16 Personalities Through the Eyes of the ISFJ 

Extra love to the INFPs

I have to always slow the video speed down with the subtitles on to truly appreciate the genius that goes into them.

I love the nerdy references, always. Phoenix Wright? "Search your feelings, you know it to be true"? Niiiiiice. :D

The INFP part! XD XD XD Yeah, INFP deserve more love than they receive. My best friend is an INFP, and it's just fun to be with her. ENFP + INFP time = randomdomdomdomnesssss!!! Also, absolutely true about ENFP having impostor syndrome about being a nice person XD

Are you religious? I notice you wear a cross necklace.

Isfj - Your coworkers sound pretty amazing. I don't know if it's an isfj thing, but I can relate to her struggles. Even if objectively I'm doing something well or at least acceptable, when it's going to be under the scrutiny of other people (especially social interactions) a heavy cloud of self-doubt trails me around. Perfectionism - a double edged sword. Thankfully, having feedback from others helps, whether positive or even just a reality slap, though the latter might sting the ego 😅 I think that some Isfjs do well in their responsibilities and in caring for others, but come up short in the responsibility of caring for oneself, particularly mentally/emotionally.

Also about the calming voice: I have no idea. No one has ever said that about me. I for one would not be the first haha.

@@amanda_means_beloved3404 Absolutely :) And bcs I know how much effort they put into things and always try to make others pleased / happy, I try my best to make my ISFJ coworker feel appreciated and important. I offer her my support whenever she needs it and praise her very often without being dishonest about it. The kids love her, too. She is a great teacher and I learned a lot from her.

@@lunarspirit1026 Amazing! You sir are making the world a better place with your generosity and kindness. Thank you so much ❤ God bless.

@@amanda_means_beloved3404 I think it's rather the way she talks (like the volume and the pace) than her voice itself (although she's got a nice voice indeed). :)

🙌😂

I'm an INFJ and one of my best friends is an ISFJ and there there are times when I say some conclusion and she's just like "I don't know about that". I think she's more capable of abstract thought than what the stereotype says tho.

I didn't really like the Captions on the INTP tho, but what the INTP said was wholesome af

@@ellem8990 Oh absolutely, I'm an INFJ as well, one of my oldest friends back home is an ISFJ. and sometimes I'll really relish when her mind goes abstract or thinks beyond the metaphysical world. admittedly though, sometimes there isn't a lot for us to talk about 😂we are more often than not on different wave lengths.

@@xandera3940 I don't really hang out with her 1 on 1, but instead as a trio with our ENFP friend (who we met when we were 7) and we definitely have fun that way. I've known her since we were 5 and I appreciate that we don't even actually have to talk all the time, but I would say we always can come up with something.

How many of those were in other people's heads though, like this one? :)

@@gh8076 247!

To be fair words from this video should count as “in other people’s heads”

Imma count INTP's words now >:C

I was just thinking the ISTP got really good (and accurate) representation in this one. I work with an ISTP; great guy. He's very into botany (I used to like Latin, now I'm over it, his fault), very into historical tools, from old military service rifles to antique wood planes; hunting, hiking any by-myself-outdoorsy thing. He shows me photos of everything he's into, and his home is basically a meticulously landscaped and maintained exotic fern museum, but I don't know anyone who's been invited (or allowed) to visit. Our new HR director just asked him to take his "knife Life" sticker off of his office window... I'm really going to miss him.

🙌 perfect!

I hate how warm my feet get because of my shoes, i took them of at school all the time. So if someone joins me, i'll gladly be barefoot on the streets! -isfj

@@applepatronum4934 I would join you ;-;

@@beefee7279 hahah let's go!

Isfj with an isfp sister--this statement is pretty accurate lol. It's so strange: she lives her life in extreme highs and lows, while I chug along in the middle with minimal spikes. It's a very unique dynamic lol, me watching in pain as she bounces around emotionally. Sometimes she gets into a goofy mood, complete with faces, sound effects, and strange dances. I would hardly do this in public, but if I find the moment appropriate, I join in and act bizarre with her at home. Our laughter is very contagious in these moments and it's pretty sweet :) there's nothing quite like being silly with her She goofs off 2nd to most, (brother takes 1st place) so we usually do the 'what-is-going-on' face and say 'you're so weird'. When I start up the goofiness, she gets a rare moment of being in our shoes and wondering why her sibling is so strange 😊 I have to mention that as a Kiwi, I already have the barefoot part covered 😀

DAMN i want an ISFJ sibling too -- very irresponsible and forgetful entp

theres a debate on personality database if elizabeth olsen is isfj or entp and i just think its kinda funny because theyre so different from each other

but actually i guess that makes sense tho. injf and entp have a lot in common, and then infj and isfj have a lot in common, so i guess it's not too far off for isfj and entp to have stuff in common. but infj and entp usually have intuition in common, and infj and isfj usually have feeling in common, so maybe elizabeth olsen is actually just an infj but she's mistyped because she's kind of quiet or something

They may even be my favorite type which may seem counterintuitive as I'm an ENFP, but they are my everlasting save haven and emotional support and I'd never trade them for anything!💖

But ISFJ's have almost zero patience and tolerance for new ideas

It all ends with a j for judging..We pick our fights. We are passionate and thorough thinkers .Sometimes it all ends with a door slam. I'm not saying it's the best method.

Yeah I... I'll take that😅 -ISFJ

Lol, I'm an ISFJ with an INTJ sibling too, and I cannot agree more! xD

ISFJ here, thanks for your comment! I'd love to get to know more INTPs, i liked the few i met.

@@applepatronum4934 Thanks! I'd like to know more ISFJ's as well. They are quite interesting

Infp here, i attract isfjs like moth to a flame. They're really kind and listens to my ne rants no matter how weird i can get and they're ALWAYS ALWAYS there no matter how long im gone but i just can't seem to share all my feelings with them cuz i feel like they're always carrying someone's emotional burden & i don't wanna add more.

@@talkingtoawall5123 that's something

Another INTP with a best friend who's an ISFJ (we're both blokes) he is a literal saint. ISFJs are so undervalued and it's sad because he's a legend and I know many ISFJs that are.

Probably everyone’s “a person”🤣

Same 😊

See, I admire that part about going against group consensus as an INFP. There are so many fallacies and cognitive biases it means you’re strong enough to avoid, and means you’re likely to actually follow through on your principles and what’s right.

Such an interesting creature

When I was younger, I used to call out people and argue about things. Then I became more strategic too and nowadays I just don't care most of the time - INTP

Lol same. All my teachers in school hated me because I'd call them out when they were wrong.

I got bored reading this /s - ESFP

🙌💛

Wow, i wish i knew this many ISFJs! -isfj

Isfj are the sweetest people really

I just want to say, I swear I see you everywhere lol.

My mother’s an INFJ 4w3, and she’s amazing :) -INFJ 5w4

Lol my grandma was an isfj also named Carol 😅

My parents are same too... An intp

We just care about your wellbeing that’s all😊

@@catherinem5471 But have you considered the possibility that the act of cleaning something without my consent might actually detract from my wellbeing?

@@MichaelGrundler I suppose I haven’t considered that and I apologize to all the people I’ve done this to 😁 and now that I know this annoys ISTPs, this will be in safe keeping in case I want to seek revenge! Maybe I’ll redo their entire home!

@@catherinem5471 INFJ here! While well-meant, it can totally backfire. I foolishly put clothes I meant to handwash in our laundry room and then forgot all about them. My ISFJ mom decided to help me out (without telling me) by putting them in the washer and hanging them to dry. I was not happy at first, but realized it was partly my own fault for leaving them where I did. We apologized to each other and worked out a better system for me (Si for the win). I later realized that one of the sweaters had shrunk significantly and when I showed her, she was in literal anguish. She was more upset than I was, actually. But I'll try to remember that such actions spring from caring.

​@@catherinem5471no. If You are a real friend of an Istp, someone who won their trust, then clean whatever You want. That's a favour, a benefit and your Istp friend Will do something for You in compensation. Just, don't do it with a random person who is not close to you. Because maybe they will be mean to you, and I understand them but I understand that your intentions are good too I like Isfj. They are chill ~Istp

You are just the real MVP!

​@@dearkristin Thanks so much, Kristin! 🙂

As an INTP I can already predict that when it comes time for the INTP to sing, they will either miss their cue because they are trying to get out of the house or just do a spoken word rendition of their lines.

@@DarthTach There are musically inclined INTPs... I just don't happen to be one of them... so that "spoken word rendition" sounds right up my alley...

@@jimclayson I’m not an intp but I still wouldn’t sing lol, I sound like a dying frog so i just don’t lol

Legend! Thank you 🙌

🙌🔥

There's enough "crazy" in ISFPs that I could totally expect something absurd and totally unrealistic out of the blue at some point. It can be fun sometimes :)

Isfj here and i agree with you!

me too

@@mxtanoiia Ditto -ENTP

My grandparents were also isfj and entj and divorced too

ISFJ can love really hard but it´s possible, the thing is in my relationship the ENTJ always drained me expect me to be there for her everyday which I did gave me hard depression and my ENTJ girlfriend couldnt admit that she was wrong. I enjoy my Freedom and be with people whenever I want to be.

Yes..probably because they are mirrors to my strengths..and very hard to conprehend😏

thanks for the reassurance that ive been looking for thru my isfj boyfriend -- sad infp gal

Hahahahaha

i wanna reply bc same but i have no words to reply with im just so shocked 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@@beep7634 omg it’s ok! Hi! I’ve been working through it in therapy which has helped a lot, highly recommend. For me I realised I had this constant need to entertain people because I always have been the “positive” one. I think we can get better with it though when we realise that people aren’t going to leave if we are ourselves and that Fi will be fulfilled.

@@Meg_intheclouds you're right! but before that i need to simply accept the fact i cant be liked by everyone lmao. im still a teenager so imma give myself some time with these things :))

@@beep7634 oh I totally get that- I am also still a teenager- I just seem to be more emotionally mature than other teenagers my age (so I’ve been told anyways)- it’s part of self discovery which I am still very much trying to learn- I like to pretend I’m ok with it but I still very much want to be liked by everyone as much as I pretend it doesn’t bother me lol

@@Meg_intheclouds fake it till u make it xD

That's some really original and interesting hobby.

As an ISTP I use my ENTPs as my thought-translators. I dislike too many words. If I caught myself talking too much and describing shit it is too annoying. Planes are cool but the real balls is doing effective stuff with few tools and improvising. I'll use ya to do the talking with an Irish accent.

@@junejuly6060 Yes, the one I know is pretty quiet 'till you get him talking about his hobbies. Then I get way too many details. I never tell him "I know" or "I don't have time" 'cause then he'd stop investing in the conversation and wouldn't feel obligated to give me his opinion on politics and religion. Plus, it's good to learn stuff, and it's soothing to know people are keeping handy skills alive (and in his case honed razor sharp)

@@BillyBob-lt5nr Kanna or Japanese plane for example is used drawing and scraping the wood towards your body, it is a pulling motion instead of a pushing one that Western planes usually do. 🤣 Being into woodworking is very ISTP. Also I get into politics or *state of being politics* not political ideologies. I compare times when certain things were better and announce my powerful disapproval. I am announcing my disapproval as well for the highly corrupt in-justice system and government and the corruot police when problems come at me. If they don't, I don't really care but because they came at my door it is time to fix them all or change country. The second solution is not impossible lol.

@@junejuly6060 That's a very ISTP take.

Well, as an INFJ, I can assure that the random conclusion isn't random to us, only to you and other ISFJs.

I get things wrong all the time. But I will in fact be learning to correct those so I'm prepared to be correct for the next time [insert topic] comes up. But is it really justice or just gratifying when someone admits they're wrong?

The "justice is served" is kind of a figure of speech to exaggerate how folks with dominant Extroverted Thinking tend to be a bit arrogant and pushy, being absolutely insistent that their way is the only way, so when they are actually proven wrong, it's nice to see a side of them that's more humbled. Plus, as a Sensor, I just find it funny when Inituives miss out on details that my brain would find more obvious.

Why am I not surprised that you monitored the sun's movement? 😆

And I thought I was being attentive…

@@dearkristin Well, it's kind of in-your-face, isn't it? 😉

@@MichaelGrundler 😆

Brilliant

~MBTI through the eyes of an ISFJ~ INTP: i love them, they're always talking about something interesting and they seem to not be afraid to be themselves. I'd love to get to know more INTP people. ENTP: yeah those lengthy explanations are a bit too much and too abstract for me but it's entertaining to witness two ENTPs go at each other. I also admire how they stick to their own set of morals, there just seems to be a line for all of them that they seriously won't cross. ENFP: fun people! I love talking about about *feeler stuff* with them but if it gets too abstract, i'll just stare into the void and nod politely. Also, what do you mean you don't know if you're gonna go on that 4hour train trip today or tomorrow?? And when are you coming back?? INFP: such kindhearted people! I LOVE listening to those rambles because i can see by your shining eyes that you care about this topic! Go on, tell me more. No, you're not bothering or annoying me. Have some self-confidence. Also, all of you are so artistic, i envy that. ISFP: i don't know many of them but wow, those guys are so free spirited, i could never. Love that they keep doing their own thing, just please don't tell me to be less uptight. ESFP: i sadly only know one ESFP in real life and i wasn't close to him either, just a schoolmate. He went around the school like lightning, he was gone so fast but he was yes, LOUD. However, i was one of those people who wasn't annoyed by his loudness... But i suspect i was too boring for him. ESTP: unfortunately i don't know many of them either and i still don't really understand this type. All i can say is: no, we're not just "winging" it, not in this household. ISTP: very cool people. I'd like to be this rational and good with my hands. I'm kinda nervous around them tho, their intelligence intimidates me and i suddenly have the urge to prove i'm smart too. ENFJ: oh please do have a one on one talk with me and dig into the depths of me! But I'd also love to hear YOU open up. My favourite teacher was an ENFJ, i'm so thankful for how she looked after us. The class groaned when she made us sit in circle for the hundredth time to talk about how we're doing in the moment but i loved to hear everyone's feelings. INFJ: oh we're so similar in a group setting yet so different inside. We link on the Fe-Ti ground but we can't really do anything about the other's dominant function. We dive into the nostalgia of our shared experiences but I've never talked about anything else with INFJs, maybe some occasional psycho-analysing of our friends. INTJ: i DO find their rants interesting and important. Please tell me everything, just let me be sure i have the time. Their knowledge also intimidates me, i look up to them. They seems so irritated all the time tho, i wish for some peace and happiness in their life. ENTJ: their efficiency is something i envy a lot of times. They always say the thing that needs to be said and which my Fe held me back to say it myself. I'm thankful for their honesty and i admire their ambition. They also surprisingly are able to have fun and chill in-between work. ESTJ: i don't think i know any ESTJs, sadly... I'm curious what i'd think of the Si paired with dominant Te. ISTJ: i like them a lot, it's interesting to see the Si on someone else. I had an ISTJ classmate and i aspire to be as useful as he was. And it was great to work with him on group projects! I'd like to get to know more ISTJs. ISFJ: i wish to have some ISFJ friends! I had a classmate for two years but we didn't talk much, my theory is that we were too similar and didn't know how to act around eachother. Thus, i haven't had the chance to see an ISFJ from an outsider's perspective, i only know myself. I think we're nice people? ESFJ: mom figure! Thank you for all the nice things you guys do, you deserve all the hugs. I WILL let you do all the planning for the events but please do let me know if i can help with anything. ESFJs gossip a bit too much to my liking, i'd rather hear about their feelings instead of what other people (i might not even know) are doing. Let's dive into nostalgia instead!

I have to fully agree on the event hosting part, I never do that either.

@@applepatronum4934 So interesting! I appreciate the fact you have an example for each type and it's even more interesting how the types you haven't been around much are the ones that get specific examples of who and when. You describe them all so kindly, I wish I was THAT nice! But ENFPs, YES!!!! You are SO RIGHT! What about all those trips out of nowhere???? I don't know if you have seen FJ's video of same types interacting with each other and the ENFP was like -Let's go to a trip -I already bought tickets for Greece for tomorrow -TOMORROW??? Couldn't you find anything sooner??? it's the truth. My cousin has done that. We talk, I text her next day to invite her to my dad's b-day and she is in Hungary and I am like 🤯🤯🤯 I also think INTPs are very interesting and ISTPs very cool and because I am very much of the handy technician in my family against all girly stereotypes, I love them a little more for that XD

@@CineShinya hahah your comments are all so sweet! Lengthy, in a good way. Yes, i think i watched all of FJ's skits and i remember the one you're talking about, it's very funny. As you mentioned the country, i have to say, i live in Hungary!

@@CineShinya and the fact you dug up my comment! Thank you for reading all of it. Was it hard to find?

I just wish they’d wear a damn name tag with their MBTI on it so I know this when I meet them!

Lmao!! 😂 On the flip side when you guys get stressed repetition with stories at different angles looks like psychosis.

As an enfp I do the same- I’m a story teller I don’t tell stories because they serve a purpose- they are just fun and entertaining

Isfj here! Love your comment, i relate to everything you said! I wrote my thoughts on all the 16 types in the comments too, i worked on it for more than an hour hahah... But now i wish i would've wrote in brackets my relation to them too, like (mom)!

@@applepatronum4934 Oh dear! Thank you for even taking the time to read my comment! I am glad and a little surprised honestly someone agreed with my point of view! I really wanna read yours now and see fully your perspective, so I have some research to do in the comment section 🤣 (I also relate to how long your comment took to be done...mine too especially trying to make it shorter 🤣)

@@CineShinya ahw cute❤️

It will likely be a long wait. Probably last. But a very exciting series. Very good and insightful!! - fellow infj

@@calmingbabysleep1256 Yes, I feel the same, I love seeing how each type interacts with one another. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a type that hears out of us, "Blah blah blah yap yap yakidy shmackidy, ha ha

My sister is an ISFJ and my dad is a ESFJ

Привет

@@Abvgdejziklmnoprst Привет.

learn about Fi and try figure out if he uses it a lot of not

Say hi next time! 👋 😁

Sounds tough.

It's lovely to hear that us ESFJs can be nice people 😳. Do we really need this type of discussion? All unhealthy types can irritate each other.

@@milaalaniva775 Some types will be irritated more by particular types of behavior than others, so while one form of unhealthy behavior might roll off their back, others they will be less able to cope with.

Interestingly enough in the ENTJ scene there are actual hints that a green screen has been used. Just look at the top of the U near the end.

^CLASSIC Michael

@@MichaelGrundler How do you do that?!

@@nickmerchant4588 I only noticed it after reading your comment. At first I wasn't sure whether you meant the green background or some video artefacts, so I watched the scene again and paid particular attention to anything green (and also the boundary between foreground and background), knowing that that's where something like that most likely would occur. I guess remembering Kristin's Instagram story about wearing a green shirt in front of a green screen also helped pointing me in the right direction. So basically typical Se attention to detail and Ni pattern recognition with a pinch of Ti reasoning.

As an ESFJ I am delighted with this and can also confirm it. 🎄

as an ISFJ I admire the ISTJ's logic it's so grounding and refreshing at the same time! lol I tend to have ISTJ friends! love them!
