MBTI ENTP INFJ....

The MBTI (Myers - Briggs Type Indicator) is a psychological personality assessment tool that uses a series of questions to understand people's preferences in perception and judgment, and classifies personalities into 16 different types. The ISFJ personality type is known as the 'Guardian Personality'.

Characteristics:

• Introverted and Quiet: ISFJs enjoy solitude and introspection. They restore their energy through solitary thinking and rest. They are usually quiet and reserved in social situations and do not like to be the center of attention. However, this does not mean they are not good at socializing. They are more inclined to establish deep relationships with a few familiar people.
• Emotionally Rich and Sensitive: They have a keen insight into others' emotions and feelings and can understand others' emotional needs well and provide appropriate care and support. At the same time, their own emotions are easily affected by others and the environment. They are not good at actively expressing their inner feelings and often hide their emotions in their hearts.
• Traditional and Orderly: They value traditions and established rules and orders. They are accustomed to following social norms and customs and are relatively slow to accept new ideas and changes. However, this respect for tradition enables them to play a positive role in maintaining stability and passing on culture.

Cognitive Functions:

• Dominant Function: Introverted Sensing (Si): They pay attention to details and specific facts, are good at observing and remembering various information in the surrounding environment, have a deep understanding and dependence on past experiences and traditions, and refer to past experiences and familiar patterns when making decisions.
• Auxiliary Function: Extraverted Feeling (Fe): They emphasize social harmony and interpersonal relationships, strive to meet others' needs, care about others' feelings, are good at listening and providing emotional support. In order to maintain a harmonious atmosphere, they sometimes even sacrifice their own interests.
• Tertiary Function: Introverted Thinking (Ti): When processing information, they use logical analysis to find the connections and patterns between things to better understand the world and solve problems. However, compared with emotions and intuition, their performance in these aspects is more prominent.
• Inferior Function: Extraverted Intuition (Ne): This is the relatively weak function of ISFJs. They usually pay more attention to real and specific things and are not interested in future possibilities and abstract concepts. But in some cases, they will also unconsciously use extraverted intuition to explore other possibilities.
