okay, this is what I want to say, but would that be mature or reasonable?). Another more "mbti" ish advice is to practice exerting your Te function, which is your ability to assess how practical something is for others on a generalizable level (e.g. I'd say what I like to do to always keep myself on my toes is to analyze every impulse I feel: "oh, that stresses me out " why does that stress me out? "that guy's weird " why do I think that way? The more I do this to many of my thoughts and kneejerk reactions, the more I feel aware of what biases and weaknesses I might have. You can get an isfp that hates confrontation and prefers to avoid debates or you can get an isfp that is very passionate about what they believe in and is ready to argue their point with anyone willing to engage them (or not lol).Īs for an actualized isfp, that's of course a rather vague goal since what that looks like might differ based on what you want to becomes, or maybe who you want to become is not actually the best or most realistic way for you to grow, or whichever is true. For example, you can get a very jealous, loyal ISFP or you could get an ISFP that likes independence to the point of ghosting you all the time, or you can get a mix of both lol. Of course, there are nigh infinite ways for the same personality type to evolve based on the specific ways their functions were exercise or neglected and what values, habits and mindsets they can result in. I think this upbringing is what caused me to develop my Ni more than my Se and makes me slightly more preferential to being stuck in my mind and analytical but less passionate or driven to actually do much sometimes. I grew up with an INTJ sibling and for some reason looked up to them as someone to emulate all my life and am still best friends with them and we get along well (an atypical pair for an isfp it sometimes seems). For example, this article claims that there are two types of isfps (up to you if you want to go that far) but it essentially goes into what it may look like if you favor your auxiliary Se more than your tertiary Ni more (which is more natural) or vice versa (which is less natural since Se is more favored than Ni usually). But we all have a strong sense of how we feel about stuff, are more grounded in the physical world than the hypothetical world, etc.Īnother thing that is important to consider (to reign things back to just mbti again) is that a type is dictated by the order of the functions you use, but the way you use and develop those functions can differ radically based on upbringing, situation, people around you, etc. type 4s want to be seen and appreciated, type 9s want to keep things chill and fine, other types want other things. It's okay that I'm different, it makes me no less isfp because the way I process stuff is definitely isfp, but the difference lies in what I want and thus how I react or respond. So when I see posts of stuff like "do isfps like to overromanticise?" or "do some of you ever just get boiling mad?" and I simply don't relate because I guess, as my being type 9 explains, I tend to just swallow my feelings and move on rather than express them or linger in them compared to many isfps or people in general. And then of course, an isfp can be any type, but I see 4s the most which makes sense given the stereotypes and common characteristics. I see a lot of type 4s who are more individualistic and often feel misunderstood and generally tend to be more emotional and opinionated, and I also see a few type 9s, including myself, who are more passive but tend to be doormats due to their need to avoid conflict, and tend to not be very emotional or passionate in comparison to a lot of isfps I see here. One thing I attribute it to is different enneagram types of isfps if you follow that. I also have some key difference from a lot of ISFPs here and that's okay.
