INTRODUCTION
This report presents information to help you make use of your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI®) results.
The research-based Myers-Briggs® assessment identifies sixteen different personality types that can be used to
describe people. Learning about these types will help you better understand yourself and others and improve the
interactions in your daily life.

Based on your responses to the MBTI assessment,
your personality type is

Based on the work of psychologist Carl Jung, the MBTI assessment was developed with great care by Isabel
Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, who spent years observing human behavior. Their ideas help explain
why people are interested in different things, like different kinds of work, and sometimes find it hard to
understand each other—all due to differences in how they take in information and make decisions about it.
Your Interpretive Report will show how your personality type is distinct from other types and how it influences
the way you communicate, learn, and work with other people.

This tool has been used for more than 75 years with students around the world to help them

• Choose classes, majors, and careers that match their interests and personality

• Understand different ways to study and learn more effectively and successfully

• Improve communication and teamwork as they gain awareness of the personality differences
they see in others

• Manage the stress they may experience as a result of their studies or their relationships

YOUR PREFERENCES AND PERSONALITY TYPE
Your personality type is made up of your preferences in four separate categories that together describe how
you typically go about noticing and thinking about things and interacting with people and the world. When you
completed the assessment, you made choices that reflected your preference in each of the four categories.

THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF PERSONALITY TYPE

Where you focus your attention

The way you take in information

The way you make decisions

How you deal with the world

THE PREFERENCES

Extraversion or

Sensing or

Thinking or

Judging or

Introversion

Intuition

Feeling

Perceiving

E I

S N

T F

J P

Everyone uses all of these preferences, but one in each category is favored and used more often, more
comfortably. Think of this like being right-handed or left-handed. Both hands are necessary and useful, but one
is naturally favored and used more often, more easily. Similarly, type preferences are choices between equally
valuable and useful qualities. Your ISFP preferences are highlighted below.

Intuition
Taking in information by seeing patterns and the
big picture, with a focus on future possibilities

Perceiving
Taking a flexible, spontaneous approach
to life, liking to keep options open

Extraversion
Focusing attention on the outer world of
people and things

Thinking
Making decisions mostly on the basis of
logic and objective analysis

Sensing
Taking in information through the five
senses, with a focus on the here and now

Judging
Taking a planned and organized approach
to life, liking to have things settled

Introversion
Focusing attention on the inner world of
ideas and impressions

Feeling
Making decisions mostly on the basis of values
and subjective, people-centered concerns

YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE DESCRIPTION

An ISFP is likely to be…

KEY DESCRIPTORS

• Warm

• Sensitive

• Friendly

• Kind

• Devoted

• Considerate

• Loyal

• Practical

• Realistic

• Concrete

• Quiet

• Adaptable

ISFPs live in the present with a quiet sense of joyfulness and want time to experience each moment. They prize the
freedom to follow their own path and have their own space. They faithfully fulfill their obligations to people or
organizations that are important to them.

ISFPs’ decisions and interactions are guided by a strong core of inner values, and they try to live their outer life
accordingly. They want work that is more than just a job; they want to contribute to the well-being or happiness
of others. They dislike disagreements and conflict and try to avoid both. They are adaptable and flexible unless
something that matters deeply to them is endangered. They often feel a special affinity for children and animals.

ISFPs are acutely aware of the facts and realities of the present. They tune in to the feelings and needs of others
and are flexible in responding to them. They are sensitive to the details that matter to others.

ISFPs care deeply about people, but because they are quiet and unassuming, their warmth, enthusiasm, and playful
humor may not be apparent to others. They show their warmth through actions rather than words and express
their devotion to others in many quiet ways. They prefer to observe and support rather than organize or dominate
others.

ISFPs learn by doing rather than by reading or listening. They have little interest in abstraction and theory, wanting
to learn practical skills that will help them help others, and thus often choose majors in human services.
Because they tend to take their abilities for granted and judge their accomplishments against exacting inner
standards, they may underestimate themselves in comparison to other students.

ISFPs have two potential blind spots. First, if they fail to take in enough information, they may make overly
personal decisions with limited impact, decisions that do not express their values in the outer world. Second,
their tendency to delay decisions may allow others or circumstances to decide for them. They need to collect the
relevant facts from the outer world, reflect on how those facts relate to their core values, and act accordingly.

YOUR UNIQUE PREFERENCE PATTERN
Your personality type is much more than a simple combination of your four preferences. Each type has its own
unique preference pattern that helps explain why what’s easy or interesting for one type is difficult or dull for
another. The key to understanding your unique pattern is found in the two middle letters of your four-letter type
code. Those two letters show which of four mental processes you prefer.

Sensing or

Thinking or

Intuition

Feeling

S N

T F

The pattern also shows whether you use your #1, or favorite, process in the outer world of people and things,
that is, in an Extraverted way, or whether you use it in your inner world of ideas and impressions, in an
Introverted way. Here’s what this means for your type, ISFP.

You use your #1 process, Feeling, in your inner world of ideas and impressions, so your use of Feeling may not
be very apparent to others. You use your #2 process, Sensing, in the outer world of people and things, so your
use of Sensing may be easily observed by others because you express it outwardly. You also use Intuition and
Thinking, but with less frequency and ease. Thinking is the process you are most likely to overlook.

#1 Feeling Most preferred

#3 Intuition Third

#2 Sensing Second

#4 Thinking Least preferred

#1 Feeling Used in the inner world #2 Sensing Used in the outer world

Everyone uses all four of the mental processes, but each type has its own pattern that signals which of the four
is favorite and most used, and which is second, third, and least favorite and used. People tend to focus on their
#1 and #2 processes in the first half of life and become more interested in developing and using #3 and #4 in
the second half of life. Your ISFP pattern is shown below.

Your type description takes all these patterns into account in describing your typical behavior in everyday
life. Review this description carefully to see how it measures up to your self-knowledge. If when you read the
description you feel comfortably understood, then the four-letter type in this report is probably right for you.
The description is meant to help you trust and develop the preferences that come most naturally to you, but
remember that you use all eight preferences some of the time, depending on the circumstances.

CLARITY OF YOUR PREFERENCES
The MBTI assessment not only reports your preferences based on the way you responded to the questions but
also tells how clear you were in selecting each preference over its opposite. This is called the preference clarity
index, or pci. The graph below depicts your pci results in each of the four categories. The longer the bar, the
more clearly you expressed that preference over its opposite; the shorter the bar, the less sure you are about that
preference. Do your choices seem on target for you?

If Your ISFP Pattern Doesn’t Seem Quite Right

People’s personalities are much too complex to be fully accounted for by a single set of questions on a
personality assessment, no matter how well researched those questions might be. If your type description
doesn’t seem quite right for you, consider the following:

• When you answered the MBTI questions, what was your frame of mind? Did you choose the responses that
came most easily and naturally to you, reflecting your most natural, true self? Or did you respond in ways
you thought you should respond, or in ways you felt others would want you to? If your responses did not
reflect your most natural, true self, then your description may not quite fit.

• Was it hard for you to make a choice when responding to some of the questions? If so, perhaps that helps
account for why you feel your results don’t accurately reflect your true personality. What if the choice had
gone the other way? What letter in your type might change?

• If your responses were those that came most easily to you and reflected your most natural self, yet the
description does not seem to fit you well, can you find a type that describes you better? Use the Introduction
to Myers-Briggs® Type booklet to review descriptions of each of the sixteen types and talk to your counselor
to help you find the type that fits you best.
