ISFP

Hmm, could be but I always feel irritated when I see Michael Jackson as the respresenative of this type. He seems to be a debauched and disturbed character. Anyone else to represent ISFP's?

some of the stuff about this personality type is true for me, but some of it isn't, it may have to do with the variation of it you get, I got isfp-t when I took the test.  

Fake

I enjoyed it a lot thanks.

me to a tee....outside of the "drawn to the arts" thing. 

i never truly agreed with the whole "isfps are never planning" because i love to plan! i like making lists and organizing parties for fun, but i hate to-do lists. anyways, once i asked myself what i was gonna do in 5 years (which will be right after i graduate) i realized that i have NO plans whatsoever. dang.

I used to be ENFP until I decided to relax a little about judging myself during the test. turns out this is so much more accurate, it isn't insightful or surprising... It's just who I am.

I love my ISFP husband of 10 years and our ISFP daughter. They are a joy in my life. We are very different but our strengths and weaknesses compliment one another. We really are better together than apart. Their creativity and artistic way of looking at the world is interesting. I work hard to support them so they can we can be successful and happy. 

This was cool when I first was reading, now i just feel more lost then i was before ;) thank you Truity. you are saving lives

This thing is so wrong. Like Bruh, this isnt even close to me. My dog is more like this, and my dog isnt even alive. I hate this, It makes me feel like a goondac. 

What about people that are hurt emotionally, for example in their childhood and for a long time. can that break their personality? and not fit any of these 16?

Having got my type years ago, ISFP of course, I read this and almost started crying.

This is almost me to a T, although I work in data anlysis and computing rather than the arts (I'm about as artistic as a house brick lol), although I do like my work and results to look nice, and professional.

idk

Wow.  This was an interesting read.  With the exception of one sentence (I'm a small business owner), the description of ISFP was like reading a manual of me.  A little scary, actually.

Wow! This is awesome, seeing how accurately this fits me, but even more so, seeing that there are thousands of fellow ISFPs. There are so many like me, but I still feel super unique! Thank you all for commenting! God bless you today! ~Ellairë the elf

Totally spot on for me, especially the creating beauty and aesthetics - professional cometologist and certified makeup artist who loves fashion, interior design, I recognize quality, have my own style, and I feel good when my environment is attractive.

Does anyone have suggestions for ISFP jobs for those 60+ years old where going back to school is not (less) an option? I had a biochemist reasearch position and then my wife and I ran an online bookstore for 20 years. I can't go back to science after that long and I don't want to work for Amazon!

I found this site by chance while taking a class on understanding our personality. Took The MBTI twice at another website and came up with ISFP with slightly different % each time and had to laugh at the list of careers I was best suited for. It was only about 10 and lets just say I would never make it in about 75% of them. So my son and I googled ISFP careers and found the huge list here.

For all those folks who are just embarking on their higher education or trying to find their place in the world, there are two ways to look at a job. 1) Do what you love and the money will follow (though you may need to supplement with some part time grunt work)  2) Get a "real" solid, steady job, and do what you love on your own time. My kids are seniors in high school so this is advice I've given them.

I always remember that my dad told me he took a "career" test and he should have been a forest ranger. Well, he ended up being a civil/aeronautical engineer. And we went camping ALOT. Then he bought a lake lot when I was 13 and they have a nice permanent trailer and fishing dock. So he has his little forest.

I wasn't lucky enough to take such a test. I did pretty good in most classes in high school, but had to do a report on a career that uses chemistry so I found out way back in 1985 pharmacists were in demand and making a whopping $10,000/yr. Sign me up. So far I had worked as a dance instructor, swim instructor and life guard. And I LOVED (did I say LOVED) photography. I mean, I was going to work for Life Magazine and National Geographic. (except my mother told me that only men worked and it was too competitive, etc) So I went to college and while I read Glamour magazines in all my advanced math classes, I could barely pass biology and chemistry. I adored my social science and English classes and even took the 1year of photography class they offered and some business classes (towards my MBA with an emphasis in advertising). I changed my major every 3 months! Then I had to decide if I wanted to go to pharmacy school......  I decided to try it out but almost dropped out after 1 winter break of working in an actual pharmacy! 

Fast  forward 26 years. I am still a pharmacist. I work part time and I learned along the way there are SOOO many things you can do with this degree. I am sure this is true with many degrees. Back in the late 80's/ early 90's my goal was to settle down and make a dark room so I could focus on my photography. The dark room never happened but I did end up taking amazing trips every year all over the USA and taking great pictures until my kids were born. I became a stay at home for 4 years while my kids were young and they became to objects of my camera lens. Then I turned to other art forms- crafts, cards, sewing, and lots of volunteering on my days off.

So even if you start down one path, never be afraid to change. My husband met his best friend at his second job here. I'm pretty sure this guy has had about 10 totally different careers- Latin teacher, yoga teacher, worked in genetics lab (where he met his wife who is now an artist and sells her paintings for crazy amounts of money), software designer (where he met my husband - when they got laid off from this job, he went back to school to become an urban planner), worked for local transit as urban planner, now retired and works as tour guide in city and back in genetics lab PT- these are just the jobs I can remember. The guy next to me at work has not gone back for college degrees but he's been a ski instructor, bar tender, cook, sold Mercedes, worked dialysis unit of hospital, and is currently a pharmacy tech. He's also our computer guy, Mr. Fix-it, etc at work, builds decks, fences, etc at home, and he makes an amazing authentic cheesecake (not my Philly 2-step).

So never say you are too old. My husband hates his job. It pays the bills, esp since I work PT. I'd go back to FT if he wanted to go back to school to learn something new. Learn something new that excites you then put it to good use or make gifts. I sew and donate to Days for Girls, grocery bags to food bank, homeless shelters, etc. I make gifts and stuff for around the house. I love to write so there is a group at our church that sends cards to sick folks, bday cards, etc. If you like to build, make benches for a park, help with Habitat for Humanity, etc. Just put in your skill/passion and volunteer into google and you'll find ways to get yourself known in the community. Who knows, it can lead to cash customers?

this is definitely me, i'm very anti social and quiet but i love helping others i love art and have a huge ear for music this is spot on!

I'm working in sales and marketing and have been feeling lost in my career for awhile that's why I've been seeking what other options I have. I'm just taking it one day at a time but I just don't have the passion and drive for my job. I love make up and graphic design but I'm afraid I'm too old to go back to school and change my career. 

Some of these characteristics describe me, as I am a laid back person and easygoing, and nonjudgmental. But as far as being an artist, sadly I am not. I always wanted to be creative, but sucked at art. :( I have respect for people who do those things because they are truly inspirational! My sisterself are the artistic one's. I am the calm and supporting one. I don't seem to match any of the 16 personalities. I'm convinced that these suit sensitive personalities only, which I am not.
