How to Tell the Difference: INTJ vs ISFP
alifara asked: What is the difference between XNTJ and XSFP ? are ISFPs capable of being cold, highly-critical, and impulsive ?

He’s that guy who gives the party soul, but is also the most likely to forget to think before acting and end up burning down the house (without consuming alcohol).
