What Can I Do with My PersonalityType?
ISFP Careers and Majors

(Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving)

 

ISFPs live in a world of sensational possibilities and are in tune with the way things look, taste, sound, feel, and smell. They have a strong aesthetic appreciation for art, and are likely to be artists in some form because they are gifted at creating things that affect the senses. ISFPs are quiet, reserved, perceptive and sympathetic individuals with little desire to lead or control others. They usually choose careers where they are given a great deal of autonomy so their natural artistic abilities can operate at their best and allow them to be consistent with their strong core of inner values. ISFPs are natural artists, counselors, and teachers. They rarely enjoy the fast-paced corporate world. ISFPs make up approximately 6% of the general population. The following list represents some careers that may appeal to ISFPs.
