I posted on the "what's my personality forum" and was typed as an INFJ, which is what I originally thought I was as I knew I had Fe/Ti and thought I had Ni. The more I interact with ISFJ's though, I think I see more similarities.
I get upset and frustrated when people (namely boyfriends) don't seem to take responsibilities like school seriously and just don't seem to want to grow up. I am 21 and about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing and have a job lined up because I want to be independent and self-sufficient and a "real" adult. I hated relying on my parents. Now, I used to think that maybe this was due to my Ni seeing future consequences in not taking things seriously and an NFness of not wanting to put a burden on my parents for having to support me any more than a few years out of high school.
I read an argument than an ENTP had with his ISFJ wife and I knew exactly how the ISFJ J was feeling. Again, I don't know if it's my NF identification with feelings and understanding (because I could see the ENTPs points as well) or maybe because I AM an ISFJ.
When I am upset with people, I can't tell them right away. I need to think about it and not let their feelings influence me. I need to calm down and think it through. When I get in a fight with my boyfriend and he calls me and calls me wanting to talk about, I have to say I need more time. This is probably the Ti of either type.
I guess I don't know weather my dom is Si or Ni. I get feelings that I just "know" things and things just "come" to me. I have a hard time knowing if I'm right and tend to doubt it at times. I feel like an intuitive because I am spacy and always in my head and can see connections and enjoy figuring people like INFJs do. But, I am very serious and take responsibilities seriously like an ISFJ. I can't help but judge people that want to live with their parents and not grow up. And I certainly can't date someone who doesn't value education. I know at my age a guy may not already have a degree like me, but, if they talk about "crazy" dreams like being a rock star or pro athlete or something, I think they are ridiculous. I can not support those kind of things, as bad as I feel about saying that.
I have researched Ni pretty well but what can you helpful ISFJ's tell me about Si?
Thank you in advance!
