Defender

Sentinels ISFJ

Very dedicated and warm protectors, always ready to defend their loved ones.

'After watching tons of her interviews, I feel almost sure she is ISFP. If not, 2nd place would be INFP but that just didn't seem quite right...I saw Se, not Ne.

Yes... I can be lazy at times and definitely procrastinate. However, when I DO start working on something, I see it to the end. I have bursts of inspiration and energy as I believe someone else said....

I'd like to say I'm good at telling jokes because people generally do laugh. Sometimes I think they find the way in which I present the joke funnier than the actual joke. Also, when they can tell I...

I'm also known as the funniest in my family. I'm the only ISFJ and also the middle child. Humor usually comes naturally for me and many times I'm not even trying to be funny, but people still laugh?...

I adore the song 'New Shoes' by Paulo Nutini. Check it out. Always puts me in a good mood:)

How does an ISFJ act when they are... grumpy? annoyed? sad? depressed? tired? embarrassed? angry?

Most definitely. :)

I would like to think the whole - getting bored/annoyed with people that dominate the conversation and make it all about them - is just a courtesy thing that many personalities would have a problem...

People that bore me...hmmm - people that aren't willing to try new things and whenever you talk to them they never have anything new to say - they just go on and on about their one interest and it...

I wish I could pick more than one type because there are many - ENFP, INFP, ISFJ, ISTJ... Like many others have said, I enjoy being around most types. If I had to pick my top ones though, they would...

I would say definitely! I think it's that second function of ours Fe, which is pretty strong, that makes it that way. We have a big desire to connect with others.

I wouldn't say that is out of the ordinary at all...for ISFJs. Ha believe it or not, last year, I wrote down good things that happened to me throughout the year and I would put slips of paper in a...

Like earthtopaige. I have an ESFJ mom and ISTJ dad. I don't really feel like my mom understands me very well, we're very different. I think it's that extroverted feeling of hers that is at the helm...

what did u find most difficult in school? I hated feeling held back. The slow pace of school and all the time wasted. I didn't like how teachers played favorites, this was very obvious to me. I...

I don't know if this is an ENFJ tendency or not, but please let me know. I have an ENFJ friend who takes the smallest of things personally, out of context, jumps to conclusions, etc. She also jokes...

I think we are under-credited for our overall ability to do just about anything we set our minds to. I really mean that. It's crazy cool because so many people out there limit themselves or really...

So I just want to take a moment to appreciate ISTJs! I have an ISTJ in my life that I am very close to, I appreciate many things about him, but a main one being his ability to just turn caring about...

Okay, first of all, ISFJs aren't really going to spend a lot of time around people they don't care about or don't love. I can almost tell you without a doubt that her saying I'll always be there...

Ha...I like this thread. ISFJs stubborn? Ha yes... YES. However, it is only about certain things. I wouldn't call it a consistent quality throughout everything at least for myself. I admit, I can...

Asking an ISFJ what their favorite movie is, is like asking a fish to walk on dry land.. haha. Well, there are so many but if it hasn't already been mentioned, 'A Walk to Remember':)

793 - The Ambassador

Yes! I love to journal. My journals work as a place to vent in order to get weights off of my chest, understand myself better. Sometimes I use them to work out internal problems, or external problems...

Yeah, I noticed the functions and why they were arriving at the answers as well. What I meant by well-rounded was from the standpoint of giving a better understanding of the object to the listener -...

How would you define love? Love is what life is all about. From my point of view, everything should be done out of love for others and love for God. Love is acceptance, devotion, kindness, trust,...

I thought it was all well said but you hit the nail on the head with this part.

Be introspective and open to changing for the better.

Yes!!!! Yes! (from the hilltops) You made some great points in your whole post but I really liked how you wrapped it up. I think this is one thing this thread has been trying to get at the whole time...

It seems that an ISFJ can truly blossom when they have gained confidence in their own skin. It opens up so many doors. But it does happen in baby steps. The transformation is amazing when it happens....

Slowly starve here and there... haha

Thanks for your response! By this I just meant - do your close friends provide these things for you? If so, how? Also, are these things a need of yours in a close friendship? YES! I definitely...

Hello everyone:) I have been trying to catch up on reading all that has been posted, so that is why you haven't heard from me in awhile. This thread has been very interesting for me and I too am glad...

What if you're just imagining there is a half a pizza there? What if you took a bite and then became cursed?:0 And then...you had to eat pizza the rest of your life because a your fridge turned into...

I actually have noticed this about myself and sometimes felt weird about it, now knowing how to stop... however I don't really think it is something I need to stop. I even sometimes worry about how I...

I agree with what you are saying here - I think you make some valid points. Much of this has already been mentioned in the thread, especially in a lot of Teddy's posts. I think it will give you a...

Yeah I definitely think it is good to be straight forward in asking an ISFJ if they like or do not like something because they are going to be less likely to just say it because they don't like...

YES! I can definitely relate to this. I think it all depends on how much I really see the need to voice my opinion about something or how serious the subject is to me. If it's something that I really...

Also a few more that I meant to include that are probably some of the most important I would ever like to hear: I admire that you stand by what you believe regardless of what others may say. You...

Yeah I agree with several things mentioned so far. I do like compliments, but as it has been said, they have to be genuine and I would much prefer a compliment about who am as opposed to what I...

Hello ENFPs!:) It being New Years, I find it interesting how different types deal with New Years Resolutions. So, what kinds of New Years Resolutions do you ENFPs make, or do you make any? ...

Happy New Year INFJs! What kinds of New Years resolutions does an INFJ make?

Thanks for your reply! Why do you think it works so well? What negatives are there?

I've been doing some thinking about the whole surface vs. deep thing. The longer I've been on PerC (which hasn't been long), the more I've noticed in various threads the contrast between how Ss view...

It's possible we would clash a bit. lol. What brings up this thought?:) Do you want to be an ENTP?

Did you mean ISFJ?

This makes sense. Cool:) Good deal, I think it's definitely good to just have time to figure things out!

Your dad seems really picky and doesn't sound like a stereotypical ISFJ. So I could list several kinds of gifts that I like to receive but I don't think they would apply to your dad because we seem...

I would have to agree with you when it comes to INFP vs. ESFJ in dealing with conflict. I have an ESFJ mother and conflict is terrible with her. I actually can relate to everything you said. It...

I see the similarities in that both types can get emotionally attached to things, but they deal with it differently (at least me and you). I see it as kind of a reverse in this instance...in your...'
