How could you tell if someone is ISFP ,or INFP in 'real' life?

Between aux Se:Ni ,and aux Ne:Si
,what could be a 'thin thread' that could separate their world entirely?

(from your own experience > theory!!)

A good friend of mine is INFP. We have a few differences (I think our Enneagram types are different, for starters. She's probably 4w5 or the reverse whereas I'm 6w7.) But I would say her Ne is very evident as opposed to my Se. She, for example, can spend hours reading giant books on ancient Egyptian civilizations and enjoys the mysticism aspect. I couldn't do that to save my life because even though I think that stuff is interesting, honestly, I don't care too much about things like that. I'm much more focused on getting to know people around me and figuring out how I can execute ideas I have into my surroundings/the real world. It's also definitely true that philosophy doesn't interest me much unless there are physical plans put in place to execute those philosophies.

This isn't to say that all ISFPs are like this. I can't speak for anyone else. But all I know is that compared to my INFP friends, I'm less likely to want to be in the house alone studying anything or playing video games. I'm happiest when I'm connecting to certain people outside of my world, finding my place out there.
