Can you tell which is the ISFJ, and which is the ENFP?

First post is ISFJ

This.

Poor guy sounds like he's panicking and NOT handling the situation well at all. I tend to behave similarly if I'm in a really, really tight spot as well.

I wouldn't be surprised though that what hes telling you and what he's saying to his mother are two different things. To you he's confiding his fears and insecurities but I bet to her he's putting on a strong face.

Of course I could be wrong and he's just tweaking irregardless, but that's how I usually am.

I'm actually going to guess that the first one is an ENFP. ENFPs who are stressed can definitely act like that, at least I can.

I think the first is ENFP and the second is ISFJ.

Serious ISFJness right there: "You're a good person and a good worker", also - perfect spelling and punctuation

And the other one sounds like a drama queen

At first, I thought the first was an ENFP.

The person is making conclusions based on unfortunate possibilities. Analyzing the situation, realizing that they need to do whatever it takes to find a job and that that is the only way to keep the house, and sort of basing decisions around possibilities. An ENFP in stress would behave this way, at least a proactive on.

and I was sure the second poster was ISFJ. Kind of the motherly 'Oh, it will be ok, honey. Don't worry about it, it's fine.' They didn't seem to get it what was going on and what could happen to this person because of the recession. They were just blindly and lazily assuming/hoping it would be alright because they wouldn't like to believe themselves that such a terrible thing could happen. Total ISFJ reaction when scared.

Does this justify my argument?

I agree with angelhair. There is no question in my mind that the first post is an ENFP that's stressed.

Hm, yeah. I agree with you. Forget my post.
