Your discriptions reminds me of this:
ISFP - soft on the outside, tough on the inside
ISTP - tough on the outside, soft on the inside
^ That right there... makes people underestimate the ISFP sometimes, I think. I especially do not like it if someone sees my friendliness as being dependent/needy/weak in some way. I end up showing people that..I'm more independent than they could ever be. Mercilessly, I might add. It sucks, but whatever. ..Oh look, cake! Mmmmmm
This is all interesting but, for now, I'm sticking with isxp. Right now, I'm thinking isfp but, tomorrow, it will probably be istp.
Decisive is not part of my personality, so I guess that "J" isn't an option for me.

Anyhow, do you save the day like an ISTP would and fill their tank up right there? Or do you drive them to nearest gas station... end up making friends on that short ride.. actually talk to them a bit.. charm them.. and end up getting their numbers?
Lets test where your ISTP/ISFP breaking point is.
It's 3:00 AM... freezing.. you're on the highway... You suddenly pass a truck stalled on the side of the road.. two girls are outside, stranded.. you don't really want to bother, but... ugh.. damnit, OK.. so you turn around. OR DID YOU turn around at all? Maybe your F is extremely weak, that you're a jerk, and you didn't care.
Lets say it's not weak though and you turned around. For what reason then? What was dominant in your mind? How were you expressing concern? Were you thinking in terms of fixing their truck, or did you simply feel sorry for them.. and figured just being there might help?
Anyways, so you're there.. what do you ask them first? Do you ask about the car first, and want to pop open the hood.. Or do you just stand and meander for a sec, introduce yourself... get their names.. maybe comment on how freaking cold it is as a way of indicating sympathy? Also, you notice that one of them is hot, and has her titties popping out of her jacket.. Are you.. still thinking about the car?
errr.. wait, tits are beside the point. i'm confusing matters.
Further, it turns out they just ran out of gas. No biggie if you're an ISTP. You have a spare tank in the trunk, right? RIGHT? Along with tools and shit. The ISFP OTOH stockpiles trash and CD's in his car. Maybe he has some tools? He doesn't know, and it doesn't register with him to check.

I have a extra gas container in my trunk.

Most importantly, they called you an angel, and you ended up leaving with their numbers.
Just to add, the sad part about the ISFP's story is that he might not even call those numbers after the girls hand them out.
@ Walking Tourist: You're definiatly ISFP by KDude's assessment.
Yeah, the fact that he's walking at 3AM in the cold, in this day and age, would probably say a lot whether he's ISTP or not Not any kind of vehicle? Just feet? No scooter, snowmobile, giant mecha robot, ATV, motorcycle... not even a BMX? Walking Tourist is more than likely not ISTP then.
