Writing Prompts for ISFP’s

~ Brooke F. ~ 1 Comment

Hello everyone! I’m resuming my MBTI writing prompt posts yet again! And today I’m doing the ISFP MBTI personality. They’re also known as “The Adventurer” so I’m hoping to inject that curios and adventurous spirit into these prompts! Please enjoy!

★Space Train

All aboard the space train! The next stop could be anywhere in the universe. Humanity, at this point in time, has advanced to living on multiple planets. Travel between their homes has been restricted by regular space craft until a rather looney inventor creates a most ingenious piece of machinery- The Space Train. The Train can travel speedily across the stars, able to reach the furthest edges of the universe in minutes. The only issue is, the train seems to have a mind of its own, seemingly sentient. Or perhaps this was no accident….

★Charmed

You find yourself wondering your small town when you noticed a shop that you didn’t recognize. Curios, you enter to find it is a jewelry shop. But not your average one of course. This shop is called “Charm”, and is run by a rather curios lady with a tall pointy hat (or perhaps it really is a witch’s hat?). The Charms displayed everywhere look normal at first, but upon closer inspection you find them moving and alive.

★Pennies

There is a fountain in the middle of town with a statue of lady holding a pot and pouring water. You think it is a rather striking piece of work but pay it little to no heed. But little do you know, this fountain is very special. The statue (also known as the lady of the fountain) records the wishes of those who toss a penny in her waters and chooses a few to grant. This, of course, is unbeknownst to you- at least until she grants your wish.

★Chosen One

Your family drags you on a camping trip. This doesn’t surprise you as your Dad has been doing this for years, driving the family to his favorite camping spot between a mountain and a large lake, trying to encourage you to “connect more with nature”. You begrudgingly go, as per usual.

One day, you decide to go swimming in the lake beside your campsite to pass the time. You swim around a bit only to stub your toe on something hard. Annoyed, you fish it out of the water from the depths of the lake, only to find a rather large and magical looking sword. A lady with a cloak made of water suddenly appears before you, informing you that you hold the legendary blade known as Excalibur and you have been, in fact, chosen.

★Portraits

You are a worker at a rather high end art museum. You like your job well enough though sometimes you’re not a fan of the late hours. So its no surprise that you found yourself a little annoyed when you were informed that you were going to need to stay extra late one evening to hang up a new shipment of paintings.

So at about midnight, you find yourself opening up crates of artwork in the basement of the museum. Then you come to one box that is comprise entirely of portraits. You admire them-they are of marvelous workmanship. But, as you hold the canvas in your hands, you see the man in the paint blink and then turn his head towards you. Screaming, you drop him him back in the box only to hear a few annoyed complaints from the other portraits.

What on earth is going on???

Writing Prompts for INFP’s

~ Brooke F. ~ 2 Comments

And so the series of writing prompts continues! In this post I plan to tackle creating a few writing prompts based around the MBTI personality type of INFP. The personality type is known at the “mediator” and is known for being in touch with their feelings and being empathetic towards others as well as one of the more introverted personality types. This personality type has a very gentle, dreamy feel and as such I associate them with fairytales, van gogh paintings, violins/soft classical music, and dreamy nebulas in the night sky.

Armored Heart

A princess with a strong thirst for adventure and to prove herself worthy to ascend to the throne (unlike her irresponsible twin brother) stumbles across a strange suit of armor in an abandoned room in the basement of the castle. She puts it on only to find that this armor is enchanted to where she can change her appearance in the armor as well as accomplish incredible physical feats. What happens next is up to you…

Letters to the Ocean

A mountain deity is in love with the ocean deity. You are the appointed mail carrier as well the transcriber for both parties in this love story as both are bound to their physical forms of nature. Tell me of this love story?

Quilted Fate

You are an odd, single woman living along in an old, sleepy town during the late 1800’s as the new nation of America gives rise. You see many ranchers and settlers come and go but you remain in your small town house, working as a seamstress for a living… among other things. It is not entirely public knowledge but you are a seer who weaves the future into your quilts. And this becomes apparent to a visitor who waltzes into your shop one day….

The Cafae

You are secretly an immortal fairy who runs a café for overly tired college students. Things are going fine until you accidentally run into another of your kind while on the job.

The Chosen Two

There exists a fantasy world where “The Chosen One” is reincarnated time after time to vanquish the persistent evil that plagues the land. A sign of sorts appears to the pregnant woman to let her known she is carrying the future hero of the world and one such sign appears to a woman living in a remote village. The townspeople are excited to know that the next hero is going to be born in their village. But much confusion and concern arises when the woman gives birth to twins and they have no idea which is “The Chosen One”.

The Key to Everywhere

While rummaging through your attic, you find a box that you don’t recognize. Inside, you find only one old fashioned key. Being a fan of collecting old shiny things, you slip the key into your pocket. Fast forward a little, and you lock yourself out of your apartment. Flustered and annoyed you grab the key from your pocket as oppose to your regular house key and unlock your apartment door. When you realize what has happened, you are quite confused how a key found in your attic that is clearly old and designed for old doors could unlock your modern apartment.

Writing Prompts for ENTP’s

~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

This personality type was a lot of fun to study and think up prompts for as the typically ENTP is nearly the exact opposite of my natural personality (INFJ). But due to this, this has made reading up on the MBTI personality all the more fun and challenging as I try to shift my perspective of the world and relate to the personality type as I type up a few prompts. I associate this personality type with chessboards, magnifying glasses, and a sort of antique/steampunk-y aesthetic. Such associations will be reflected in the prompts below!

★Debatable

You’re a lonely college student who accidentally got locked into one of the old campus buildings. As you search for the exit, you find a secret room with two speaker stands. At one, you see another student. They explain to you that this was the old debate room which has been hidden away for unknown reasons. They come here to clear their head and “debate” things with themselves and they are delighted that you have found the secret room, as now they finally have someone to actually debate with.

★The Extra Hour

You’re a normal person with a normal life. You never saw yourself as unique really. Just a regular person among many. With the exception of one “gift”. Every night, after 12:00AM, the clock switches to 13:00AM for you and time freezes as you are gifted by the universe, an extra hour to do whatever you wish.

★Library Whispers

You open a library book to find a note with some sort of code. Bored and curios, you crack it. To find it leads you to the title of yet another book. Over time, you find yourself caught up in a library-wide puzzle that involves secret codes. passageways, and many other twisted secrets.

★Life Imitates Art

You get a new job at a museum filled to the brim with Greek style, stone and marble statues. But you notice something odd after only a few days of working there. But they can’t exactly walk around. But, after asking one a question, you find that they can indeed talk. What do you ask them?

★Light Keeper

You live out your days as the keeper of a light house, shining your beacon into the stormy seas to guide ships to the shore. But it seems your light has attracted something else besides a ship- a dragon.

★Corpus Delicti

You are a Homicide Detective. And you are very good at your job I might add. This might be in part due to the fact you are, unbeknownst to your team, are necromancer. But, after animating a human skull to come to life and ask the poor fellow who did him in, you are dismayed to find that the poor chap cannot remember.
