I admire my mother very much. I think she is an ISFJ. She is a very encouraging, self-sacrificing, nurturing person and is quite creative and motivated. She cooks on a gourmet level, gardens, sews, and decorates beautifully. She has sooo much energy. As an INFP, I lack in motivation and am too stuck in my head to be so hands-on, so I admire that about her.
It's good for me, being so sensitive, to have been raised by someone so nurturing. I was never told my ideas or dreams were ridiculous. I was always encouraged to pursue art, etc., and my mom appreciates my sense of style, even if it's offbeat at times.
Even though she is an S and quite different in her communication style, she makes a big effort most of the time to understand me. She misses the point of what I say about half the time, but she doesn't dismiss it at least (as other S types do....they just tune out what seems like babble to them). I think because several of her siblings are N types, she is used to the way we talk a bit more.
As for a celebrity, I LOVE Shirley Manson (possibly an ENFP, according to the musician thread going in the NF section). I don't agree with all her views, but I think she's an incredibly articulate, intelligent, interesting, talented, beautiful and feisty woman.
