I know that ISFPs are generally very easy going. They go with the flow and don't feel the need to dominate others. Unless of course someone challenges something to do with their personal values that is very important to them.
What I want to know is what kind of values do ISFPs hold that we would stand up and fight for? What kind of situation could so push your buttons that you would let go of your easy-going ways, even temporarily?
I will give you a situation I encountered a few weeks ago. I was talking to my Grandfather about my future career plans and how I wanted to be an Electrician. He immediately tried to discourage me form my chosen career, citing that 'the men will look down on you' or 'they won't respect you'. It seemed to me that he was saying that I should give up because I AM A GIRL. He then suggested for me different, more gender-acceptable careers like nursing, or a dental hygienist or even a secretary. If he had been anyone besides my sweet, aged grandfather I would have ripped him a new one right there.
I think my family is pretty progressive. I have never one in my life felt there was something I couldn't do simply because I am female (except maybe be a sperm donor). So this kind (and any other kind) of bigotry is something that really gets me angry enough to perhaps create a little bit of disharmony.
