ISFP Careers

ISFPs tend to thrive in environments that allow them to work from home on a flexible schedule. They enjoy pursuing their passions to help others and learn more about the world around them.

ISFPs feel most motivated when they are given time to work independently from others. Though they love getting to know their coworkers, they’re likely to feel more productive when they can think through things on their own.

ISFPs also appreciate working alongside people who are caring and affirming. They want to feel supported at work, so when their bosses, peers, and direct reports are able to show them appreciation, ISFPs are likely to feel welcomed, which tends to be very motivating for them.

ISFPs are likely to feel frustrated when they need to work in overcrowded or loud places. They like having their own quiet space to focus and are likely to feel too overwhelmed by noisy environments. It’s important that ISFPs have a more subdued place to work.

Because ISFPs enjoy getting to know their coworkers, they are likely to feel especially frustrated at work if no one takes the time to learn more about them. When their bosses, peers, or direct reports don’t like them, ISFPs may feel uncomfortable and distracted. They tend to take it personally and may feel less confident at work if others don’t appreciate them. People who work with ISFPs should spend more time getting to know them on a personal level, while ISFPs should learn to be more comfortable with themselves, independent of what others may think of them.

ISFP types have a passion for helping others. They are natural-born creatives and enjoy careers that allow them to have flexible schedules.
