Ashton, Britney and Paul? OH MY! & Affirmation

ISFP 

Introvert(11%)  Sensing(1%) Feeling(62%) Perceiving(22%)
          •You have slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion 
          •You have marginal or no preference of Sensing over Intuition 
          •You have distinctive preference of Feeling over Thinking  
          •You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging  

More in touch with the reality of their senses than their INFP counterparts, ISFPs live in the here and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run. (One ISFP friend has become nonambulatory within the past few years. He will still, on impulse, leave home in the middle of the night and go to Las Vegas or wherever, regardless of the difficulties of his physical condition.)
----I'm not completely sure if I'll interpret this right, but I see the first statement as: understanding their feeling and emotions, and how those things happen. Which I find true, especially since I actually am different from how lots of people view me, and I also know why. Also, like most students, I truly HATE being in school. I'd rather be out doing something, so the "free" aspect sounds like me. I'd rather be out doing something that I truly love. 

ISFPs may be quite charming and ingratiating on first acquaintance, flowing with compliments which may (or may not) be deserved. On other occasions, the same individual may be aloof and detached. Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may have great difficulty losing. This competitive nature, also seen in other SP types, sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a willingness to take risks.
----I think this part also fits me. I tend to switch emotions a lot, but not in a bipolar sense if you get that. Just sometimes, I like being the center, but then at other times I'd rather just be alone and think to myself. Haha, the 50% 50%-ness of my life shows again! Also, the fiercely competitive part doesn't just apply to guys....yeah :) 

Organized education is difficult for the majority of ISFPs, and many drop out before finishing secondary education. Their interest can be held better through experiential learning, at which many excel. ISFPs will practice playing an instrument or honing a favored skill for hours on end, not so much as practice as for the joy of the experience.
----I do find "organized education" difficult, but I do not plan on dropping out. I'm too close to passing. I've been neglecting a consistent pattern of practicing guitar, piano, and singing. However, when I do sit down and play piano, or guitar, or just look at a singing piece I have for a competition, I work on it for hours. I have a tendency to do that when I should be doing homework for school... But I won't even realize that I've been playing/singing for that long. I keep working to be better at it. The process is hard, but it's fun. The same goes with my dancing. I find it fun, even if it's not truly productive, and I get lost in it. :)

Leyla is very passionate about everything that she enjoys. She is passionate about Korean, dance, singing and God. She is understanding of trials of others because she has had many trials of her own. She is caring because she wants to make people feel better when they are feeling down and she is willing to talk through issues with people because she cares. Leyla is hardworking in may ways. She is constantly working on things from school to singing to dance. She always seems to be busy with Church as well. She constantly is doing something and always tries to do her best. Leyla always seems to be able to interact with new people and she can have a flowing conversation with everyone I see her talking with. Altogether, she is an amazing person.

  1. Well hello there cohort! After reading your blog I have realized there are aspects of me that are also ISFP. Maybe this is why we are cohorts! Anyway, I too have trouble with constructed learning and I too I have trouble with fulling commiting to something. I have a fear of failing, so I miss great oportunities. Additionally, I too see myself differently than how other people see me, but neither of the two matter more than how God see you. Keep your head up and shine! I know you'll do great! :)

  2. Hmm am I surprised that most of your type twins are famous and successful performers? Nope, not at all :)

  3. Yo buddy!! This is fantastic, our only difference is that I am an ESFP rather than an ISFP. As I was reading this, it struck a chord with me, because it is so you! You were meant to be an artist and performer, Leyla, keep pushing on through school. I understand the thirst for adventure and spontaneity, especially the up and down emotions because I experience the same whimsy. Thank you for sharing you thoughts, they were fun to read!

  4. Thanks for your honesty Leyla. I don't doubt that you're better suited for daily activities that more regularly allow you to delve into your creative passions... But I'm glad you're determined to stick with the grind a little while longer. You may hate it less in hindsight. :) In any case, I hope your future entails less routine, and more opportunities to do what you truly love!
    10/10
