The Artistic Soul with a Free Spirit

Introduction

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

— Bob Dylan

ISFPs (Adventurers) are true artists—not necessarily in the conventional sense. For this type, life itself is a canvas for self-expression. From what they wear to how they spend their free time, they act in ways that vividly reflect who they are as unique individuals. Their curiosity and ability to find joy in everyday life can make ISFPs some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet.

Driven by a sense of fairness and open-mindedness, these types walk through life with an infectious spirit of encouragement. They love motivating those close to them to pursue their passions, and usually chase their own interests with the same unbridled enthusiasm. The only irony? Modest and humble ISFPs tend to see themselves as 'just doing their thing,' so they may not realize just how remarkable they truly are.
