P (perception) - prefers freedom and unpredictability.

ISFPs are subtle, emotional and sensitive natures, often possessing artistic perception and developed taste. For their subtle perception of reality, they are often called Artists.

Artists like to maintain warm relationships with people. They are not conflict and are able to understand the feelings of another person. Often they are modest and underestimate themselves. It can be difficult for them to express their thoughts and it is especially difficult to firmly defend their rights and interests. Artists love it when others are tactful and show their emotions delicately. A rude word Artists are easy to hurt or offend.

According to the statistics of people with the ISFP type in the world:

9% of the total population
10% women
8% men

Artists like to decide in a new way each time what they will do. They cannot stand the routine and strive to escape from its captivity by any means. Artists often live without goals and prefer to go with the flow and see what life has to offer. Instead of creating important events in their lives, they often react to circumstances and get involved in what other people have to offer.

People with this personality type live in the here and now. They know how to enjoy life and relationships. They like to do things that give a sense of pleasure and are of practical value to other people. What Artists neglect are plans for the future. By giving preference to things of the moment, they deprive themselves of the opportunity to connect steps in the present with consequences in the distant future.

Artists enjoy many things - from communication in the family, taking care of the house, about animals and plants, from high-quality and tasty food, sex, art, hobbies, from everything that they love to do. Family is often one of the key values for ISFPs. They are devoted and caring partners, attentive to the feelings of the other person. Partings and crises Artists are experiencing extremely hard.

Artists don't like to be the center of attention. Usually these are quiet, unpretentious people who are not ready to open up to the first comer. Getting into their close circle of friends is not so easy, but those who know them know that they are incredibly deep, sympathetic friends.

Artists are rarely ambitious and do not strive to build a brilliant career. The artist is alien to control over other people. They do not like to rule and give instructions, but they also do not like to obey. They like to do everything their own way, to remain independent in their decisions and actions. Every minute they are ready to react to what life will offer them. Artists like to enjoy the process more than the result.

Notable personalities of this type include:

Marilyn Monroe
Jacqueline Kennedy
Michael Jackson
Cher
Barbara Streisand
Bob Dylan
Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart

Artists don't like theorizing or complicated concepts. It is difficult for them to give logical analysis, they make decisions with their hearts even at those moments when it is worth turning on a cold mind. Warmth is important, they build relationships, make decisions, guided by an emotional response. They have their own value system that guides them in life. It is important for ISFPs to feel connected to other people. They do not tend to get involved in conflicts and they avoid them. It is difficult for them to say “no” and engage in confrontation, as a result of which other people use Artists for their own purposes. These are very kind, gentle, impressionable and attentive people in communication.

Artists often have creative talent, they have a developed sense of taste and artistic perception of reality. There are many ISFPs among artists, they are often found among artists, actors, writers, film directors. It is important for artists to find a business in which their creative energy is realized, without this their life will be incomplete.

The essence of the Mayer-Briggs typology

The problem of personal self-knowledge has fascinated psychologists for a long time. People have been trying to study the temperament of a person, his character, behavior and the image (that is, obvious, reactions, manner of acting) corresponding to these factors since the time of the Ancient World, and this area still includes a lot of unknown knowledge. Certain research difficulties often make it necessary to take a different approach to the analysis of the personality of representatives of different cultures, beliefs, mentality and other separating factors.

For example, since the mid-40s of the last century, the Myers-Briggs typology has been successfully used in various areas of psychology (the abbreviation MBTI corresponds to the name of the authors and the topic of the study - Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, along with it the term "socionics" is often used). It was preceded by the earlier brilliant work of Carl Jung, which inspired the American Catherine Briggs and her daughter Isabelle to come up with their own simple version of how to recognize psychological personality types, and based on this knowledge, be able to achieve success in life.

It is possible to determine the personal preferences of an individual on the basis of simple testing. By the way, in the USA it is still of great interest, as it allows you to quickly determine the professional preferences of people, to help them in their professional self-orientation. Based on the description of the personality, revealing its hidden features and qualities, one can correctly choose the possible direction of activity, whether it be creativity, psychology, business or another area.

Such a system helps people determine the specific order of things in life, find a connection between the inner world and its external perception, talk about the type of person's personality.
