What does ISFJ stand for? Hint: If you are here, you probably know.
ISFJ stands for Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. Taking a personality test and learning about yourself can really help you get in tune to how you interact with others and yourself. I have learned a lot about my own personality type through classes I have taken and through the Internet, but there is always more to learn.
If you are an ISFJ like me, here are some signs of your personality type.
1. You like your alone time.
Now, I don’t think I am as introverted as I used to be, but I still get overwhelmed if I am around people for too long. Introverted people tend to be overstimulated by people or activities in their environments. Depending on how introverted you are, you are able to handle public settings for longer or shorter times.
2. You like to stick with the facts.
The practical and realistic information is what helps you make decisions. You tend not to rely on your emotions, but you still let them influence you. You process information by thinking about past events, and you use those to help guide you through life.
3. You are very observant.
You live in the present and take in what is around you, and you notice a lot of the little details. As a person, I am sensitive to those around me, and I can detect changes in their moods. I can tell if something is even the slightest off with my friends. If you are Sensing like me, you notice a lot of things that others don’t, which sometimes can be a little too much.
4. You are so caring.
Since ISFJ’s are Feeling types, they feel emotions so deeply. Generally, you are very empathetic and value compassion. You like to see people get along and you make sure people know you are a friend they can turn to when they need someone.
5. You are very organized.
Structure is important to you and you like to keep your life as orderly as you can. Judging types tend to have the clean desks with their things stacked neatly together.
6. You make goals and stick with them.
Some ISFJ’s keep notebooks and list their goals, crossing them off as they go. Some just keep an ongoing list in their heads, changing and rearranging things on a daily basis. You like to stay focused until the end, and you tend to work first and then have fun.
7. You value relationships with others.
You are very loyal and like to make new long lasting friends. You like relationships where you know you can count on the other person long term.
8. You like fitting into social situations and institutions.
You like to know what you can do for other people and for the institutions, and you feel fulfilled when you can play your part. You don’t like being in the spotlight though, but you enjoy behind the scenes work.
