Do any ISFJ's here have ISFJ friends? I am yet to meet another one.
ISFJ here, saying hi.
I'm on the internet half my life. Internet friends are the best -- you never have to help them move house. Ha. I love having conversations in writing so I can go back and study them. I love meeting new people and hearing new ideas without having to leave my house, at my own pace, when I feel like it. I can't stand arguing unless it's really to learn something rather than being a pissing contest. As far as figuring out technology -- I do prefer to RTM. It's faster. I can most certainly figure it out, because it's all very logical, but if someone's taken the trouble to write out instructions, I figure I can take the time to follow them at least the first time around.
Anyway. Hi. :-D

But, then what do you do when one of the manuals is bloated with things you don't care about and you spend a half hour sifting through it trying to find what you want. Oh wait, that happens when I jump into the activity, and then consult the manual when I get stuck. I've never liked manuals as straight up reading material. They're a reference to me.
I look in the Table of Contents and find the page that what I want is listed on, and then I go to that page. If it's wordy, I skim.
But I think you're right -- they're reference material. I don't read them front to back, I look up what I want to know. But I usually look it up and follow the instructions, because for me it is a waste of time to mess around and try to figure it out myself. I can, but it takes longer, and it's not interesting to me to mess around with the equipment. I just want it to do what I want it to do.
I need to increase my ISFJ locating skills. Where are you ISFJ's hiding!
Seconded. I want to try my luck with the ISFJ's. Don't think I know any though.I need to increase my ISFJ locating skills. Where are you ISFJ's hiding!
