ISFP Work Style

The Creator Type

How ISFP personality types like to work

Every personality has a different way of working and communicating with others. When you’re working with ISFPs, it’s important to give them time alone. They may feel overwhelmed if they don’t have time to attend to their own needs. ISFPs can come across as very social, but it’s important to respect their space and autonomy. By learning how to communicate effectively with them in the workplace, you’re more likely to see ISFPs at their best.

Communicating with an ISFP personality type

Try to connect with ISFPs emotionally while respecting their deep need for personal space and independence. Allow the conversation to flow naturally instead of intentionally pushing it in any specific direction.

Meeting with an ISFP personality type

Meetings should be sparse and should focus on specific, concrete information. Don’t jump straight to the point of the conversation; take a minute to connect with them personally by sharing about yourself or asking them about themselves. Avoid overwhelming them with broad or vague suggestions.

Emailing an ISFP personality type

Include small-talk when reaching out to ISFPs. When discussing the purpose of the email, share your perspective clearly and with vivid detail. Be conscious of your tone and avoid being overly direct or harsh.

Giving feedback to an ISFP personality type

Be gentle when giving feedback to ISFPs. Try and focus on specific instances of a behavior or action, rather than just stating something broadly. To help reassure them, include compliments about what they’re doing right, as well.

Resolving conflict with an ISFP personality type

Listen to ISFPs and encourage them to share their feelings. They may withhold information if they feel like it’ll upset you, so be sure to remain patient and reassure them throughout the conversation. Help them feel heard and understood in times of conflict.

When you make an effort to communicate with ISFPs in a way that they like, you can build a better relationship, empathize with their perspective, and establish needed trust. Making simple adjustments to your communication style can mean a world of difference to understanding and working alongside each other.
