'Haha, you have no idea how many times I have made this face, especially at work.    Hmm, lets say for a moment that population data on personality types is  completely correct. INFJs would make...|||Haha, I agree, though I was thinking something more like this for the last one...  639018|||I see what you did there, your profile picture being Sapphire and all, haha.    Can a dark side INFJ be manipulating? Absolutely. Does this have anything to do with this post? None, whatsoever....|||This was hyperbole for both ISFJ and INFJ meant for comedic value and not to be taken seriously.  I am glad some people found it funny, but alas, ISFJ sense of humor usually escapes people.|||When you ask someone to do something, and they do it...  ISFJ: Aww, that was nice of them.  INFJ: I COMMAND PEOPLE!!!  ...and when they don't...  ISFJ: Sigh, I can do it myself.|||ISFJ's definitely find beauty in simplicity and have and eye for what is aesthetically pleasing. It also gives us an instinct into things (whether something is or is not aesthetic and a general...|||I have even noticed types(notice that is plural) of faces for each personality. Your cognitive functions most certainly plays into your expression and facial features. Of course there are other...|||I have spoken about this topic in length, many times on this forum. It honestly does come down to perception, in more ways than one.  Firstly, you are right in posing the question of, what is...|||Many times. Due to our primary Si, we can be incredibly insightful as we are constantly taking in information passively. People do not realize how much we have absorbed until a situation presents...|||I have know a lot of people who have struggled with this issue, especially an INFP. It doesn't really have anything to do with type, but how we perceive ourselves and where our value is at.  I have...|||Wow, I am thankful this thread is still alive after all these years. I will go over some of the responses individually, but I wanted to touch on something first. Typing characters that have mental or...|||With Si, we pick up on the details that others might miss, and because it takes sensation and internalizes it, to a degree, its as if we are physically experiencing it ourselves. Fe is not the reason...|||Humanity is a bee hive, buzzing to and fro.   It dances an unseen dance, the rhythm: an eternal flow.  To the outside chaos ensues, never hinting of it clues.  But where there are footprints,...|||ISFJ's are a lot more discerning then they let on. If they do not do  something, they usually have good reason for it. A lot of ISFJ's do not  seek higher education. This does not mean they are less...|||This is understood, as they are both perceiving functions. What I was expressing here was the difference between Si and Fe, which you amalgamate. Yes, they work together, but to define Si by its Fe...|||I have actually used FPSs to describe similar concepts as well! XD    You got it backwards. Si would simply note that the objects are soft or aesthetic. Fe would deem whether those objects make...|||^ That one sentence is an example of Si,  perfectly. Introverted Sensing is an abstract function that creates an  impression from sensory information. To say that things are soft and  pretty make you...|||It might be my post here that you thanked a while back.  Though, I must say I find Friend B's internal monolog quite daft. Yes, allergens can be treated with small, consistent exposure, but they...|||Because of our inferior Ne, it is difficult to externalize the difference and instill the necessary framework for understanding. Any off the cuff attempt usually goes poorly, and can make the...|||Want(desire) is not the same as Need(necessity). Any one can desire to be understood, it is not inherient to ISFJ's, but that does not mean it is necessary for them to be understood. It is our...|||We are good communicators when we are understood. Its when we are not understood thats the issue. ISFJ's have very fluid minds, being our dominate function is introverted perception, but we have...|||Long have I said that the Need to be Needed was a misconception. Though there are those who put their self-value in being of use to others, this is not healthy nor the norm, but a reflection of...|||I agree with this for the most part. However, ISFJ will have a general understanding of the character as well, but due to our fluid minds yet concrete nature, will not trust our perception until...|||You have once before seen me approach someone in a manner you think is similar. With that individual, I was in philosophical opposition. Because of that bad situation, you assumed my tone with this...|||In what route do you refer? I calmly and rationally explained my disagreement with the person's post in regard to the subject of the thread and did not believe they were being purposefully spiteful...|||I need not another comparison as I am quite aware of the differences in our respective types. My desire was to show you are misguided in your observations, in other words, to express that you are...|||The issue with your observation is that it is surface level(the perceived, not the defined), from your perspective(mental framework), without understanding of the subject(your cousin).  What is the...|||Everyone needs social interaction in some form, we are human after all. When you do not get healthy social interaction(small, close groups or 1 on 1 time for us), it will effect you negatively, both...|||I do not find this survey to accurately represent critical thinking, it fact, it seems to force very narrow logic paths.  Take the first question about the jail:  The answers either disagree...|||ISFJs definitly have an natural optimistic side, but it often goes unseen as it usually remains a part of our rich inner worlds.  Healthy ISFJs have a balance of optimism and realism, that only...|||Gender: Male Hair Color: Brown Hair Style: Short, Ceaser cut. Eye Shape: Large, Round Anime-like eyes. Eye Color: (Pure) Blue Glasses: No, I am near sighted in one eye, and should wear glasses,...|||I tend to lean towards gish characters and unusual builds, prefering balance to min/maxing, as I am often a more solo player. However I tend to take up a somewhat supportive role most the time. In...|||Structuring my external enviroment seems to be the most helpful. Not becoming over-burdern or worn out helps me as well, and finding motivation outside myself when things go arye is crutial in not...|||I was not trying to undermind his efforts, yet he was self-satisfided after the fact, without actually putting forth more than what should be common in healthy friendships, thinking it was somehting...|||My actions were not understood, and so they sought a reason and placed upon it that which seemed most likely to them, which by definition is assumption. Its a common misunderstanding between NFs and...|||Its a solid article, not without bais, though. Its more focusing on unhealthy behavior, yet there is another concept that often gets blurred in with this. When ISFJs do something particularly, they...|||This is usually caused by people misunderstanding our perception being subjective as bais and unwilling to allow addittional information in. Its not that our perceptions a horribly skewed, its that...|||Letting it go, and seeing it for what it is. Not validating other's stupidity at your own expense. It says be angry, and do not sin. Anger is fine, anger is healthy, vengence is not. Take time to...|||I was over at an ENFP friend's house, after a few people had stayed the night. At the time, I did not have transportation, and her brother had to go to class, so her fiance was going to take me home....|||Its easy to forget things we have posted, and to misinterpt what someone else said. What else would you call this, though? Personal information used in a condecending way inorder to win an argument;...|||This was one of the first threads I ever wrote on here: Interactions Between NFs and ISFJs  Issues descibed in the above thread are occuring in this conversation. There are key details in what I...|||Let me me make my motivation clear; I must stand in truth. I value harmony and hate conflict, but I can not idly watch as falsehood is presented. I have to overcome myself, because though harmony is...|||Dribble, shallow, and unwarranted.  You simply provided a relevent data path for which to continue the conversation. You did nothing for him besides prolong an artificial conversation. So you had...|||I was speaking conceptionally here, because it depends on the subject, but I think I can give you an example.  ISFJs tend to avoid conflict, which is a good thing, until it gets in the way of...|||Yep, ISFJs do not actively seek to help all the time like most people believe. We passively notice needs/wants(due to a Intorverted Perciving function), and act externally acorrding to our values...|||I have long and tiresomely defended against the misconception that ISFJs have a desire to be of value beyond that which common to man. A seemingly vast majority of ISFJs enjoy helping people, yet...|||You assume that you can withhold all information. They slightest tick is a seed of discovery to an ISFJ. No one really understands the rich inner world of an ISFJ either, its a trait shared among...|||You are the more dangerous of those who wonder into this forum.  Those who outwardly spout type bias are seen as the trolls they are are,  but those, as yourself, who have good intentions, leave an...|||Just because someone is not willing to show something, does not mean it can not be perceived. Emotion has nothing to do with this. You are telling me I am not seeing the big picture, I am telling you...|||This is exactly why I no longer frequent the forums. This statement is so utterly false, it is repugnant. Its just a narrative that is constantly perpetuated by people who misunderstand personality...'
