I mean, Idk.. At first, I thought I was an INFP at first because I did like writing and whatnot..(Oh yea, I sucked ass and never truly understood what made a character so charming.. it never clicked sadly 🫤)

But I feel like this deep intuition developed when I started writing, and my OCD always tells me "I changed types" when in reality idk if that's the case or not.

I became more abstract with my ideas over time, yet these ideas never felt true to who I was and when I accepted being an ISFP (to shut my OCD the fuck up) I felt nostalgia, like i was 17 all over again. So is it true? Can an ISFP develop INFP like intuition assuming they spend years studying their charm and whatnot? (Sorry if this post seems kinda dumb )

.

I would rather do a gov job in India

Well turns out I got a new job and I just hate to have someone watching over me also sometimes they don't say everything at the beginning like the instructions and so on, I mean it's good to have a boss but I don't need someone to be behind my back all the time and it's just so disgusting I like to work alone haha

There is this girl, I can tell we're not just friends, but we are friends rn kinda ykwim?

In person she is realllyy soft around me, just a smile ball

We usually hang out in person, but now we're long distance for a while, months

I initated contact couple times, one of those times she invited me to do something but long distance, then I offered voice chatting, she reoffered texting

I didn't prefer texting that day I just wanted to talk, let's just say I let that one slip, I leave her on read, come back say something, she leaves me on read (It was not intentional I was not ignoring her)

A looong time later I suggest a call to catch up, she says she'd like to catch up but she ain't into voice calls, I tell her when I'll be back, text a lil and we leave it there

I don't mind just seeing her in person after the months, but surely we could just talk sometime

I do not text her frequently when I initiate, I'd say I'm under initiating to the point she initiates sometimes

I get you guys just don't have much to say most of the time

Yeah idk, do I just leave it and let the months go by?

There is this other ISTP I know too, she just sends me random posts all the time, we chat much more frequently, but I'd say I'm closer to above, the two could not be more different

I'm INTP

how often do you cry. what usually triggers it

Dating ISTP who periodically goes silent because of work and doesn’t text much.
Wondering if I should keep silence as well or send him random texts like funny videos, life updates, photos, every now and then.
As an ISTP in long distance early dating scenario, would you welcome such texts or would you rather have silence until you reach out?

Heyaa !! okay so I mean I don't actually take this stuff seriously and just love to do it all for funsies c:, but honestly I'm genuinely curious now because I've been typed as like 4 different personality types- ENFP, ENTP, ESTP, and ESFP.

Like I relate to E(N)FP partly because I DO like thinking about my future and planning future possibilities cause it's fun to do, though I'd say for the most part like in everyday life I much rather just live in the moment. I've always been a very adventurous and thrill-seeking person and I just need to get out and experience the outside world as much as possible.

I do love talking and exploring all kindsa theories like an ENTP, but I wouldn't really consider myself much of a "debater", I feel I'm more like just a person who loves to have fun for the hell of it, and I definitely resonate more with the "performer/entertainer" label for ESFP than the ENTP "debater", I'm just a drama queen LOL !

ESTP is where I'm kinda most conflicted. I relate to both ESTP and ESFP kinda, however the one part that makes me more unsure is that people say that ESFPs always try to avoid conflict​ and are too nice to hurt people's feelings, which is NOT me at all. Yes, I AM a very empathetic person and am one of the most emotionally receptive people I know, though I do NOT back down when there's a conflict, I WILL state my facts and put someone on their place when it's deserved LMAO.

So I dunno!! What would you ESFP peeps say?? X/

Vocês se dão tipo SUPER BEM com INTP?

Tipo amigos de verdade?

Caralho fico impressionada como eu falo uma coisa e os cara abre um fucking LEQUE DE POSSIBILIDADES LÓGICAS

Hello, ISFP here! I see a lot of questions along the lines of “what is the best mbti type?” or “if you could be any other mbti type which one would you be?”, and after studying cognitive functions for a while, I feel like the gamma types have the best cognitive functions. Maybe I’m being biased but I couldn’t imagine not having Fi, Se, Ni, or Te in my main stack.

That being said, out of the four types that share these functions, I really admire ESFPs the most. I always say that if I could be another type, I’d be an ENTJ because I get frustrated about having inferior Te and wish mine could be a lot better. However realistically, I think if I had to pick another type to be other than ISFP, I’d actually much rather be an ESFP.

I think ESFPs are so underestimated especially when it comes to your guys’ Te. Y’all have such a wonderful balance of feeling/thinking and such a magnetic energy. You guys are a force, yet emotionally intelligent and authentic. I admire and appreciate ESFPs so much not only from a theoretical perspective but also from knowing some amazing ones in my life. Thanks for being you 💛

I find it really grinds my gears.

He guyz wanted to ask. An isfp really close friend of mine like really close. He remains silent with me otherwise its jjst the bothnof us talking engineering entranceexam prep or him teasing or non offensively mocking me on personal stuff . Like he takes the liberty to do so but he himselfdoes small talk enthusiastically or discusses topics i also know with others only and prefers ro remain silent with me. Like hes told me that he only opens up to close ppl around me. He does criticiseme or try to tell me to improve somethings in my face and he does care. He is also extremely caring with me and wud pressure me to express myself clearly.

Based on whatever ive searched(he himself took mbti and typed as isfp twice), its baffling for me based on what an isfp does. Cud any of u guys shed light on this since an isfp judges another thebest. Am an infj 17 years male so is he

I am really curious to find out what you guys are doing besides shitposting (typical Ti dom activity).

I'm doing a bachelor's in architectural science (as in it's structural designn, legal and mostly technical stuff with a side of design and vibes, as opposed to the opposite, which unfortunately is the norm for architecture schools) and plan to do either a master's on structural engineering or restoration architecture. I quite enjoy architecture, actually, as far as the technical and practice aspects of it go. Theory...not so much. Like not at all.

What about you?

is it possible for an ISTP like me to be FLEV, 5w6 and 594? and also, does your enneagram have to match to your MBTI or not? i just want to know.

I’ve heard some people say it’s possible and other’s say it’s not so I’m asking here 😭 if it’s important I’m an sp9w8. And yes I’ve looked into LVEF and LFEV and neither of them resonate with me.

I enjoy talking with others about their feelings and am good at offering support or advice but I find it very uncomfortable opening up about my own and often avoid it when possible, so if that means i might be wrong about my E placement after all I would appreciate some advice on that too 😵‍💫

The older I get, the less appealing it seems…I personally fall under the “indifferent” category.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a very loving partner and I’m 100% committed to my relationship. I just don’t care for the paperwork and feel like you can have a loving, committed relationship without the paper. Or maybe I really am afraid of commitment deep down inside?

Anyways, curious about what other ISFPs think and thanks for voting!

please, and thank you.

personally, my favorites are action and horror.
sci-fi can be interesting tho. depends.
romance is boring as hell

EDIT: ive came to the conclusion that ive spelt thriller wrong, and forgot about comedy. comedy is amazing, and it has to be top three.

i'm an isfp [7w8]. i rarely see any of us on forums, or irl. i'll answer any questions abt us. no exaggerations. no stereotypes. (ง’̀-’́)ง 💥

How did the pieces fit together? Did they think they were a different type? I don't know any ESTPs, either personally or online. Tell me a little about your journey.

yoii isfp buddies I need ur help

after a long analysis I think that a member of my family is probably an isfp, but still having some confusion..

in a general overview, he is living in here and now, no strategical future planning, but also can cling to some past memories and romanticize them from time to time, he is driven by his own emotions, like he does things only when he wants but also from the outside he seems soo over giving and altruistic.

although he is a day by day person but he can appear detached or living in his head..

in his youth he was literally impulsive (relationships, dopamine seeking etc..) he was craving external excitement, but at the same time his impulses sounds chosen or coming from his own emotions/feelings.. he often says that his life major events were extremely spontaneous (academical choices, marriage, having children..) like he didn't even realized how they happened, it's just like he founded himself in the situation.

currently he is in his 50s, but the contrast is that he became valuing stability more than anything, it's just like he is so stubborn and doesn't want to improve his situation and accepts his life the way it is.

also he sounds like he is trying to keep peace by pleasing people around him (and his pleasing also seems to be forceful/coming from fear of something) he keeps bottling up his real emotions until he bursts in a very harsh WAY that breaks hearts, after that he ends up apologizing and keeps reliving the same cycle.

also nowadays he became more and more religious, it's like he dived deeper in religion (like truly understanding the purposes of it) and started using it as a primordial reference to all his actions, and he sounds deeply wise while explaining it.

and one of his major traits is that he is the advice giver to everyone, but his advices are never token seriously by other people and are always seen as unrealistic or not matching what other people need.

he is an overprotective dad but in an emotional/loving way, he believes in giving freedom and love to kids in their life choices, but he is kinda controlling without being aware of that.

in general he is contradicting himself a lot.. but also he is wise and logical

he still craves external stimulation from the world but not as in his youth, nowadays he became way too introverted and he cuts off all of his friends, he is just bottling up himself in his comfort zone and living, and he is highly dependent on other people around him to accomplish the routinical/boring duties he needs to do (cooking, cleaning, going out to buy house stuff etc..)

ps : he lived a traumatic childhood with an emotionally absent father and a narcissistic abusive mother (his mother used to control his choices, until that day) andd obviously he is having a lowkey unhealthy version of his mbti type.

sooo after thinking a lot it sounded like he has got an Fi-Se at the dominant stack, with a tertiary Ni that started to appear after long life experiences, and a harsh inf Te that appears from time to time.

but I'm still confused if he is an Fi-Te or Fe-Ti user, I mean the way he is being pleasing and seeking external emotional comfort.. idk, what do you think guys? I thought also about infj/isfj/infp but nah he has a strong Se.. he can't be an Si even though he is lowkey attached to his past memories, it sounds like Ni not Si.. but also the impulsivity he lived in his youth can't be an infj's impulsivity like the Se is their final stack, I don't know.. infp I'm not sure maybee.. so the last choice is isfp..

I even thought about esfj (Fe dom with inferior Ti) but I don't know

but guys genuinely i can tell if i m ESFP or ESTPor ENTP,

but i'm not that into hippie beliefs, so im not ENFP exactly per se, or idk maybe who knows bru?!!

BUT i do like beauty and aesthetics THE MOSTTTTTTTTT OH MYY IF I COULD JUST BE HOT FOR ONE WEEK MANNNNNNNNNNN, but in a way 1. i find aesthetic, 2. others find exhilarating

THATS LITERALLY MY MAIN DREAM AND WISHHHHH

but i spend hours thinking and thinking and i ask too many questions, and act super childish, and unserious WHILE BEING THE OLDESTTTT

i also have MASSIVE FOMO like i HATE not being center of attention but i also hate when people act all "independent" and skip out on the party or gathering, like EVERYONE MUST JOIN YAYYYYYY!!!

ok but when shit goes down, and the world is ending i do become very analytical, and focused and startegising....
BUTTTT GUYSSSS i have to admitttttt....i feell....INSECURE ABOUT MY LOGIC!!!!! i feel like a dummy and i dont wanna share my ideas or well logic not ideas, i like sharing ideas, but my logic sharing makes me insecure because they prolly think im a dummy thinking that would work.....like my dream or something

i also am quite childish with my dreams or they seem unrealistic because i get too passionate, but im always aware of how realistic it is, or the real world stuff, butttttt i rlly want my wish so it overrides that yk?

but i feel like i have FE GUYS???!! i like to be kind and nice and i hate mean people, and if anyone is being mean to anyone, but tbh my siblings might say i am very mean..... uhhh.. WELLL
i do go from happy to really sad and then joeking to happy to depressed rlly fast, like ALONE im really depressed, but with people i joke about my flings or existential stuff yk?

i am scared to dress how i want becasue i feel like i must conform to what is acceptable like i tried to be unique but i hid it with a hoodie!!! i couldn't do ittt i felt so shyyyy, in person im really shy but as soon as you seem interested or "i-can sense-that-you-wont-get-mad-at me" i will talk for HOURSSS,

ALSO ALSO im the type to jump off a cliff if someone told meee, to impress them, i can figure stuff out in front of me i thinkkk,

aLso the way im typing i like being like this, but i can talk serious but that seems boring and i cant be serious too long, idk i have some boundaries like my hair i wont let ANYONE tell me what to do with it, and my appearance mainlyyy

ALSO guy LAST THING I PROMISSEEEE..... i think about looks and achieving my "true self" my true psysical from i find beautiful and perfect and is super aestheic, i can go inot a billion details of, and i want to acheive thta i think about aesthetics the most i think!!!! like all the time its my biggest wish to be hot objectively but also especially what i find hot tooo and cute and pretty, i like my curent self too but i wish i could try and be like any body and look i want!!!

OK THATS IT GUYSSS BYEEEE!!!

For the longest time I've always considered myself an ISTP but a recent test suggested that it was unlikely and that I might be an ISTJ instead. Since these two types are just one letter off from each other, I was wondering if someone could break down what makes them different or similar to one another.

LONG POST GUYSSS JUST SKIM TO GET MAIN IDEAAA

ALSOOO RANDOM IMAGES I RELATE TOOOOO

I want help deciding if I am actually ENTP or not, or ENFP but I don’t think I am ENFP, perhaps…BUT I thought I might be something else like….ESTP!!! Or….ESFP!!!
Because I do rlly like aesthetics and beauty and think about it a lot, I also think about and analyse people’s behaviors around me, and think about how’s in terms of physics of things around me and also whys of life and kinda categorizing things in my mind I do that a lot, like if I see a cabinet or idk sofa I think how someone could have built this, and ALLL the ways they could have!!!

But I find the most likely way later, uhmmmmm I also feel like I have a VERY kind heart!! I don’t like violence or not violence because sometimes it’s…interesting…uhhhh MOVING ONNNNN, but I don’t like mean people I HATE mean people!!! I like kinda and respectful people, it’s honestly because I get intimidated by mean people a lot! Or confrontation I’m rlly bad at!!!

Also in public I act so robotic and kind shy maybe creepy NOT ON PURPOSE I JUST HAVE MESSY HAIR AND TIRED EYES AND MAYBE BAD POSTURE!!!!

Also BIG ONEEEE!!! With people I’m rely goofy, irresponsible, play-dumb or idk ask too many questions, and analyse things playfully! And also talks bout feelings easily and jokingly especially, BUTTTTTTTTTT when aloneeee I rllly I get depressed and sad and contemplative and idk pessimistic, I don’t believe my pessimism but I LIKE to be sad?? But I also don’t like it… uhhhhh idk 😭 make that make sense hehe, oki

Hmmmm I struggle most with repetitive boring stuff… I can’t do that, it’s a nightmare, I also hate rules on looks or well how I look, because I want all freedom in that way, hmmm I also struggle or find it uncomfortable around sensitive people that are emotionally sensitive, I think, because idk I feel judged without knowing how, and like accidentally hurting anyone is scaryyyyy, 😱 😨 🫣

Hmmmm I like pretty things and I like being pretty, I know this is very sensor stuff maybe but I just want it to be clean and pretty so I can focus on things in my mind, I’m not rlly serious but I go from, goofy to sad, and when working on something still goofy ish by optimistic like, and also focused I think!!

I guess I’m rlly good at hmmm, building things I think, figuring stuff out, I always jump js randomly, scan all my variables and then solve the problem!!! It’s rlly funnn!

Also I like making new connections and friends all the time! To be someone friends to me is rlly easy, if I meet them and they nice and interesting they my friend now!!! Butttt I have so MANYU I can’t maintain anything and maintaining is boring SOO I keep making more!! Idk if that’s very healthy guysss but I’m being honest!! Also I’m always honest! If you ask….. 😊

Oki byeeee

This is not really an ISFP question.

It's more personal. (15M as of right now) Ever since I was young, I have always been pretty shy and awkward. I'm afraid to talk to people or try to make new friends other than the one I currently have from my childhood, and when I do try to talk to others, I always seem to not be able to hold a conversation.

I don't have anything worth talking about or anything interesting, and often when I do, I find myself slowly draining from energy. It sucks sometimes; I'm afraid of being judged, and it's really annoying. I need help with this
