The ISFP's masterpiece is their own life! Ours is are our own canvas.

[@Raphsophomes]

My god your annoying...

[@MrSgunn62]

Those words paint the most beautiful charmed life. I am so grateful for mine.

[@xdtijnntssyu3314]

I don’t have a life tho so you’re wrong talk about yourself

[@robertocortes5708]

As an ISFP and a 'math' person I wasn't sure if I was could describe myself as an 'artistic' person. Going on a little deeper I can say that I am the only one of my workplace that really gets into the process of making charts and plotting the numbers. Mostly no one cares if the font size is too small for example, or if the colors express what we are trying to communicate to our audience (using red for a high risk deal, for example). So, yeah I guess I have an 'artistic' side after all, thank you for making me realize this. Loved it!

[@xdtijnntssyu3314]

I’m ISFP and I’m not artistic and I don’t like math lol

[@meghansullivan6812]

Me but when I do PowerPoints for real!!!

[@icewarriorr]

This is so me when I work with numerals too. And it’s frustrating when I see people don’t even see the distinction, well, all that matters is actually the accuracy and how useful things are, especially with math, and so all that people bother are, the numbers and what it means? I’m swallowing that one up even-though it’s a hard one, that it’s just our thing to do and that’s all that matters.

[@OptiVida]

Me too! I came to the same realization the same way as you. I, as an ISFP, spend way too much time making spreadsheets, charts, even paragraphs - just right!

[@rainbowstarks]

I thought I was an INFP for years until this week. And I felt emotional watching this because your video described me so well, like I hadnt known myself before. Thank you :)

[@roisinnigcrainn7722]

I'm exactly the same. The 16Personalities quiz focuses too much on "Se/Si likes real-life, Ne/Ni likes imagination". Not the case! I've met heaps of INFPs with a more grounded attitude than me at times! It's moreso about where you draw energy from. If you're an artist, think of it this way: does your best work come when you've spent time thinking/conceptualising, or when you've spent time exploring and experiencing? Therein lies the TRUE difference between INFP and ISFP!

[@xdtijnntssyu3314]

take the test and you will know

[@rainbowstarks]

@@roisinnigcrainn7722 from what you've said, I should be an ISFP then. I keep testing INFP but a lot of my thinking and analysing about things comes from anxiety and it doesn't feel right to me. I do my best art and am most inspired I am out experiencing life and not thinking about how the world works. Edit: the jury is still out though bc I am very future and imagination focused and find it hard to focus on the present unless its super enjoyable. Lol

[@huyen5990]

ive been stucked in the same spot feeling unmotivated for a very long time and this podcast made me realize my blindspots. thank you so much. i feel the energy to do things now.

[@Exploreeee]

Oh my god. When you mention that example about parents fighting, you really frightened me about how accurate you were!

[@cassieb1860]

Wow, I am blown away with this podcast. I grew up in a large family of extroverts. I even married one. (They are EVERYWHERE!!!) At 52, they still don't get me. This podcast is the story of my life. The conformity of social norms just doesn't feel comfortable to me like it does to my family who are all in the military or competitive sales. I had to laugh at the trend of touch screen monitors. I HATE THOSE! I first saw them in a restaurant (Olive Garden) and just had a very sad feeling of what I can express as a loss. My husband thought it was weird I felt that way, saying that it was just efficient. Antonia's advice from 21:00 to 24:30 was great. Thank you for the podcast. I feel like I just had a major pep-talk!

[@rlight7666]

I totally agree with the touch screen example. It makes me sad because there is a loss of human connection. Everything is so robotic! Why can't I tell the person I want the honey mustard on the bread "before" they put the meat on my sandwich like I do a Subway?? LOL

[@sannemar3358]

I really got into the extroverted sensing and introverted intuition. I constantly get too absorbed in my own mind and how I would like to see the world, that I forget to actually experience life with my Se. Now that I heard this, it is clearer to me what I can do to get back to reality once I am stuck in my inner world. Thank you for that!

[@morgan54123]

Do u know how to apply se in real life

[@goldenfox5434]

I think this was one of the better and more informative videos on ISFPs. I appreciate the realistic perspective on us. I got some useful insights from it as well!

[@stevenlaczko8688]

I don't call myself an artist and I'm an ISFP.

[@xdtijnntssyu3314]

Same I hate that they think we are obsessed with art and music I actually hate them and I’m isfp

[@Litewiz]

Very insightful, I am a contradiction of sorts, ISFP, im well liked by people, yet its the little things that torture my soul, like difficulties retelling personal stories, or a funny clip I watched... inclusive of the tiny little details that make up charismatic witty storytelling. Its like external life barely gets noticed im so knee deep in my internal anxieties that I cant express myself and my interests freely to convey my unique personality and thus form better relationships with other people. I dont relate so much to the 'artist' archetype, though im studying accounting, perhaps in an attempt to draw external thinking to the surface? I just wish I could communicate and vocalise my opinions in a lively manner like most people seem to do seamlessly, and not be so taciturn...

[@11yearsago54]

I feel u 🥺

[@zucchininoodles4513]

Yup. Me too

[@icewarriorr]

Hey Antonia and Joel, If you’re reading this, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication in producing content that really make a difference in people. I remember listening to your podcast on the function of Te and how you have made the distinction between efficiency versus effectiveness, I’m holding onto that principle ever since! I mean, that’s exactly what kept me away from properly using my Te, because each time I attempted to be efficient, I cut too many corners and rip away people’s input and feelings to keep the system running, and the dissonance that comes with it is just too much for me. What follows is an intense disdain of anything that needs me to be efficient, yet I become hypersensitive when I’m not seen as efficient. I guess that’s pretty reflective of how bad I am with my Te, it has become this shady, condescending side of mine I struggle to understand or master for good. I should’ve seen that one coming long time ago when I used to think that I’m some TJ or TP type, whose rationale was simply misunderstood, and that’s exactly because my thinking functions are showing up half-cooked and those “thinking” types will never have that problem of putting out an undercooked rationale like I do! After listening to your Te podcast, I became more selective with my Te, I realised I value people more than the system we make, and I have to do exactly that, so system or order that comes at the cost of unnecessarily putting people down is not sustainably effective. Trust me, seeing the pure joy on the faces of people who love me when they see me tangibly valuing their presence and their interests, I feel a liberation I never knew I needed. I’ve been in an Fi-Ni loop ever since I started schooling. I remember my early teenage times that did see manifestations of Se, I was heavy on trends, music and adrenaline, too bad that I’m brought up in a socially deprived situation, and my Fi-Ni loop has grown really resistant of change, the cognitive dissonance was extremely difficult to break out of, and even corrosive to my wellbeing. I became a reckless, blunt and hypersensitive person, at times indulgent, even selfish at my worst back then, before retracting inwards just altogether. I’ve been extremely low on confidence in using my Se ever since, I’m that person who won’t call myself an artist because I believe art is much superior to my ability. I’ve amended most of my vices these days, I’m better with empathy and exerting caution, but my hypersensitivity that comes from the unresolved chains of that Fi-Ni loop is still catching up to me. My upbringing really values skills the that comes with Te, or are least an intuitive, and it really made things harder for me to just come up and say that I’m a present-loving, perceptive simpleton without being made less valuable for doing so.

[@taysan101]

For the longest time I thought I was an INFP. This blew my mind! My god! This has confirmed that I AM AN ISFP!!!!!!!!

[@EmilyGrace-do7lj]

Yes! For years I thought I was an INFP as well and recently retook the MBTI test with an ISFP outcome, lightbulb!

[@ajasimone244]

Same !

[@meghansullivan6812]

Saaaame. All our retakes must’ve been once we ~came into ourselves more!! 🤩

[@Enigma96969]

Two of my sisters are ISFPs and my wife, I’m a INTJ and I have to be careful with criticism with them because they are very sensitive. But they do help me be more social when I let them lol

[@zucchininoodles4513]

💯

[@maeryntorres8836]

I relate so much to how you explained this personality type. I used to struggle expressing how I felt. For example, I remember that in my high school English class we tackled hard subjects like the holocaust, and oppression, and our idea of justice, and were supposed to express what we thought. I had such a hard time because I had been considering what I felt and it was complicated; I had no idea how to put into words. Organizing myself into a strict plan has always been hard for me and I have always felt sorry for my family members who have had to struggle through relationships, in order to know their boundaries and know how they feel, while I could do it intuitively.

[@shamamasaeed]

I've felt exactly like this, hard to express what I am thinking and not knowing how to articulate how I am feeling about things, I just 'know'. I find it hard to articulate my views about things in the world but at the same time I respect and understand other people's individuality and can easily see them on their level. I don't see myself as an artist, never have. Maybe bcos I recently typed myself as isfp and being typed as a different mbti for years due to a history of trauma

[@ASmileSuitsYou]

Relegating deadlines and project management to the 3 year old in the car is by far the most relatable piece in the entire podcast for me 😂

[@eyeloveyousoul9497]

I am an ISFP and resonate with this soul deeply. Thank you for this. Gratitude

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

Its not just isfp's that think touch screen ordering is evil. As an intp I think that is the rudest thing you can do to a customer and defeats the purpose of the eat out experience.

[@Dani-jo9yr]

Yep! My hubby is ISFP- building concrete expert and bodybuilder- he is making his body his art! Very interesting! So they are very interesting creatures, that’s for sure 👍✅💐💪💝

[@Raphsophomes]

Well.. it depends on why he does It... You could call anything art..

[@TheBlaine]

I dont see myself as an artist as I dont feel creative 😕 but I love artists and admire them 💜

[@redinkrose8840]

I’ve always said I love to make people think or feel in a different way. It’s nice to hear this and that people can understand it

[@optimist-ri1439]

Hi thank you for diving into ISFP. I believe I am an ISFP, I'm just learning about these functions. @ 20:13 "spending time in that inner world" is something I want to work on not doing as much. To become competent & have effectiness is a goal. Thank you for explaining where to start.

[@rogergarcia306]

Hello Joel & Antonia, my wife has brought up personality types. I did a test (and paid for it) a while ago (2014) and it has made me look at things again. Your podcast is spot on. I have been working on project for some years now, the Corona Virus has given me that push and now I have embarked on a new career path. Very much to do with information real time. This time has really made me examine who I am and my values and going inward. I hope Joel & Antonia you guys are ok during this difficult time in history. Thank you for a great insight into me !.

[@sirbradfordofhousejones]

10:50 YES. This is so true. This whole segment about art v the artist is accurate

[@Lisa-th4zg]

i m so happy to have found this podcast

[@dmitriy7861]

Man, this is brilliant and hit right in the spot. Especially the part about idealizing and living inside your head, not being able to connect with the outside world. I only wish I’d listened to this earlier in life.

[@rainbowstarks]

Watched this again and cried. Even if I am not an ISFP you got me to a T. Thanks for explaining myself to me when I forgot who I was 💜

I looove those touch screens. You get to think and check out the menu in peace and quiet without being stressed by the clerk. Just saying 😊 Where I live people aren't standing in line behind you either. They just wait for the first available touch screen.

I feel so understood. Thank you for this podcast

[@Lightwalkermaker]

We spend a lot of time personalize other person’s feelings. It kinda exhaust us if not manage properly.

Can you please state differences between an INTJ ni-fi loop vs a ISFP fi-ni loop?

[@zerofann]

this is so informative!!! idk if its good that i'm learning this from ppl who are more "digital" i forgot the word u used... so it means i suck and now i gotta learn about how our fi and se can help ppl is just WOOOW. its like... i actually have the power to do that??? like its that good? that just blew my brainsss up holy shet. a couple maybe more ti or te or other cog function is saying they value me dang thank u for showing me whats actually under my nose that i've not seen. arghh i feel like an idiot for not realising this ... like sometimes i see art as like it can speak to you on a subjective level but the whole info dump was like "hey actually ppl DO value this like high key" it just quakes me like wtf i'm valued!!! NOOOO hahaha sry idk what u thinking as u reading this cos now i'm confusing myself...so now i'm like shit i have value now urgghh responsibilities XDDD man sry u had to go thru that

I am resonating with isfps so much, and I learned that sensing with real world help me to come down just 5 months ago, yes my planing is shit but I get to the gol, also I do sew my own clothes thank you very much) It's so fun finally realising who am I, at least a little bit. Also, in your test I was mis trapped as esfp, can we talk about this?

[@NTDSP]

See, I don’t see myself as an artist but I’m constantly diving in to creative projects. I also have a really challenging time expressing myself in the moment. I need to reflect and collect. If I have a piano in front of me, whatever’s inside of me that I can’t get out flows out almost instantly with music. But I always get INFJ on my mbti tests - that never fails year after year. However, I never fully resonate with INFJ other than the death stare lol

I dont consider myself an artistic type.

[@hn308]

As an isfp I will analyse the principle of how things work. And ask why not do that? Example I will definitely value life more than money and money is just a system throw world has adapted to make all things work. But I'm the face of a pandemic why can't that be twerked just a bit to accommodate all people living on the earth. Can you get what I'm saying.
