I am an INFj dating and ISFP. I know other ISFP's, including a real close friend in the past. ISFP's have some of the most honest, sincere hearts I've found on this planet.
My husband is an ISFP and I'm a INFJ, the smell thing made me crack up, and he's never afraid to say outloud how things look lol!!!! We stay home more weekends than not, except in Summer because it's prettier outside. He's got impeccable taste, an amazing artist, if he likes something he can tell you EVERYTHING about it. The rants are hilarious and sometimes annoying. Pumpkin carving takes him HOURS. He's very much a rule breaker i.e. currently doesn't have a driver's license.😕 We have oil burners, wax warmers, incense, room spray, and he owns more body spray than I do!😂 He let's me be me and our opinions are very similar or very different. We've been together 10 plus years and I love that I've finally discovered the Meyers Briggs and understand what works with our personalities!
Omg. I feel so called out. I am an INFP and i don;t have a driving lisence. I own a tons of scented home stuff too and pampikin carving also takes me forever (I need perfection).
"ISFPs can get really charismatic and cute when they really like something." That is so true! My friend, Daniel has recently started learning to play the guitar, and it's practically all he talks about! He loves it so much and loves talking about it!
ISFP here... extremely aware in life! Born artist! Yes on the rants; we get overwhelmed at times with everyone's energy and need to let that energy out! Which is why exercise is very important! I am NOT a shopper, yuck! lol Interior design, yes! Physically (internally) aware of our bodies too. This world is exhausting - overstimulation on so many levels -- music is the respite!
Oh wow! I totally relate on the energy part. I get super anxious looking at anxious people or sit and cry looking at sadness in people. The energies are so affecting...
I only just recently found out that I am an ISFP, and while I was reading up about the characteristics of the ISFP, it completely blew my mind when I realized that it's literally me! Also, knowing that there are other ISFPs out there brings me with so much joy!! I... I don't feel so alone anymore. n_n
Ma Meta Yaa, I had a similar situation - I was getting INFJ 70% of the time and sometimes INFP, now Im starting to realise that I might be an ISFP after all xd
I am cracking up because every time i walk into the house or get into my car ALWAYS the first thing i say is it smells like_____ or it looks like ______hahaha
The descriptions/opinions that I mostly read/hear about ISFPs are very unflattering but watching your video makes me feel genuinely appreciated. Truly warms my heart. Thank You, Beautiful. I'm pleased to know a wonderful ISFP-INFJ parent-daughter relationship. Thanks for sharing! You and your Mom are both wonderful. Ahh I wish I have INFJs in my life! And You are spot on about the smells... that made me chuckle. I remember telling a friend, "you smell like your house." Insert chirping cricket here* I know it's weird but her house had a distinct smell but I can't pin point what it was. She gave me a perplexed look and didn't talk to me on that day. :P
ISFPs are also the most soft spoken and tough taskmasters and very hard on themselves as well, it is synonymous to how we INFPs dig a concept for hours even leaving eating, drinking.
As an infj female I really like the isfp. They feel just as much emotions as the infj does (they just have trouble not drowning in it..like the infj but different). And they like to keep it real which is refreshing to an infj who is very much aware of people's true intentions (lies/manipulation). And they are in the moment when the infj gets lost in their heads a lot. I think they really work as a couple cause they are kinda a ying/yang couple balancing each other out. The weakness of the one is the strength of the other. The isfp is the tortured artist while the infj is his free shrink. We can help them process those emotions in a little bit more healthy way. But the infj can get lost in their heads (worrying about others) and needs someone to drag us back into reality. And the isfp is easily conned...the infj can watch out for that cause we can see it from a mile away. And we are a bit more organised and a planner with long term vision. But we forget to...well life....isfp is good with that.
I'm also an INFJ and I had an ISFP roommate for 3 years in college. Your description is spot on! Like your mom, my roommate absolutely loves perfumes and owns about 30 different ones. I also found her to be a very chill person who was very relaxing to be around. :) Thanks for your videos! I especially love hearing your take on different types.
My sisters are an ENFP and an ISFP and I'm always surprised at how different they are. The ENFP gets super passionate and heated about politics and societal issues in general, but the ISFP is a lot more chill and just kind of like, "Well whatever happens, happens. I don't really care that much." And I personally relate a lot more to the ISFP perspective. There are a couple things that I have very passionate opinions on and would get into heated debates over, but most things I don't really care that much. I just wish people would stop fighting about everything, agree to disagree, and get along. But such is the life of a quiet Idealist like an INFJ.
I'm an ISFP and my boyfriend is an INFJ. We're such a boring couple but very compassionate and loving. We respect and share each other's differences and other sides of interests. I'm sincerely attracted to the INFJs because of their influential trait thus, they're kinda sweet and clever. My love on INFJs was fascinating, comforting and endless.
This is just leaving me in awe. The connection between INFJ and ISFP is just wow. A very close friend of mine is ISFP and she’s everything I could ask for, hopefully something could happen..
I agree with and relate to literally everything you said about us (I'm an ISFP too) - and my sister's an INFJ!! yay! She's amazing, I really like dipping into my Introverted Intuition with her.
I'm OBSESSED with writing books and stories (but I'm 17 so they're not officially published yet) and I love art too so I'm a really stereotypical ISFP. My mum's an artist and illustrator so that could explain that. Oh and I LOVE CANDLES SO MUCH. I've got one in my room and I sniff it every day (no exaggeration), I think that ISFPs like myself, just really appreciate anything that compliments our senses, whether that's visually pleasing things, things that smell nice, things that taste nice, -- and even things that sound nice like wind chimes or particular music. XD But thank you so much for making this video, I think you gave a really accurate depiction on our type, probably because you knew two in your personal life, one being your mother :)
So true. Im an INFJ, my partner in ISFP and he loves shopping, always comments on how things look and smell and knows an insane amount about topics he is interested in. Great video!
7:15 we don’t like telling people what to do- “live and let live.” This puts many people at ease because it reduces pressure to perform or feel the need to defend yourself
wow, your description is really spot on, i'm an isfp 100% and couldn't help but smile throughout your video, related to the entire thing:) it was special to hear about how you appreciate our funky selves, we're a bit hard to understand for many. excellent video, i really enjoyed!
I'm an ISFP-T and this video is true. Although, I choose to study computer systems as I am socially crippled from being an extreme introvert. Art and going through that schooling wouldn't be mentally possible. I always comment on smells and visual things. I explain my opinions and go on rants. I always have very good details on the things I enjoy and memorize. I've got tons of credit cards and buy random shoes and jackets just for the fun of it. I am very sympathetic and would never control someone else. I take online classes, go to work, and deal with my own bills, so I'm very independent, but simultaneously a huge procrastinator.
I adore ISFPs! 3 (maybe even 4) of my close friends have been ISFPs (I'm an ENFP) and we really connect with our Fi, while their Se desire to explore actually complements my Ne very well. I tend to find some ESFPs quite overwhelming (although some have been great friends), but ISFPs provide the perfect balance, because although they are introverted they do love to get out and they can even push me to try new things and stop me from over analyzing everything, I mean its pretty easy to convince me. They are laid back and enjoy doing things on the whim, and they are super reliable when you need them. I understand what you mean by the smell thing, one old ISFP friend would always come over to my place and claim that my house never had a distinct smell like everyone else's. Of course every ISFP is different but my closest friend shares very similar values to myself and she loves to learn so we are constantly sharing the news, having environmental, social justice, political and scientific discussions. She loves to partake in so-called "intuitive"-like conversations, though she provides very balanced, realistic opinions, which is always needed and gets me to reconsider my opinions and consider alternative perspectives. Similarly my perspectives always expose her to different ways of seeing situations. She is also an ISFP that has a very minimalistic mindset (the way she was raised) who highly values education. This is very different from my INFP friendships, where we constantly move from tangent to tangent adding to the brew, which is very much like talking to someone who can read your mind.
My INFJ daughter is very good at picking out clothes. Very stylish. Im an ISFP. I relate to the “rant” thing :). Also the living dictionary thing, but in other areas. I dont shop too much thou.
As an ISTP, I can agree with your observation of the ISFPs' use of tertiary Ni. Even though it's not my go-to function, talking with INFJs can often bring it out.
The "rants" are Fi-rants. FP's, especially IFP's, are prone to go on Fi rants if they feel that one of their values has been violated or if they otherwise have something they want to vent about. To a lesser extent, every Fi type does this, and maybe Fe's with a strong Fi (e.g. Sx 4's). Dario Nardi, the guy from UCLA who does brain scans of different mbti types, said that the INFP brain is typically open minded...until a value is crossed, at which point their open-mindedness shuts down like a fortress. I guess ISFP's are like that too.
I'll go on a rant if someone tries to question my values or lifestyle. I'll defend myself. I won't impose myself on others and I don't k ow why other's should. That's why I find myself jusfying myself sometimes and suddenly become the professor in the room who's end point is live and let live.
I've always found these two types to be interesting together. I'm an INFJ, and I'm unfortunately.. Extremely picky when it comes to my relationships, to the point where I've only ever had two - One that lasted 5 years, and my current one. It just so happens that both of them are ISFPs. I don't particularly figure it's because I'm SUPER into ISFPs or something, if anything I'm more into ESTPs, but I've found that the kinda people I tend to be super into aren't always the best for me, while ISFPs have always been GOOD for me. :) ISFPs are lovely people, you can't argue with that!
I can relate to most of what you said as an isfp :) i definitely don't like being controlled or controlling others i have a live and let live attitude i guess,I do care about aesthetics a lot,i like beauty i like things to look nice.and i like doing creative things too it makes me happy.
Hi from a female ISFP. I agree with others that you are very visually appealing ;) Thankyou for sharing such a positive opinion about ISFPs. I just found out recently that I really am an ISFP, somehow I thought that I might be an INFJ before, because I related to the Ni-function, but I relate more to Fi-Se than Ni-Fe :)
I am ISFP and could find my self 85% in your words. The way your mather raised you is the way I raise my children. Watching you I am more determinate to let my children use their skills. Thank you very much.
ISFP here, I make wooden bowls, juggle, make juggling videos, make parkour videos, write Rap's, play rugby, cycle, play badminton, play cricket, make random stacks of stones, am making an app as well as other strange things from time to time. I would describe my 'art' as more of passions that wax and wane (but never really leave) as opposed to a particular discipline that I have focused on I guess. I also feel that these passions are strongly linked by my passion for, what I perceive as, creative genius in some form. Not necessarily in my own creations although I do sometimes impress myself but in the study of the discipline as a whole. This means I have a similar passion and fascination for my favourite authors (eg. Tolkien) as I do for my favourite rappers (eg. Black Thought) and the best jugglers in the world (eg. Anthony Gatto, look him up he's sick) and others as well which gives me a really fun outlook on the world I think.
Isfp here. I live by Orlando FL. Orlando is right by Disney world. I haven't been to Disney world yet but if your mom lit up, I will make an effort to go to Disney world myself. Thank you for your imput.
I know this an older one I have listened to it several times and I always laugh about ISFP commenting on the smell of a room! I do that too. I don’t if it’s my type but I notice things like that. I thought I was an intuitive but I relate to your mother. The love of movies and shopping and Disneyland. I feel better if my environment is pleasant. I also notice everything about taste , smell and texture of food ( even soup!) Yes I have the rants and know details about things I like ( movies and tv shows. )
Skills take practice. Practice something you enjoy and forget about being good or the best. Good takes time, the best is for each to judge themselves. With the right approach any specific activity can be artistically done. And practiced as an art. Kungfu is an art, architecture is an art, music is an art, being a good friend can be an art too I'd suppose. So explore and find your art
I was not sure if I was an ISFP or an INFP- but after listening to your description of your mom - I’m pretty much convinced that this is my type. It just describes me to a T
As an ISFP-A who has a best friend INFJ-A... OMG !!!! she is the best... like I tell whole sort of things that come to my crazy mind & all she do is look at me lovely & laugh & add her thoughts. She is literally my safe house...
Ahh this is so cool, my mama is an INFJ and I’m an ISFP 🤍 she gives me so much insight and meaning to things. Btw you are incredibly beautiful such a doe like beauty
Omg the smell thing is toooo accurate! I didn't know that was because I'm an isfp 😂 this is so interesting! I'm super specific with smells. Like if my mom buys a soap or detergent that smells wrong to me it bugs me so much! But also things that smell good to me are so comforting!
I think this is pretty accurate. As an INFP, I really like ISFPs generally, we have loads in common, we share pretty much the same values, like authenticity, tollerance, etc. BUT we can easily frustrate each other too. Like sometimes I'd start talking about random ideas or thoughts I have, that are a bit "deeper" and maybe require some extra reflection,(or I admit sometimes I just spew out too many ideas at once so it can be hard to follow) and they just don't understand me fully. Whether it's political, philosophical etc. they just have no patience for it and therefore lose all interest. They care about practical stuff, things they can visualize, feel, touch etc. so when I'm talking abstractly (I'm not talking about fantasy stuff cos they love that, I mean abstract as in IDEAS, not concrete things) they have a real hard time following me and ultimately caring about what I'm saying lol, so that's bad for the both of us cos they're confused/annoyed or they think I'm being "pretentious" or a "smart-ass", and I feel like they don't give a shit about my ideas and/or I feel misunderstood lol. For example when I told my ISFP friend about MBTI she didn't want to know anything about it, she was really sceptic and was like "I dont believe you can put people into boxes" etc. and just ended the conversation when I was trying to explain it to her lol, so I gave up. Also they sometimes refuse to use logic (yes, sounds weird coming from an INFP but I'm actually stimulated by activities that require using logic, they seem to be drained by it for some reason). But I really love my ISFP friends anyway, they're so supportive and just very nice, kind, honest human beings.
***** yeah I have also experienced that when I discuss ideas and conceptual thoughts.It's harder for them to go there with me and they don't seem to enjoy it the way I do.
***** I've experienced the whole skepticism of mbti with some of my ISFP friends. I managed to convince my closest friend after months and a year after she still felt unsure. Two years later she actually enjoys discussing mbti. I think that she only started to gain interest in the subject after I had spent months simplifying everything for her and provided concrete examples. Its been great practice, because after her, I've been able to convince various other sensors of its applicability. In addition, she seemed to be more interested in the subject after exposing her to Dario Nardi's work. As a biology student the EEG scans really helped her see the concrete side to mbti. I agree that it can be hard for them to follow through with theoretical/ conceptual thoughts but I think that we should have the patience to translate our ideas into simplified information so they can provide feedback. We can often forget that they have their strenghts too. On the other hand, an old ISFP friend used to get annoyed with me and call me too "textbookish", which is funny because I just happen to be very analytical and would simply state my observations. I am an ENFP.
I deleted my previous reply because I don't think it came out right. I meant to say that ISFP's think deeply too but we just aren't very good with words, at least I'm not. We're more action oriented. I've noticed I find it really hard to teach others as I do an activity. For example, show someone how to change a central line dressing (I'm a nurse.) So it's either do it or explain it, but not do both at the same time. And really, I'd rather just do it than explain it. I get very frustrated trying to express myself especially if the feelings are really deep. Also it's hard for me to follow a complex set of ideas, so what looks like disinterest is probably me trying to follow along; so what's really happening is I'm getting lost keeping up with what the other person is saying. I like profound thoughts too but I tend to feel them rather than say them. Again, it's either experience it or talk about it, but not both at the same time. I guess that's really what I meant. Hope this helps!
me too! At first I was feeling like it wasn't an ISFP thing to do but I feel better knowing it is(even if it's not that great of a thing haha). Just tonight I went on a sort of a rant over something I passionate believe over a discussion with a friend
you are so right, as an isfp i got into the every piece of details of my favorite movie. i knew who shot, direct, edit, put music in it. and even got a book about the director.
My mums ISFP too! She is a great problem solver compared to me, she quietly and systematically works her way though problems which I wish I could do. She loves music, poetry, art and movies. So glad I have her! She balances me out :)
i love disneyland too and have a hard time going to ugly amusement parks but i do love the thrill of rides and stuff lol muy accurate! i used to get shamed for being "shallow" for caring about aesthetics and that pisses me off like...people like what they like and they can't help it, goddamn
I hate conflict lol💕 I just found out I'm an ISFP. I'm very sweet but I don't tolerate rudeness I rant😄 and I'm very detailed and I have a great memory as well💞
My mum is an ISFJ, I can confirm that ISFx's know so much stuff, my mum studied history and geography, and she often knows a lot of what is happening in politics or in global conflicts, etc. Very interesting to see that ISFPs show a more arty side in a similar respect. She definitely isn't a 'light' person to be around, we often clash on our opinions and conversations get rapidly intense when this happens - it takes a long time to explain my point of view; if I try to explain she can find it very confronting and doesn't want me to explain, or if I avoid explaining she takes it as an insult. You can't win with an ISFJ, Ne is her danger function and it's just so hard to get along if we disagree. She often doesn't get that I don't *really* want to know all of the details, or that I just want some time to lounge around without her pouncing on me to do something for her.
Isfj and Isfp are very very different! I am an Isfp and my mom is Isfj. She is very very talented in planning, making everything perfect, and being strict to themselves. But Isfp is literally the opposite. Idle AF. Isfp's main function is Fi and Isfj's second function is Fe. That might be why we can.. look similar cuz.. we're both sensitive to feelings? But we're actually very different. Isfps are never bound to something like Isfj are. Isfps are seeking for freedom. Isfjs can often be very logical as you said as it's their third function. But Isfp is never a critical thinker. Isfp focuses more on their feeling, rather than the fact.
I was so unsure whether I was ISFP or INFP, and the tests kept saying INFP, but only marginally. But this solidified it for me, holy shit. Thank you, it's been driving me a little crazy, haha.
nope. you guys share 2 cognitive functions, Ni and Se (not just one). anyway INFJ's do usually get alone with ISFP's; sometimes these are called "suitemates". in fact, infj's can show isfp's how to use their ni and isfp's can teach infj's to use their se. in particular, when stressed, the isfp's can teach the infj's how to relax and forgive. to live in the present means not being depressed about the past or anxious about the future. and the other can be true as well, infj's can show isfp's how to be a little more scheduled. here's a fun fact: did you know that isfp's are close to intj's? they share the same 4 functions. in fact, an older or more developed intj will look like an isfp. want to know what a kind-hearted intj will look like? it's an isfp. likewise, an older isfp's will resemble an intj. this relationship between the intj and isfp is known as the "complementary" relationship. in a sense, there is an intj within the isfp and an isfp within the intj.
Long Ho that’s funny because I’ve tested as INXJ and I do find ISFP’s to be kind of fascinating, especially how their command of Se is so solid whereas mine can cause me considerable stress sometimes, lol!
Wow.. How smart are you? I am an Isfp and I have this Infj friend and learned sooo much from her. Actually, I have never been aware of the existence of my Ni function until I started living with her. She showed super amazing insights and the way she is being so sincere to other people has always been my motivation and also inspiration. And what I gave her is just like you said, relax, enjoy the present, and chill. We are both art students, so I often give her advice regarding color, perspective, composition, etc. We're very different from each other, but somehow we started to understand each other and enhance those weaknesses that we have by learning from each other. And about that Intj... I can relate to that sooo much. I have this Intj friend who is in the same group as that Infj friend, and technically we're very much different. But sometimes we are very similar. I'm pretty sure she feels the same thing. We know when another is having an awkward emotion. I think we're very different in terms of the main function, but like other functions are kind of corresponding. So we are mostly having a hard time fully understanding each other, but somehow we sort of have this relatable moment.
Just wondering if any other ISFP get comments on their eyes. Several friends have stated how they love that my pupils would visibly grow larger in front of them.
My mum is also an ISFP!! Myself being an INFJ and my brother an ENFP, and oh gosh.. Every single word was so accurate. You just described my mum by describing yours :) thanks for posting these videos ♥
ENTP here...was best friends FOR YEARS with an ISFP...they are indeed unique creatures - sensitive tho...(BTW she is a hardcore artist, SUPER creative person) - also you have very beautiful eyes, they are like big, dark pools, just saying but I'm sure you know.
Hey Melody - INTJ here. Love your videos. My mom is an ISFP as well, so is my boss. I can think of at least 7 ISFPs I've interacted with in my life. Mmm..commenting on "what looks good on you." I completely agree with this. There's a super distinct and unique opinion that always stems from Fi dominants. I feel like it's an independent feeling - a type of freedom. I actually really like this, whereas my ex who is an INFJ, and other Fe friends and family tend to come from the other side, by asking "how does this look on me?" when shopping, etc. I always found this Fe vs Fi comparison fascinating. Hahahaha rants. I'm going to say Fi can be stubborn at times. I'm stubborn, myself with my Fi. hmmm, the detailed recall of memory. I can't seem to relate to that with my exp with ISFPs. I'm glad I got this from your video. Come to think of it, I can't recall many Fe people in my life that have gone off on passionate rants. hmmm I'm really in perfumes...although Fi-Se and my 3rd and 4th. You're right about independence and freedom, and not wanting to control others. My boss would tell me what he'd like me to "build" or work on, but he won't be the type of boss that'll tell me how I should carry things out or come into my office to check on progress. He'll leave it up to me on how I get the job done, and he'll only check up if it's taking too long. Lots of freedom.
I love your video. I am an ISFP. I grew up with an INFJ mom, I have an INFJ best friend of almost 10 years, and another close friend who is INFJ for almost as long(7 or 8 years). I thought being in the reverse was funny.
😂 I am 100% sure I’m a freaking ISFP!! For one I have a very strong Fi!! So then I was confused whether INFP OR ISFP!! But then I watched almost all videos on YT for the comparison!! I am I started leaning more to S!! And now your here talking about the stuffs I do as well!! Specially the part of entering a room and talking about the smell!! Coz I do that all the time
INFJ here with ISFP mother. I've been studying them since she told me this and I could go on and on. 40 years with that woman, intimately (because as my mother she was and IS ALL up in my business), so I have many opinions and questions. Since I am INFJ and since I am her only child, watching her navigate life, how she influenced me, the good the bad and the ugly, so I feel like through my astute observation through the decades that I know her better than she knows herself. LOL! She would firmly disagree. We also butt heads like a couple of old goats. I was wondering if that is because she is my mother or if our types being THAT close and intimately connected set us up for function stack bumper cars. She is definitely loved by ALL.
my friend Lindsay is an ISFP we are like bro and sis. We have known each other for 11 years. She could always tell me her problems and stuff. We used to talk every night for like an hour at a time and she would call me alot during the day. Point is we were real close me the INFJ her the ISFP
wait! i ve seen your comments on other videos where u said u were isfp then another one u said u were infp and now u re infj? im curious! which one are you? i can understand why you d be so confused, im probably an isfp and i can relate to those personalities too in some way
I tend to get along well with ISFPs. Theres some underlying traits i feel we have in common, which probably is a result of sharing Ni and some Se. Theyre really adorable people and are very genuine, idk whom else can be themselves more than..well them. However there are some inevitable things i guess i nitpick (sorry) and cannot stand about the type. I cant talk to them about anything overly theoretical or deep, they get lost. And i get buzz killed. As for rants.. i dont think ive met or gotten close enough to ISFPs who would rant in front of me but i do feel that when they do, its for very.. stupid(?) reasons or overly subjective to their person. I guess maybe thats what you mean about being detailed... My ISFP friend often finds every possible reason to complain or critique food, while we go out a lot to eat, its not the most fun experience. I dont care much (inf Se?) as they do, they find something to compare in taste or looks and i guess my Fe absorbs that and it just sounds obnoxious, rude and unappreciative. Same with clothes. But i can say, ISFPs dress and eat well, they know what they like which i can find respect for. One other thing i have noticed is they will spend so much on sensory experience. $$$ on electronics or nice things in general, the next best or new thing-- they must have. And they are craving it if it resonates and suits their person. They really live in the moment, and it scares me sometimes LOL
Hi! My husband is Isfp and he is a great musician, with an eye for cool decor, and he definitely has opinionated rants despite being very personable and comforting. Lol!
I am an INFj dating and ISFP. I know other ISFP's, including a real close friend in the past. ISFP's have some of the most honest, sincere hearts I've found on this planet.
My husband is an ISFP and I'm a INFJ, the smell thing made me crack up, and he's never afraid to say outloud how things look lol!!!! We stay home more weekends than not, except in Summer because it's prettier outside. He's got impeccable taste, an amazing artist, if he likes something he can tell you EVERYTHING about it. The rants are hilarious and sometimes annoying. Pumpkin carving takes him HOURS. He's very much a rule breaker i.e. currently doesn't have a driver's license.😕 We have oil burners, wax warmers, incense, room spray, and he owns more body spray than I do!😂 He let's me be me and our opinions are very similar or very different. We've been together 10 plus years and I love that I've finally discovered the Meyers Briggs and understand what works with our personalities!
Omg. I feel so called out. I am an INFP and i don;t have a driving lisence. I own a tons of scented home stuff too and pampikin carving also takes me forever (I need perfection).
As an isfp you are certified visually appealing in every way.
lol
ISFPs are a bit blunt then, eh? lol
Se, attack mode activate !
yea the Fi dom + Se react
An ISFP will always have a place in the heart of an ENTJ
You have intrinsically warming eyes. Like a campfire for friends.
Aww this is one of the sweetest compliments I have received! Thank you
No worries! Just thought you should know.
Stealing that compliment that’s amazing
that is literally the first thing that I thought when I saw the thumbnail
Me too i want that
"ISFPs can get really charismatic and cute when they really like something." That is so true! My friend, Daniel has recently started learning to play the guitar, and it's practically all he talks about! He loves it so much and loves talking about it!
My ISFP husband is a guitarist. Let him obsess, it will be worth it!
ISFP here... extremely aware in life! Born artist! Yes on the rants; we get overwhelmed at times with everyone's energy and need to let that energy out! Which is why exercise is very important! I am NOT a shopper, yuck! lol Interior design, yes! Physically (internally) aware of our bodies too. This world is exhausting - overstimulation on so many levels -- music is the respite!
Oh wow! I totally relate on the energy part. I get super anxious looking at anxious people or sit and cry looking at sadness in people. The energies are so affecting...
As an ISFP with an INFJ dad, I can confirm we always get along so well. Also I make him laugh so easily, which makes me so happy. :)
I only just recently found out that I am an ISFP, and while I was reading up about the characteristics of the ISFP, it completely blew my mind when I realized that it's literally me! Also, knowing that there are other ISFPs out there brings me with so much joy!! I... I don't feel so alone anymore. n_n
P.S. Thank you for making this video! It brought a big smile to my face and totally made my night. (> ^-^)>
Welcome to the ISFP'S family!
That’s why I’ve loved MBTI so much lately- been super refreshing
Hello, you aren't alone!
Damn... I remember leaving that comment all those years ago. Good old days.
As a newly realized ISFP (after getting INFP as my test results 90% of the time, INFJ the other 10%), this made me smile....BIG!! 😁😉
Ma Meta Yaa, I had a similar situation - I was getting INFJ 70% of the time and sometimes INFP, now Im starting to realise that I might be an ISFP after all xd
@@sakkijarvenpolkka2090 Yeah I did also, but after learning about cognitive functions and general ISFP behavior I realized that I was one.
Same
same
I am cracking up because every time i walk into the house or get into my car ALWAYS the first thing i say is it smells like_____ or it looks like ______hahaha
+Clove Owens haha that's so funny! I sincerely have heard it from all the ISFPs I know lol
The descriptions/opinions that I mostly read/hear about ISFPs are very unflattering but watching your video makes me feel genuinely appreciated. Truly warms my heart. Thank You, Beautiful.
I'm pleased to know a wonderful ISFP-INFJ parent-daughter relationship. Thanks for sharing! You and your Mom are both wonderful. Ahh I wish I have INFJs in my life!
And You are spot on about the smells... that made me chuckle. I remember telling a friend, "you smell like your house." Insert chirping cricket here* I know it's weird but her house had a distinct smell but I can't pin point what it was. She gave me a perplexed look and didn't talk to me on that day. :P
ISFPs are also the most soft spoken and tough taskmasters and very hard on themselves as well, it is synonymous to how we INFPs dig a concept for hours even leaving eating, drinking.
As an infj female I really like the isfp. They feel just as much emotions as the infj does (they just have trouble not drowning in it..like the infj but different). And they like to keep it real which is refreshing to an infj who is very much aware of people's true intentions (lies/manipulation). And they are in the moment when the infj gets lost in their heads a lot.
I think they really work as a couple cause they are kinda a ying/yang couple balancing each other out. The weakness of the one is the strength of the other. The isfp is the tortured artist while the infj is his free shrink. We can help them process those emotions in a little bit more healthy way. But the infj can get lost in their heads (worrying about others) and needs someone to drag us back into reality. And the isfp is easily conned...the infj can watch out for that cause we can see it from a mile away. And we are a bit more organised and a planner with long term vision. But we forget to...well life....isfp is good with that.
I'm also an INFJ and I had an ISFP roommate for 3 years in college. Your description is spot on! Like your mom, my roommate absolutely loves perfumes and owns about 30 different ones. I also found her to be a very chill person who was very relaxing to be around. :) Thanks for your videos! I especially love hearing your take on different types.
Hannah Seagren haha that's great the smell thing always makes me chuckle lol. Thanks love:)
Yes! This is so spot on to all my ISFP friends. Especially the part about being highly aware and caring for aesthetics and the passionate rants.
+Samantha M. Haha I am glad I was accurate in that area because that has definitely been my experience with the type :)
My sisters are an ENFP and an ISFP and I'm always surprised at how different they are. The ENFP gets super passionate and heated about politics and societal issues in general, but the ISFP is a lot more chill and just kind of like, "Well whatever happens, happens. I don't really care that much." And I personally relate a lot more to the ISFP perspective. There are a couple things that I have very passionate opinions on and would get into heated debates over, but most things I don't really care that much. I just wish people would stop fighting about everything, agree to disagree, and get along. But such is the life of a quiet Idealist like an INFJ.
yes - sincerely, an enfp :D
I"m an INFJ and my girlfriend is an ISFP and I love it!
Sir Moose awesome :)
Lord Elk I wish my girlfriend was lady Gaga the ISFP LOL
Nice! How'd you do it? Any tips? I'm an INFJ and my crush is an ISFP
I'm an ISFP and my boyfriend is an INFJ. We're such a boring couple but very compassionate and loving. We respect and share each other's differences and other sides of interests. I'm sincerely attracted to the INFJs because of their influential trait thus, they're kinda sweet and clever. My love on INFJs was fascinating, comforting and endless.
This is just leaving me in awe. The connection between INFJ and ISFP is just wow. A very close friend of mine is ISFP and she’s everything I could ask for, hopefully something could happen..
I agree with and relate to literally everything you said about us (I'm an ISFP too) - and my sister's an INFJ!! yay! She's amazing, I really like dipping into my Introverted Intuition with her.
I'm OBSESSED with writing books and stories (but I'm 17 so they're not officially published yet) and I love art too so I'm a really stereotypical ISFP. My mum's an artist and illustrator so that could explain that. Oh and I LOVE CANDLES SO MUCH. I've got one in my room and I sniff it every day (no exaggeration), I think that ISFPs like myself, just really appreciate anything that compliments our senses, whether that's visually pleasing things, things that smell nice, things that taste nice, -- and even things that sound nice like wind chimes or particular music. XD But thank you so much for making this video, I think you gave a really accurate depiction on our type, probably because you knew two in your personal life, one being your mother :)
So true. Im an INFJ, my partner in ISFP and he loves shopping, always comments on how things look and smell and knows an insane amount about topics he is interested in. Great video!
ISFPs always are the ones with 10 different shower gels and shampoos in the shower lol
Tell me more can't argue with that. My favorite hobby is to go to scented candle shop just to smell every one of them. I haven't bought any tho..
Liza Anual lol thats Why I Love Infos 😀
LMAO so true! Guilty!
Omg you got me lol
@@lizaanual9166 lol that's me
7:15 we don’t like telling people what to do- “live and let live.” This puts many people at ease because it reduces pressure to perform or feel the need to defend yourself
This made me smile and reaffirmed me as a isfp. Thanks! :)
+Lauren Pearlman hey I am so glad! No problem!
Your mom was a healthy ISFP. God bless her. Mine was an off the rails ISFP. Your side of the coins was much better.
wow, your description is really spot on, i'm an isfp 100% and couldn't help but smile throughout your video, related to the entire thing:) it was special to hear about how you appreciate our funky selves, we're a bit hard to understand for many. excellent video, i really enjoyed!
I'm an ISFP-T and this video is true. Although, I choose to study computer systems as I am socially crippled from being an extreme introvert. Art and going through that schooling wouldn't be mentally possible. I always comment on smells and visual things. I explain my opinions and go on rants. I always have very good details on the things I enjoy and memorize. I've got tons of credit cards and buy random shoes and jackets just for the fun of it. I am very sympathetic and would never control someone else. I take online classes, go to work, and deal with my own bills, so I'm very independent, but simultaneously a huge procrastinator.
I adore ISFPs! 3 (maybe even 4) of my close friends have been ISFPs (I'm an ENFP) and we really connect with our Fi, while their Se desire to explore actually complements my Ne very well. I tend to find some ESFPs quite overwhelming (although some have been great friends), but ISFPs provide the perfect balance, because although they are introverted they do love to get out and they can even push me to try new things and stop me from over analyzing everything, I mean its pretty easy to convince me. They are laid back and enjoy doing things on the whim, and they are super reliable when you need them. I understand what you mean by the smell thing, one old ISFP friend would always come over to my place and claim that my house never had a distinct smell like everyone else's. Of course every ISFP is different but my closest friend shares very similar values to myself and she loves to learn so we are constantly sharing the news, having environmental, social justice, political and scientific discussions. She loves to partake in so-called "intuitive"-like conversations, though she provides very balanced, realistic opinions, which is always needed and gets me to reconsider my opinions and consider alternative perspectives. Similarly my perspectives always expose her to different ways of seeing situations. She is also an ISFP that has a very minimalistic mindset (the way she was raised) who highly values education. This is very different from my INFP friendships, where we constantly move from tangent to tangent adding to the brew, which is very much like talking to someone who can read your mind.
My INFJ daughter is very good at picking out clothes. Very stylish. Im an ISFP. I relate to the “rant” thing :). Also the living dictionary thing, but in other areas. I dont shop too much thou.
As an ISTP, I can agree with your observation of the ISFPs' use of tertiary Ni. Even though it's not my go-to function, talking with INFJs can often bring it out.
+Celebok awesome thanks for you input :)
You really are pure loveliness, ISFP here :)
The "rants" are Fi-rants. FP's, especially IFP's, are prone to go on Fi rants if they feel that one of their values has been violated or if they otherwise have something they want to vent about. To a lesser extent, every Fi type does this, and maybe Fe's with a strong Fi (e.g. Sx 4's).
Dario Nardi, the guy from UCLA who does brain scans of different mbti types, said that the INFP brain is typically open minded...until a value is crossed, at which point their open-mindedness shuts down like a fortress. I guess ISFP's are like that too.
+Jonathan Campbell that sounds like INFPs Te stubbornness coming into play. dario nardis book is shit. i have it.
Bsh 555 yes
I'll go on a rant if someone tries to question my values or lifestyle. I'll defend myself. I won't impose myself on others and I don't k ow why other's should. That's why I find myself jusfying myself sometimes and suddenly become the professor in the room who's end point is live and let live.
yeah i rant and surprise myself occasionally thinking this is unlike me.
@@blackult1 He is true though.
you have really beautiful eyes.....from an isfp
+Gaurav Thapa thank you :D
I've always found these two types to be interesting together. I'm an INFJ, and I'm unfortunately.. Extremely picky when it comes to my relationships, to the point where I've only ever had two - One that lasted 5 years, and my current one. It just so happens that both of them are ISFPs. I don't particularly figure it's because I'm SUPER into ISFPs or something, if anything I'm more into ESTPs, but I've found that the kinda people I tend to be super into aren't always the best for me, while ISFPs have always been GOOD for me. :) ISFPs are lovely people, you can't argue with that!
I can relate to most of what you said as an isfp :)
i definitely don't like being controlled or controlling others i have a live and let live attitude i guess,I do care about aesthetics a lot,i like beauty i like things to look nice.and i like doing creative things too it makes me happy.
+sweethunnykiss hey thanks for your input!
Hi from a female ISFP. I agree with others that you are very visually appealing ;) Thankyou for sharing such a positive opinion about ISFPs. I just found out recently that I really am an ISFP, somehow I thought that I might be an INFJ before, because I related to the Ni-function, but I relate more to Fi-Se than Ni-Fe :)
I am ISFP and could find my self 85% in your words. The way your mather raised you is the way I raise my children. Watching you I am more determinate to let my children use their skills. Thank you very much.
ISFP here, I make wooden bowls, juggle, make juggling videos, make parkour videos, write Rap's, play rugby, cycle, play badminton, play cricket, make random stacks of stones, am making an app as well as other strange things from time to time. I would describe my 'art' as more of passions that wax and wane (but never really leave) as opposed to a particular discipline that I have focused on I guess.
I also feel that these passions are strongly linked by my passion for, what I perceive as, creative genius in some form. Not necessarily in my own creations although I do sometimes impress myself but in the study of the discipline as a whole. This means I have a similar passion and fascination for my favourite authors (eg. Tolkien) as I do for my favourite rappers (eg. Black Thought) and the best jugglers in the world (eg. Anthony Gatto, look him up he's sick) and others as well which gives me a really fun outlook on the world I think.
Isfp here. I live by Orlando FL. Orlando is right by Disney world. I haven't been to Disney world yet but if your mom lit up, I will make an effort to go to Disney world myself. Thank you for your imput.
I know this an older one I have listened to it several times and I always laugh about ISFP commenting on the smell of a room! I do that too. I don’t if it’s my type but I notice things like that. I thought I was an intuitive but I relate to your mother. The love of movies and shopping and Disneyland.
I feel better if my environment is pleasant. I also notice everything about taste , smell and texture of food ( even soup!)
Yes I have the rants and know details about things I like ( movies and tv shows. )
Any ISFPs that cant draw or write?... I'm a very different ISFP.
That's me! I think we just haven't found our creative niche yet. Don't give up. We will get there!
TheLoyal 02 I do sketching people's faces in detail... how about you...find one. it's like a remedy...
But can you do some sport or instrument or language learner? You might not be much of a sensor idk. Wish you luck.
Skills take practice. Practice something you enjoy and forget about being good or the best. Good takes time, the best is for each to judge themselves. With the right approach any specific activity can be artistically done. And practiced as an art. Kungfu is an art, architecture is an art, music is an art, being a good friend can be an art too I'd suppose. So explore and find your art
I'm an ISFP and a musician. Just find your niche, love!
I was not sure if I was an ISFP or an INFP- but after listening to your description of your mom - I’m pretty much convinced that this is my type. It just describes me to a T
As an ISFP-A who has a best friend INFJ-A... OMG !!!! she is the best... like I tell whole sort of things that come to my crazy mind & all she do is look at me lovely & laugh & add her thoughts. She is literally my safe house...
Ahh this is so cool, my mama is an INFJ and I’m an ISFP 🤍 she gives me so much insight and meaning to things. Btw you are incredibly beautiful such a doe like beauty
Omg the smell thing is toooo accurate! I didn't know that was because I'm an isfp 😂 this is so interesting! I'm super specific with smells. Like if my mom buys a soap or detergent that smells wrong to me it bugs me so much! But also things that smell good to me are so comforting!
Yes! I hate cheap or overly chemical detergent smells and can get opinionated about good scent.
I wish I could relate with the smell thing yall are saying. I am an ISFP but I have poor sense of smell lol.
this made me feel better about being isfp thanks!
I think this is pretty accurate. As an INFP, I really like ISFPs generally, we have loads in common, we share pretty much the same values, like authenticity, tollerance, etc. BUT we can easily frustrate each other too. Like sometimes I'd start talking about random ideas or thoughts I have, that are a bit "deeper" and maybe require some extra reflection,(or I admit sometimes I just spew out too many ideas at once so it can be hard to follow) and they just don't understand me fully. Whether it's political, philosophical etc. they just have no patience for it and therefore lose all interest. They care about practical stuff, things they can visualize, feel, touch etc. so when I'm talking abstractly (I'm not talking about fantasy stuff cos they love that, I mean abstract as in IDEAS, not concrete things) they have a real hard time following me and ultimately caring about what I'm saying lol, so that's bad for the both of us cos they're confused/annoyed or they think I'm being "pretentious" or a "smart-ass", and I feel like they don't give a shit about my ideas and/or I feel misunderstood lol. For example when I told my ISFP friend about MBTI she didn't want to know anything about it, she was really sceptic and was like "I dont believe you can put people into boxes" etc. and just ended the conversation when I was trying to explain it to her lol, so I gave up. Also they sometimes refuse to use logic (yes, sounds weird coming from an INFP but I'm actually stimulated by activities that require using logic, they seem to be drained by it for some reason). But I really love my ISFP friends anyway, they're so supportive and just very nice, kind, honest human beings.
***** yeah I have also experienced that when I discuss ideas and conceptual thoughts.It's harder for them to go there with me and they don't seem to enjoy it the way I do.
***** I've experienced the whole skepticism of mbti with some of my ISFP friends. I managed to convince my closest friend after months and a year after she still felt unsure. Two years later she actually enjoys discussing mbti. I think that she only started to gain interest in the subject after I had spent months simplifying everything for her and provided concrete examples. Its been great practice, because after her, I've been able to convince various other sensors of its applicability. In addition, she seemed to be more interested in the subject after exposing her to Dario Nardi's work. As a biology student the EEG scans really helped her see the concrete side to mbti. I agree that it can be hard for them to follow through with theoretical/ conceptual thoughts but I think that we should have the patience to translate our ideas into simplified information so they can provide feedback. We can often forget that they have their strenghts too. On the other hand, an old ISFP friend used to get annoyed with me and call me too "textbookish", which is funny because I just happen to be very analytical and would simply state my observations. I am an ENFP.
I deleted my previous reply because I don't think it came out right. I meant to say that ISFP's think deeply too but we just aren't very good with words, at least I'm not. We're more action oriented. I've noticed I find it really hard to teach others as I do an activity. For example, show someone how to change a central line dressing (I'm a nurse.) So it's either do it or explain it, but not do both at the same time. And really, I'd rather just do it than explain it. I get very frustrated trying to express myself especially if the feelings are really deep. Also it's hard for me to follow a complex set of ideas, so what looks like disinterest is probably me trying to follow along; so what's really happening is I'm getting lost keeping up with what the other person is saying. I like profound thoughts too but I tend to feel them rather than say them. Again, it's either experience it or talk about it, but not both at the same time. I guess that's really what I meant. Hope this helps!
franka91 hi...ISFP here... 😊😊😊
andhina ichsani sup cutie 😉
Thanks. Your examples made it very easy to get a feel for the ISFP. -fellow INFJ
Not everyone likes honest people. They get offended quickly and then refuse to hang out anymore. 🥺
guilty of those rants : /
me too! At first I was feeling like it wasn't an ISFP thing to do but I feel better knowing it is(even if it's not that great of a thing haha). Just tonight I went on a sort of a rant over something I passionate believe over a discussion with a friend
I do this ALL THE TIME 🤦♂️
I go on a rant at least once a day lol
Everything about this video was so spot on! Literally me
you are so right, as an isfp i got into the every piece of details of my favorite movie. i knew who shot, direct, edit, put music in it. and even got a book about the director.
That really was a spot on analysis! The rants, the observing nature, the live & let live ideology...thank you so much! :)
I'm an infj and my mom is an isfp and this is so accurate! I literally smile through the whole video.
My mums ISFP too! She is a great problem solver compared to me, she quietly and systematically works her way though problems which I wish I could do. She loves music, poetry, art and movies. So glad I have her! She balances me out :)
+Tali H So great to meet another INFJ with an ISFP mom. I wish we could sit down and have coffee together haha.
i love disneyland too and have a hard time going to ugly amusement parks but i do love the thrill of rides and stuff lol muy accurate! i used to get shamed for being "shallow" for caring about aesthetics and that pisses me off like...people like what they like and they can't help it, goddamn
I'm an ISFP. You seem very sweet , dear. Thank you.
You are sooo sweet! Your eyes shine as you speaks about your mom ☺
Monica Bellucci is an ISFP and to me she is the most beautiful woman in the world :))
There are few others like late Soundarya and Madhuri Dixit, indian actors.
She was in the matrix 2 👌🏻
I think that ISFPs appreciate movies more than others because we notice things and appreciate little things more than others.
I hate conflict lol💕 I just found out I'm an ISFP. I'm very sweet but I don't tolerate rudeness I rant😄 and I'm very detailed and I have a great memory as well💞
"beloved" ISFP!!!???? :D Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! that's right! hey, you're not so bad, yourself :)
+char jl haha thanks!
My mum is an ISFJ, I can confirm that ISFx's know so much stuff, my mum studied history and geography, and she often knows a lot of what is happening in politics or in global conflicts, etc. Very interesting to see that ISFPs show a more arty side in a similar respect.
She definitely isn't a 'light' person to be around, we often clash on our opinions and conversations get rapidly intense when this happens - it takes a long time to explain my point of view; if I try to explain she can find it very confronting and doesn't want me to explain, or if I avoid explaining she takes it as an insult. You can't win with an ISFJ, Ne is her danger function and it's just so hard to get along if we disagree. She often doesn't get that I don't *really* want to know all of the details, or that I just want some time to lounge around without her pouncing on me to do something for her.
Isfj and Isfp are very very different! I am an Isfp and my mom is Isfj. She is very very talented in planning, making everything perfect, and being strict to themselves. But Isfp is literally the opposite. Idle AF. Isfp's main function is Fi and Isfj's second function is Fe. That might be why we can.. look similar cuz.. we're both sensitive to feelings? But we're actually very different. Isfps are never bound to something like Isfj are. Isfps are seeking for freedom. Isfjs can often be very logical as you said as it's their third function. But Isfp is never a critical thinker. Isfp focuses more on their feeling, rather than the fact.
yes, i love arts, music, fashion and shopping!
I usually walk away from ISFP'S feeling empty and unfulfilled, they're not much for reciprocation
I was so unsure whether I was ISFP or INFP, and the tests kept saying INFP, but only marginally. But this solidified it for me, holy shit. Thank you, it's been driving me a little crazy, haha.
nope. you guys share 2 cognitive functions, Ni and Se (not just one). anyway INFJ's do usually get alone with ISFP's; sometimes these are called "suitemates". in fact, infj's can show isfp's how to use their ni and isfp's can teach infj's to use their se. in particular, when stressed, the isfp's can teach the infj's how to relax and forgive. to live in the present means not being depressed about the past or anxious about the future. and the other can be true as well, infj's can show isfp's how to be a little more scheduled. here's a fun fact: did you know that isfp's are close to intj's? they share the same 4 functions. in fact, an older or more developed intj will look like an isfp. want to know what a kind-hearted intj will look like? it's an isfp. likewise, an older isfp's will resemble an intj. this relationship between the intj and isfp is known as the "complementary" relationship. in a sense, there is an intj within the isfp and an isfp within the intj.
Long Ho that’s funny because I’ve tested as INXJ and I do find ISFP’s to be kind of fascinating, especially how their command of Se is so solid whereas mine can cause me considerable stress sometimes, lol!
Wow.. How smart are you? I am an Isfp and I have this Infj friend and learned sooo much from her. Actually, I have never been aware of the existence of my Ni function until I started living with her. She showed super amazing insights and the way she is being so sincere to other people has always been my motivation and also inspiration. And what I gave her is just like you said, relax, enjoy the present, and chill. We are both art students, so I often give her advice regarding color, perspective, composition, etc. We're very different from each other, but somehow we started to understand each other and enhance those weaknesses that we have by learning from each other.
And about that Intj... I can relate to that sooo much. I have this Intj friend who is in the same group as that Infj friend, and technically we're very much different. But sometimes we are very similar. I'm pretty sure she feels the same thing. We know when another is having an awkward emotion. I think we're very different in terms of the main function, but like other functions are kind of corresponding. So we are mostly having a hard time fully understanding each other, but somehow we sort of have this relatable moment.
Just wondering if any other ISFP get comments on their eyes. Several friends have stated how they love that my pupils would visibly grow larger in front of them.
Im a enfj and most my friends are isfp ,and infps , Great fun people . love your video and your Very very beautiful btw 🌷:) just subs
You're BEAUTIFUL! 0.o
My mum is also an ISFP!! Myself being an INFJ and my brother an ENFP, and oh gosh.. Every single word was so accurate. You just described my mum by describing yours :) thanks for posting these videos ♥
Haha, My family is the exact same XD
ENTP here...was best friends FOR YEARS with an ISFP...they are indeed unique creatures - sensitive tho...(BTW she is a hardcore artist, SUPER creative person) - also you have very beautiful eyes, they are like big, dark pools, just saying but I'm sure you know.
Hey Melody - INTJ here. Love your videos. My mom is an ISFP as well, so is my boss. I can think of at least 7 ISFPs I've interacted with in my life.
Mmm..commenting on "what looks good on you." I completely agree with this. There's a super distinct and unique opinion that always stems from Fi dominants. I feel like it's an independent feeling - a type of freedom. I actually really like this, whereas my ex who is an INFJ, and other Fe friends and family tend to come from the other side, by asking "how does this look on me?" when shopping, etc. I always found this Fe vs Fi comparison fascinating.
Hahahaha rants. I'm going to say Fi can be stubborn at times. I'm stubborn, myself with my Fi. hmmm, the detailed recall of memory. I can't seem to relate to that with my exp with ISFPs. I'm glad I got this from your video. Come to think of it, I can't recall many Fe people in my life that have gone off on passionate rants.
hmmm I'm really in perfumes...although Fi-Se and my 3rd and 4th.
You're right about independence and freedom, and not wanting to control others. My boss would tell me what he'd like me to "build" or work on, but he won't be the type of boss that'll tell me how I should carry things out or come into my office to check on progress. He'll leave it up to me on how I get the job done, and he'll only check up if it's taking too long. Lots of freedom.
I feel like my mother too was an ISFP, as I am an INFJ ...this video literally hits home 👐
You share two. INFJs have Se like ISFPs.
My mom is an ISFJ and some of this definitely sounds like her too!
I love your video. I am an ISFP. I grew up with an INFJ mom, I have an INFJ best friend of almost 10 years, and another close friend who is INFJ for almost as long(7 or 8 years). I thought being in the reverse was funny.
😂 I am 100% sure I’m a freaking ISFP!! For one I have a very strong Fi!! So then I was confused whether INFP OR ISFP!! But then I watched almost all videos on YT for the comparison!! I am I started leaning more to S!! And now your here talking about the stuffs I do as well!! Specially the part of entering a room and talking about the smell!! Coz I do that all the time
INFJ here with ISFP mother. I've been studying them since she told me this and I could go on and on. 40 years with that woman, intimately (because as my mother she was and IS ALL up in my business), so I have many opinions and questions. Since I am INFJ and since I am her only child, watching her navigate life, how she influenced me, the good the bad and the ugly, so I feel like through my astute observation through the decades that I know her better than she knows herself. LOL! She would firmly disagree. We also butt heads like a couple of old goats. I was wondering if that is because she is my mother or if our types being THAT close and intimately connected set us up for function stack bumper cars. She is definitely loved by ALL.
Thank you for tell us your experience with ISFP especially how mom raised you. I'm an ISFP.
This is the nicest video on isfp’s ☺️💛
This should be a cakewalk.
my friend Lindsay is an ISFP we are like bro and sis. We have known each other for 11 years. She could always tell me her problems and stuff. We used to talk every night for like an hour at a time and she would call me alot during the day. Point is we were real close me the INFJ her the ISFP
wait! i ve seen your comments on other videos where u said u were isfp then another one u said u were infp and now u re infj? im curious! which one are you? i can understand why you d be so confused, im probably an isfp and i can relate to those personalities too in some way
Yeah, ISFPs and INFJs are simpatico. My ISFP wife LOVES movies.
Really funny hearing another INFJ talk about their ISFP mother (My mother is one too). I can totally relate my mom to your descriptions lol
+Joseph Vargas How cool I have not heard of that parent child relationship as much. I would love to hear your insight :)
so true!! Loved examples of people you know with ISFP :)
I tend to get along well with ISFPs. Theres some underlying traits i feel we have in common, which probably is a result of sharing Ni and some Se. Theyre really adorable people and are very genuine, idk whom else can be themselves more than..well them.
However there are some inevitable things i guess i nitpick (sorry) and cannot stand about the type. I cant talk to them about anything overly theoretical or deep, they get lost. And i get buzz killed. As for rants.. i dont think ive met or gotten close enough to ISFPs who would rant in front of me but i do feel that when they do, its for very.. stupid(?) reasons or overly subjective to their person. I guess maybe thats what you mean about being detailed... My ISFP friend often finds every possible reason to complain or critique food, while we go out a lot to eat, its not the most fun experience. I dont care much (inf Se?) as they do, they find something to compare in taste or looks and i guess my Fe absorbs that and it just sounds obnoxious, rude and unappreciative. Same with clothes. But i can say, ISFPs dress and eat well, they know what they like which i can find respect for. One other thing i have noticed is they will spend so much on sensory experience. $$$ on electronics or nice things in general, the next best or new thing-- they must have. And they are craving it if it resonates and suits their person. They really live in the moment, and it scares me sometimes LOL
You have described me entirely.
thanks for the love
Hi! My husband is Isfp and he is a great musician, with an eye for cool decor, and he definitely has opinionated rants despite being very personable and comforting. Lol!
That's so amazing! Also, can you tell me what is YOUR type? Just curious :)
I am reading a book called "Do What You Are" . The INFP vs ISFP thing is confusing. I feel as though I am both.
yup though i know iam INFP, i sometimes feel iam INFJ, INTP, ENFP and ISFP.
ISFP here. Yep you pretty much nailed it xD
Wow! I did not know that the smell sensitivity was an ISFP thing. Some smells can make me very dizzy...
This video just adds confirmation I’m an ISFP because I go on rants all of the time lol!
INFJ and my wife is ISFP. What you describe is very similar with us. Good job.
💚💚💚💚Thank you
I'd love it if you could at some point in the distant future make an "INFJ's take on ISFJs" video.
Also except for Ni, INFJs and ISFPs also share Se :) maybe INFJs also can have an interest in aesthetics, but just less consciously?
I'm an ISTJ on the test but I feel i resonate with ISFP more.
3:02 I turn into a 6 year old when I go to Disneyland! You are so right!
Felt attacked at having so many perfume bottles at home :)
She said my function stack is cool guys 👀
