ISFP
Versatile supporter
ISFP personality types are sensitive, gentle and attentive to the needs of those around them. They enjoy providing practical help or service to others, as well as bringing people together and facilitating and encouraging their cooperation.
People with ISFP preferences tend to be less assertive than other types, and therefore may have less influence in the workplace. Their concern for others could prevent them from making tough decisions and they sometimes put off making decisions, in the hope that a better opportunity will come along.
ISFPs prize the freedom to follow their own path and they enjoy having their own space and setting their own timetables, which they will also give to their partners. They can be difficult to know well but they can care deeply about others which they show through actions rather than words.
