- Shy, peaceful, kind, sensitive, affectionate, and modest in behavior.
- Prefer to avoid arguments and not impose opinions or values on others.

- Do not be impatient, be content with the status quo, and do not intend to destroy the status quo with excessive eagerness or effort, and are not result-oriented.

Characteristics:
Friendly and humble, emotionally invested; caring about acquaintances and treating them sincerely; sensitive to criticism and easily hurt; gentle and quiet, elegant in conversation; very realistic, but approachable; calm, friendly, sensitive and kind. Appreciate what is happening in the present and around them. I like to have my own space and be able to do things in my own time. Stay true to your values and the people you value. I don’t like arguments and conflicts, and I won’t force others to accept my opinions or values.
ISFP people are peaceful and sensitive, and they maintain many strong personal ideals and values. They express their deep emotions more through actions than through words.
ISFP people are humble and reserved, but in fact they are people with great friendship and enthusiasm, but they do not often show this other side of themselves except with people they know and trust. Because ISFP people do not like to express themselves directly, they are often misunderstood.
ISFP people are patient, flexible, get along easily with others, and rarely dominate or control others. They are objective and accept the actions of others in a rather matter-of-fact way. They are good at observing the people and things around them, but do not seek to discover motives and meanings.
Features:
Because ISFPs live entirely in the present, they tend not to prepare or plan more than necessary, and they are good short-term planners. Because they are fully engaged in the present and enjoy enjoying current experiences rather than continuing to sprint toward the next goal, they feel relaxed about getting things done.
They are interested in what they know and feel directly from experience, often have artistic talent and aesthetic sense, and strive to create a beautiful and secluded environment for themselves.
Without wanting to be leaders, ISFPs are often loyal followers and group members. Because they use their personal values to judge everything in life, they like people who take the time to get to know them and understand their inner loyalty. They need the most basic trust and understanding, need harmonious interpersonal relationships in life, and are very sensitive to conflicts and disagreements.
For ISFP people, the most important thing is to be able to live in harmony with the people around them and develop in harmony with the surrounding environment. ISFPs are the first to appreciate the wonders of all kinds. Many people can’t wait to follow fashion, experience the avant-garde, follow trends, and some even create trends.
ISFPs live life with the present in mind. They crave freedom and are loose when not restrained. Those ISFPs who have been suppressing this emotion will feel very depressed inside, and may eventually vent it out violently.
Upon first meeting, ISFPs can be very likeable and ingratiating, making compliments that may or may not be true. But the next time we meet, the same person may seem very cold. Some ISFP men are very competitive, especially in sports or pool, and it may be difficult for them to lose a round. This competitive nature, which is also found in other SP types, makes them consider themselves lucky and take risks.
ISFP people are often confused like INFP people, but INFP people are more fantasy-savvy than ISFP people, and they have more pursuits in poetry, prose, and philosophy; while ISFP people are generally unwilling to write or even talk about these aspects. And, they want to live a real life.

Potential flaws:
Too trusting of others and easily fooled; not criticizing others even when necessary, but only blaming oneself excessively; failing to see what is behind the reality and assessing the situation in an all-round way; too easily hurt and withdrawn.
Suitable work environment:
Colleagues who need to be cooperative and actively work quietly; take care of personal privacy; polite colleagues; people-oriented.
Blind Spot:
Their highly sensitive nature makes ISFPs clearly aware of the needs of others, and they sometimes work too hard to meet those needs, to the point of neglecting themselves in the process. They must care more about themselves than others.
Because they are focused entirely on their experiences in the present, they often fail to see beyond, thereby losing the broader perspective. Sometimes they have difficulty understanding a more complex environmental matter. Because they usually don’t look for or observe possibilities that don’t exist at the moment, they tend not to prepare in advance and have difficulty organizing their time and resources. They should be working hard to restrain their impulses so they can complete tasks and enjoy some quiet time or participate in an activity they enjoy.
ISFP people often do personal introspection and then become very angry and disappointed, so they are easily influenced by others. Because they always recognize people and things as they appear, but never anticipate bad motives or infer other content from them, people often think that they are too trusting of others and easily deceived. They must be more attentive to their own needs and further consider the implications of other people’s actions. Being more skeptical and objective in their own analysis will make their judgment better.
Suitable career fields:
Crafts department: fashion designers, carpenters, jewelers, gardeners, rug weavers, potters, painters, dancers, content/background designers, chefs.
The main attraction of these professions for ISFPs is that they provide the opportunity to use their hands to create an attractive appearance, which is more useful in actual work. They like to use their five senses to engage in practical work. Those careers provide ISFPs with flexible hours and the opportunity to arrange their work freely. Most ISFPs like to be independent and not have to follow management rules.

ISFPs often find satisfaction in the health care industry, especially jobs that allow them to work directly with users and patients. They enjoy the hands-on nature of much therapy work—helping others physically and emotionally during and after a crisis. They are often observant, responsive to small changes, and enjoy solving short-term problems. For ISFPs, the most important ingredient in gaining satisfaction from these and any other careers is seeing or experiencing feedback on their achievements and realizing the importance of their work.
Technical jobs: Investigators, computer operators, foresters, botanists, geologists, technicians, marine biologists.
ISFP people like practical work and dislike theoretical work. They tend to like to use practical and active techniques. The opportunity to work outdoors is especially popular for ISFPs. They show great interest in the changes and types of work.

Many ISFPs find satisfying jobs in the service sector. Let them do the most rewarding work that meets the needs of people or animals. They prefer a work environment that shares their values, fosters and encourages interpersonal harmony and cooperation, and recognizes their achievements. Many ISFPs like to be in specific subjective situations, often with children, where they have the opportunity to express their spontaneity and have fun.
Business: Bookkeepers, judicial clerks, typists, clerk supervisors, managers, paralegals.
Staff work, if it is in a suitable environment, can also provide satisfaction to ISFP people. The key factor is the ability to apply their practical skills in a positive and supportive atmosphere. ISFPs work best when working as part of a group or in a stable environment that respects individual privacy and growth. They prefer career sectors that allow them to create and maintain an enjoyable, personalized work environment.
Development proposals:
Learn to assert yourself; keep your feet on the ground and consider issues in a broader context; and don’t take things too personally. You need to develop ways of questioning and analyzing information rather than just accepting it; you need to learn to give negative feedback when others are complacent; you need to develop a more future-oriented outlook; you need to be more assertive and direct with others.
about love:
You are a natural fragrance, good at comforting others, bringing happiness to others, and teaching your other half how to appreciate nature and all life. But while bringing joy to others, you can easily feel sad at the same time.
For you, love is an experience of ’either you have the whole world, or you have nothing.’ Since you tend to close yourself in your little world and experience love with a persistent heart, you may also be hurt by love.
In order to please your lover and maintain the relationship, you may make changes in your life, such as moving, changing jobs, or saying goodbye to your old friends.
If your lover happens to be the unresponsive and demanding type of person, you may be blamed and ordered by him because you will do anything for love.
As an artist, dedication and flexibility are the two most important qualities you bring to a relationship. Your sincere and almost innocent expression of love will make the right lover (and yourself) very happy.
But make sure you choose a compatible partner, because once you fall in love, you’re on an almost unstoppable roller coaster.
