Some Words of an ISFP
-"We try to accept and support other people, and we will typically look for ways to be accommodating and open minded to others opinions"
-"Deciding right from wrong comes in form of a gut feeling... we just know it's right, using our intuition"
-"How do they get trains back on the tracks when they fall off? :o Or how do they replace an old model with a new one?"
-"My Easter Bucket is still full of chocolates... should I eat it or not? I already had a whole bar of dark chocolate! Must resist."
-"I'm feeling especially sensitive right now. A jerky INTP was mean to me >:("

They are also the type of people who often form special relationships with animals."
ISFP Struggles
-"Drawing may be more interesting and inviting than taking notes during a class."
-"Too focused on the details. This may cause being in a loud room to be impossible as they try to break down all the sounds. This may cause them to miss the big picture or see how things are adding up."
-"Under great stress, may feel out of control and fearful, dwelling on the "dark side" of things. This can cause an ISFP to make incredibly irrational decisions like an impulsive house buy, a sudden girlfriend, or too much interest in alcohol."
-"Nearly all of the problematic characteristics described above can be attributed in various degrees to the common ISFP problem of only taking in data that justifies their personal opinions. Look around this block of gaining information, even if it doesn't have an immediate reward for you."
