In my experience, all the ISFJ's I know bar one (which totals six), make rather prolific use not only of that annoying habit of forwarding chain e-mails that bring spam and viruses to my inbox, but also these people, though in person they speak like ordinary intelligent human beings, suddenly turn into three year olds when they write anything less formal than a PhD thesis.
Examples from real life:
Hope all me little piggies get on, introduced a new guinea!!! Im addicted!! what am I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (this woman always makes extremely free usage of exclamation marks)
Cheryl that was you little school cutie!! too late for spelling ha!! going to bed. Night all x (it was unitelligible to Cheryl, too!)
me is off to beddy bye byes soon... gnight you babes mwuah!
yez I know, me wanty just tell yaz anyway ol' silly billy!
And there's another two who, if you look at their Facebook statuses, it's just a constant stream of outrage at the "sick" stuff on the internet that should be banned in their opinion, but expressed in terms that seem to go out of their way to be exhortational yet non-confrontational, things like:
cmon facebook sum sick stuff here dat shouldnt be alloud, tut tut now pull your fingers out guys!
And so it goes on. All of these ISFJ females are people who, in person, are intelligent and articulate. Three of them have degrees (by which I mean proper European degrees
), and they don't talk like that.
I guess I'm just wondering what it is that makes them do that, you know, put on this cloyingly cute three year old persona the minute they get into the written format.
I'm not saying all ISFJ's do it, but 90% of the ones I know do, so I wonder if ISFJ's here, both ones who do it and ones who don't, might shed some light on this so I can find it less irritating and easier to restrain the urge to just say something sick and mean to them, deadpan, just to see how they manage to express their upset in cute tones
