People of this type tend to be: kind, humble, and highly empathetic; thoughtful, faithful, and affectionate with those they know well; sensitive to criticism and easily hurt; quiet, soft-spoken, and gentle; adaptable, responsive, and curious; realistic and down to earth.
The most important thing to ISFPs is feeling peaceful and harmonious with the people and places that matter most to them.
Very true! I cannot bear it if I know someone is angry with me, dislikes me, finds me annoying, or even doesnt care I exist. I'm very sensitive to it. Makes me very self-conscious and awkward around people. Its really easy to wound me that way. I'm mortified at the thought of embarassment.

Parenting ISFPs
The Joys and Challenges of Raising ISFPs:
They are affectionate, caring, and loyal, but are also extremely sensitive and are easily hurt or rejected. While they are observant, quiet, and gentle, they tend not to see the implications of their actions and may become overwhelmed with large tasks.
What works with ISFPs:
hold and snuggle them a lot; speak to them with a soft and gentle voice; give your full attention when they speak to you. (My parents hugged me maybe once or twice in my self aware lifetime and NEVER snuggled me ever)
support their feelings and allow them to express themselves in their own time and style
model assertiveness and create an atmosphere where they are safe to practice these budding skills
Parents of ISFPs: they'll know you really love them when you...buy them clothing made of silk(?), velvet(?!?), velour(?!?!?!), or bring home a pet. (ahhh, now you're talking!)
How to Spot ISFPs:
- gentle, soft-spoken, and modest
- relaxed, easygoing, and accommodating
- unassuming (what nearly every teacher wrote in my report book) and not terribly assertive
- fun loving, caring, and sensitive
Tips for Communicating with ISFPs:
- Avoid confrontations! Be cooperative and gentle
- Stress the practical ways they can be of assistance to others
- Make projects fun - enjoy the moment with them
