Let's do the Personality type thing

Re: Let's do the Personality type thing
ISFPs are gentle caretakers who live in the present moment and enjoy
their surroundings with cheerful, low-key enthusiasm. They are flexible
and spontaneous, and like to go with the flow to enjoy what life has to
offer. ISFPs are quiet and unassuming, and may be hard to get to know.
However, to those who know them well, the ISFP is warm and friendly,
eager to share in life's many experiences.
ISFPs have a strong aesthetic sense and seek out beauty in their
surroundings. They are attuned to sensory experience, and often have a
natural talent for the arts. ISFPs especially excel at manipulating
objects, and may wield creative tools like paintbrushes and sculptor's
knives with great mastery.
INFP in a Nutshell
INFPs are imaginative idealists, guided by their own core values and beliefs. To a Healer, possibilities are paramount; the realism of the moment is only of passing concern. They see potential for a better future, and pursue truth and meaning with their own individual flair.
INFPs are sensitive, caring, and compassionate, and are deeply concerned with the personal growth of themselves and others. Individualistic and nonjudgmental, INFPs believe that each person must find their own path. They enjoy spending time exploring their own ideas and values, and are gently encouraging to others to do the same. INFPs are creative and often artistic; they enjoy finding new outlets for self-expression.

- Gayle Forman
"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman

My sweet babies:
ISTJs are responsible organizers, driven to create and enforce order
within systems and institutions. They are neat and orderly, inside and
out, and tend to have a procedure for everything they do. Reliable and
dutiful, ISTJs want to uphold tradition and follow regulations.
ISTJs are steady, productive contributors. Although they are
Introverted, ISTJs are rarely isolated; typical ISTJs know just where
they belong in life, and want to understand how they can participate in
established organizations and systems. They concern themselves with
maintaining the social order and making sure that standards are met.
