Note: It should be noted that the Myers-Briggs and Kiersey ratings
do not measure a definite or concrete limit on personality
characteristics, but rather existing tendencies. An individual's
personality rating can change over time or be changed by conscious
personal decisions. |
ISFPs are the
first to hear the different drummer. Many eagerly plunge into
new fashions, avant-garde experiences, 'hip' trends--some even
setting the trends. More in touch with the reality of their
senses than their INFP counterparts, ISFPs live in the here
and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed
when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually
represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may
eventually cut and run.
ISFPs may be quite charming and ingratiating on first
acquaintance, flowing with compliments which may (or may not)
be deserved. On other occasions, the same individual may be
aloof and detached. Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive,
especially in sport or table games, and may have great
difficulty losing. This competitive nature, also seen in other
SP types, sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a
willingness to take risks.
Organized education is difficult for the majority of ISFPs.
Their interest can be held better through experiential
learning, at which many excel. ISFPs will practice playing an
instrument or honing a favored skill for hours on end, not so
much as practice as for the joy of the experience. |
