Wooah, yeeeeahh maannn, that's riight!
. It's not a general rule. Just a common trend I noticed.

For some reason this attitude is oddly attractive to me. I know...I'm hopeless.
So you're hippie friendly? Good to know.
Heh. Most of my friends are ENxPs (It must be the rad clothing ). So I guess that's a yes. As long as they don't smell.
The INFP will probably come across as either more esoteric or analytical while the ISFP will come across as either being more "down to earth" or visably artsy.
This this this. Also, INFPs tend to talk more about "weird"/strange/random what have you, things, whereas the ISFP is more practical. I mean sure, ISFP talk about "weird" things, but usually when the "weird" or "strange" or "random" whatever, thing is brought up, then they go with the flow.
Also, ISFP tend to have a more bubbly type of vibe, whereas INFP have either a melancholy or a more subdued vibe, most of the times.
These are all my experiences btw, take with grain of salt please.
From youtube, this is pretty classic INFP from the ones I've known. The facial expressions after 0:43 are signature.
YouTube - Personality Tests and INFP-ness
There are almost no ISFP videos on youtube though .
infps seem less socially adapted than isfps. isfps blend in and tend to be more charming. infp occasionally say something uncomfortably weird.
How would you tell the difference between these two?
Then I am INFP then!
Damn. I really don't want to be an uncool nerd...
I don't know if this will be helpful, but I have a first hand experience on this. I was INFP as a child. My ESTJ mother's persistent influence turned me into an INFJ by the time I was a teenager, but today, I would think it's fair to say I'm in between J and P, trying to make the best of each preference.
When I was 9 (and still pretty INFP), my ISTJ brother married an ISFP. She is a virtuose pianist and became my new piano teacher. I was all in awe about her, full of respect and admiration. She was very kind to me and took me places sometimes (bike rides, movies, shopping). I was surprised at how well we communicated and understood things in a similar way. We got along quite well musically speaking, both having an intuitive way about hearing and remembering music, creating back vocals and so on. We shared the same odd, dreamy and imaginative childhood experiences. We loved the same books.
Very often, when I felt the need to share something personal and meaningful that my ESTJ mother would never understand (or care to understand) I would go to her, and she was pretty receptive.
My sister-in-law cries all the times when she watches a movie. It rarely happens to me (the movie has to touch me very deeply) but it happened once when I saw a tv-movie about Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc is an INFP archetype). I shared my feelings with her about it (she had watched it as well) and admitted she was quite indifferent to it. Joan's spiritual passion meant nothing to her. That is one of the events that made me understand our difference.
Also, I was often surprised at how adventurous she was, always trying new things, while I prefered to trust the things I loved and knew well. I noticed how, even as a good Christian, she did things that seemed borderline immoral/illegal to me, without seeing anything wrong in it.

Doesn't seem ENFP. Holding a dreadlock and passionately saying, "this is my identity" rules out almost all Fi types. Or at least I know NFPs wouldn't be likely to do it.
