​ ISFP Personality

When you have the ISFP personality type, there are a number of things you want to understand about your personality. You want to know about the various traits and attributes so that you can use them to create a personal development plan that will help you to achieve your goals.  This is one of the #1 most comprehensive Psychology Books ever written, and it's free on Kindle (Get a copy, because it's like a Masters Degree wrapped-up into a single book).  However, I recommend that you upgrade to the Print edition, because that copy comes with images.

The person with the ISFP personality type is usually a caretaker and they like to live in the present. They use low-key enthusiasm and cheerfulness to enjoy their surroundings. They are often spontaneous and flexible, preferring to go with the flow than have a plan to work with. They are generally difficult to get to know well and they are usually unassuming and quiet. However, once someone does get to know them, the ISFP person is eager to share their lives with them and they are friendly and warm.
