How is it bad that she is optimistic?
You need to explain to me how she is optimistic.

 

[Adymus]

Are they really that weird? I mean, in comparison to INxxs? Because I think we kind of take the cake on that one.

 

[ijustprotectedmyidentity]

can someone who 100 percent knows somebody that is an isfp give me a descritption on isfp?

 

[Lobstrich]

Google "A portrait of an ISFP"

 

[ijustprotectedmyidentity]

would you guys consider isfps aggressive?

different almost the antithesis of the shy infp?

Optimistic like a child. Very, very naive, She can't work in certain departments of the store anymore because people kept stealing stuff out from under her nose. She also has a tendency to come over to me and ask me why I look so glum, after all, if I *look* glum, there must be a reason for it...

Weird is relative. Sure INTPs tend to be relatively lazy, withdrawn individuals with really obscure interests and a really high "meh" factor. But we also have a strong badass bookworm leaning. So yeah, we're weird as hell, but it's a cool weird.

Contrast ISFPs, who (at least in my observations) tend to grow up into a bunch of interdependent pansies.

Of course, I'd very much appreciate an explanation of what makes these people worthwhile associates, surely they're good for something... I just can't think of what.

Stealing from right under her nose? :S

Wouldn't auxiliary Se help her notice these things?

My brother is an ISFP - words that I think would described him well are quiet, gentle, laconic, easy going - I don't think he's someone you could dislike - at most you'd be indifferent to him.

He's interested in things like music, animals, cars, TV/movies, computers and some sport (more watching than playing) - he does seem to appreciate aesthetics a lot as mentioned in ISFP descriptions, although he isn't particularly creative himself. He's studying 1st year Economics and Commerce at university - not sure but it doesn't seem like a career that would attract many ISFP or be that well suited, but he's doing OK so far. I introduced him to personality type but he didn't seem very interested.

I don't think he's weird at all and is quite passive - I can't remember him ever getting enraged - his moods are generally stable. If he's feeling bad he doesn't tend to unload it on others, he'll just wallow in his own self pity.

x^4 ty for the description. if you need any type descriptions i can give u my limited real life examples of people i know.

x to the 4 have u met an infp? would u say isfps are close to infps? the differences?

ummm question, would you say that they are judgemental as in they use their Se to make observations and thenare convinced by them?

are they opionated? quick to judge?

or are they more skeptical and wait for more information

 

[Thoughtful]

I suppose she could be INFP. though the confirmed INFP I know is a lot more cynical.

I don't think she'd be quite as annoying if she weren't always so confoundedly and consistently cheerful: "It's a menial shelving job... It's meant to be endured not enjoyed, so wipe that silly grin off your face."

I've only met one INFP guy that I've recognised (I don't really come across them in everyday life) - main differences compared to my brother was he was more socially awkward and more of a misfit at school than my brother (probably partly because of the sensate vs inuitor difference) - although he did have friends (most were INTJ I think - though my memory is hazy) he was into music, art, TV and movies, but didn't like sports or cars like my brother. He studied architecture for a while then dropped out of uni or was suspended.

My brother is not judgmental or opinionated at all - he doesn't use Se to make strong judgements or opinions - I guess the information from Se comes back to the lead Fi which is an internal decision making process (directed inwards - meant for the user) not an external DM process like Te or Fe (which is directed outwards).

He is reasonably skeptical at times (but aren't most people are skeptical to some extent?) and he does tend to leave decisions late like most perceivers.

If by weird, you mean "deviates greatly from the norm," then no.

 

[Words]

"Weirdo's"? I'd say they are primarily ordinary[which is interesting in its own way]. My mother is quite the average mother.

 

[asdfasdfasdfsdf]

so i just got done reading the isfp portrait and.. well.
i think i would really like these people.
i can see some strong similarities between that portrait and myself and i cant see anything to dislike... anyone know if isfp intp relationships work well?

Should you really rely on type for that?

Ah yeah okay, that kind of optimistic. I know what you mean.
Can't stand them either.

I don't think all ISFP's are like that though.. Just like every INTP is not pro-suicide -_-

 

[KazeCraven]

Are you implying that INTPs are, in general, suicidal?

 

[Ariel]

INFP's are not necessarily cynical. I just got divorced from an INFP I was married to for 5 years. A dreamer; not hard working; avoids confrontation. Definitely not cynical - an optimist (who optimistically but wrongly hoped that I would work like a dog to make his dreams come true, while he would take it easy). Hmmmmph!

 

[Lobstrich]

I'm implying that people in general seem the be fixated on the idea of INTP's being lonely, thinking, introverted etc. And therefore suicidal.. I for one, am very anti-suicidal.

To give you a more straight answer, I don't think INTP's in general are suicidal, I wouldn't know anyway. But I do, seem to find most INTP's kind of "whiny"

I don't see what you're divorce "situation" has to do with INFP's not being cynical? Or does it prove that they aren't? (Except for the part where you said avoiding confrontation. Though, that could be lazyness just as it could be being non-cynical)

 

[PapyrusAirplanes]

We're all weird.

All the ISFPs I know are really fun. Yes, rather sappy, but still quite hilarious and random.
