They may take a conventional approach to style, wearing classic pieces or adapting a look similar to friends, relatives or role models. Often this is an almost unconscious way of saving time and being appropriate. ISFJs will employ their fine eye for detail to become aware of the colors, fabrics, and shapes that best suit their personal coloring and body shapes.</p> </div>Don't want to spend the money . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/myers-briggs-style-type/page/3#post-2086176 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 16:43:01 +0000 Suz 2086176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,</b> I could never forget your type (or your amazing style!)&nbsp;</p> <p>(Also, in fairness, it's really close to my own -- the type, I mean, not the amazing style ability! -- only difference is the introverted/ extraverted part.) &nbsp;;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/myers-briggs-style-type/page/3#post-2086139 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 15:45:03 +0000 Angie 2086139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>HOW did you remember I'm an <u>ENFJ</u>!

For example, “business attire” may change if clients are older, younger, in a creative or a conservative industry, entrepreneurs struggling to get a business off the ground, and so on. ENFJs are amazingly aware of the feelings of others and are often adept at sensing how people are reacting to them and what they are wearing. ENFJs are also keenly aware that their own mood can be affected by not feeling put together or by straying too far from their own sense of style.</i></p> <p>I AM GOBSMACKED AT HOW ACCURATE THIS IS.&nbsp;</p> <p>*mind blown*</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> I'm in good company.</p> <p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/myers-briggs-style-type/page/3#post-2086111 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 13:27:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2086111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>INTJ for me, every test, every time. </p> <p>I'm not analytical about my wardrobe -- no spreadsheets for me.

While I was away, this thread blew up! Glad y'all enjoyed it.

They often enjoy clothing, style and shopping, but don’t take it too seriously. ESFPs avoid too much structure and prefer a ‘go with the flow’ approach to their wardrobe, expanding their style choices to accommodate many options. Bored by too much of the same thing, they often change up their outfits by combining new pieces to create an entirely new ensemble, or by purchasing new items which freshen up their wardrobes"</p> <p>I'm practical. Definitely enjoy clothing, shopping and style, but I'm fairly serious about it. I'm not quite sure what she means by "go with the flow" here, but I definitely like my style choices to work hard for me. I get bored by the same thing...team silhouette here! I sometimes buy outfits, but I have great basics, so I'm able to take my wardrobe in a lot of different directions with the addition of a piece or two.&nbsp;</p> <p>So funny...my friends, husband and I were just discussing the Myers-Briggs on Friday. I think they were all ISFJ's...glad they didn't boot me out of the car, lol!!&nbsp;</p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/myers-briggs-style-type/page/2#post-2085954 Tue, 17 Dec 2019 23:14:11 +0000 Suz 2085954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal,</b> you are a <b>GREAT </b>connector on the forum.

Never done enneagram. I think I’m a 1. I’ve yelled at a boss, upbraided a client, and chosen jobs because of 1.

The advice tends to be to use the test as an introduction, but be open to the fact that you may decide you are actually a different type, as you get into the material (maybe take a look at your 2nd and 3rd place finishers in addition to your 1st, as a start). </p> <p>I started out thinking I was a 1, but eventually realized that I am a 6 (btw that process was useful in itself).</p> <p>That said - the Riso/Hudson test is widely considered the best:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.canadianenneagram.ca/rheti/">http://www.canadianenneagram.ca/rheti/</a>&nbsp;(this is a sampler; there is a paid version too which is more in depth but this one is a great starting point)</p> <p>and, my personal fave, the only one that got my type as the first choice is the EnneaApp quiz, which is an inexpensive, one time payment app which I found in the Google Play store (I think it was $2 or $3).</p> <p>Finally, this article might be helpful:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://thoughtcatalog.com/heidi-priebe/2015/11/if-youre-confused-about-your-enneagram-type-read-this/">https://thoughtcatalog.com/hei.....read-this/</a>&nbsp;... if one of these fears really triggers you, that may be your type!

Averse<br /> to conflict and tension, their style choices are always founded on what will<br /> work for the current situation, including the people they are spending time<br /> with.
