Can you do a type contrast between ISFJ and ISTP using characters as an example? I figure the two types would be quite different.

They use Fe quite differently, as you might imagine.

Think about Prim and Haymitch from The Hunger Games.

As a high Fe / feeler, Prim genuinely cares about people and their needs and their emotional state. She is more effective than her sister at figuring out people’s emotional motives and helping them through them, and has chosen a profession for herself which enables her to directly assist people in a tangible way. She is quiet, thoughtful, insightful, and hard-working, with a tender heart. She loves all creatures, even her mangy old cat. Prim excels in one specific thing (medicine) and has become very good at it through repeated usage of / interest in it (Si finding a favorite niche, unique to themselves).

Haymitch approaches Fe in an analytical, detached way -- he uses it purely to gain sponsorships and ensure his own and Katniss’ survival, reminding her she must be ‘likable’ in order to gain sympathy from the audience. This illustrates the difference between the genuine concern of high Fe and using it to an advantage, to support a logical conclusion (she needs sponsors, they must learn to like her, ergo -- be flattering and appealing to get what you want -- something Katniss as an ISTJ doesn’t understand, because to her, it’s insincere). He did whatever he had to in the arena to survive, he has no specific way he approaches life (winging it and thinking the kids will have no choice but to do so, in the arena), and he longs for freedom from constraints. He’s opportunistic (Se) not studied (Si).

Hello! First of all, thanks so much for this awesome blog. I wanted to ask if you have suggestions on how I can deepen my understanding of psychology—I am INFJ and I'm personally interested in using study the way you do to derive insights and interpretations because I have always been interested in the field. However, when I try to read textbooks or formal sources of information I find myself unable to apply the information or really see the 'point' of it; what should I approach as a beginner?

I’m not sure that I can give you an encouraging response because, in reality, the path of independent learning is a difficult one to travel, and sometimes it is only your own passion that sustains you, i.e., you must be intrinsically motivated.
