ISFJ vs INFJ

If I were to explain this in the most simplest of ways, the ISFJ are more down to earth than INFJ, as INFJ are more into their own minds and mental patterns, and the former are better at memory recall.

That's all your INFP brain can come up with?

That was all that I wanted to type, I was in a hurry.
I can elaborate on that saying that ISFJ's lead with Si placing more emphasis on the known and significance of the object itself, whereas INFJ's lead with Ni and place more emphasis on the unknown and representation of the object.

Also the way they use Fe, ISFJ's are more likely to use Fe in a way that benefits themselves whereas INFJ's use it to benefit others.

Si is more likely to rely on past experience and consider things they have done before. They are more aware of internal sensations and physical surroundings.

I don't agree that they are more selfishly motivated than INFJ. I think that would be more of a personal thing rather than a personality type thing.

I think this is pretty good


ISFJs are more grounded and practical in every day matters. INFJs are much deeper thinkers and intellectual.

Buckminster Fuller worked the vanguard, who advocated such phrasings as "going instairs and outstairs", considering when you use stairs you are going in and out in relative accordance to the Earth - that up and down hearkened back to flat-earth theory of the bible.

Was Buckminster Fuller a sense type, seeing so well for what things were?

The biggest difference I've noticed is in social tier. ISFJs are usually near the top with the ESFJs and ESTPs (I've noticed a lot of them in a position that's essentially the quiet friend of an ESFJ). Although INFJs sometimes have a lot of friends, their main social group tends to be more toward the bottom tier, with the INTPs and INTJs.

What I said probably mostly applies to females. I think most male feelers have a social disadvantage, sadly.

If there really are so many SFJs then they can't all be popular.
