If you pay attention you will realize almost every xNxJ character in this site have ISFP mistyping comments below their pages because half of this community have no idea about Ni function. So they go like “I don’t see Ni but I see lots of feeling function and Se but I don’t see dominant Se so I think she is Fi-Se.” You don’t see Ni because you don’t know what it is. Ni function is about correlating unconscious images with conscious objects/experiences. What that mean is a Ni user would perceive the world and search for the meaning behind things instead of simply interacting with them. She used her Ni well when she criticized the system of education for being patriarchal, interpreted Bogey’s party as an excuse for satisfying meaningless hedonistic tendencies, rebelled against her father’s controling behaviour caused by her mother’s abandonment etc. How you can tell the difference between Fi and Ni is that Ni asks “what does it mean?” while Fi asks “what does it mean TO ME?” An ISFP interact with things and try to understand and interpret them according to her values. An INTJ perceive things and try to understand the meaning behind what is what or what is happening. A simple example for the difference is when Patrick insisted on going to party together an ISFP would probably say “I don’t want to go. Why are you pushing me? Why don’t you respect what I want? I don’t like parties, I don’t feel like going.” etc. Because ISFP leads with Fi, so it would be about what they want and feel like doing. But the question she asked was “Why are you insisting? What’s in it for you?” Because she is a perceiver, she knew Patrick’s normal behaviour and when she realized there was something unusual she asked that question. And also her reason for not going to the party was she thinks it is stupid, something she decided with her perception. I’m not saying ISFPs can’t understand or perceive things, they have tertiary Ni so of course they will do it. But they are leading with JUDGING function. So their final decision will always be about what they feel or think about things. But INTJs are leading with PERCEIVING function, that means they will decide things based on what they really are & what they really mean. Not what they really mean TO THEM. And since they have tertiary Fi they will use their Fi to decide what parts of life the will indulge in. Just like ISFP’s Ni and search for meaning. Another similarity between INTJ and ISFP is both of them want their life and their decisions to mean something. Basic difference about that is ISFP would want to look for that meaning in themselves. “What does it mean to me? What do I want to do? What am I supposed to do with my life?”etc. It’s not coincidence that most ISFPs are artist because they find meaning in expressing themselves, creating something that will project their true self. On the other hand, INTJs would want to do something meaningful but this thing does not have to be about them as a person, but something they support personally. Feminism is a common theme, not something personal. So it is the idea she supports, it is not her personal value. As for the comments that claims she is ISFP because she goes to the concerts and listens to music, reads books etc. I can only laugh at these comments. She’s a normal teenager and it is only natural for her to indulge in these things. Is there anyone in this world who never listens to music or read books as a hobby? Why she doesn’t have to go to concerts? According to this point of view, everyone who goes to concerts are Se user and Si users would never go to concerts or listens to music. She is listening to music and goes to concerts and drinks so only thing she can be is ISFP because nobody else can do this things. I don’t know if my explanation is clear enough, but If you want to see the difference more clearly I think Claire Fisher from the HBO series Six Feet Under is an excellent example for an ISFP. If you watch that show and rewatch this movie again you will clearly see the differences between two types because Kat is also an excellen example for INTJ. Please read Carl Jung’s books if you are into typology, so you will have a better understanding these differences I just mentioned above.
