I feel nostalgic nowadays because of my boring and difficult phase of life. It's not very vivid as such. How do you guys feel it? How often is it?

What makes you choose to do that?

Im making a playlist on Spotify about ISFJ as a friend. I need your POV to get some ideas. How do you show love towards your friends or ppl close to you (except significant other, it's another topic, strictly how do you guys show love to your friendships?) Thankyouuuu

What is it/why do you feel it works?

What makes that one stand out? Or multiple if you wish, but which would take priority if you can't narrow it down to just 1?

What makes you rank that one so highly?

Both my mother and my sister are Isfj and they aren’t that artistic at least not regularly, they do some artistic things but it doesn’t seem like a vital part of their personality. I’m sure a good amount of you guys are artistic considering Isfj is one of the most common types and every type can be artistic of course. I just want to understand if this is the norm for Isfj

What's unique about that?

As pure INTJ myself, I admire ISFJ in a matter of their appreciation for supportive nature. I felt they do some sorts of superpowers. I'm trying to find the which superpower type that can be given to ISFJs and I found this test. I don't come to often, and I'm not sure if you guys are interested in different types of typology tests, but it seems like asking about superhero types is something new.. But the names of the results are a bit unique.. https://www.banggooso.com/gl/210/?locale=en-US
by the way I got this result as INTJ... I want to know your result as well!

In middle school-10th grade, I was that person who was obsessed with what college I’d get into. I was studious and inquisitive.

Now, I’ve been 19 for a month and have been taking college courses since August 2023 after graduating from high school. I’m also working, and do have money saved from it (should be more than $11000 once I’ve fully been paid for April.) I receive a dollar raise in a month, but feel so… gross and aimless. I have good marks in my courses, but I am stressed about a 100-point essay I have coming up for art history (I have a 92% in the class) and am already noticing that recently, now that I’ve been working daily and for a longer period of time (and honestly this may also just be happening because the semester is wrapping up) I’ve started to feel just a bit burnt out. I’m a teaching assistant and normally enjoy working with the kids, but it can also be hard at times. I’ve been waking up an hour early to do early care for my job and am more tired than normal because of it. I’m stressed enough that I keep on forgetting things. I still don’t know what I want to major in and have been taking community college courses for almost a year now. I just feel aimless, and it’s making me wonder if I should simply return when I have a better idea of what I want to do, even though a few years ago I’d have hated that idea. I know it’s probably not smart, because I’m already from a low income family and don’t know what will eventually happen moving forward (how my interests will change over the years, that sort of thing.) I just feel like I’m fatigued right now and not as clearheaded as I should be. Maybe I’m just having an off day.

Idk if this just me or if its my personality, yall ever want something so you get that thing regardless of how hard is that thing to get as long as you WANT it? I can achieve basically anything I want even if it kinda sucks like going to the gym, memorising something but the thing is I need to want to do it I need ways to learn to want to do things because of course not always I want to do something like studying but If there is a way to make that happen it will make it way easier than just doing it without wanting to do

Do you think you'd be good at it? Do you think you'd enjoy the work? What makes you choose that role over something else?

I was just now thinking about how I wish I had someone to watch the twilight zone with (I don’t plan to watch it again until Syfy airs the July 4th marathon, though.) I know that I don’t need a romantic partner until I have friends, but I just lack social connection. On the weekends, I’m so very lonely.

Why that one?

Some person on here mentioned that we should all work on changing the ISFJ's reputaition in the mbti community by being more active and I have noticed way more ISFJ activity and overall ISFJ positivity. Lets keep breaking the stereotype together!

This probably sounds stupid, and I probably look like someone who's either mistyped or doesn't understand either MBTI or enneagram, but I can assure you I do (understand both) - I've done research into and have been around this community for something like three years at this point, and I'm almost definitely sure I'm an ISFJ 3w2, 7w8, 8w7 (self-pres subtype). And I think that's really interesting.

The way I do work, the way I think, and the way I proceed with my actions, are all undoubtedly driven by Si. My emotional and social outlook - Fe. My logical process - Ti. It's alot to explain how I've got here and I don't think I'm obliged to by this post. But everything lines up in the right order, to the point where on Mistypeinvestigator my functions are listed Si, Fe, Ti, Ne - in the precise order of this type. But I still fit the description of an enneagram 378, in every way possible, while simultaneously being an ISFJ.

Has anyone else had a similar "mismatch" in mbti and enneagram?

If you have an ESTP friend, explain your relationship with them. What did go well and what didn't?

If you don't have one, tell how do you expect for such friendship to go? How do you expect us to behave? What could go well and what might create complications?

(Who What When Where Why How?)

What makes you choose that one? How do you think your life would be affected? Do you think there may be a better alternative choice?

I think about this a lot, because it intrigues me. From what I’ve seen over the years, I’m inclined to suggest that most people, regardless of where they are considered to be looks wise, have had someone with a crush on them by the time they’re 21. I suggest this because people are attracted to so many different things, in terms of looks and personality. You can like someone for any reason (obviously, looks tend to be a big part of it, but.) I remember a crush I had in 4th grade - I’d liked him in part because I thought he was cute, but really it was because he struck me as being a sincerely kind person and I liked that. I hated it when he cried in class one day. And I remember crushing on Marty mcfly from back to the future when I was little. In middle and high school, I developed a bit of a thing for “bad boys.”

I think that we (ISFJ’s) are stereotyped as boring, yet also have a lot of great qualities.

I did the test again last night and I got ISFJ as my result. Can personality types change over time? I suppose I might have answered more honestly this time compared to years ago where I picked every "emotion" answer. I tried to be more honest with myself.

I wouldn’t call myself a good typist, but I have been into MBTI for a long enough time now that I’d say I’m a decent one.

Genuine question, was it a particular description, an introspection, a test result, what made u sure?

You're like a SIM-card, we're like a phone! Without you we can do nothing!

(You don't know our phones have a quad SIM😂)

Jokes aside, you're the sweethearts that deserve their personal sweetheart. I wanna be this sweetheart to you! What can we do to make you happy and what we should avoid to not make you upset, my darlings?

I thought I was an infp but guess what I’m not I’m an isfj it’s a big change for me
