What do you ISFP's do for careers?

Question

I am an ISFP based on the Myers-Briggs personality test. I am in a career crisis and would like to to know what people like me do for work.

Answer 1

The ISFP is a very special individual who needs to have a career which is more than a job. The middle of the road is not likely to be a place where they will be fulfilled and happy. They need to have a career which is consistent with their strong core of inner values. Since they prefer to live in the current moment, and take the time to savor it, they do not do well with some of the more fast-paced corporate environments. They need a great deal of space and freedom if they are going to function in their natural realm of acute sensory awareness. If they give free reign to their natural abilities, they may find a wonderful artist within themselves. Almost every major artist in the world has been an ISFP. Since the ISFP is so acutely aware of people's feelings and reactions, and is driven by their inner values to help people, the ISFP is also a natural counselor and teacher.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFP:

Artist
Musician / Composer
Designer
Child Care / Early Childhood Development
Social Worker / Counselor
Teacher
Psychologist
Veterinarian
Forest Ranger
Pediatrician

FYI: It's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ISFPs generally have the following traits:

*Keen awareness of their environment
*Live in the present moment
*Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment
*Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless they see a practical application
*Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to them
*Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow
*Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to
*Special bond with children and animals
*Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
*Trusting, sensitive, and kind
*Service-oriented; they're driven to help others
*Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty
*Likely to be original and unconventional
*Learn best with hands-on training
*Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens
*Need space and freedom to do things their own way
*Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary

I have many friends who are ISFP's or INFP's, and I respect their need for privacy, and appreciate their loyalty, their sensitivity and kindness, their generosity, their originality, and have learned a great deal about spontaneity from them!

I'm an ENFJ, but have a great need for privacy, and I have a problem with routines, rules, and with authority... so I love being around original, creative people!

Good luck!
