Is the ISFJ hard to understand? |
Yes, Ned the Piemaker from Pushing Daisies is, in fact, an ISFJ. He makes it into my top five favorite fictional ISFJs that include Captain America, John Watson, and Kevin Ryan from Castle. If anyone is hard to understand, it's Ned!
So, onto the question, is the ISFJ hard to understand? That entirely depends on how well you understand the ISFJ cognitive functions. Because Si is our top function we spend a whole of time living in the past. In fact, if we could wrap ourselves up in physical representations of our memories, then we would. In fact, I sort of do, judging by the classic movie posters on my walls and the unopened Elvis and James Dean collectible dolls on display on my bookcase. They're memories and whenever I see them, I'm reminded of what I love. If you can understand that part of an ISFJ, then you're halfway there. If you can't, it's probably because you're still trying to approach the ISFJ from your perspective instead of trying to see from our perspective.
