What's a good overview difference between ISTP and ISFP? Personally, having some trouble

ISTP

Tend to seem pretty chilled, yet distant (Ti dom + Fe inf).
Need to figure out the logical sense of everything (Ti dom).
Even if they don’t interact with people that often, they are constantly engaged with the environment (Se aux + Fe inf).
More confident types tend to seem on top of the situation (Ti dom + Se aux).
They might get frozen by feelings, seeing themselves unable either to moderate or to express them (Fe inf).
Very willing to improve and perfect their talents and skills (Ni ter).
Impulsiveness based on inner logic (Se aux + Ti dom).
Private individuals (Fe inf).
Natural explorers (this does not necessarily imply outdoors, in the literal sense of the expression) (Se aux).
Often not bound by social rules or what is supposed to be ‘acceptable behaviour’ (Se aux + Ni ter).

Strong (sometimes pre-conceived) ideas of what is right and what is wrong (Fi dom).
Conclusions and decisions are determined by an inner and personal moral compass (Fi dom).
A desire to explore and experiment with the world first-hand (Se aux).
Impulsiveness based on inner morals (Se aux + Fi dom).
Special snowflake hidden hero traits from the classic fictional protagonist that starts seeming very ordinary but then shows remarkable abilities (Fi dom + Se aux + Ni ter).
Normally need to express their emotions in one way or the other (verbally, artistically, etc.) (Fi dom + Se aux + Ni ter).
Might be very creative individuals ( Se aux + Ni ter).
Might seem overly sensitive in specific situations (Fi dom + Te inf).
Being pointed out as incompetent is probably especially hurtful (Te inf + Fi dom).
Often find it difficult either to set plans into motion or to complete them (Te inf).
