I feel like a kid every time i go to the library.
I skipped there today..unknowingly. Pong caught me for that one:)
read up on this while i was there:
ISFP
Introverted sensing feeling perceiving
ISFP are gentle, caring and sensitive people, who keep much of their intensly personal ideals and values to themselves. They more often express their deeply felt passions throught actions than through words.
Modest and reserve, ISFPs are really tremendously warm and enthusiastic people but tend to not show that side of themselves except with people they know well and trust fully. ISFPs tend to be misunderstood because of their tendency not to express themselves directly.
ISFPs are patient, flexible, and easy to get along with and have little need to dominate or control others. The are nonjudgemental and accepting of other behavior in a rather matter-of-fact way. They are observant of people and things around them and do not seek to find motives or meanings.
Because ISFPs live completely in the present moment, they do not tend to prepare or plan more than it is neccessary. Good short-range planners, they are relaxed about getting things done becuse they are fully engaged in the here and now and like to enjoy the current experience result rushing on to the next.
Interested in what they learn and sense directly from their experiences and senses, they are often artisitc and aesthetic, and seek to create beautiful and personal environments for themselves.
Without the need to lead, ISFPs are often loyal followers and good team members. Because of they use their personal values to judge everything in life, they like other people who take the time to get to know them and understand their inner loyalties. Basically trusting and understanding, they need harmonious relationships in their lives and are sensitive to conflicts and disagreements.
Possible blind spots
The highly sensitive nature of ISFPs allows them to clearly see the needs of other people and they sometimes work so excessively to fulfil those needs that they neglect themselves in the process. This can result in their becoming physically ill from exhaustion and overwork. They need to take time out from caring for others to take care of themselves.
Because they focus so completely on their experience in the moment, they tend not to look beyond the present, and miss the broader view. They sometimes have difficulty understanding things in a more complex context. Because they don't usually look for or see possibilities that don't exsist at the present time, they don't tend to prepare in advance. They often have trouble organising their time and resources. They may have to work hard to curb their impulse to go off and enjoy a quiet moment, or participate in a favourite activity.
ISFPs are vulnerable to the criticism of others because they tend to take feedback personally and become offended and discouraged. They may be seen as gullible and too trusting because they accept people and things as they are and don't expect a malicious motive or read anything else into them. They need to become more asserive about their own needs and consider the implications of another's behaviour. By applying some objectivity and skepticism to their analysis they can become better judges of character.
