ISFP or INFP?

[Fernando Perla]

The Enneagram is better anyway because it offers much more than a labeling system.

I got Enneatype 4. 4 applies for both ISFP and INFP.

You mean university?

University or any school. I just don't want to propose scenarios that you don't have experience in.

How about this, using the same 1 - 10 scale:
"I like to work with cooperative people who are committed to the same values I am committed to."
"I prefer to decorate my work environment in order to make it a more pleasant place to be."

(Consider the entire statement as a whole and not parts of it only) -

"Either now or in the past, I have had some difficulty finding the ideal career or ideal mate, because I have a vision in mind of what I want and reality doesn’t always follow suit."
"I am gently but insistently persuasive if I believe an action is in someone else’s best interests."

You should take a temperaments test such as the one [MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION] posted above.

My best friend is an ISFP. There are VAST differences between her and myself.

1. I prefer to not send pictures to men I met online. If I do, they are very modest.
2. I prefer to not wear gobs of jewelry, make up, accessory overload! I prefer to wear solid colors and have a very small closet and wear the same things over and over again. Basically, don't give a shit what I look like to a point.
3. I am okay if a man sends one picture to me of himself. Please do not send me pictures of your dog, your cat, your shoes, your face, your private parts, etc. I care about your MIND!!!!!

My ISFP best friend.
1. Takes at least 10 selfies a day and sends numerous pictures to men on dating sites. She prefers how they look over their IQ.
2. Has a HUGE closet and wears TONS of accessories.
4. Requests the man to send her pictures of everything in his life. I think this is retarded.

She has to eat at exotic places and enjoys AMBIENCE. Myself? Let's go to what a burger and sit in the car.

Are you getting the differences? She is SENSORY and I am INTUITIVE. She actually cares what she looks like and what others think of how she looks. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! Take me as I am or get the hell out of my life.

I already did, most of them gave me INFP followed closely by ISFP.

 

[Hetaira]

Your lack of confidence in "KNOWING" yourself resembles more of an ISFP.

Those aren't temperaments. [MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION]'s test is a temperament test.

As far as that goes, INFPs have the most trouble determining their MBTI, along with the ENFPs.

Hm...was not aware of that. My difficulty was between INFJ and INFP. But the INF was pretty easy to see in myself.

That's just tells me you're an INFP who had difficulty with self-typing. I think INFJ/INFP is the most common point of confusion. But not ISFP/INFP. It makes me think, in the OP's case, that he's a mixture of the two types.

 

[OrangeAppled]

OP is ISFP, probably a 9.
