Intro to ISFP personality type

The MBTI is a self-reported personality survey on respondents’ feelings and preferences. Then you align yourself with one of the 16 MBTI personality types.

Each MBTI type has 4 letters:

Either an I or an E letter initially. These need for having an /introverted or extroverted MBTI type respectively
This first letter is then followed by either an S or letter N (sensibility/intuition),
Then a letter T or F for the thinking and the feeling MBTI types.
And then finally either a letter P or a letter J or a P (judgment/perception).

The main idea of knowing your MBTI type is that your raised self-awareness means you can match your behavioural responses:

To work more effectively on a team, especially in terms of dealing with conflict.
You can also communicate more effectively if you have a better idea of how people process what you tell them.

How to spot the ISFPs at work

An ISFP is an artistic, experimentative individual who enjoys challenging the status quo. They are risk-takers and pursuers of their passions. Adventurers don’t appreciate criticism.
Charming, independent, and curious, but also easily stressed and overly competitive are the characteristics of this personality type.
Above all, ISFPs need creative freedom. That’s why they thrive in careers such as artists, musicians, designers, even working freelance.
Corporate environments are not for Adventurers: they don’t like rules and being micromanaged. They love working around people and are pleasant to be around but as introverts, positions that require heavy social interaction are not for them.
ISFPs function better in deadline-based positions, where they can organize their time and have more freedom. Positive critiques and pats on the back go a long way for ISFPs and give them the motivation to work harder.

ISFP Productivity Tips

Set goals. It’s important to set goals to make sure you’re going in the right direction. It’s easier to be productive when you know why you are doing it.
Track time. One of the benefits of tracking time is finding a good work-life balance and making sure you aren’t overworking.
Have a specific day for planning. Adventurers typically don’t like thinking long-term and planning, but it’s often necessary to do so. You can pick one day in a week for finishing all those unpleasant tasks so you don’t have to worry about it every day, but you’ll also get it done. Win-win.
Take mindfulness or meditation breaks. You can get stressed easily, so it’s a good idea to take regular breaks to relax and ease your mind.
Break tasks into smaller chunks. Big projects often seem overwhelming. To avoid procrastination, break them down into smaller tasks that seem more doable.

others might not appreciate a late-night email or video call!
Take some time to reflect and consider what’s important to you.
Check emails or other written communications before you send them. Making sure your points are clear and easy to read will help prevent confusion or misunderstandings.

How best to work with ISFP people

According to the MBTI, ISFPs like to live in the moment and can become completely wrapped up in their work.
Working from home and without colleagues physically monitoring them, they can burn out quite easily.
Most ISFPs therefore need to be reminded to take an hour for lunch and finish the working day at a reasonable time.
Their energy is an asset, but it sometimes needs to be harnessed and directed in the right direction by others.

ISFP Well-Being Tips

When stressed, you may become more emotionally sensitive and withdrawn than usual.
Because you hate to feel vulnerable when stressed, you may just quiet down and become difficult to read.
While you may outwardly maintain some composure and agreeableness, you’ll seem distant and detached.
Since you just can’t wait to get away from whatever social situation you’re stuck in.

How the MBTI defines Extroversion and Introversion

As the way you focus your efforts and thoughts:
– So if you’re more inclined to exert yourself toward things outside of yourself, including interacting with other people and exploring the world, you are likely an extravert.
– Whereas preferring to focus internally; means you mainly devote your mental energy to the reflection and consideration of ideas and beliefs.
