Conflict

Some people seek harmony, some see conflict as simply robust discussions, some people are emotional, some more factual.

Initial response to conflict situations

James Hetfield ISTPs love difficult situations and they will see conflict as something, like everything else, to be fixed then move on. They do not seek conflict but are impervious to their environment so it goes with the territory.
