I've read that before.. This for instance.
ISFPs are questors, driven to find the pure and ideal, as personally and individually defined. Feeling may temporarily turn outward, but cannot be long sustained beyond its cloistered home. If the individual has values greater than herself, feeling may express itself in valiant acts of selflessness.
ISFJs are driven by the conventional, by 'should's and 'ought's; ISFPs internalize their Feeling (by nature a judging function) which bursts out spontaneously and leaves as quickly and mysteriously as it came.
Because of these variant expressions of Feeling judgement, ISFPs are sometimes confused with ESFJs, but keep themselves more aloof, more often concealing the feelings that ESFJs are so apt to expose.
but interesting way of putting it. Yeah, it is energy costing.. I see people who can sustain it, and that's not me at all. I don't even understand that. Some things have to be done though.
I'd say isfp were pretty non judgemental in that sense.
Eye, I'd agree with you. ISFPs seem more non judgemental than most types, typically. We all make judgements and conclusions, we also all make observations but we're not all judgemental, to be so we need to add subjective personal opinions or standards as the definition says, people who see a situation and yet do not apply their own morals or standards to them and therefore do not make a judgement disprove the rule you initially claimed.
Ergo, we are not all judgemental.
ISFPs fair pretty well from an outsiders pov, particularly considering ya'll are Fi doms.
I suppose it is something like the pizza shop I was talking about in my blog. Your own personal vision. This fantasy thing has got me thinking on ideals...
Well, as I've stated, i'm focused on ethics (for lack of a better word). Not sure what else could come close to qualifying on the same level of ideals. I wouldn't even say art has anything to do with the purity I'm looking for. Art is just fun and another form of physical therapy for me.
I know what you mean, I think that is really great and I love that in people. I just don't see that in me when I reflect on my life. Looking after those close to me, sure. That has always been a big thing. But being part of a bigger cause hasn't really happened. I mean I have fought for ideals on a smaller scale but I don't see that as being my dominant thing, fighting for a cause. I think when I look back I am thinking if I am strong and the people around me are strong then that is my part. That is my cause.
That is how I come at ideals I think. Really close to home.
haha. Yeah, we're basically on the same page.
Out of that one list though, only Rosa Parks was doing things that way. She was just coming home from work, and her feet hurt, and she wanted to sit on the bus. She was told to stand and make way for a white man. She didn't. But that was kind of a unique situation where something small blew into something bigger. I can't say I've experienced that, but it's kind of cool.
