General description of the ISFP

- Most misunderstood of all. I don't know
- Tendency not to express themselves directly, but through action.Yeah
- Does not plan and prepare. I'm pretty off and on.
- Special kind of intelligence.
ISFP has a special kind of intelligence, under the definition that intelligence means doing things well under
varying circumstances. This particular category of intelligence might be called “artisan concretization”. This
artisan concretization somehow keeps the ISFP more closely in touch with the very real. While the ISTP is
attuned to the tool, so to speak, the ISFP is attuned to color, line, texture, shading — touch, motion, seeing, and
hearing in harmony. This is from from hereIt's a pdf.
Yes but I'm a terrible singer.
- Kindest of all the types.I can be a dick.But people say I'm nice I suppose.
- Sometimes seen by others as reserved and private.Yes
Instinctive longing for the natural, the pastoral, the bucolic.Yes
- Easily bored, wanting excitement, risk, chance and tests of luck.Yes
- Spender rather than a saver.Yes,Yes.

- Negotiates with ease.No
- As negotiator, goes into a situation with the intent of getting warring factions to compromise. Yes I can see both sides.
- Troubleshooting Very much so
- Very low need to lead and control others.
- Lives harmoniously. Yeah. Unless I am being controlled.
- Encourages all life to fulfill its potential. Yep
- Difficult for ISFPs to understand the need of some people to impose limits or structure on others. What's up with that?

- Blends in. Yes and No. I am a reserved show off.
- Can easily be overlooked or overpowered . Not really. Though some have thought that
- Creative, artsy. Yes more creative than artsy.
- Often oblivious to the "standard" way. Sometimes.
- Little need to lead or influence. Yes
- Little interest in the conceptual and abstract and is most responsive to the pragmatic. Very true
