Dear readers, before you read this post: I think my post is highly misleading, unless if one were to read the message board which I posted the link : http://infp.globalchatter.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=219 and you would understand that I was trying to figure out if i were an ISFP or INFP! lol. Not saying if INFPs were better than ISFPs or UFOs.
Sorry for the misdirection.

damn. I do hate this. all because of a small remark…clearing brain of clutter.
*shakes head. Ok, a quote from http://infp.globalchatter.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=219:
>>> *are my own
Here are some of the differences I’ve noticed…
While both are drawn to beauty, ISFPs see it more in the physical/sensual world; they focus more on the form, the color, the sound, the overall look, while INFPs focus more on the meanings, the feelings, the symbolism, etc. >>*I focused on the infp style in my early years, but learnt the isfp style the past 5 years. DRAW.
As Artisans, ISFPs mainly pursue pleasure of the senses, and aren’t overly concerned with what scruples may get in the way of other types; they live for the moment and go after what they want, often regardless of the consequences or how others might feel about it. INFPs have desires and enjoy pleasure, but they tend to place lofty ideals at a greater priority. >>*er? pleasure of senses. haha infp wins this round
ISFPs tend to be much more in tune with their bodies, and love physical activities – you often see them hiking, mountainclimbing, swimming, playing a sport, and dancing. INFPs tend to live life more in their heads. >>* i think this would really depend right? but infp wins.
With their eye for physical beauty, I think ISFPs tend to dress sexy, “cool”, at the very least in a way that they know makes them attractive, while INFPs generally give very little thought to their outward appearance (“If you’re judging me by the way I look, then you’re shallow.”). >>*geez, not all infp are slobs! isfp wins.
In conversation, ISFPs mainly stick to “real world” topics – places, things, people they know, events that happened, things people did or said, etc. I’ve found that when I as an INFP get abstract and start talking about religion, philosophy, or speaking in metaphors, the ISFP usually furrows their brow and looks like they’re trying to decipher a foreign language, or like they’re thinking: “and remind me, again, why this is interesting?” Smile>>*infp wins.
And in my experience ISFPs can be very quiet, and very difficult to get to know. While an INFP will talk your ear off if they sense that you want to try to know and understand them, or are interested in their thoughts, ISFPs generally don’t like to talk much at all, preferring to keep their thoughts and feelings private. They mainly prefer to communicate through their actions, and through their “arts”, and enjoy people’s company through shared experiences.>>*infp wins, although i do like crafts, you know.
score:
infp -5
isfp -2

ISFP (woman) in love with an INFP (man). He’s a journalist whilst I am an artist (barber ~ same thing).
Yes, you’re tooting your own horn, but you take pride in your MBTI. This is a good thing, but don’t try to see yourself above all the other 15 types as a typical INFP would. It may do your type some good to attempt to overcome this obstacle

Neither is better, but the INFP is easier to know. The ISFP is a mystery.
