys were not in the same room around the 1 minute mark. 😅
I am an ISFP married to an INTJ. 🤯 Its been interesting.... Let me know if you want details.
i do
@@natasdabsi1138 we are actually divorced now... If that helps 💔
@@jessiscrabby What happened?
@@honeybro3385 . He was never happy. It was always something that wasn't enough for him. I got tired of trying.... My soul got tired. 💔
INTJs are so funny... probably those girls I didn't know what to do when they agreed to meet me were INTJs and I am an ISFP who was way much bubblier at that time so I even began asking myself a lot in my head about what I might have done wrong for such unapproachable behavior towards me when we met in person...!! I was like... "yeah... there is definitely something wrong and I don't feel like compromising anything further, so I just acted back to the INTJs the way they acted to me... as if I was ignoring and never going back into contact ever again because the INTJs never took any initiatives so I assumed they were very disinterested in me to the point of ignoring...!
Next time I will know what to do.
But it is extremely difficult to have that in-person opportunity with an INTJ...!!!! I'd really love to have an INTJ girl-friend... I love Isaac Newton! He was more than a man...
There probably also happened a mean girl contest in college when I hooked up with the most handsome INTP in ALL of Engineering... The only girl in computer science class than me was probably an INTJ and as INTJs are also prone to be attracted to NTPs I probably initiated a path of destruction and definitely did not see anything coming, but now I look back and see. It's very wonderful to understand people... through Jungian psychology
ISFP here might come across as soft but not nesersaaly thinking nice things
I`m an ISFP. I`m not an artist, im a day trader lol.
James Byun you may not be an artist but I bet you are artistic whether it be good at acting or music or great sense of aesthetic style or good at creating. This is still all forms of art. I cant draw at all but am artistic in performing arts.
Even your whole being like the way you talk, dress and walk is kind of like performance art when you're an ISFP :)
Pretty sure I’m an isfp. I recently met an infp friend at school but after meeting up and actually hanging out outside of school I felt like she was a little stuck up so I kind of just stopped talking to her or making an effort to be her friend. Sounds bad but to me ig humility and friendliness is a huge value (Fi) and although I thought we would bond over similar personalities and also both being in the same art class she seemed to be very self centered and pretentious. But I have another infp friend who is like a fragile baby in my eyes that is usually just passive and puts on friendly faces most of the time even if I can see through them. I feel like as an isfp I can see through people a lot and see their motives even if they themselves may not be aware of why they’re doing something. But yea I was kind of disappointed to see how she was because I really wanted that friendship to workout but our Fis ig just didn’t match up
I will say a huge part of that was that I’m a Christian and she is not. And on more than one occasional I felt like she mocked my faith. And in theoretical conversations about space and if the moon landing was real she said “yea I’m not just some sheep I don’t believe in something just because I’m told to”. Which felt like a backhanded statement directed towards my faith. Which isn’t even true about myself and my faith in God. I wasn’t coerced into believing in God I had my own experiences. So her assuming that about me and judging me for it and being passive aggressive was a big turn off. All while I was just trying to have a fun random conversation about the moon landing - trying to be lighthearted and friendly. So tht really bothered me
This is so informative
I’m an ISFP and this is amazing 😂😂😂
Ohhhh🤭ISFP my beautiful hubby, yep he is all of that also with a temper of course 🤪😅😂ISFP 💯✅🥳ps. ENFJ here 😜😍❤️
Okay, I love you gals but I have to say it, as an INTJ, I am always optimizing. Alex, I think your bangs are getting too long. They are covering up your eyes! How can you see? Isn't that driving you crazy? I just want to see you with your face not all covered up. Better yet, grow out your bangs and totally get your hair out of your face completely. You have a pretty face, no need to cover it up. Was that rude of me? I guess it's sort of maternal of me since I'm old enough to be your mother. Anyway, you ladies are awesome! Thank you for your informative videos! I also like how you said ISFPs are like our hidden artist inside and I agree!!!! I've always felt I had a quirky artist in me but didn't understand it and never put much energy into it but have always been drawn to artists as my friends. Now I get it!
Uggh. For a private message sharing your opinion it's not rude. But to criticize her hairstyle publicly though in your maternal way is just mean. Can we have a full video of you to point out our public opinions?
@@gabriellavictory3080 Fair enough Gabriella.
at 11:00 you mention you (infp) dating an (esfp) would be fine, can you make a video about the twos chemistry? lol por favor
Guys, sorry if I got your names wrong. Alex(?), you’re the most energetic and bubbly INTJ I’ve seen. You laugh a lot! It’s nice to see. I once got my INTJ colleague to laugh until he cried, that was a sight.
Calypso(?), I’m not gonna make a video denying you your self-identified type ;-) but I think you’re likely ENFP. I know that introverts can be very outgoing with their extroverted function, especially when entertaining a subject they like. Which is obviously the case for you with MBTI. However, the amount of Ne and energy that’s comes from you compared to Fi and body- plus facial language that correlate with that is hard to fit within the INFP-frame. You like to throw parties?! I have multiple INFPs in my life and none even remotely similar to you. If not, you must have very high N+P preference and low I preference.
About the ISFP. I’m in contact with one that is as pretty much like you describe them. She got 0 percentile agreeableness on The Big Five. Lava.
Robert Lindin I have two INFP friends that acts just like her though.
Nah son, she is most def an INFP (from a fellow INFP). We can seem a lot more extroverted-like than the stereotypes suggest, especially when we are comfortable. But on the whole, we require a lot of alone time.
Mom, that was exactly what I wrote i.e. I know that introverts can extrovert when engaged and comfortable. But still… Anyway, seems like the empirical evidence is in. From a sample of six! We now have three “bubbly” INFPs (you included, must say your profile pic looks a little bit less bubbly though…) vs. the three more stereotypical quiet, reserved and introverted INFPs that I’ve come across IRL. Who would never throw parties on a regular basis and struggle to speak out for a longer period of time. I stand corrected. Don’t mind my sarcasm. Honestly, for what I know the MBTI types are oversimplifications that sometimes just not describe- and give justice to outliers.
Lol! It seems like maybe you're forgetting that people are individuals, and that we're also a pretty diverse type? INFPs come in many different flavors :) really that applies to all types though.
You’re funny, cause you reply stating the very same thing I’m writing in my comments. Hint: Read bottom part of my comment again ;-)
ISFP I'd say is more artistic than the INFP, the INFP is more about what's on the inside, if you know what I mean.
Andrew Teng yeah and ISFP's are more about what meets the eye, what's aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. It's not that we don't have deep thoughts and emotions, it's just that we prefer expressing that with beauty and art.
Hell ya brother i know what you mean. Ill make sure to tell that to my infp wife while im mfing boning her😈
I’m an isfp and I want to know the INTJ

@@mattsael8665 thanks broski
Isfp's are lifelong drawn to me, both genders for friendship and romance, an infj. Buuut, what is it with isfp's turning on me and you in a heartbeat? And having no qualms about using slander to attempt to ruin my/your reputation as revenge? Can they just NOT do that when they FEEL threatened or FEEL the need for revenge? They perceive my FE as fake while I am frustrated by their stubborn "emotion over logic" logic.
I've recently discovered that I'm an ISFP and suddenly EVERYTHING MAAAAAKES SENSE! So happy 😆🌸🌈🌟
ETA it's taken me a few decades to be comfortable with being quiet in social situations.
Correct. Fi is stubborn indeed
Trying to figure out if I'm infp or isfp. Also, do you guys have videos on infp and entj relationships?
Isfp portrayal: flowers and rainbows and butterflies and **for eternity**
Ghostemane, Sasuke Uchiha etc: **are isfps**
I'm seeing all these videos where people plaster 4 letter combinations to everyone they are talking about. How? Does it take you a while to figure it out or do you just know? Curious cause I can't do this to anyone I know unless someone directly tells me what they are.
Yessssssss, what she said
😆😉. 😙
this video would have been nicer if yall introduced who's the Infp and Intj hehe
That’s one reason why I thought I was an isfp before I really knew about the functions, when I was younger (OK IM PROUD OF THIS OK DONT JUDGE ME XD) I was actually naturally good at drawing . Blah ahaha I actually agree with you on the fi wars, I have a lot of fi dom friends and once in a while our fis will clash. I’ve been around a very unhealthy isfp for a while who liked me when I didn’t like him at allI really want to meet healthy isfp because I’m sure I would like them, I don’t want that one bad isfp to skew my perspective of something amazing.
Who’s the RUclips?
RUclips is ESTP.... it loves red
Most of what you mentioned is wrong. You need to either meet more ISFP people or read more about the type.
I have a hard time watching these videos because my heavy breathing keeps obscuring the screen : (
Personality Goals 😁😁😆
ISFP is rare and elusive? According to most Myers-Briggs surveys they are about twice as common as INFPs (me).
And INFP'S are twice as common as INFJ''S.
True...... But overall, INFPs and INFJs constitute the rare personality types, along with some other types like INTJ.
INFP: They're rare and elusive in terms of their prevalence in my life.
I always basically lived on the internet, games and social media (socially anxious isfp but is a lot better now)
sometime's I'd end up being friends with someone and I always have the tendency to ask if they can take mbti test if I got curious enough
all the closest friends I had happened to be infp, along with my last relationship and my current one were infp
so basically, I knew a shitload of infp's somehow..10 people out of 40 people I knew who took mbti (friends/family)(yes I counted, I have a lot of time on my hands LOL)
in comparison to how many isfp's I knew, like 3 out of 40
BUT this is just in my experience and I can't say that because for me I knew more infp's than isfp's then it means isfp's are more rare than infp's
i'm bad at summarizing so i just type everything out, I end up typing a novel
ahhh
5% of human population... No...
Am a is...
