When I was in Türkiye, I saw many police officers who were ISFP women. I never saw them in the U.S. I saw only ISTJ women.
It’s interesting to analyze. ISFP women are, in general, the most good-looking women for men and are the ones who care the most about 💄💋 makeup, beauty, and looking sexy. So from the outside, they don’t show any masculine traits. However, they have Extroverted Sensing Se as their second function.
They are introverts. So their Second function doesn’t show in production mode until they decide to use it in production mode.
Extroverted Sensing Se is a cognitive function in personality types theory. It translates the cognitive aspect of Physical work, focusing on material things and showing beauty to the world. It’s also responsible for aggressive behavior and imposing actions/words on their environment.
So anyone with Se as a first or second cognitive function has by default an innate potential to be a fighter, to be aggressive and to use their body forcefully.
However, ISFP can make poor assumptions due to their Introverted intuition, Ni coupled with their dominant Function, Introverted feeling Fi. Ni is a tunnel vision and single-focus process. It can connect the dots and be creative. Nevertheless, in the third position, without a thinking function nearby, Ni will be used only with Feelings.
ISFP Cognitive functions model:
1st Introverted Feeling Fi
2nd Extroverted Sensing Se
3rd Introverted intuition Ni
4th Extroverted thinking Te
Extroverted Sensing Se is a perceiving function responsible for collecting facts and News. So if the information they collected from outside is right, they can use it to filter new incoming information that contradicts. They use these facts and news when they talk, gossip, or defend their opinions.
ISFP thinking is very low compared to other personality types. Their thinking function is the 4th and weakest one in their model. So, their capacity for logical evaluation is very limited.
Let’s see how this translates for a police officer.
✅means checked for ISFP.
A police officer needs to be:
quick ✅
agressive ✅
Highly observant ✅
Evaluate a mistake by observation ✅
So in general An ISFP can be suited as a police officer in the lowest rank in police department.
For ranks above a police officer, he/she needs to Evaluate a mistake by thinking ❌
So if a situation requires logical analysis, ISFP is not suited for it.

The articles in the footnotes present some aspects of police work regarding police officers and the use of Logic in law enforcement by The police.
On another register, ESTJ and ISTJ men are usually very attracted to ISFP women. So whenever they are seduced, maybe they will comply if they are the ones at fault as civilians. ISTJ and ESTJ are the majority in the police department by definition of police work and personality types theory. So ISFP women are expected to be welcomed thanks to their beauty and feminity.
However, to be respected, she needs to show her Extroverted sensing in an aggressive production mode. She must display her fighting skills, her ease with arms, and her keen sense of observation. Failing to do so will just hurt her self-worth, make her feel inferior and out of place. It’s preferable in my opinion to start training and be interested in this career before joining the official training of the police officers.
I wish the ISFP women good luck in their police officer careers and I hope they will try to be less judgmental and gossip less.
ISTJ women are their competitors. They have nany qualities suited for police work and they can reach higher ranks than ISFPs.
