ISFP

If you like Myers-Briggs (and I do) you can use it to determine someone's personality type, which is helpful for all kinds of things, like clear communication and conflict resolution (or prevention).

Here are links the 16 different types followed by an example of someone I know.

ISTJ  The Duty Fulfillers - people from work, my friend Chris

ESTJ   The Guardians - my boss

ISFJ   The Nurturers - mom

ESFJ   The Caregivers - Andy's mom, my friend Laura

ISTP   The Mechanics - dad

ESTP   The Doers - Lindsey's husband Aaron

ESFP   The Performers - Natalie the athlete

ISFP   The Artists - Andy

ENTJ   The Executives - my friend Lindsey

INTJ   The Scientists - my old boss

ENTP   The Visionaries - maybe Van

INTP   The Thinkers - people from work

ENFJ   The Givers - Karen the nurse

ENFP   The Inspirers - me, maybe Van

INFP   The Idealists

Andy and I were both lucky, growing up with a 'nurturer' and a 'caregiver' for a mom. Everyone should have moms like that.

Andy is an ISFP.

I found another great description of Andy's type online.

Here's some excerpts from the link:
the 'Pros' list of an ISFP

"Pros:

- Make great lyricists

- Make for lovely furniture for any social gathering

- Make great friends

- The most easygoing type there is

- Artistic without being annoying

- Are not assholes

- The most idealistic Sensor

- Versatile hobbyists"

We thought that was funny.
And from the description

"Reasoning: ISFP’s are pretty awesome, let me just say that off the bat. They tend to be nice, friendly (esp. in comparison to most Introverts), creative, and have a quirky sense of humor. Although they aren’t the type to come off as idealistic, they appreciate and even admire the abstract, and enjoy literary comparisons and metaphors, much like their iNtuitive counterparts. More than any other type, ISFP’s are relaxed, calm, and non-aggressive. ISFP’s prefer to live in a “live and let live” environment. Unlike most Sensors, they tend to enjoy the obscure and counterculture, and often develop very fine and particular tastes in art, whether it be film, literature, or the visual and performing arts. Although naturally hands-on learners, well-developed ISFP’s tend to process their gained knowledge into bigger picture ideas. ISFP’s are dominantly Introverted Feelers, and have a special rose-tinted lens through which they view everything. Despite being conversationalists, ISFP’s can be very difficult to get to know well, and are often very secretive or timid about sharing the deeper side of themselves with others."

I should add they make great husbands!
