'How often do you stay up? Any time I have the opportunity. Sometimes I will make myself go to bed early if I have to get up the next day earlier than normal, but I usually push the limits...

Sun: Aries (Fire - Choleric) Moon: Virgo (Earth - Melancholic) Rising: Scorpio (Water - Phlegmatic) No wonder people find me confusing at times.

I wasn't a huge fan of classical music when I was a kid. My dad used to force us to listen to it on long car rides. My sisters and I preferred the popular stations, of course. But, I loved playing...

Boring, technical possible answer here... I think Se and Ne can have a tendency to come across as playful, which can come across as child-like to some.

I feel for you. :sad: I lived with my in-laws for a few excruciatingly long months. (To make matters worse, I was also pregnant with morning sickness at the time.) I don't know my...

Yes, we are best friends and mindmates. We laugh a lot. Not too many fights, but when we do fight it's pretty big. Then we return back to our usual ways which usually include the same habits that...

I always thought I was an obvious introvert, but when I told this to my sister she was pretty surprised about it. So, I guess I don't always come off as being introverted. If I am comfortable with...

I am married to an ENTP, enneagram 8. He is very charismatic, and can be a pretty big jerk to people when in the right mood. A charismatic jerk. He pulls it off somehow and he can charm most...

Music, Self , Spatial

1) What is your current career/occupation? Piano teacher 2) Do you enjoy/love it...or just do it because you need to? I do enjoy it. I don't like the business side as much as the teaching...

I have a Bachelors of Music in Piano Pedagogy

I think your insults and name calling is very Infantile. :P

You draw really well! If you are drawing people, I've noticed the feeling is mostly in the eyes. That is usually where you look to tell if someone has a genuine smile. So perhaps experiment with...

Since I started the whole control thing, I will try to explain a bit what I meant. I can only speak for myself here. I am just getting through a time in my life where well-meaning people...

I agree that it really doesn't matter.

Same difference in my mind.

Sorry, I gave you advice that you did not want. To answer your original question. No, I don't think ISFPs are any more selfish than any other type. I forget that my ENTP husband has feelings...

The biggest thing that I learned from being in a long term relationship (18 years) is that you need to accept the other person as they are (it took me 10 years to figure this out). If being on time,...

I still don't see your point. Everybody has a different idea of what a pretty little thing is. If I collect pretty rocks and seashells from the beach, would that make me materialistic? If I...

One can be attracted to pretty objects without needing to own them. So, if we are going to get picky, the question should be if ISFPs value beautiful objects more than spiritual, intellectual, or...

I can relate to a lot of what others have said here. I had one friend that I have really good memories about. I enjoyed being with her because she was my first friend that I could spend 24 hours...

I have only really been in love once, and I am married to that guy. The love I feel now is quite a bit different than when I first met him. In the beginning, it was like an incredible rush every...

My husband complains that I speak too quietly and tend to mumble. Then when I try to project my voice to answer his question, he accuses me of yelling at him. Can't win. lol. Both my older sisters...

I have at least one friend that really enjoys his cannabis. I'm not about to hold that against him. He's a pretty good guy. I just wanted to represent a different side. (In other words, I like...

I have a problem with this too. It just happened to me last night. I haven't found out a surefire cure for it yet, but some nights I have success with getting up and doing some form of exercise. ...

For me, unless I have had a really, really bad day, I default to the gentle, understanding side. Which if I am not careful, can turn me more into an enabler than anything else. I have had to ask...

I still make lists, but I am getting smarter about it. I don't spend all day doing it. I don't make lists that cover more than one day. And, I am finding that a list of about 3 things is just...

I also agree with RyRyMini. I think the strength lies in knowing when to act and when to step back.

The only drugs I've used are caffeine and alcohol. I can get a pretty good psychedelic experience by closing my eyelids and looking at the pretty patterns. I can also get a pretty decent high when...

I am a night owl, and like to sleep in. I usually sleep on my side near the edge of the bed. Hugging a pillow is nice. :) I have to have the blankets down by my feet loose. I can't stand having...

I am often attracted to Extroverted people, because I feed off of their energy in social situations (I just made myself sound like a parasite. haha.) I am a completely different person depending on...

I never thought of that possibility. That is really freaky. Now I am going to have to find a way to forget about it. lol.

Yes, the only solution that I can think of for me to be really organized would be to get rid of the unnecessary stuff I don't want to deal with. But, I haven't figured out how to keep the stuff from...

The older I get the more I look up to my father. He is not a perfect man by any means, but I can look back and appreciate his (and my mom's) decisions on how to raise my sisters and I. They were...

I don't mind that you talk about yourself. It was interesting that you mentioned that ENTP's thought of themselves as machines, because my ENTP husband says that about himself often and he takes it...

My husband has this amazing potential that is mixed in with some pretty strong self-defeating behaviors. He has an incredible vision in his life, but doesn't always take into account other important...

Just me again. I just found this bit of verse. (edit to add that I found it at infj.com) My husband tends to take the fixing attitude about life, I tend to take the serving attitude. I have some...

I have noticed that I am one of the few people that is immune to his charming ways when it comes to influence (though I am probably not as immune as I think. lol.). He has amazing powers of...

I see a lot of my husband and me in SphereOfSilence's post above. I am 35. I started dating my husband (ENTP) the end of our junior year of high school. We had a rocky romance through college...

Wow. I started out in the ISFP forum and started a thread about organizing. It was politely ignored. lol. I let the ENTP in our house do the mopping. He is much better at it than I am.

If I have typed my husband and myself correctly, I am an ISFP married to an ENTP. We have been together since 1992 ( I am too lazy to do the math at the moment). I would not call it an easy...

When I first took the personality test, I tested as INFP. I guess I may be one, but it didn't seem to fit me. ANd the funny thing, like HandiAce wrote, I have some sort of need to be in the...

My husband is an ENTP. The genders are switched here, but maybe this will help... We met in high school. He pursued me (which was an abosolute thrill. he once ran 3 miles to my house because his...

I can relate to a bit of what you are saying. I worry a lot about things that I cannot do anything about. It will cause insomnia to the point where I am still awake at 7 am and I started to worry...

I have a tendency to want to do everything myself, too. I do not work well in groups. I often take over the project and micro manage things. It may be that I do not trust others to do it up to my...

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

For me, I just like things to be a certain way. If they aren't in that certain way, I get a little obsessed over it. I don't do this for everything, just certain things. I think I am more...

When I first met my ENTP husband in high school, he was an overly honest person. He was fearless when it came to telling the truth, and would often use it to shock people almost to the point where...

I used to pride myself on my abnormalities, I am slowly working my way back to that peaceful existence. I think preferring books and tv shows over people is definitely an introverted thing. I...

My grandparents used to live in the middle of nowhere. When they moved to a new house, my grandma packed up all the things that she liked and wanted to keep. Then they left everything they didn't...'
