The ISFJ personality type is one of the most common personality types globally.
Despite being so prevalent, many people are not even aware that they are an ISFJ.
People with this personality type may often feel misunderstood, or feel like they're living
in a stranger's body.
In this video, we will highlight the traits and signs most commonly associated with the
ISFJ personality type, to give you an idea of what makes an ISFJ, a true ISFJ.
1.
Project-oriented They are driven by a sense of responsibility
to their environment, and to those with who they interact with.
This commitment causes them to be highly dependable, and punctual for any obligation or appointments.
This punctuality is seen even when they could use the extra sleep.
More than anyone else, ISFJs know how to make sure every project is completed with precision
and detail.
They enjoy completing tasks because it brings about order in an otherwise chaotic world.
When the job is done right, they can take comfort in knowing everything is where it
should be.
2.
Sensitivity Their thoughtfulness allows them to see the
needs of other people before they express them themselves.
For example, if you're going out for dinner, your ISFJ friend might offer to pay because
she knows you're strapped for cash.
They notice what others need, and then help them get it.
This doesn't mean that they are pushovers, but helping the ones they care about becomes
a priority in their life when they care about someone.
However, their sensitivity makes them more cautious in their approach to people and relationships.
This cautiousness, is often viewed as shyness by others who haven't gotten to know the ISFJ
person that well.
3.
Loyal ISFJs place a high importance on their close
relationships with family members and friends.
The concept of trust is very important to the ISFJ.
Therefore, betrayal is something that can never be taken lightly or easily forgiven.
When you receive unconditional love from an ISFJ, you have found not just a best friend,
but a person who will be by your side for the long haul.
4.
Intuitive People often turn to ISFJs for advice and
feedback.
They can help people solve problems when they're at an impasse, by drawing from their subjective
observations.
Their intuition allows them to sense what others are feeling and thinking, without having
to ask outright questions.
This ability enables their friends and family members to express themselves honestly about
issues that threaten their well-being.
This ability allows them the freedom of being completely honest in return.
5.
Action-oriented ISFJs don't like standing still or being idle.
It is impossible for an ISFJ to sit back and relax while waiting for something good to
happen.
They are naturally driven to initiate projects and get things done.
Their practical nature helps them find creative solutions to everyday problems with their
hands-on approach.
6.
Selfless They feel a strong sense of responsibility
for the well-being of others, so they are always willing to help out or offer advice
when needed, even if it means putting themselves last on the list.
Because ISFJs are constantly giving without asking for anything in return, they can easily
become drained or run down.
If you are an ISFJ, be sure to get plenty of downtime, free from any obligations or
distractions, to rejuvenate and recharge batteries.
7.
Calm under pressure When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
That's certainly true for ISFJs.
In the face of chaos, they remain cool, calm, and collected.
They can always stay focused to get the job done right, even when everyone else is losing
their heads.
ISFJs dislike conflict, but enjoy helping others resolve disputes peacefully by using
a logical approach.
8.
Committed ISFJs believe that once you have made a promise,
you must follow through no matter what obstacles come your way.
If you don’t follow through, an ISFJ would believe that you cannot be true to yourself
or anyone else who has put their trust in you.
Once they commit themselves to something or someone, there's nothing that will stop them
from fulfilling their duties.
9.
Self-sacrificing ISFJs are not afraid to give up what they
want for themselves, so that someone else can have it instead.
As long as they know the person really wants or needs it more than they do, there is no
hesitation.
For example, if you ask an ISFJ for a favor and they don’t have time at that moment,
but they know that they will be able to make time later, they won't hesitate to say yes
because their generosity takes precedence over their convenience.
10.
Cautious ISFJs take great precautions to avoid making
mistakes in everything they do.
Because they enjoy helping others, and feel a sense of duty towards honoring commitments,
they will complete tasks no matter how long it takes to get the job done right.
They're always weighing the pros and cons of every situation before they decide what
to do next.
11.
Reliable If there's one thing they hate, it's letting
other people down.
Not only are they naturally selfless and giving, but also reliable and responsible.
This trait makes them the person you can depend on when you need help or advice.
12.
Mature ISFJs mature much later in life than most
other personality types.
This might be due to the fact that they have an innate desire to please others, and their
strong inner-belief that everyone is inherently good at heart, even in the face of obvious
red flags.
Even when they learn how the world works, they retain a child-like wonder that keeps
their spirits young and happy.
13.
Independent ISFJs enjoy being alone from time to time
to continue focusing on their personal growth without having to worry about anyone else's
needs for once.
Taking the time to be alone, or introverted, allows them the ability to rest and recharge
to tackle their next project!
14.
Resilient ISFJs are masters at bouncing back from hardships
thanks to their positivity and amazing work ethic.
This resilience makes them some of the best problem-solvers!
No one will solve a puzzle quite like an ISFJ, because they approach problems methodically,
and logically without emotion or distractions getting in the way.
ISFJs can see solutions where others only see roadblocks.
ISFJ personality types are known for their reliability, conscientiousness, and sensitivity.
These traits might make them seem like the perfect friend to have around during a crisis,
or when you need help with something important!
