'I find it easier to be assertive when I lean back on my personal feelings and values (Fi) because I am confident in them and find them easy to defend. So I'll start by saying Here's what I feel and...
I have some ENTP friends. I like them even though I don't get them. They are amazingly interesting and entertaining people with good hearts, but they can also be grating and confounding too. I'd...
I like one-on-one time too, much more than I like being in groups. I especially like doing an activity like hiking or music or going out for dinner or to a movie/show with one other person. Sometimes...
1) I don't actively seek it out. It just gets subconsciously triggered somehow. Like by listening to a song or visiting some place I used to go to. I sometimes can't even remember old experiences...
I'm good with it. But I see it as a general interest in and appreciation of the Arts, which includes applied arts and design too, not just painting and drawing and stuff. That's just one particular...
True. And that message can be helpful. Hey, if people are getting something out of it and feeling better, then that's great! I'm all for happy people. :) My comment about feeling real is more my...
I'm really not very good with foreign languages. I'm trying to improve my French because in Canada it's helpful. I also speak some Spanish. How well do most ISFPs do with learning different...
Yeah, I have been. Mainly by co-workers and casual friends. I think people who are close to me have me figured out much better. Although even a few family members don't seem to get me at all.
It's not just you, dude. Falling in love is easy and staying in love is confusing. Except when falling in love is confusing and staying in love is easy.
I like hopeful stuff, but for me it needs to be grounded and feel real. I like hacks that teach me how to change something in my life to get different results. I think my problem with Tony...
Being away for over a month means I'll never catch up! :D But I'm glad to be off work for a bit and hope everyone has a great holiday if that's a thing for you.
Yeah, I see Enneagram as interesting, but not as rigorous as MBTI. I like the dichotomy part of MBTI, in that by being T we can't be F, etc. Someone can be in the middle, but they can't be strongly F...
I can get inspired and self-motivated about something and then I'm incredibly productive! But if I'm not in that mood, then it's really tough. I've read some of the Highly Effective Habits of...
Magic potion? Pray to the moon? We won't really do anything we don't want to do! But being a friendly, calm and pleasant person; doing stuff together with us; seeming to enjoy life; and looking...
I'd finally read all those novels I said I could read if I had an extra 6 hours a day! :D
I haven't really played that many, but wanted to add another note for Morrowind/Skyrim. Fallout is from the same developer and is also good. A number of years ago, I liked Katamai Damacy for its wild...
I often get injuries, but play through them because I don't notice. I push myself too hard, I think. Just get caught up in stuff!
I was quite disapointed after it happened. But now I'm just sort of resigned. I don't really want to read more analysis anymore, or even more news. It's no longer helpful. I am still going to be...
No, not at all. Something like Yoga is interesting as a meditation/mindfulness exercise (and as literal stretching/exercise). But all the pseudo-astrology things, no. Same thing with all that...
My memory isn't very good. If something had a personal connection for me or generated strong emotions, then I remember. But details of things I worked on, or commitments I've made, not so much. I...
Tintin for sure. I loved the Herge books when I was a kid. I think both Marty McFly and Simba are ISFP, although some say ESFP for both, and there are a few votes for Simba being NFP (which he is...
Yeah, I can relate. Especially for romantic relationships. I had to really know someone before it felt like a real relationship. I'm happily married now, but back when I was single I didn't even...
I know quite a few and yeah, they can be chilly. In an almost spooky way. The well-rounded ones will open up when you get to know them. Others are just focused on their job and vision and don't want...
Google just assumes everyone on the Internet in an introverted intuitive type. They probably aren't too wrong!
I felt really calm and happy this morning because it was bright and sunny for the first time in a while, and with Daylight Savings over it was much lighter outside. Then I realized I hadn't set my...
I've been quiet lately. Work has been incredibly high-pressure and aggressively chaotic. The atmosphere has been tough on me. I just want to have my space and get my most important stuff done, but...
Yeah, I do this too. For stuff like locking my car up, turning off the stove, turning lights off. These trivial things just don't make it to my memory, so I can never remember if I really did them. I...
My favorite novel is On The Road with maybe World According to Garp as my runner-up. I like books that are atmospheric and dreamy like Sheltering Sky, Perdido Street Station, Life of Pi,...
I'm usually in the ISFP section ... been really busy lately but like to stop by at least a couple of times a week even if I don't say anything. Sometimes the SP forum too. Not so many other places...
Great thread ... and I really like your thoughts here. :) We're also very skilled people, who frequently have good hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, and along with our keen sense of...
When I get excited about something, I want to learn all about it. Like with a new skill, I want to practice all the time. Like right now I'm taking squash lessons which also has actual games, and...
It would be interesting to experience some cool eras from earlier times. I think the roaring 20s would be fun, and then I think it would be neat to be in the 60s in San Francisco with all the...
Yeah, I love nature. Like going out to the woods and hiking in national parks and wild places or doing some camping (not the car camping stuff, but hike-in camping). I'd love to do the Appalachian...
I wasn't a bad kid, kinda quiet but not good at following rules sometimes and sometimes a little defiant. But not a real intentional troublemaker. I got along well with some teachers, but there was...
I would like to check more, but I get so busy.
Well feeling and thinking are judging functions. But in MBTI we call people J or P based on their first extroverted function. So IxxP are perceivers. In Socionics it's different and Ti/Fi dominant...
Seems very prototypical ENFP. Dreamy, imaginative and gentle. Yet with a keen wit and fierce energy and idealism. Watch him take on the Red Baron! He isn't enough of a trickster to be ENTP (compare...
Personally, I find that I remember things much better if they are concrete and specific, like let's see movie x this Thursday and go out for drinks afterwards. If it's something like text me or give...
I think I was a little harsh last night. There are some interesting concepts in Socionics like quadras and some good notes on relationships between types, like doubles and mirrors and duals And...
I got ESI too but didn't really like the description for either that or SEI. The socionics sensing descriptions are off and it makes it confusing. The Se description has Te overtones and Si is more...
I got distracted so easily at home (TV, books, music, whatever) that I found it best to leave my flat and go to someplace where I had no choice but to study. But not the library or anyplace too...
Thank you so much for doing this. It's so important and it's great that people stand up on these sorts of issues. Much respect! I think this is an excellent analogy of how ISFP helping tends...
I would agree that a single person can't usually make a worldwide difference. I didn't mean this in an idealistic NF sense. But I think we can still do positive things on a local or personal level....
Sometimes in real life or the movies we see or hear about ISFPs (or any FPs for that matter) wanting to make the world a better place. Do you do anything specific to make the world a better place? Is...
Well it's time for an adventure
I'm Canadian, but I love traveling in Europe! Some places I've really enjoyed visiting already include England (been there several times), Belgium (really! Beer and chocolate are very good and Bruges...
Sure thing! It's been idling round in my head. But I'll pull it together and probably post on the Myers-Briggs forum once I'm through a current busy stretch. :) I'll have a look at the thread you...
Hooting and hollering is all right. Parrots are good at that, specially after a few dozen drinks. But this is going too far, buddy. Stay. Away. From. The. Kittens. D:
Yeah, I think so. I like the applicability of MBTI to real life. I like interacting with others here and seeing how their experiences are like or unlike my own and seeing how other types are...
Thanks! Now I feel like I gotta tell some stupid jokes to balance this out. :D Seriously though, I like reading your comments too. Your sense of passion for life is incredible and you do an excellent...'
