Hello. I am a 21 year old female. For the past 3-4 years, I've been trying to figure out my MBTI type. When I was 17-18, I would always test as an INTJ or INTP. However, I have consistently typed as an INFJ for the past 6 months now, and I don't think I'm an INFJ. I've also typed as an INFP or ISFP. After discovering the cognitive functions of each type, I'm pretty settled on ISFJ, as I think it fits me the best, but I'm still unsure about this.
Here is a list of traits I posses. I think they fit ISFJ perfectly, but I would like the imput of others before settling on a type:
• I am extremely future oriented. I really do not have any interest in the past, unless it can be helpful for the future. I have a tendency to think about what could be.
• I am not a sentimental person. In fact, I sometimes find extremely sentimental people to be attention seeking, and I find people who constantly talk about things they find sentimental to be irritating.
• I am an extremely shy and reserved person. I'm trying to work on the shyness, but I've been reserved all my life.
• I don't have a huge social circle, and I prefer one-on-one conversation.
• I am concerned with the emotional well-being of others. I tend to be more intuned with the emotions of others than my own. In fact, I am a very closed of person who has been described as hard-to-read. I am often able to feel the emotional state of others, and I'm decent at figuring out what others are thinking. I also hate to dwell on my own emotions. If I'm feeling emotional, I prefer to write it down my journal than just letting it sit in my mind.
• I hate it when people go into excessive details when describing things. I would rather people get to the point when they speak, or I would rather they use analogies or metaphors than tell me pointless details.
• I'm good at figuring out if someone is lying to me.
• I'm good at picking out behavioral patterns, and I use this to determine how I think someone will act in a certain situation.
• I'm decent at analytical thinking, and deciding whether or not what someone says makes logical sense.
• I hate parties and loud crowds.
• I'm indecisive. This is because I'm trying trying to figure out what is best for everyone.
• I don't think about how things were done in the past. I look at each situation with a different perspective, since I think each situation is different, and you cannot compare one to the other. I'm also good at thinking of multiple different ways a situation could end up.
• I love theoretical ideas and concepts, even if I know they have no real-world application. I always think they have the possibility of happening, though.
• When I'm stressed, I tend to overeat, oversleep, get extremely emotional and blunt with people, and I usually just flat-out shut down. I also tend to feel very "sexual" or "adventurous" when in an extreme state of stress, and these thoughts upset me.
• I have crippling social anxiety, and my therapist told me that I may have extremely high functioning Asperger's. I know this has nothing to do with MBTI, but it interferes with my ability to get as close to people as I desire to. I like to help and understand people, but these issues seem to be getting in the way of my ability to do so.
• My family members tell me I worry too much about other people. This is because I'm always thinking ways something could end up, and I try to help/protect people. My twin sister also think's I'm irritating, because I'm always trying to help her fix her issues when she doesn't want help or wants to be alone.
• I am fascinated at how the human mind works. I'm always wondering why people do the things they do, etc.
• I was a lonely child and teenager. I rarely opened up to other people, and I was hard to read.
• I don't try to persuade people to change their opinions. Instead, I like to see why they think the way they do. I'm also not offended when people have different ideas than me.
• I'm not an extremely traditional person, and I question thoughts and ways of thinking that I view as highly ineffective and pointless. I also have my own way of doing things, and I try to make logical sense in my mind.
• I hate small talk and chit-chat.
• I hate social media. I can usually read though people's Instagram and Facebook pages, and I can tell when they're being fake. This is why I avoid social media at all cost.
• I hate doing practical things. Now, I am rather good at managing money and doing everyday task like paying bills, but this is because I can see the long-term impact if I don't do these things. I also prefer to live in my mind, and I'm not fond of "living in the moment", as I don't understand how anyone can truly live in the here and now.
I think I'm an ISFJ because: I'm good at connecting things to form a conclusion, and I often come to conclusions with no logical explanation (Si), I like to help people, and I can connect to and absorb their emotions more than my own (Fe), I form analytical and logical systems in my mind rather than in the external world (Ti), and I see things and react to the external world when in dire situations (Ne). I also read that ISFJ is one of the most common MBTI types amongst women, and they often mistype themselves as INFJ, INFP, ISFP, or ESFJ. If I have described this wrong, then feel free to correct me.
