'Hey @flight97, I recently watched a dance in So You Think You Can Dance (China), and would like to share this with you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzHAXCzO7rQ. I was totally moved by this for...
Just came across this thread and would like contribute a few of my comments (I wish personalitycafe has an iPhone app that I can visit this website more often :)). I am an ISFJ male - and I can...
Hey angelfish. My avatar is a cute Japanese bear called Rillakuma. Thank you so much for the information and encouragement. To be honest, I am more into psychology compared to social work, the...
Thanks for the feedback, I have to admit that theory side of it is one of my concern, because ISFJ seems to prefer hands on/practical, but I think there is a lot of practical side of it too, such as...
Yeah, I think I would enjoy the same (i.e. building relationships, help people from their problems). Originally I was thinking to go for teaching degree too (another career that can help people), but...

Hey everyone, I am considering going back to Uni to study for another degree after graduated 10 years ago - just want to find out whether there is any psychologist or psychology major ISFJs here?...
Welcome to the forum! I can definitely relate all of the above. Being an ISFJ myself, trying to please definitely is part of my weakness, but I am very conscious now in regards to this and...
I read somewhere that ISFJ although normally won't lead because they like to support, but under certain circumstances if nobody lead, then they can step in and help out, be in charge, especially...
Same with others, I like to cook - especially bake. Also dislike cleaning up :) The reason I like baking is probably because it relates to happiness. Sweet treats normally make people happy,...
Thanks all for sharing your view and feedback. I feel better now.
Thanks all - it is quite interesting. Imagine the following situation: You went to community event and get to know an elderly that live by herself. She does not have kids and normally just...
I watched a soap drama this evening (do you like soap drama too?) and in the drama it mentioned about hero complex, which I felt quite close to me heart, so I googled the term and found this link Is...
My partner called me turtles - that said it all :) I guess a few traits: - Require quiet period by myself - to think and chill (in the shell) - Quiet when meeting stranger for the first time...
Arrgghhh, that is exactly what I am planning. I resign from my current work, spend 1 month to explore and get my certificate, while looking for other opportunities, area of interests. After one...
I have no family to support besides myself, and have an investment mortgage but under control. So financially I think it is OK for short term (ie 1-3 months) without pay but after that, the...
Yup, If I take the leap, the first thing I am thinking is to get a certificate that allows me to teach/train in my area of expertise, while this allow to support myself, I can perhaps explore other...
Hi all, Recently I am having some career crisis (or midlife crisis :)) myself, where I feel I no longer enjoy working in my current job after four years. I am a software developer (IT) for 10+...
What makes ISFJ cry? I am a male ISFJ and while it is a bit embarrassing to admit that but I tend to think crying is just being true and honest to your feeling and emotion. Movies and some music...
Teddy - One thing I am sure is you are not alone and it happens to me, and all other ISFJs. You are connected with all of us in here. And in regards to not to be liked - I thought we (ISFJ) are all...
I have read a couple of posts here about INTJ and ISFJ are quite opposite and appear to be no-no in relationship wise. However interesting enough I also found a lot of INTJ+ISFJ partners in here too....
I like the intelligence and bluntness of INTJ, actually admire and respect them (don't think ISFJ or just myself can ever give an honest opinion straight in the face of someone) :). I find INTJ...
Time will come pixie85 don't worry. Moving in and live together is the first step :) I enjoy decorating my house and re-arranging furniture so that the house looks comfortable and homey too. Read...
Hi all, I know this could be a boring topic but I am interested to know for all ISFJs: - If you are currently working, what do you do for living? Do you enjoy your current job and what aspect...
ISTJ (Many years) + We are quite similar in terms of how we approach a problem, or making plans and actions. When it comes to activities, we always know each other what we are going to do, and can...
I never understood myself too :rolleyes: - guess that is what make us ISFJ
I am an ISFJ guy and I love twilight series. The storyline is really engaging and the love between Bella and Edward just makes my heart melt :). Is ISFJ normally the romantic one? Start following...
Hmm, don't know about other ISFJs, but I have similar experience (with me being the ISFJ) with my partner a while ago - before I am more aware of my emotions. Basically I will behave in a similar...
Don't worry John, same boat here - ISFJ male. Well I don't normally get comments about feminism, but some feedbacks are along the line of gentle, sensitive and soft spoken. The worst (or best)...
It happened to me once where I met this new friend that I really like - although he didn't tell me his MBTI (he did a test before in uni but forgot), based on several observations, I am quite sure he...
I consider myself pretty quiet most of the time, especially in a work environment, such as meetings. But I am learning how to express my opinion more but if too many peoples are talking at the same...
1. Happy are you? 7 2. Socially skilled are you? 5 3. Lazy are you? 3 4. Emotional are you? 8.5 5. Book smart are you? 7
Thanks Teddy - I definitely know what you meant by the state that you described above. When I sulked (normally at home), I will keep to myself quite a bit and my head will replay the event over and...
Thanks for the post. I was just thinking to create a new thread posting the same question about ISFJ sulking topic, but you beat me to it! :) I am ISFJ and definitely have silent sulk syndrome...
Thanks scamper! I found it really interesting with the points that you made above because I agree with every single one of them - it is very surprising to read and it matches exactly how I would...
Great work pneumoceptor and teddy! Just came across this post and I am really happy to see who is the real guy that we all known as the ISFJ teddy! :)
Books definitely big part of my life as I love reading. And surprisingly I like to go to library - perhaps because it is quiet. I enjoy browsing books in the library without any goal. But will feel...
Great choice bknight554! I haven't read this book before but reading the description, I think it will be an inspiring and heart warming book - that an ISFJ will like :)
I am starting to see myself changing over the years, like what you said above, no longer be empathetic, which I really really don't like about myself. I guess this could be the result of being taken...
- Playing Piano - Read - Surf Internet - check out latest technologies, or research/read reviews/find the best deal if I am buying something - Watch movies - Play PS3
Thank you for starting this thread - I am ISFJ male and similar to you, I am quite strong in Feeling. Most people see me as a nice and gentle person, no temper, patient, soft spoken. I definitely...
Hey bknight554, I am guessing here - you as an INTJ - most likely will cringe when it comes to touchy feeling stuff - but as an ISFJ, I love receiving hearty messages/words - unfortunately as a guy...
As a ISFJ, we normally do things for others but don't ask for any return. However if someone did give us something that we like out of the blue, then we will feel we are being loved and appreciated,...
Peoples that are arrogant, vanity (no substance), ignorant, pretentious, dishonest, opportunistic, bad motives, dominant is okay but do not control every single thing that I do, controlling, loud and...
thank you (eventhough you are the customer or you help someone when they come around and ask you for help) sorry (even though you have done nothing wrong) let me know if i can help ...
Thanks for your reply and I find this interesting too. I have done the full mbti test and I am sure that I am ISFJ. I have a ISTJ friend and i can see vast difference between me and him in terms of...
Love dogs! Cute puppies are my favourites - labrador, golden retriever - they are sooo cute! Although would love to own one, but don't think I can take care of them while I am working. I like cats...
Thanks PlushWitch for the info about cognitive functions, do you have any good reference about cognitive functions?
Piano and violin are my favorites. As I am learning piano at the moment, so playing sheet music is all I can do. However imagining if I am a pianist, then I still prefer to play sheet music , maybe...
Haha PlushWitch - like your emoticons above when you mention that your husband is not gay :laughing: Yeah I am guessing maybe he is sort of in the middle between T and F, so it doesn't come...'
