Recently discovered that I'm an ISFP, I first typed as an INTP and had always considered myself to be an intuitive thinker, but we all think we are better at our lower functions than we are. Planning and organizing have always been my weak spot and I need a sense of urgency to get into get stuff done mode. I also recently jumped into the socionics descriptions and realized that ISFP fits me 100%. I thought for a long time that I was ISTJ or ISTP. But I discovered there are traits with these 2 that didn't fit either. ISFP's in the MBTI community stereotype ISFP's as weak and crying all the time. And that's not true, though if something really moves me in an emotional way that I can relate to, I can easily shed tears about it, but I don't like to cry in the presence of others so I wait and feel my feelings later.
Funny I'm INFP and my type is often stereotyped as head in the clouds and melancholic. I think there are "some" truths to stereotypes but as is the case often, they are exaggerated by others. For instance my brother is ISFP, and he's one of the strongest people I know. Have I seen him cry? Of course I have and him me, but we aren't overtly emotional or have no control, quite the contrary. BTW nothing wrong with crying, it likes a pipe that releases some pressure, good if done in moderation, bad if it always releases (losses all pressure).
As an ISFP female, I also do not cry easily. I cry more from stress than from sadness, and do not like crying in front of others. However, my sister who is also an ISFP, cries easily due to toxic love life.
OMG!! I am an ISFP? wow. And I thought I were INFJ for a year, INTJ for 3 months, ENTP for 2 months and INTP for 2 months! Maybe now I can stay with ISFP for the rest of my life! Thank you CPT! I am sure happy now! 🥰 And sorry for not watching the video before commenting but yes I do have idols and fictional characters I think about when making decisions! This was very informative yeah! The longer videos can be watched but atleast I lose my patience and concentration losing your point in the longer videos. Shorter ones are easier to concentrate on 🤓
After watching this video, I'm 100% sure I'm a ISFP. I'm an actress and I truly love it. I love play pretend and acting as I'm someone else, ever since I was a child. I'm also a writer and I picture my characters as archetypes, pieces/shades of myself and my own mind. And sometimes I go for them seeking advice because I see them as a product of my own consciousness/unconsciousness. Just like having my own tarot. Watching this whole video was like wtf??? How can someone describe me that much? Hahahahah. Also the Te part you talked about not doing things properly without inspiration... fr. Also, I'm learning recently to do an "excavation of an underlying self" thanks to therapy, because my whole life I was aiming into transformating/becoming a new version of me. I still prefer to do that way, honestly, but I'm giving my therapist a chance. He describes this process of "seeing beyond ego aspirations to find my true self". I must confess that I'm having a hard time and this made me question if I were indeed a Fi dom. But your video made it clear why im struggling and that yes, I'm an ISFP. Thank you so much! Edit: The bonus one hit me right in the stomach. Ouch
ISFP is my absolute favorite type: They are some of the the best in giving Se sensory pleasures (better than Se doms), the type i imagine living outside in the wild in balance with mother nature; these are the people who can grow a tropical jungle around their backyard; they are the obersvers of wild life, tracking down and following animal species to take photographs of them, with an extremely good awareness of their description in fine detail, the awareness what an Si dom lacks, for comparison. The type of construction/repair workers who work slow, have a (seemingly) long lunch break and tell stories during it, then finish off in time, took care of everything, leave an excellent work behind. Likely they have excellent humor also, much better than STPs, for another comparison. These were real life examples! I get comfortable around them, feel calm, and at ease. Not a rare type, maybe i see a bit more females of them, just maybe.
It is VERY easy to mistype. A lot of people are roaming around with labels that aren't for them. Maybe this comment could help someone... I (an ISFP) often mis-typed as an ENFP when I was younger. (Culprit = The 16personalities test. That thing can be highly inaccurate and only shows how you perceive yourself or who like to believe you are. Also, if you take it when you hate yourself, or are trying to change something about you, or are struggling with a mental health issue- it will most probably be inaccurate. For me, it was struggle for acceptance and people pleasing that ruined the test.) The ISFP-ENFP mistype.... No one really talks about this possibility... Maybe because it takes two- misunderstanding yourself as an Intuitive* AND an Extrovert.* Now that I look back at it- • It was probably because I was a teen and wanted to be different and quirky lol, and was sometimes attracted to unusual stuff, which I took on as my identity. I was pretty obsessed with having a strong sense of independence and self. Turns out it was just Fi.) • I thought I was extroverted... BUT only with my close friends lol. (Later realised how shy I am when meeting strangers that I literally stutter and my brain goes blank, and I don't go to parties when someone I know isn't coming with me. And extroverts were thought to be cooler.) • Thought my love for writing stems from Ne when it was actually Se. (Later realised my love for sensual experiences like late night walks with headphones on, my giant perfume and scented candle collection, long showers, obsession with soft asthetics and random little concerts cannot be neglected.) • Thought I was intuitive because I took deep dives into abstract stuff (It was because of Ni, not Ne. Later realised that having to exploring too many tangents and possibilities instead of just the one in front of me, makes my head hurt. And I use Fi* first anyway because when I write, it's only when I've felt something first.) Also, I met an actual ENFP or ESFP for the first time... And their energy sucked the life out of me. My calm personal space was VISIBLY hurt because I wasn't setting up healthy boundries with her. She was just... So loud and always up to something. It drained me. So I do like ENFPs, but from a distance... And certainly am NOT one :)
That seems pretty true personalities test just shows how people presive them self. When I was beginning with mbti I typed myself by whatching videos that compared different types. I just looked videos that compared types that had one letter difference and when I for exaple looked a video about istp vs intp and when i thought intp fits better I was sure im intuetive. So i just whatched four videos they also wasn't that good and then just thought im an Intp. Than I watched a lot of videos about intp. Then I took the 16 personalities test while i was really biast im an intp. And the result was intp, becauese i learnd a lot about intp and answerd the questens thinking im an intp. Later I often ended up trying to behave like the type i typed my self.
I’ve been struggling with this exact mistype - when I first did the 16P test I used to type as ENFP pretty consistently as I saw myself as quite extroverted, but as soon as I looked into the cognitive functions - it felt like Ne (e.g seeing novelty, possibilities, exploring) was not coming naturally- and so I typed as INFP for the best part of a year. However, the plot twist here is that Harry typed me as ENFP, which I can’t like, have been struggling for years now to come to terms with it. Then, the network theory came along and kind of explained what was going on. That is, ISFPs have an ENFP subnetwork and ENFPs have an ISFP subnetwork. So I know I’m either one of those two, but still figuring out which one. To make matters worse these two types are probably the most hardcore individualists and so Fi is something that’s going to be really distinct for all of them - and are probably gonna result in some of the most quirky personalities out there. So I’m still working on it, but your comment definitely was in alignment with my own experience!
This is incredibly personal and true on a level you just can’t find well… _most_ anywhere about the ISFP type. I actually have an older brother (ENTP) who often marvels at how similar we are. In some ways we are very similar, but at large we’re opposites. I’ve never seen the comparison between ISFPs and their Ti-Si counterparts, but it’s definitely true that I’ve struggled to swallow that I’m Se over Si and a Fi>Ti in the past.
Was hopping between INFP, INTJ, ISTJ, and even INTP for a while before finally deciding to watch this video. Out of all of them, this one fitted me the most, and honestly, I usually don’t expect descriptions to relate to me at all, but boy did this one do the exact opposite…
You elaborate upon the ISFP’s with such precision, i sincerely adore your intuitive and intricate observations upon the behavioural patterns and transformations. A keen INFJ trait indeed. Watching Ni users make such observations is like a calm breeze, fairly satisfying.
I was literally about to contact you asking if you could make a 5 signs for not being an ISFP video and I saw a notification about this vid😅 I thought I’m an ENTP but according to your theory I could be IXFP or IXTJ too! I’ll see how it goes!😁
I just did this test and I am an ISFP. In many videos the talk about being artistic and always interacting with others and doing new things. This is finally a video where I notice what it means to be an ISFP and why my life is so hard. I like how you explained sign 3 and sign 4.
Wow, as a (likely) INTJ, I felt deeply what you had to say about a level of self acceptance being necessary for Fi-Ni (and Ni-Fi I assume). Its something Ive been discovering and trying to reach for a long long time now, long before I got into typology. More specifically, it is the balance between idealism and acceptance that really struck a chord. To me Ive always felt like I have to choose one. I have to “let go and surrender” or keep playing this idealistic game. Its never come across to me as a possibility to achieve a balance between the two mindsets. It feels like if I do attempt it, the Ni idealism completely takes over immediately, like a gigantic magnet you cannot move a single step closer to. And I’ve always theorised that thats probably due to the Ni in the dominant position, and that, with Se and Ni in the middle, such a balance is what ISFPs achieve effortlessly. Really got me thinking. Thanks again Harry.
Fi-Se tends to be a lot more "cold blooded" in nature, and grounded due to this. How actual INTJ's come across, from my actual experiences they couldn't be anymore different from the stereotypes. They're in actuality moreso like critics, and tend to actually have a sensitivity they cannot understand and seek an understanding of. They tend to intellectualize, and rationalize what they can't see or view and create esoteric concepts from it. Which is why they're NI base, they're unassured of what's to come and base a worldview on such uncertainty, and come to an acceptance with it. In an FI base, you find a character who is assured of his emotionality and strength. Contrary to the stereotypes imposed by MBTI. Really the Fi base is a character who because of his emotionality, and acknowledgement of negativity and reaction. Will be more grounded, and have a colder outlook of the world with a strong sense of personal justice and opinion.
Great video, special thanks to make these "You Are NOT an XXXX if ..." type of videos, I think many times they are even more useful then the "You Are an XXXX if ..." type of videos, because the "NOT" videos help to notice some biases that are hard to notice especially for the certain types who are most likely to mistype themselves because falling into a Barnum effect when seeing a "You Are an XXXX if ..." type of video. (PS. My 2nd slot Precision-Se approves your beard :))
Oh Harry thank you so much!! I was fairly sure of my IxFP typing in CPT, but wasn't sure if it's FiSiNeTe or FiNiSeTe. I found some reasons why I could be both (such as, my supposed Si is not extremely precise, and my supposed Ne is not extremely broad) . But this video clarified that it is more likely I am an INFP, FiSi. Although I still relate to ISFP in some aspects by these points FiSi should dominate for me! Your mention of Ti-Si dipping really inspired me too (although it would be Ti-Ni for INFP) - because I find myself doing that dipping A LOT!!!! If there's a Ti subtype of INFP, I AM THAT SUBTYPE. I still doubt my INFP typing in regular mbti as classic "Ti demon" doesn't fit me, but neither does Fi demon. CPT kinda solves that dilemma. I guess I wanna say thank you for creating CPT and making these videos!!!❤🎉
Yeah, first of all, referring to the Ti automatically is something that I often struggle with and I haven't realise that before my mid twenties, all the while thinking that I'm super emotionally aware of myself. Second of all, maybe it's not appropriate, but I wanted to say that I get the impression that you're getting more confident in yourself as years pass by and your development as an individual is documented by your vidoes. Well, that's attractive...*cough*, I meant active* change. Who wrote that? Those hacking attacks are too easy to make these days! Oh, and I hope you're not overworking yourself, even though your content is highly appreciated, we remember about your study! Take care, Harry.♡
I find this completely fascinating as someone who automatically defaults to Ti processing....6 months later I might substantiate what I feel about it lol 😂 or I can deduce how I feel about something subject to intense Ti scrutinisation...I guess the difference is I can't bypass Ti so to speak. I think that can lead someone inadvertently open to attack, especially as Ti-Ni can see a multiplicity of possibilities that take time to narrow down.
ISFPs Fi-Ni "modeling upon am archetype/character" internally is so true. Many Isfps I know are like this... Their specific thinking Ti-Si is also spot on. I actually admire this side of them, as an intuitive thinker myself. When they get to the task they are very specific and detail-oriented. =))
Yup! Still INFP, I definitely have some ISFP tendencies here and there, although the main clincher of how I know I'm an Fi-Si user, is your description of Sign #4. I am very awkward when it comes to acting in general and when I usually do, the character should at least be similar to my own personality to be comfortable with it, and to the lines saying my self realisation is more of an excavation than an a transformation? That takes the cake. I usually use my Fi as a way to dig deeper on what and who the heck am I rather than just constantly putting on new roles and faces and call it as my own, because while I still can they're still just that, roles and masks that are not really who I am. I still use archetypes though as like little puzzle pieces to see if they represent me in some way, and sometimes it's just fun and intresting. Anyways, apologies for the slight ramble and thanks for the insight on your new video!
I relate to what you've said as ENFJ ie excavating your personality & making subtle incremental changes over time - it must be the latent INFP subnetwork in me! I do find archetypes alluring but it seems very 'false' to me - not in a derogatory way - I just couldn't see myself using one. Plus my acting ability it like - blah 😂
I'm ISFP and, to be honest, I didn't relate to the acting thing. I'm terrible at acting and really, I don't even want to try it. I thought it was an Ne thing, at least that's what I've heard other people say and it checks out. My husband is INFP and he loved acting in high school and recently he was wanting to do community theater. My mother is ENFP and she did community theater for years.
Your lighting game is quite on par, it is fulfilling my aesthetic pleasures with the symbolic colouring. Makes me wonder what colour you're gonna use next for ISTP, ESTJ , ENFJ and ESFJ next. I'm expecting something like a Aquamarine, cyan, sea green color for ISTPs, like the ocean. Go dive in, so plethoric and expansive, yet, so deep, 95% of it has still yet to be discovered through Ti-discovery.
I currently study acting. A couple of months ago I was told by one of my drama teachers that I give an impression of someone who's not always good at being present and enjoying the moment - probably because of my self-critical and self-reflective nature. I was described as perfectionistic and idealistic student who tend to overthink too much and control everything and be quite pessimistic about things. Moreover, I noticed that I'm not really good at controlling my body - that resulted in me questioning my Se function and ISFPsness in general even more. But for as long as I can remember, I've always noticed l… everything. Smaller details which some other people (including Sensors, like an ISFJ), didn't. And the ISFP personality has always been incredibly relatable to me, from some characters to things about aesthetics and fashion and stuff. It's just that these words of my drama teacher made really uncertain about my MBTI + many people told than I'm really hard to get on with and quite sensitive and touchy and defensive. I don't know… With all mentioned above, do I seem to be an ISFP?
I was curious about this type, I actually thought one person I was analyzing was an INFP, but he was actually an ISFP. Thanks for the video! (Harry, do you plan on making more videos analyzing characters of fiction with CPT? I really enjoy those videos since we are able to visualize your analysis in practice!) Very cool beard, by the way. 😃
Yuzuru Hanyu, my favorite figure skater, is an ISFP i think ❣️ Thank you so much for this video, i was waiting for a video on this one. It is such an amazing yet misunderstood type, as the nature of FiNi is a bit harder for people to conceptualize i guess. Oh and also at the beginning, you forgot another "mistype giants" - INFPs and INTPs lol 😂
I'm so thankful for this video, we struggle to find more isfp content.. Thank you I was confused between those two types an INTP or an ISFP, hope this video will help me 🙏🏻
The irony being that a lot of TH-cam content creators who think they're INFJs are actually ISFPs or ESFPs. Obviously they're all equally wonderful types 😊
Would you mind putting the names of those TH-cam channels here, it simply for trying to analyze them myself so I can hopefully see and understand this type-stuff a little better, thank you.
I love the distinction between experiencing self-transformation as an excavation rather than a transformation. And the intensity that accompanies the 'locking on' to a future vision of the self - that has changed my life. I did not know I could productively use Te until that happened. Thank you for the video, Harry!
I’m not likely an ISFP. But, when I write, I often dip down into FiNi to fuel my creativity. I recently wrote a poem entitled “Flight of the Phoenix”. In this poem, I wrote about the life journey of the phoenix, which was an idealized embodiment of myself, in that moment. I even used Ni to connect different symbolic representations within my mind, which I am attached to, together and I laid out the structure of the poem with a timeline, which I thought best propelled the journey, as the writing progressed. Of course, I did this very quickly (within 30-45) minutes, so this was still being lead with my Ne dominance (ENFP). Your network theory very well explains how we dip down into various networks naturally (some more naturally than others) and this forms our overall internal network structure. Each type has their own unique complex network structure and will access different networks from different positions, depending on the situation and the way that person reacts to it. This will always be unique to the individual, as well, because each person has had their on experiences and have learned to cope with things in their own way. So, they will be dipping down into whichever network works best for them and also with their own unique flavor. It could be less or more intense and also, depending on the level of development, could yield varying degrees of results. It’s so interesting how all of this comes together. I spend a lot of time playing with different “types”. I can take on a role and even become that type. Of course, this has caused me to mistype many times. But understanding the primary process I use to do this is helpful. It took me interacting with someone within the community over a prolonged amount of time and having my language pattern observed by multiple sources, in order for me to be able to conclude what my core type is. It turns out I’m a divergent ENFP and I was thought to be an INFJ and an INTP at different points. I mistook myself as having convergent Ti, because I had been dipping down into those networks, in order to try to find my type. Of course, INFJ feels more natural, since it is within my dominant network. But INTP was a little more tiring for me to stay in over a longer period of time. TiSi isn’t as natural for me, so it’s difficult for me to use it successfully and maintain it. NiTi, of course, is a more natural dip for me and I can stay within that network for quite some time. Still, it feels as though NeTe is always running in the background and my Fi authority is still propelling me forward and I never lose sight of who I am
Enlightening! I as an ISFP really relate to Nietzsche's philosophy because his philosophy is full of self actualization and self transformation. I think he might be an INTJ or maybe an ISFP but I might be wrong. Have you ever had time to analyze him? If so, may I know your thoughts about him?
I should admit that I'm just an INTJ who has strong Fi. But I still think that my Fi and Se are bad, so I develop them. But when I'm fanny and spontaneous for long I come back to thoughts that I can be an ISFP. Thank you for this video, I am not
Omg I’m in crisis right now, being an INFJ vs ISFP. And I’m reading the past comments saying they’re going through the same thing, and saying how helpful you are. So I’m now gonna continue watching the video 😅
Finally after a half year nearly nonstop thinking about what my mbti type is. And after mistyping as intp, infj, intj than for a short time actually typing my self right as isfp but than mistyping myself as infp than intp again than entp than infj than istp im finally sure im an isfp
Seriously considering this type now after leaning towards the "INFP" label for such a long time I remember type codes having a subtype and in my case, ISFP 'diver' is a possibility
I know what I see I want (right now)... But the "planning for the actual nitty in the moment details?" Not so much. I intend to remedy that with preparation... but more often than not, the thing(s) I *actually* need(ed), is/are the thing(s) I didn't pack... And, in retrospect, it's absolutely obvious that I would have needed it/them. In your opinion, does that fit into the category of: "Not an ISFP?" My apologies, I've found myself abased, and can't afford a typing session.. So, this is a *huge* help. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼💜 PS This was very enjoyable, btw. The only reason I didn't state that at the onset, is because (seeing myself) doing so feels gross; emotional appeals to get people "open...." 🤢🤮
Thank you so much for the video. It helps a lot!! I’m still working out whether I’m an ISFP or ENTJ. they are opposite types so I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to tell… it seems like I share signs from both types. Are there any distinct differences between them?
Good question - ENTJs tend to find Te more compulsive, and are much more 'executive for its own sake'. Fi oppositionals in general have a forward moving attitude whereas Fi dominants tend to ruminate a whole lot more.
Due to the mbti introverted sensing cognitive stack error: ISTP Craftsman = SiTe (SLI) Craftsman. ISTJ Inspector = TiSe (LSI) Inspector ISFJ Guardian = FiSe (ESI) Guardian ISFP Composer = SiFe (SEI) mediator Thankfully, once you do a j and p switch for the introverted intuitives, the cognitive stackings of the other 12 types match between mbti and Socionics.
His accent and way of pronouncing the words going up and down with his voice, and mumbling and moaning the end of sentences making it hard to grasp where the next one begins makes it incredibly hard to acoustically understand him
Lol I usually have to speed everyone up to 1.25 cos they talk too slow. I listen to this presenter on normal speed and while I don’t hear exactly all of the words I mostly understand. But I like his little lisp and big brain 😉
this confirms i'm isfp. everyone thought i was enfj because i 'embodied' a 'bossbitch' in order to succeed in my career but now i realize that it was just FiNi at work.
Hi, the video is short and sweet. As an self-typed ISFP, the sixth point resonates strongly. However, can you talk about how a neurotic ISFP would behave? Will they have Ti-Si dips? Are neurotic traits constant?
From my own clinical experience with ISFPs (of course I see all types), neurotic or rather unstable ISFPs tend to lack Ti-Si specificity. I think the dip is a sign of cognitive maturity to some extent. I think the threshold for emotional lability is naturally higher in ISFPs than most other types. Of course, we all have our own respective strengths & weaknesses 😊
Same here. English isn’t my first language, I’m French but I’ve always been so good at it. Well, not until I come across this video. He’s so well spoken but damn I didn’t understood shit
Im an INFJ (introverted intuitive type in Psychological types and IEI in socionics), and related a lot to the ISFP here (except the non easy going and non "group" oriented part) How should we use your system? As mbti itself or as an alternate system? Because in your videos I related alot to both INTJ and INFJ, as well as ISFP, overall I relate deeply to convergent Ni with coupled with an introverted rational function.
My identity is rather static and the wimpy character that I despise so much is something I was born as. It doesn't matter how much I get hurt, how much I learn/do, etc. I stay exactly the same and it pains me. Is this Fi-Si? Since, I am mostly reactive and consider myself to be Ne-Fe convergent with a Ti filter.
It's possible you're FiNi and you've simply locked in your archetype. If absolutely no change occurs over time this may even be more likely, as FiSi tends to subtly adapt over time in a way that can even escape the ego's notice.
@@gjsb6wfg995I've actually known a few ISFPs who mistype as ENTPs; remember as Harry said, and a great analogy of 'butter spread over too much bread' - that can indeed be Fi-Ni. I guess Jordan Peterson might also be a good example of an ISFP who is regularly typed as a Ti dom ; to me it's pretty obvious that he uses attached logic as a conscious Ti user - not to negate his arguments of course, I happen to agree a lot with what he says albeit utilising different reasoning.
Harry, could you make a video about INFJ subtypes, please? I just watched the one about INFP subtypes and found it so interesting. Being an INFJ myself I could really use the insight.
Socionics proves ISFPs actually lead with SiFe = Sensory aesthetics improving the Fe mood. Isabel Myers incorrectly assumed because she as an INFP leads with Fi so too do actual perceiving ISFPs. Wrong. Like all SP Artisans they lead with a sensory perceiving function. In their case Si correctly defined. Which you can only find through Socionics.
Type could be overcome to an extent via unlearning cognitive patterns reinforced from early life and generally individuating, but people wouldn't be changing from one type to another. This would be comparable to trading a lifetime worth of complexes and cognitive shortcuts for another
I am pretty confused beacuse the first time I did the test I was tested as a infp I thought I was one for a while I take the test again and I’m an Isfp I feel like I link to both but every video I watch about isfp they always say we are artistic but I don’t like art at all! I’m confusion XD
Harry, thank you a lot for this video I have a question. Sometimes, you’ve mentioned ‘acquiring skill sets’ and this used to be related to Ti-Fe types, specially those in the Ni-Se axis My question is, What do you mean by skill sets? and whose ownership is this/that’s relevant to who? I’m aware that you believe there’s nothing a type should/could do, but I thought skill sets were something more relevant to Ti-Fe types, with it being mastery over something (Se-Ni) or mastery over topics/specific knowledge (Ne-Si) Thanks for your time
Ti is naturally more systematic, so skill sets therein can take on more of their own innate value. Te can absolutely be mastery oriented, but there often has to be a utility, a finished result. What's more, the Ti-Fe axis likes to demonstrate competence to others, giving an additional mastery incentive. Ultimately skill sets are the expression of an internal framework and system, a 'method'. Ti is therefore invariably involved regardless of type.
@@CognitivePersonality I understand now, thank you a lot I’d say I have more things to process on, since this Te value of “utility; a finished result” also can be indicative of the nature of convergent Ni /‘auxiliary’ Se (Ne blindspot being hyperfixated on a vision) or I’m mistaken with some logic assumptions Besides that, there are some particular things about my inner workings(?) that feel way too similar for me to discern We ought to talk! There are some blurry lines that you’d be more capable of explaining, I just need some resources for now. Hopefully we’ll talk soon Your explanation made some things clearer to me, sometimes you have even more questions when you have more answers
Can someone type me? When I was at the age of 9-15 yrs old my cognitive function is like this: Fi Te Ni Se But during my early teenage years I got depressed (my stack remained the same except that my Fi increased) but now I’ve recovered from it so my cognitive stack is currently this: Te Fi Ni Se It looks like I’ve always had high Te to begin with despite all the changes I went through. If so then what type does that make me 😭?
Interesting question, do you have any speculations as to why this might be so? I'm not negating what you're saying btw, I'm truly interested 😊. Ps is there a difference are perhaps some overlap?
@@Tified967 I'm autistic and often the way I think is very linear so to some people it seems like I lack ne because with autism, you can have one track mind thinking because we hyperfocus and we have special interests, its similar to adhd which I also have. I think si and ni and ti are very similar to autistic traits and ne and se are similar to adhd traits, so its been a nightmare finding my mbti type because anything fits me at this point.
hmmm, about that last sign, wasnt that depend on the ecosystem / team or ISFP would just prefer to be a "hero" from the very start? because for me atleast, if i dont trust someone skill enough, i prefer to to do it myself, or at the very least, trying to explain to the person in meticulous as much as possible, but i do happy to be in environment where i know we will create something great though, or in envrionment where i could learn from
@@CognitivePersonality what differentiate between Te convergent condition vs Te divergence one? i guess the former condition lies in ego, while the later comes from less selfish standard, "i want it to be like that" vs "it supposed to be like that" thing?
With all respect to cognitive functions, this one is the lamest types of all - no sense of own identity, pursuing the future may never come, “doer” stuck in Se, all archetypal details borrowed from pre-existing characters… Yuck! What a darn golem. The worst case scenario if I’m ISFP myself, which would be so mournful 😅 It’s like some types are not born to be great like others
There should be more to this type - comparing to the ESFJ video (them both are part of the same network eventually), this type shown more shallow that it should be tbh! For example, there should be Fe>Ne dip to this type! Peace
One reason ISFPs get mistyped as INTP and ENTP is because Socionics shows they have the same prefered functions. As ISFPs actually lead with correctly defined SiFe. It amazes me how us intuitives failed the introverted sensors in erroneously believing Isabel Myers that because her as an INFP led with Fi, so too do actual perceiving ISFPs. Which is false. As all SPs lead with sensation. Which is why they are perceivers.
This wouldn't be compatible with CPT; you can't lead with a perceiving function and codec of differing orientations. The model you're referring to is obsolete when it comes to CPT I'm afraid; I'd check out the accompanying ebook.
Well considering Harry is an INFJ it'll narrow down the supposed INFJ masses who clearly aren't Ni-Ti convergents at the very least. Granted if you don't utilise Ni-Ti/Ti-Ni consciously you might find this difficult to follow/some other cognitive pairings albeit we all utilise all the functional pairings so anyone who's willing to do the ground work & understand the levels of abstraction will be able to follow.
Hello Mr. Harry! I don't know if you remember me but last year I commented on your Enfp video saying that I'm an enfp and my husband is an isfx and that we are on the verge of divorce. The divorce period went for a year because of some legal issues and finally we were supposed to divorce today. But then I saw that you uploaded my long-awaited isfp video. Me and my husband watched it together and we decided to give our relationship one more chance. Thank you for saving my marriage ❤ You are my number two hero 🫵(number one is my husband😜)

Now time to make a 5 signs you're actually an ISFP video.
Recently discovered that I'm an ISFP, I first typed as an INTP and had always considered myself to be an intuitive thinker, but we all think we are better at our lower functions than we are. Planning and organizing have always been my weak spot and I need a sense of urgency to get into get stuff done mode. I also recently jumped into the socionics descriptions and realized that ISFP fits me 100%. I thought for a long time that I was ISTJ or ISTP. But I discovered there are traits with these 2 that didn't fit either. ISFP's in the MBTI community stereotype ISFP's as weak and crying all the time. And that's not true, though if something really moves me in an emotional way that I can relate to, I can easily shed tears about it, but I don't like to cry in the presence of others so I wait and feel my feelings later.
Someone can also cry a lot if they are in stress or having hormonal issues.
Funny I'm INFP and my type is often stereotyped as head in the clouds and melancholic. I think there are "some" truths to stereotypes but as is the case often, they are exaggerated by others. For instance my brother is ISFP, and he's one of the strongest people I know. Have I seen him cry? Of course I have and him me, but we aren't overtly emotional or have no control, quite the contrary. BTW nothing wrong with crying, it likes a pipe that releases some pressure, good if done in moderation, bad if it always releases (losses all pressure).
As an ISFP female, I also do not cry easily. I cry more from stress than from sadness, and do not like crying in front of others. However, my sister who is also an ISFP, cries easily due to toxic love life.
OMG!! I am an ISFP? wow. And I thought I were INFJ for a year, INTJ for 3 months, ENTP for 2 months and INTP for 2 months! Maybe now I can stay with ISFP for the rest of my life! Thank you CPT! I am sure happy now! 🥰
And sorry for not watching the video before commenting but yes I do have idols and fictional characters I think about when making decisions!
This was very informative yeah! The longer videos can be watched but atleast I lose my patience and concentration losing your point in the longer videos. Shorter ones are easier to concentrate on 🤓
I would totally love a "differences between ISFP and ESFP" video
Your timing is impeccable, Harry! I was literally just watching videos on INFJ vs. ISFP when your video showed up! ❤
After watching this video, I'm 100% sure I'm a ISFP. I'm an actress and I truly love it. I love play pretend and acting as I'm someone else, ever since I was a child. I'm also a writer and I picture my characters as archetypes, pieces/shades of myself and my own mind. And sometimes I go for them seeking advice because I see them as a product of my own consciousness/unconsciousness. Just like having my own tarot. Watching this whole video was like wtf??? How can someone describe me that much? Hahahahah. Also the Te part you talked about not doing things properly without inspiration... fr.
Also, I'm learning recently to do an "excavation of an underlying self" thanks to therapy, because my whole life I was aiming into transformating/becoming a new version of me. I still prefer to do that way, honestly, but I'm giving my therapist a chance. He describes this process of "seeing beyond ego aspirations to find my true self". I must confess that I'm having a hard time and this made me question if I were indeed a Fi dom. But your video made it clear why im struggling and that yes, I'm an ISFP. Thank you so much!
Edit: The bonus one hit me right in the stomach. Ouch
ISFP is my absolute favorite type: They are some of the the best in giving Se sensory pleasures (better than Se doms), the type i imagine living outside in the wild in balance with mother nature; these are the people who can grow a tropical jungle around their backyard; they are the obersvers of wild life, tracking down and following animal species to take photographs of them, with an extremely good awareness of their description in fine detail, the awareness what an Si dom lacks, for comparison. The type of construction/repair workers who work slow, have a (seemingly) long lunch break and tell stories during it, then finish off in time, took care of everything, leave an excellent work behind. Likely they have excellent humor also, much better than STPs, for another comparison. These were real life examples!
I get comfortable around them, feel calm, and at ease. Not a rare type, maybe i see a bit more females of them, just maybe.
Great video. Patiently (or not so patiently 😂) waiting for 5 signs you're an ISTP
It is VERY easy to mistype. A lot of people are roaming around with labels that aren't for them. Maybe this comment could help someone...
I (an ISFP) often mis-typed as an ENFP when I was younger.
(Culprit = The 16personalities test. That thing can be highly inaccurate and only shows how you perceive yourself or who like to believe you are. Also, if you take it when you hate yourself, or are trying to change something about you, or are struggling with a mental health issue- it will most probably be inaccurate. For me, it was struggle for acceptance and people pleasing that ruined the test.)
The ISFP-ENFP mistype....
No one really talks about this possibility... Maybe because it takes two- misunderstanding yourself as an Intuitive* AND an Extrovert.*
Now that I look back at it-
• It was probably because I was a teen and wanted to be different and quirky lol, and was sometimes attracted to unusual stuff, which I took on as my identity. I was pretty obsessed with having a strong sense of independence and self. Turns out it was just Fi.)
• I thought I was extroverted... BUT only with my close friends lol.
(Later realised how shy I am when meeting strangers that I literally stutter and my brain goes blank, and I don't go to parties when someone I know isn't coming with me. And extroverts were thought to be cooler.)
• Thought my love for writing stems from Ne when it was actually Se.
(Later realised my love for sensual experiences like late night walks with headphones on, my giant perfume and scented candle collection, long showers, obsession with soft asthetics and random little concerts cannot be neglected.)
• Thought I was intuitive because I took deep dives into abstract stuff (It was because of Ni, not Ne. Later realised that having to exploring too many tangents and possibilities instead of just the one in front of me, makes my head hurt. And I use Fi* first anyway because when I write, it's only when I've felt something first.)
Also, I met an actual ENFP or ESFP for the first time... And their energy sucked the life out of me. My calm personal space was VISIBLY hurt because I wasn't setting up healthy boundries with her. She was just... So loud and always up to something. It drained me. So I do like ENFPs, but from a distance... And certainly am NOT one :)
That seems pretty true personalities test just shows how people presive them self. When I was beginning with mbti I typed myself by whatching videos that compared different types. I just looked videos that compared types that had one letter difference and when I for exaple looked a video about istp vs intp and when i thought intp fits better I was sure im intuetive. So i just whatched four videos they also wasn't that good and then just thought im an Intp.
Than I watched a lot of videos about intp. Then I took the 16 personalities test while i was really biast im an intp. And the result was intp, becauese i learnd a lot about intp and answerd the questens thinking im an intp.
Later I often ended up trying to behave like the type i typed my self.
I’ve been struggling with this exact mistype - when I first did the 16P test I used to type as ENFP pretty consistently as I saw myself as quite extroverted, but as soon as I looked into the cognitive functions - it felt like Ne (e.g seeing novelty, possibilities, exploring) was not coming naturally- and so I typed as INFP for the best part of a year.
However, the plot twist here is that Harry typed me as ENFP, which I can’t like, have been struggling for years now to come to terms with it. Then, the network theory came along and kind of explained what was going on. That is, ISFPs have an ENFP subnetwork and ENFPs have an ISFP subnetwork.
So I know I’m either one of those two, but still figuring out which one. To make matters worse these two types are probably the most hardcore individualists and so Fi is something that’s going to be really distinct for all of them - and are probably gonna result in some of the most quirky personalities out there. So I’m still working on it, but your comment definitely was in alignment with my own experience!
This is incredibly personal and true on a level you just can’t find well… _most_ anywhere about the ISFP type. I actually have an older brother (ENTP) who often marvels at how similar we are. In some ways we are very similar, but at large we’re opposites. I’ve never seen the comparison between ISFPs and their Ti-Si counterparts, but it’s definitely true that I’ve struggled to swallow that I’m Se over Si and a Fi>Ti in the past.
Was hopping between INFP, INTJ, ISTJ, and even INTP for a while before finally deciding to watch this video.
Out of all of them, this one fitted me the most, and honestly, I usually don’t expect descriptions to relate to me at all, but boy did this one do the exact opposite…
You elaborate upon the ISFP’s with such precision, i sincerely adore your intuitive and intricate observations upon the behavioural patterns and transformations. A keen INFJ trait indeed.
Watching Ni users make such observations is like a calm breeze, fairly satisfying.
I was literally about to contact you asking if you could make a 5 signs for not being an ISFP video and I saw a notification about this vid😅 I thought I’m an ENTP but according to your theory I could be IXFP or IXTJ too! I’ll see how it goes!😁
Also, I thought I’m either a XNXP or an XSFJ but I relate so much to your information about being an Fi convergent type!
The best analyse of ISFP personality type ever.
Thank you Harry!
Also, please add subtitle to all of your videos.
I just did this test and I am an ISFP. In many videos the talk about being artistic and always interacting with others and doing new things. This is finally a video where I notice what it means to be an ISFP and why my life is so hard. I like how you explained sign 3 and sign 4.
Wow, as a (likely) INTJ, I felt deeply what you had to say about a level of self acceptance being necessary for Fi-Ni (and Ni-Fi I assume). Its something Ive been discovering and trying to reach for a long long time now, long before I got into typology. More specifically, it is the balance between idealism and acceptance that really struck a chord.
To me Ive always felt like I have to choose one. I have to “let go and surrender” or keep playing this idealistic game. Its never come across to me as a possibility to achieve a balance between the two mindsets. It feels like if I do attempt it, the Ni idealism completely takes over immediately, like a gigantic magnet you cannot move a single step closer to. And I’ve always theorised that thats probably due to the Ni in the dominant position, and that, with Se and Ni in the middle, such a balance is what ISFPs achieve effortlessly. Really got me thinking. Thanks again Harry.
Fi-Se tends to be a lot more "cold blooded" in nature, and grounded due to this. How actual INTJ's come across, from my actual experiences they couldn't be anymore different from the stereotypes. They're in actuality moreso like critics, and tend to actually have a sensitivity they cannot understand and seek an understanding of. They tend to intellectualize, and rationalize what they can't see or view and create esoteric concepts from it. Which is why they're NI base, they're unassured of what's to come and base a worldview on such uncertainty, and come to an acceptance with it.
In an FI base, you find a character who is assured of his emotionality and strength. Contrary to the stereotypes imposed by MBTI. Really the Fi base is a character who because of his emotionality, and acknowledgement of negativity and reaction. Will be more grounded, and have a colder outlook of the world with a strong sense of personal justice and opinion.

Great video, special thanks to make these "You Are NOT an XXXX if ..." type of videos,
I think many times they are even more useful then the "You Are an XXXX if ..." type of videos,
because the "NOT" videos help to notice some biases that are hard to notice especially for the certain types who are most likely to mistype themselves because falling into a Barnum effect when seeing a "You Are an XXXX if ..." type of video.
(PS. My 2nd slot Precision-Se approves your beard :))
Oh Harry thank you so much!! I was fairly sure of my IxFP typing in CPT, but wasn't sure if it's FiSiNeTe or FiNiSeTe. I found some reasons why I could be both (such as, my supposed Si is not extremely precise, and my supposed Ne is not extremely broad) . But this video clarified that it is more likely I am an INFP, FiSi. Although I still relate to ISFP in some aspects by these points FiSi should dominate for me!
Your mention of Ti-Si dipping really inspired me too (although it would be Ti-Ni for INFP) - because I find myself doing that dipping A LOT!!!! If there's a Ti subtype of INFP, I AM THAT SUBTYPE. I still doubt my INFP typing in regular mbti as classic "Ti demon" doesn't fit me, but neither does Fi demon. CPT kinda solves that dilemma. I guess I wanna say thank you for creating CPT and making these videos!!!❤🎉
Yeah, first of all, referring to the Ti automatically is something that I often struggle with and I haven't realise that before my mid twenties, all the while thinking that I'm super emotionally aware of myself.
Second of all, maybe it's not appropriate, but I wanted to say that I get the impression that you're getting more confident in yourself as years pass by and your development as an individual is documented by your vidoes. Well, that's attractive...*cough*, I meant active* change.
Who wrote that? Those hacking attacks are too easy to make these days!
Oh, and I hope you're not overworking yourself, even though your content is highly appreciated, we remember about your study!
Take care, Harry.♡
I find this completely fascinating as someone who automatically defaults to Ti processing....6 months later I might substantiate what I feel about it lol 😂 or I can deduce how I feel about something subject to intense Ti scrutinisation...I guess the difference is I can't bypass Ti so to speak. I think that can lead someone inadvertently open to attack, especially as Ti-Ni can see a multiplicity of possibilities that take time to narrow down.
@@Tified967 F...I'm really considering having strong Ni as time goes by O.O
ISFPs Fi-Ni "modeling upon am archetype/character" internally is so true. Many Isfps I know are like this... Their specific thinking Ti-Si is also spot on. I actually admire this side of them, as an intuitive thinker myself. When they get to the task they are very specific and detail-oriented. =))
Yup! Still INFP, I definitely have some ISFP tendencies here and there, although the main clincher of how I know I'm an Fi-Si user, is your description of Sign #4. I am very awkward when it comes to acting in general and when I usually do, the character should at least be similar to my own personality to be comfortable with it, and to the lines saying my self realisation is more of an excavation than an a transformation? That takes the cake. I usually use my Fi as a way to dig deeper on what and who the heck am I rather than just constantly putting on new roles and faces and call it as my own, because while I still can they're still just that, roles and masks that are not really who I am. I still use archetypes though as like little puzzle pieces to see if they represent me in some way, and sometimes it's just fun and intresting.
Anyways, apologies for the slight ramble and thanks for the insight on your new video!
I relate to what you've said as ENFJ ie excavating your personality & making subtle incremental changes over time - it must be the latent INFP subnetwork in me! I do find archetypes alluring but it seems very 'false' to me - not in a derogatory way - I just couldn't see myself using one. Plus my acting ability it like - blah 😂
I'm ISFP and, to be honest, I didn't relate to the acting thing. I'm terrible at acting and really, I don't even want to try it. I thought it was an Ne thing, at least that's what I've heard other people say and it checks out. My husband is INFP and he loved acting in high school and recently he was wanting to do community theater. My mother is ENFP and she did community theater for years.
I kept typing as INTJ, and it fitted, function by function, but something still felt very off.
This is it. Everything finally makes sense. Thank you.
Your lighting game is quite on par, it is fulfilling my aesthetic pleasures with the symbolic colouring. Makes me wonder what colour you're gonna use next for ISTP, ESTJ , ENFJ and ESFJ next. I'm expecting something like a Aquamarine, cyan, sea green color for ISTPs, like the ocean. Go dive in, so plethoric and expansive, yet, so deep, 95% of it has still yet to be discovered through Ti-discovery.
I currently study acting. A couple of months ago I was told by one of my drama teachers that I give an impression of someone who's not always good at being present and enjoying the moment - probably because of my self-critical and self-reflective nature. I was described as perfectionistic and idealistic student who tend to overthink too much and control everything and be quite pessimistic about things. Moreover, I noticed that I'm not really good at controlling my body - that resulted in me questioning my Se function and ISFPsness in general even more. But for as long as I can remember, I've always noticed l… everything. Smaller details which some other people (including Sensors, like an ISFJ), didn't. And the ISFP personality has always been incredibly relatable to me, from some characters to things about aesthetics and fashion and stuff. It's just that these words of my drama teacher made really uncertain about my MBTI + many people told than I'm really hard to get on with and quite sensitive and touchy and defensive. I don't know…
With all mentioned above, do I seem to be an ISFP?
Thank you !
This video was so helpful in solidifying that I am indeed an ISFP.
Great video! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and I’ve always thought I was an ISFP. And this video made me sure! Thanks, Harry!!
I was curious about this type, I actually thought one person I was analyzing was an INFP, but he was actually an ISFP.
Thanks for the video!
(Harry, do you plan on making more videos analyzing characters of fiction with CPT? I really enjoy those videos since we are able to visualize your analysis in practice!)
Very cool beard, by the way. 😃
Definitely more fictional stuff on the horizon!
Yuzuru Hanyu, my favorite figure skater, is an ISFP i think ❣️
Thank you so much for this video, i was waiting for a video on this one. It is such an amazing yet misunderstood type, as the nature of FiNi is a bit harder for people to conceptualize i guess.
Oh and also at the beginning, you forgot another "mistype giants" - INFPs and INTPs lol 😂
I'm so thankful for this video, we struggle to find more isfp content.. Thank you
I was confused between those two types an INTP or an ISFP, hope this video will help me 🙏🏻
The irony being that a lot of TH-cam content creators who think they're INFJs are actually ISFPs or ESFPs. Obviously they're all equally wonderful types 😊
Would you mind putting the names of those TH-cam channels here, it simply for trying to analyze them myself so I can hopefully see and understand this type-stuff a little better, thank you.
I love the distinction between experiencing self-transformation as an excavation rather than a transformation. And the intensity that accompanies the 'locking on' to a future vision of the self - that has changed my life. I did not know I could productively use Te until that happened. Thank you for the video, Harry!
I’m not likely an ISFP. But, when I write, I often dip down into FiNi to fuel my creativity. I recently wrote a poem entitled “Flight of the Phoenix”. In this poem, I wrote about the life journey of the phoenix, which was an idealized embodiment of myself, in that moment. I even used Ni to connect different symbolic representations within my mind, which I am attached to, together and I laid out the structure of the poem with a timeline, which I thought best propelled the journey, as the writing progressed. Of course, I did this very quickly (within 30-45) minutes, so this was still being lead with my Ne dominance (ENFP). Your network theory very well explains how we dip down into various networks naturally (some more naturally than others) and this forms our overall internal network structure. Each type has their own unique complex network structure and will access different networks from different positions, depending on the situation and the way that person reacts to it. This will always be unique to the individual, as well, because each person has had their on experiences and have learned to cope with things in their own way. So, they will be dipping down into whichever network works best for them and also with their own unique flavor. It could be less or more intense and also, depending on the level of development, could yield varying degrees of results. It’s so interesting how all of this comes together. I spend a lot of time playing with different “types”. I can take on a role and even become that type. Of course, this has caused me to mistype many times. But understanding the primary process I use to do this is helpful. It took me interacting with someone within the community over a prolonged amount of time and having my language pattern observed by multiple sources, in order for me to be able to conclude what my core type is. It turns out I’m a divergent ENFP and I was thought to be an INFJ and an INTP at different points. I mistook myself as having convergent Ti, because I had been dipping down into those networks, in order to try to find my type. Of course, INFJ feels more natural, since it is within my dominant network. But INTP was a little more tiring for me to stay in over a longer period of time. TiSi isn’t as natural for me, so it’s difficult for me to use it successfully and maintain it. NiTi, of course, is a more natural dip for me and I can stay within that network for quite some time. Still, it feels as though NeTe is always running in the background and my Fi authority is still propelling me forward and I never lose sight of who I am
Very Great!! thank you so much for this in depth information. Truly relatable and very happy you dove into isfp it's so helpful!!
Finally something I really need at the time I started to question maybe I'm not isfp!
Yay! Saddly i was mistyped when i personally begged for this
Enlightening!
I as an ISFP really relate to Nietzsche's philosophy because his philosophy is full of self actualization and self transformation. I think he might be an INTJ or maybe an ISFP but I might be wrong. Have you ever had time to analyze him? If so, may I know your thoughts about him?
Definitely INTJ
Interesting,As an Isfp I'm a big fan of neitzsche too
i love the depth in your videos and how they showcase aspects of these types rarely spoken about. could you make a video comparing intjs and isfps?
I love how you change outfits to embody or represent the type
I should admit that I'm just an INTJ who has strong Fi. But I still think that my Fi and Se are bad, so I develop them. But when I'm fanny and spontaneous for long I come back to thoughts that I can be an ISFP. Thank you for this video, I am not
Omg I’m in crisis right now, being an INFJ vs ISFP. And I’m reading the past comments saying they’re going through the same thing, and saying how helpful you are. So I’m now gonna continue watching the video 😅
This was presented in such an abstract manner… lol! I’m an ISFP, I need concrete examples 😏
Just as we needed him most.... he came back!
Finally after a half year nearly nonstop thinking about what my mbti type is. And after mistyping as intp, infj, intj than for a short time actually typing my self right as isfp but than mistyping myself as infp than intp again than entp than infj than istp im finally sure im an isfp
Its actually so difficult to make the distinction between isfp and intj
Okay someone can summarize it 😂?
This content exists on written form? I would love it
Seriously considering this type now after leaning towards the "INFP" label for such a long time
I remember type codes having a subtype and in my case, ISFP 'diver' is a possibility
I really needed this
Thank you Harry great video.
Awesome video as always. Question: what does a FiNi -> TiSi dip look like?
I know what I see I want (right now)... But the "planning for the actual nitty in the moment details?" Not so much. I intend to remedy that with preparation... but more often than not, the thing(s) I *actually* need(ed), is/are the thing(s) I didn't pack... And, in retrospect, it's absolutely obvious that I would have needed it/them.
In your opinion, does that fit into the category of: "Not an ISFP?"
My apologies, I've found myself abased, and can't afford a typing session.. So, this is a *huge* help.
Thanks in advance 🙏🏼💜
PS
This was very enjoyable, btw. The only reason I didn't state that at the onset, is because (seeing myself) doing so feels gross; emotional appeals to get people "open...." 🤢🤮
Thank you so much for the video. It helps a lot!! I’m still working out whether I’m an ISFP or ENTJ. they are opposite types so I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to tell… it seems like I share signs from both types. Are there any distinct differences between them?
Good question - ENTJs tend to find Te more compulsive, and are much more 'executive for its own sake'. Fi oppositionals in general have a forward moving attitude whereas Fi dominants tend to ruminate a whole lot more.
Due to the mbti introverted sensing cognitive stack error:
ISTP Craftsman = SiTe (SLI) Craftsman.
ISTJ Inspector = TiSe (LSI) Inspector
ISFJ Guardian = FiSe (ESI) Guardian
ISFP Composer = SiFe (SEI) mediator
Thankfully, once you do a j and p switch for the introverted intuitives, the cognitive stackings of the other 12 types match between mbti and Socionics.
Can you do a video on differences between ESFP and ENTJ? They're so similar
My partner is an ESFP towards the ENTJ end of the spectrum...this is very true indeed
Playback Speed at 0.75 is make sense. He talk too fast...
His accent and way of pronouncing the words going up and down with his voice, and mumbling and moaning the end of sentences making it hard to grasp where the next one begins makes it incredibly hard to acoustically understand him
Lol I usually have to speed everyone up to 1.25 cos they talk too slow. I listen to this presenter on normal speed and while I don’t hear exactly all of the words I mostly understand. But I like his little lisp and big brain 😉
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
You.
You who?
Yoo-hoo! Anybody home?
He returns
Until you explained TeNe blind spot I thought I had it but I definitely don’t fit that explanation
I understood very little, can you expain like I were an idiot (or a non-native-English person) please ?
this confirms i'm isfp. everyone thought i was enfj because i 'embodied' a 'bossbitch' in order to succeed in my career but now i realize that it was just FiNi at work.
Hi, the video is short and sweet. As an self-typed ISFP, the sixth point resonates strongly. However, can you talk about how a neurotic ISFP would behave? Will they have Ti-Si dips? Are neurotic traits constant?
From my own clinical experience with ISFPs (of course I see all types), neurotic or rather unstable ISFPs tend to lack Ti-Si specificity. I think the dip is a sign of cognitive maturity to some extent. I think the threshold for emotional lability is naturally higher in ISFPs than most other types. Of course, we all have our own respective strengths & weaknesses 😊
I thought I was an ENTP for so long but now after taking keys2cognition I really think I’m an ISFP
Yeah I’m no INFP, I’m an ISFP. Thanks man
As an isfp, I didn't understand a lot of these words. Still left a like tho!
Same here. English isn’t my first language, I’m French but I’ve always been so good at it. Well, not until I come across this video. He’s so well spoken but damn I didn’t understood shit
Im an INFJ (introverted intuitive type in Psychological types and IEI in socionics), and related a lot to the ISFP here (except the non easy going and non "group" oriented part)
How should we use your system? As mbti itself or as an alternate system? Because in your videos I related alot to both INTJ and INFJ, as well as ISFP, overall I relate deeply to convergent Ni with coupled with an introverted rational function.
My identity is rather static and the wimpy character that I despise so much is something I was born as.
It doesn't matter how much I get hurt, how much I learn/do, etc. I stay exactly the same and it pains me.
Is this Fi-Si? Since, I am mostly reactive and consider myself to be Ne-Fe convergent with a Ti filter.
It's possible you're FiNi and you've simply locked in your archetype. If absolutely no change occurs over time this may even be more likely, as FiSi tends to subtly adapt over time in a way that can even escape the ego's notice.
@@CognitivePersonality If I'm actually an Fi dom I'm gonna laugh real hard ngl
@@gjsb6wfg995I've actually known a few ISFPs who mistype as ENTPs; remember as Harry said, and a great analogy of 'butter spread over too much bread' - that can indeed be Fi-Ni. I guess Jordan Peterson might also be a good example of an ISFP who is regularly typed as a Ti dom
; to me it's pretty obvious that he uses attached logic as a conscious Ti user - not to negate his arguments of course, I happen to agree a lot with what he says albeit utilising different reasoning.
@@Tified967literally typed him as isfp but people r too biased because he is supposedly smart he can't be lol
Harry, could you make a video about INFJ subtypes, please? I just watched the one about INFP subtypes and found it so interesting. Being an INFJ myself I could really use the insight.
Socionics proves ISFPs actually lead with SiFe = Sensory aesthetics improving the Fe mood.
Isabel Myers incorrectly assumed because she as an INFP leads with Fi so too do actual perceiving ISFPs. Wrong. Like all SP Artisans they lead with a sensory perceiving function. In their case Si correctly defined. Which you can only find through Socionics.
Mr Harry, I want know if we can totally change our personality type or not?
Type could be overcome to an extent via unlearning cognitive patterns reinforced from early life and generally individuating, but people wouldn't be changing from one type to another. This would be comparable to trading a lifetime worth of complexes and cognitive shortcuts for another
@@CognitivePersonality thank you
I am pretty confused beacuse the first time I did the test I was tested as a infp I thought I was one for a while I take the test again and I’m an Isfp I feel like I link to both but every video I watch about isfp they always say we are artistic but I don’t like art at all! I’m confusion XD
Same😅
Thank you!!
I’m not sure of I’m atill an INFP I developed my sensing function a hit more so I feel like ISFP!
Harry, thank you a lot for this video
I have a question. Sometimes, you’ve mentioned ‘acquiring skill sets’ and this used to be related to Ti-Fe types, specially those in the Ni-Se axis
My question is, What do you mean by skill sets? and whose ownership is this/that’s relevant to who?
I’m aware that you believe there’s nothing a type should/could do, but I thought skill sets were something more relevant to Ti-Fe types, with it being mastery over something (Se-Ni) or mastery over topics/specific knowledge (Ne-Si)
Thanks for your time
Ti is naturally more systematic, so skill sets therein can take on more of their own innate value. Te can absolutely be mastery oriented, but there often has to be a utility, a finished result.
What's more, the Ti-Fe axis likes to demonstrate competence to others, giving an additional mastery incentive.
Ultimately skill sets are the expression of an internal framework and system, a 'method'. Ti is therefore invariably involved regardless of type.
@@CognitivePersonality I understand now, thank you a lot
I’d say I have more things to process on, since this Te value of “utility; a finished result” also can be indicative of the nature of convergent Ni /‘auxiliary’ Se (Ne blindspot being hyperfixated on a vision) or I’m mistaken with some logic assumptions
Besides that, there are some particular things about my inner workings(?) that feel way too similar for me to discern
We ought to talk! There are some blurry lines that you’d be more capable of explaining, I just need some resources for now. Hopefully we’ll talk soon
Your explanation made some things clearer to me, sometimes you have even more questions when you have more answers
Can you do 5 signs you are not an ISFJ or ESFJ if you have not done it before
There's already one on the ISFJ
In plain English please
Can someone type me? When I was at the age of 9-15 yrs old my cognitive function is like this:
Fi
Te
Ni
Se
But during my early teenage years I got depressed (my stack remained the same except that my Fi increased) but now I’ve recovered from it so my cognitive stack is currently this:
Te
Fi
Ni
Se
It looks like I’ve always had high Te to begin with despite all the changes I went through. If so then what type does that make me 😭?
whats the diff between autism and having ni
Interesting question, do you have any speculations as to why this might be so? I'm not negating what you're saying btw, I'm truly interested 😊. Ps is there a difference are perhaps some overlap?
@@Tified967 I'm autistic and often the way I think is very linear so to some people it seems like I lack ne because with autism, you can have one track mind thinking because we hyperfocus and we have special interests, its similar to adhd which I also have. I think si and ni and ti are very similar to autistic traits and ne and se are similar to adhd traits, so its been a nightmare finding my mbti type because anything fits me at this point.
In your type servicing journey, would you roughly say you've typed more lens or codec dominants? Or maybe an even amount? I've always wondered this.
Slightly more codec dominants!
Interesting, thanks!
And were some of those codec dominants pre-yourtypingthem self-mistyped as lens dominants? :)
hmmm, about that last sign, wasnt that depend on the ecosystem / team or ISFP would just prefer to be a "hero" from the very start?
because for me atleast, if i dont trust someone skill enough, i prefer to to do it myself, or at the very least, trying to explain to the person in meticulous as much as possible, but i do happy to be in environment where i know we will create something great though, or in envrionment where i could learn from
Definitely not a hard and fast rule, TeNe blind types tend to just have more conditions that must be satisfied foremost
@@CognitivePersonality what differentiate between Te convergent condition vs Te divergence one? i guess the former condition lies in ego, while the later comes from less selfish standard, "i want it to be like that" vs "it supposed to be like that" thing?
With all respect to cognitive functions, this one is the lamest types of all - no sense of own identity, pursuing the future may never come, “doer” stuck in Se, all archetypal details borrowed from pre-existing characters… Yuck! What a darn golem. The worst case scenario if I’m ISFP myself, which would be so mournful 😅 It’s like some types are not born to be great like others
There should be more to this type - comparing to the ESFJ video (them both are part of the same network eventually), this type shown more shallow that it should be tbh! For example, there should be Fe>Ne dip to this type! Peace
i relate to everything u say aabout infp isfp and intp :(
Content is there. I recommend for this stateside ears, to work more on annunciation. And be sure and get the best microphone. Xoxo,
big fan!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
One reason ISFPs get mistyped as INTP and ENTP is because Socionics shows they have the same prefered functions.
As ISFPs actually lead with correctly defined SiFe.
It amazes me how us intuitives failed the introverted sensors in erroneously believing Isabel Myers that because her as an INFP led with Fi, so too do actual perceiving ISFPs.
Which is false. As all SPs lead with sensation. Which is why they are perceivers.
This wouldn't be compatible with CPT; you can't lead with a perceiving function and codec of differing orientations. The model you're referring to is obsolete when it comes to CPT I'm afraid; I'd check out the accompanying ebook.
...Send mistypes here you say? Dude you're way too hard to follow.
Well considering Harry is an INFJ it'll narrow down the supposed INFJ masses who clearly aren't Ni-Ti convergents at the very least. Granted if you don't utilise Ni-Ti/Ti-Ni consciously you might find this difficult to follow/some other cognitive pairings albeit we all utilise all the functional pairings so anyone who's willing to do the ground work & understand the levels of abstraction will be able to follow.
Could you please work on your pronunciation of R
Hello Mr. Harry! I don't know if you remember me but last year I commented on your Enfp video saying that I'm an enfp and my husband is an isfx and that we are on the verge of divorce. The divorce period went for a year because of some legal issues and finally we were supposed to divorce today. But then I saw that you uploaded my long-awaited isfp video. Me and my husband watched it together and we decided to give our relationship one more chance. Thank you for saving my marriage ❤ You are my number two hero 🫵(number one is my husband😜)
Awww that's such a nice storyXD❤
Interesting story. Glad to hear you guys are giving it another chance.
🥹🫶🏻🌸
Are you srsly deciding your marriage based on a fucking theory

Guitar channel?
After August I'll have more free time for music!
@@CognitivePersonality Thanks Harry! then the next next idea is to make a cover of the guitar soundtrack from the game STALKER He was a good stalker
@@CognitivePersonalitywhoa! There's a guitar channel?
