Dual (At least one or more preferences that fall in the middle):
AN ISFP/ESFP will be more outgoing and will have an easier time dealing with social functions since conversing with others will not be as intimidating. They will most likely reserve which functions they want to attend and who they want to be around. An ISFP/ESFP may engage in more risk taking activities because of the higher extroverted side. For example they may be more likely to go bungee jumping on the spur of the moment or decide to go out on two dates in a calendar week instead of one because they think it’s fun unlike the more traditional ISFP who would be more hesitant and exclusive.
The ISFP/ISFJ will be more flexible and less rigid with structure and organization. Most likely they will appear less stressed and will have an easier time going with the flow. They will most likely discern which activities they want to become involved with, and will not have strong adverse feelings about not being able to help out more. For example, if they are not able to participate in all holiday family events they will not self-hate.
