10 Signs You Are An ISFP

ISFP is one of the sixteen personalities in the Myers-Briggs personality test, and is considered to be one of the most artistic of the personalities. Imaginative, sensitive and possessing a passion for adventure, ISFPs are true experimentalists. Here are a few signs to help you decide if you are this artistic personality.

1: I Need Some ‘Me’ Time

Though ISFPs are friendly people, and are able to connect with others, they are introverts to their core. ISFPs love to take the time to reflect introspectively and recharge their engine. Instead of looking at the past, ISFPs use their alone time to think about who they are.

2: A Sensual World

Despite their tendencies to recoup in their shell, ISFPs live in a world that’s sensual and colourful. This world allows ISFPs to experiment and explore what’s around them to their heart’s content, sometimes finding ways to push their passions and desires. The world of an ISFP is also one of enhancing connections between them and other people, with an ISFP using their irresistible charm to deepen their connection.

3: A Sensitive Soul

ISFPs are sensitive people, and value harmony and peace within their friendship groups. They are in tune to other people’s emotions, allowing them to minimise conflict. ISFPs are also laid-back and spontaneous, and are one of the most comfortable people to be around. However, ISFPs tend to guide their sensitive core carefully.

4:  A Harsh Critique

Being a sensitive person is a double-edged sword, and it can’t be truer in the case of ISFPs. ISFPs tend to not react well to harsh criticisms or being confronted by someone talking harshly to them. This can lead to ISFPs being caught up in the heat of the moment, or letting their emotions get the better of them. However, once the situation cools down, it is easy for an ISFP to resolve the issue and bury the hatchet.

5: Self-Esteem

Because ISFPs are sensitive people, their self-esteem can take a serious hit if their efforts and skills are dismissed without a second thought. This can lead to them believing what negative people and naysayers have to say.

6: Curiouser And Curiouser

The world is your oyster, and this rings true for ISFPs. ISFPs are curious people, and love to explore the world around them. Having a curious mind also helps them use their imaginative streak to create bold ideas that speak to people’s hearts. 

7: Working 9-5

In the workplace, ISFPs tend to seek out positions that will allow them as much freedom as possible; careers with strict schedules are unlikely to appeal to them, as they loathe to sit in an unchanging environment. Moreover, ISFPs are not known for their long-time focus, however they are able to use unconventional methods to get the job done.

8: Competitive Nature

Despite being an easy-going person, ISFPs also have a competitive streak that can turn the simplest thing into an intense competition. ISFPs are also sore losers when they don’t win.

9: Get A Stress Ball

No one likes it when things go out of their control, but ISFPs take it to a whole new level. People with an ISFP personality are easily stressed, so when something doesn’t happen the way they expect it to, ISFPs can lose their charming and friendly nature and release the beast.

10: A Well Of Emotion

ISFPs are emotional people, but they tend to not show how they feel. Rather, ISFPs deal with their emotions and feelings internally, preferring to listen instead of expressing themselves. Only in intense situations will an ISFP show how they feel.
