'I'm very guilty of this. I tend to pick my battles and will let people think I agree unless it's something I believe strongly. Other times, I fear being judged by others for how I feel on a subject...
I'm on Facebook. I am mostly there to keep in touch with family and friends. I don't post much but when I do, it's usually the beginning of a rant or something I find humorous. I do more replies to...
My birthday was last week and my ISTP fiance got me some gifts. Before opening them she tells me, It's not what you want, it's what you need. My gifts consisted of socks, a sweater, a thermal...
I'm straight but my girlfriend is always cracking jokes that I'm gay. I tend to be a lot more sensitive and emotional than her. Straight folk in general make similar jokes about me but I've never...
I think you have a good first step with that comment. You're right, it really is easier said than done to cut someone out of your life. After failing to do this many times in my own life...
I can't stand when someone asks you for your opinion but then they get argumentative when you express it. I recently experienced this again and it really ticked me off. I was reluctant to give my...
I don't necessarily associate some thoughts to physical places so much as moments in time. I'll use the same example in regards to talking about my feelings. I often associate the thought of talking...
I tend towards being conscious of wasting things. That isn't to say I don't waste but more that when it happens, I am disappointed that it happened. I try to avoid wasting whenever I can.
I've learned that when I do communicate to be as specific as possible. I used to think she was just picking apart my words but she really places importance on the significance of certain words. She's...
I'm dating an ISTP and communication was disastrous for a lot of the above listed reasons. They don't like to talk too much and let body language do most of the talking. And of course, as an ISFJ...
1. Does it bother you if your platonic friend spends time with others or starts to get close to them? If so, how do you feel when that happens? Does it bother you more if you have just newly become...
What are some of the physical traits you find attractive? (not personality traits) Eyes are really what stand out for me. I think ChocolateLatte put how I feel about physical attraction best, I...
I took that test a while back. I got similar results but different percentages. I agree with the test though. I felt it was fairly accurate. Openness This trait refers to the extent to which you...
I'd love to switch to Ubuntu. If I didn't do so much PC gaming which requires DX, I'd probably have switched ages ago. I've installed it in times past and really like the interface. It's a shame that...
I'm kind of a computer geek so I don't really run into too much trouble but I thought Apple was supposed to be one of the more user friendly companies out there. At least, that's what Apple fans...
Infatuation always comes before love. So whether it feels like love or not, I usually keep it to myself. I know those are just euphoric feelings from the newness of the relationship and I really...
That could be true. I actually registered over a year ago but didn't start posting until January. :p
I don't know why I haven't posted in this thread yet. I'm a pretty big gamer. I'm mostly into RPGs when alone though. I'll play the occasional racer or shooter with friends but RPGs are my true...
Sorry to necro-thread this but I just wanted to give an update. Things kept getting more distant and I thought for sure I was losing her. We weren't even touching for hugs or anything else....
When I read your post, that's the first thing that stood out to me. When parents don't let their kids grow up and take on responsibility, you create a much bigger mess later on. I know people like...
I think my mom is an ISFJ and I know my grandma is definitely an ISFJ. I had trouble identifying my mom as an ISFJ because of her habitual lateness. When you take that away though, she really seems...
I don't tend to be protective of everyone. It is often people I'm close to. That's not to say that when I see a random person hurting that I don't want to help in some way. I'm just cautious so I...
I can relate to what both of you have said. I do have difficulty expressing my emotions. I have to feel 100% safe with someone before I express myself in an emotional way. Unfortunately, there's only...
I agree with everyone that we're pretty laid back in general. I think that we're all laid back in different areas though. This is probably mostly due to the fact that we base so much on our...
I can only go off of my own experience but I actually preferred it when the ENFJ I was involved with did most of the talking. :) And I really liked her because of how outgoing she was. So he's...
Indeed, I definitely agree with you. The fortunate thing is that we started off as friends so it only made sense to retain that friendship after everything was said and done. Not everyone seems to...
I have had a very similar experience to yours with an ISTP I was dating. Not identical but very similar. I can draw a lot of parallels. I was attracted to her for the reasons of her being pretty down...
Yes, I can totally relate to that. I hate it too because I love reading but I never really get anything accomplished since I have to try to read the pages again to see what I missed. :p
I can't really think of a lot of specific times. I guess it just seems like something I should be doing so I don't hold on to the memory, strangely enough. One thing that comes to mind though, and...
So, do you iSFJ's feel comfortable sharing your living space? I feel comfortable with it so long as my boundaries aren't crossed. It's easier for me to live with someone I'm committed to than a...
I was married to an ENFJ for eleven years. Though I don't have quite a tally in the amount of relationships I've had, I can honestly say that was one of the most awesome relationships I've ever had....
In general, I get to where I want to spend time with someone regularly when I'm developing feelings for them. The stronger those feelings, the more I want them around. I can be clingy from time to...
1. If you could only live on one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? I have to agree about pasta. So many ways you can do with it. Not to mention, it's a double score since I...
I've had two people compliment me on my unique perspective of things. I think it is an ISFJ thing. In this forum, I notice that even though we ISFJs may have different end thoughts on a subject, it's...
No, I refuse the treatment I would want the best for my child but I don't know if genetic enhancements is the way to go. Stress and anxiety are not things we should be ridding ourselves of....
I get like that all of the time. Sometimes I find a project or create one just to distract myself. Lately since being alone, I find speaking my thoughts out loud helps. I look for links in what I'm...
Due to the religion I grew up in, I didn't have any birthday celebrations. Since it was never a tradition that was experienced much, I don't really have expectations on birthdays or most holidays for...
Based on how you described it, I can't really say that I become attached in that way. It's not to say I don't get attached though. When my wife and I finally decided it was time to split up, I really...
Yeah, that's pretty much me...minus the handmade gifts. :) I just suck at flirting. So the most I seem to manage is to compliment the person. I can't help be a little jealous of my ENFJ twin. He...
I have perfectionist tendencies with some things. I work as a bookkeeper and I have a hard time ignoring small mistakes. I've been off in a balance by as low as ten cents and I'll try to track it...
My ENFJ ex-wife used to have intense dreams like that. One thing that always seemed true is that she was struggling internally with an issue regarding her perceptions of a person or group. Sometimes...
I mostly just like rock in general. A few of my favorites in no particular order: Def Leppard, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, The Cure, Within Temptation, 30 Seconds to Mars, Garbage, Stone Temple Pilots,...
I have to agree with teddy564339 about this being a difficult question for the same reason of so many variations and types. As far as love that I would feel for a possible partner though, I tend...
Results You scored 41.5 out of a total of 44. Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and...
No need for apologies though I appreciate the gesture. :) I appreciate you being so open to what I had to say. I honestly believe that when we are truly aware of not only our personality but that of...
I don't think that's fair though. I am sorry for the negative experiences you are dealing with in regards to your mom. I fully understand that some personality types can rub each other the wrong way...
I like the first approach. If it was me, it would leave me feeling that your not putting an expectation on me but rather really interested in how I feel. The second approach makes me just want to fix...
Personally, I don't do well with phone calls. E-mails, instant messaging, even texts give me time to gather my thoughts and express what I need to. I have difficulty making the first move. I've...
...when you make a promise to do something for someone and end up blowing them off. Also, I've agreed with all of the posts so far. I am guilty of all of those things. Maybe these things are in...
Wow, I really thought time ironed out these kinds of things. I hope I'm not insulting you, but without knowing your background, this issue sounded like something that might happen in the first few...'
