ISFP

The Adventurer

The Compassionate Artisan

Overview

ISFPs have some deeply held values that, even though their life may be somewhat unstructured, direct the things that they do and say. They probably take a caring and sensitive approach to others, more so than may be apparent to others because they show their feelings in acts of kindness rather than in direct statements. They probably have a strong sense of the type of lifestyle they enjoy, which they want to maintain.
