MBTI

Defender

Sentinels ISFJ

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

'Me, too. I'm lenient with those inside my circle. Outside, nope. Animals are better companions to me, for the most part.

I was close! ISFP. My mom's awesome. :happy:

I would venture to guess INFP. I should ask her, just to find out. I'm curious now, if I'm right or not. I pegged my ex as an ISTJ, I could always read him like a book.

I wasn't raised religious, and my mom taught me and my brother to question just about everything (She believes in the Christian god, but doesn't practice anything). My brother's an atheist after...

I find it interesting that people seem to find the word religious so distasteful. I'm not, but I have friends who are very devout in their beliefs. It doesn't make me think any less of them. We...

I have several very close online friendships built over common issues and interests. I've spoken with most on the phone at the very least. I haven't met any due to money issues. And I only have one...

Shale I want to be you when I grow up!!! :wink: Seriously though, I agree with this. I'd rather be told something than left in the dark, even if it's something I don't want to hear.

1. Would you ever consider going bungee jumping/skydiving? HELL. NO. 2. Would you ever consider getting plastic surgery? (if yes, which part) Yes, boob lift, LOL! 3. Would you ever try...

Oh, Zen Lizard , that's a really big issue for me. Just move on? How in the world do you do that?!?!?! LOL! I'm learning, slowly. Working a lot on mindfulness right now. And reframing my thoughts....

76-100% You are 91% HSP. I already knew that I am one, just not the percentages.

Thank you Shale! It's funny, my last therapist made me watch Frozen because she thought I'd identify with it, and I cried through most of the movie. And my friend is REALLY good at diffusing my bad...

Don't worry, not going to post all the gory details. I'll just say severe abuse at a young age, and less severe abuse growing up. I've been diagnosed with quite a few things by medical professionals....

cheapsunglasses and QuirkyCouple Both good points. My actions and emotional states are more to the negative emotions than the positive. (Ie, more down than up) So no balance there. I don't see the...

I got Banker-Builder, too.

Oh, gods yes. I've suffered from anxiety for as long as I can remember, having panic attacks since I was 16. Last one sent me to the ER. Close minded, no. I'm pretty accepting of others differences....

ISFJ I have a very high pain tolerance, but a low pain threshold. (I can put up with a lot, but I feel it easily.) I have several physical issues that cause pain, so I'm used to it and don't notice...

I've been here on PerCaf for a bit now. I identify with ISFJ. But I believe I'm an extremely unbalanced ISFJ. I've seen the terms balanced/unbalanced if reference to MBTI types, but am wondering...

This response confuses me. re·li·gion riˈlijən/ noun noun: religion the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. a particular system...

HA! I get frustrated with my less polite friends. It doesn't cost anything except some words, and it can get you a long way!

I get freaked out by close-talkers. RESPECT THE PERSONAL SPACE BOUNDARIES!!! Stay at least an arm's length away. I'm afraid of heights, but only heights that I can fall and get seriously injured in...

Zen Lizard LOL, that was an afternoon of frustration. Mostly on my end. But I learned the basics that day, and YouTube has AWESOME instructional videos! Ehow.com as well. It's not for everyone, but...

I used to do this. I've trained myself out of it for the most part. I have noticed I do it more often when I am feeling insecure around someone. But that's me, I'm not sure if that's a general ISFJ...

I identify as agnostic and as pagan. Do I have an absolute belief in any particular doctrine? Nope. Do I think there is something going on beyond our ken? Yup. Maybe just coincidence, maybe something...

I eat books. Or so it seems. I'm a fast reader, but part of that is either re-reading comfy books or excited to find out what's next in new ones. Books have always been good friends. Knitting and...

I hate being Nurturing sometimes... It seems more enabling. I'm sitting at Meineke with my roommate's car. Getting the muffler replaced AGAIN. Because it fell off, and I have to be nice and help...

I would just say up front that I was venting or rambling or something like that. Or just as you said, Just need to get this off my chest. :wink:

I need 9 to function properly, would prefer 10. Been averaging about 5-6. If I don't get enough I get ticky and manic. ISFJ

When I start seeing that much caps lock and bolding for EMPHASIS, I start thinking conspiracy theorist and looking for tin foil hats... Of course, I don't think I made it through half the story.

As a child, I was very extroverted and assertive. (Read: Stubborn) Then stuff happened. And I repressed a lot of it. Then more stuff happened. My feelings were completely invalidated by everyone...

148714 :laughing:

I have been guilty of the same. And also working harder on NOT doing it. I don't want to be seen as a victim. I feel terrible that he did as well, but it's made our friendship a lot better. I'm...

Self-confessed social media stalker. It's more to find out more about the person without getting too involved/attached for me. I tend to attach to people pretty quickly, and it gets all...

Fynest One Most people I'm rather ok with not knowing me, LOL! With my INTP friend, I'm trying to focus more on asking him questions, because I kind of feel the same. We've spent so much time on my...

He felt his emotions were being trampled on, because he insisted on open and honest communication (He's been helping me immensely with some extremely personal issues and sharing personal information...

My F and T switch depending on when I take the test and what site I use. I identify more regularly with F, so that's what I go by.

I got in a huge fight with my INTP friend with this one. He thought I was being honest and open, I thought I was being honest and open. Then I realized I wasn't being completely open and he flipped...

Squirrely adjective Slang: odd, crazy, etc. I have brain cooties = crazy

Gods, this is so me... I keep that dark side tightly bottled up after doing just that to an ex. I never want anyone to look at me with the hatred he had in his eyes after that...:sad:

Where the heck are all these guys that like independent women?!?!?! I can never find any... Or they are too clingy, HA!

Physical Touch 9 Words of Affirmation 8 Quality Time 5 The other 2 are both 4

Yeah, that's me... :laughing:

We're practically neighbors, LOL!

US, Midwest (Near Chicago), and 7.

WORST. RESPONSE. EVER. I have a mental illness or three on top of being ISFJ, and I get that all the time. Just get over it. Quit being so sensitive. I can't help it!! Jerks. I try not to cry in...

Apparently, In Nature is the ISFJ hangout, LOL! Not a guy, but if I'm out of my apartment, that's usually where I'll be. Or if in public, I find the most private place besides the bathroom. Look in...

Ah like tall, skinneh boys... Height will make me notice someone. Physically I notice shoes, hands, wrists, eyes. I like intense and earnest looking eyes. Color's not important, but I don't care...

Me as a youngin in my favorite coat EVER. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/SquirrelyOne/1915712_213105400394_1599826_n_zpscc2301d1.jpg Aaron makes girls wrench in his driveway. (Learning to...

I knew I was ISxJ, it switches between F & T depending on the day, my mood, which way the wind is blowing... LOL! They are pretty close percentage-wise, but usually F. I'm learning a lot more about...

Hey, my best friend is an INTP. If we can figure out how to get along without destroying each other, I think anyone can. :proud:

You know you're an ISFJ when your avatar picture is from a blog highlighted in the You Know You're An ISFJ When... thread.:crazy:'
