๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐️ Question: As an INTJ-A personality type, what do you like and dislike about most ISFPs and INFPs? How do you differentiate between those two personality types?
What are some of the things you'd usually do if you were close friends with an ISFP or INFP?
๐ Answer: ๐ธWhat I like or admire about most INFPs:
•¶ How a lot of them can be very open-minded, far away from being obnoxiously judgmental (if they're not struggling with jealousy and low self-esteem).
•¶ Their willingness to fight for others' rights and defend those whom they truly care about.
•¶ How many INFPs don't focus too much on the way people perceive them as long as they believe they're doing what they value.
❎ What I dislike about some INFPs:
¶• When they're too oversensitive and misunderstand your actual motives behind asking them certain questions.
¶• When some of them prove to be unreliable, somewhat forgetful regarding important matters and clumsy at times.
๐นWhat I like or admire about some ISFPs:
•¶ How creative and artistic many of them can be.
•¶ Their spontaneity and ability to be flexible sometimes.
•¶ Their agility and capability of doing numerous tasks quickly - but only if they're in the mood to do them willingly.
❎ What I dislike about some ISFPs:
¶• Their tendency to be stubborn at times regarding unreasonable demands or irrational choices. How a lot of them would do something just because they "feel like doing it" without understanding really why they're doing that thing.
¶• When some of them would act unsupportive, uncooperative or cowardly passive-aggressive if you did something in the past which offended their sensitive feelings.
๐ How to distinguish ISFPs from INFPs:
•|° ISFPs are generally more observant and better at noticing little details than INFPs.
•|° INFPs in general are more open-minded and receptive to different ideas, constructive feedback and eccentric thoughts etc. than ISFPs.
•|° Because many INFPs aren't always aware of their surroundings and not overly concerned with their overall appearance, you're more likely to meet an INFP wearing their shirt or outfit inside out while most ISFPs appear to be more neatly dressed or well put together.
•|° Quality time with an INFP could involve long and meaningful conversations which encourage them to reflect on their values and emotions. Quality time with an ISFP would likely consist of doing fun, adventurous or new activities outdoors... or indoors depending on their current moods.
✅ From the things which I (INTJ) may do to indicate that I regard an INFP or ISFP as a friend:
1] Regularly go out of my way, online and face to face, to check how they're doing and attentively listen to them rant or describe how they're currently feeling, then offer some words which are hopefully reassuring.
2] Lovingly include them in my Du'as, whether or not I inform them that I pray for their well-being often.
3] Frequently visit their social media accounts, pages, websites, blogs or YouTube channel(s) at least once every three months or so.
4] Eagerly request for some advice or feedback from them when necessary.
5] Prolong dialogues with them online and offline, and ask them random questions about themselves to be more acquainted with them instead of relying on my own assumptions about them.
6] Occasionally support their halal businesses or hobby if they have one.
7] Directly approach them and advise them if I know that they've made an error, instead of letting them sabotage themselves through ignorance or continuity of carrying out the same mistakes.

The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and deliberately committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."
