'Yellow and Orange. Cool site! Thanks!

Going camping. Camping supplies eternally furnished I hope. No other campers allowed- only animals! ;)

For me, intense = sexy. Other attributes and gender are secondary.

ISFP- I like RPG, pretty slow paced, 1st person only. I prefer adventure games (as opposed to shooter games) like Elder Scrolls and Thief. My all-time favorite is Morrowind, although I've got it so...

I may have to steal that one. I love it!!

Do we have a thread like this? Looked, can't find one. 149250

Hey! I resemble... ..er... RESENT that! :laughing:

Maybe I should change AGAIN... According to the post below, I'm Sx/Sp instead of Sp/Sx. Either is pretty accurate, but The Hyper-intense dominatrix just sounds so much.... Cooler! :cool: ...

Hi. I'm Suzy and I'm a 4 because on online quiz told me so. I've always marched to the beat of a different drum...in a hippie sort of way so of course I'm a 4. Makes perfect sense to me. :ninja:

Kyusaku Very insightful.

Bah haha! :laughing:

That person that is over at the edge of things, happily by him/herself and who has been mesmerized for 10 minutes by a ladybug (or a leaf, a squirrel, someone's dog, drawing in the dirt with a stick...

I am not agreeing that all INFPs are annoying- we are all unique individuals. But since this thread caught my eye, the only trait I find annoying about the INFPs That I know is a tendency to...

Yes. That's a whole different ballgame isn't it- our love for our children, that is.

143386 That is all.

I am the complete opposite of almost all, if not All of this.

Yes-exactly. Except for with my kids.

I grew up in a home where my mother completely over committed my time. I wasn't able to just be- and I was always around people. Ugh! I probably do have issues with commitment. And what you are...

Just for the record, I am not neurotic and don't think I have many issues. I am however very very commitment-avoidant- even with platonic friends. It's nearly impossible for anyone to pin me...

Definitely true for me. It's hard for me to get attached to someone and I'm hard to get to know. I have a very hard time making a commitment too. (...almost gives me anxiety attack just thinking...

I always have. Recent pic--140937 My profile pic is recent also. I am over 40.

My quarter-sleeve has begun. 140873 140881

Thank you both! I am still looking for patterns, but had a crazy day at work and didn't really get to start recording data today. I'll start tomorrow though. I have an idea for a chart.

So do you think your mom's primary motivator is feelings or principles? My guess is feelings (just hidden under a tough exterior), but I don't even know her. ;]

Yes, you answered it! Your decisions are rooted in your principles- just as mine are. For me, EVERYTHING stems from there. Empathy or conforming to social standards are the results of filtering...

1. Do you think you have as a guiding principle (whether intentional or not) through life, to try to stay out of the way of others as much as possible? Yes. I absolutely hate to make phone calls...

I'm copying your question onto my (digital) notepad. This is going to take some thought. Great question- and great story/explanation). I do the same exact thing, by the way. This will be fun...

I know- it was a hard question to convey! It took over an hour to get the question in my head in an understandable form. :) To get this straight- You do usually follow social conventions, if you...

Yeah- none of us like to be put in a box- stereotyped. But I think most people have a primary reason they use more than the others. I have an answer for myself, but I'm holding out for a few...

FiguringItAllOutAsAlways I believe most people use all three but most of us have a primary. I have a friend who feels others' pain deeply. She responds (mostly) out of empathy. My dad (and I)...

I think social conventions vary greatly from area to area. I am in the Deep South/ Bible Belt area and fairly rural. My specific area is steeped in tradition and conventions that are sometimes just...

Wow! Great list! Most of these scare me too -except the unrelated ones. (I love all things nature-even ants.)

1- Do you normally follow most social norms (conventions)? I don't mean things like laws or rules at work. I'm referring to traditions and social behavior. In my area- Southeastern US, these would be...

I have the opposite problem. I have a pretty serious lack of empathy. I'm not a mean person- I just don't feel it. Sometimes I wish I could. It's just not there. I act on principle alone- so I...

I'm not an extrovert, but I lurk here because it is interesting to observe my flip side. It has nothing to do with romanticism or desiring to be 'complete'. It's because in a way I relate and am...

Beware! Defective or missing heart. Do not attempt to date or befriend.

Commitment. Speaking in front of a big group of people. Surprise (uninvited/unannounced) company at my house (horror of all horrors!)

Well put. I'm known for my brutal honesty- seriously. If you met 10 random people who know me I bet all of them would mention it. (and most of them would also mention that I'm crazy but that has...

Though I've ever doubted my ISFP-ness in the past, there is no doubt now! Haha! You could have been writing this about me! ;)

ISFP and INFP both love nature. INFP might love reading about it, looking at pictures of it, thinking about it, planning their next outing. ISFP would much rather be out in it -experiencing it in...

I just inhaled my Koolaid... :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

You made a really good point- I'm in my 40s and my personality is much more balanced than it was when I was in my 20s. Also, I've developed coping strategies to help me thrive and survive in my...

I know exactly what you mean. ;)

Thank you! Once I got on the ISFP subforum, I knew it was my 'fit'. Also, I found a group fellow ISFPs who are in the INTJ grip a lot of the time and another group who is also not nice. I guess...

Well, someone who knows more about MBTI is welcome to correct or clarify this answer, but ISFP and INTJ use the same functions. When I'm in the grip I'm using my secondary functions which are the...

Ok- big question. This is one of the reasons I was typed (here) as an ISFP. I am basically logic oriented unless my values/principles are involved. I did 2 questionnaires and that was probably the...

LOL! No- I LOVE them!! :laughing:

Speaking from an F point of view, many (if not most) things, I don't feel strongly about. So in most cases my emotions don't affect my thinking as much as you would think. At work I have to make...

I used to think I couldn't possibly be ISFP because I'm too aloof. But feeling doesn't necessarily mean feeling toward people. I'm feeling toward my dogs and my passions (nature, hiking) and my...'
