How Others May See Them ISFP s are adaptable and flexible unless something that matters strongly to them is endangered; then they stop adapting. They care deeply about people but may show it through doing things for others more than through words. ISFP s tend to be quiet and unassuming, and their warmth, enthusiasm, and playful humor may not be apparent to people who don't know them well. They prefer to observe and support rather than organize situations; they have little wish to dominate.

Dealing with Change ISFP s have strong, through seldom expressed, inner values that guide their decisions and actions, and they will give very dedicated service to something they believe in. Their immediate external surroundings are very important to them, and they work to make those congruent with their inner values.
