how do you tell these types apart? ISFPs can look NF as hell sometimes
- graceful
- creative
- intelligent (not to say sensors are stupid, but Ns more often than not are pretty intelligent)
- independent
- independent thinking
- can give off a mysterious, NF-esque vibe
- can have strong Ni

a few people I can't INFP from ISFP are
1) Johnny Depp
2) Cate Blanchett
3) Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho)
4) Enya (although I think N)
5) Anakin Skywalker
and a bunch more I'm too tired to remember at this point in time

ISFPs tend to 'pop' a bit more than INFP's, in my experience. They're also likely to be 'down' for stuff whereas the INFP might not.

INFPs are a bit more cerebral and dormant. Not smarter but just up there. Less physical and impulsive/reactive. Seems like they would think things through more often than not. Rather than just act.

naw mean?

I think INFP's may read more than ISFP's? And also seem to have more of a 'hidden deepness ;) May also be more sensitive to criticism..less able to just let it slide? Also, a kind of emotional intensity to them if you understand what I mean?

^This seems pretty good. I was reading about S-types recently...though I was reading ISTP and haven't encountered an ISFP irl that I know of. I'm not much of a joiner; though that's not always the case. But generally, I do not want to go ride the go carts over at the fair; instead I may like to relax and watch a movie or read.
