Protector Supporter: ISFJ

How Others May See Them ISFJ s are unassuming and quiet in their interactions, often putting the needs of others - especially family members - ahead of their own. They are uncomfortable with confrontation and will go a long way to accommodate others, through their respect for traditions and people's feelings can lead them to challenge actions they perceive as hurtful or insensitive. People see their values, their desire for structure and closure, their kindness. What others may not see is the wealth of rich, accurate internal Sensing impressions and memories.
