As an ESFJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.
ESFJs are people persons - they love people. They are warmly interested in others. They use their Sensing and Judging characteristics to gather specific, detailed information about others, and turn this information into supportive judgments. They want to like people, and have a special skill at bringing out the best in others. They are extremely good at reading others, and understanding their point of view. The ESFJ's strong desire to be liked and for everything to be pleasant makes them highly supportive of others. People like to be around

They value security and stability, and have a strong focus on the details of life. They see before others do what needs to be done, and do whatever it takes to make sure that it gets done. They enjoy these types of tasks, and are extremely good at them.
ESFJs are warm and energetic. They need approval from others to feel good about themselves. They are hurt by indifference and don't understand unkindness. They are very giving people, who get a lot of their personal satisfaction from the happiness of others. They want to be appreciated for who they are, and what they give. They're very sensitive to others, and freely give practical care. ESFJs are such caring individuals, that they sometimes have a hard time seeing or accepting a difficult truth about someone they care about.
With Extraverted Feeling dominating their personality, ESFJs are focused on reading other people. They have a strong need to be liked, and to be in control. They are extremely good at reading others, and often change their own manner to be more pleasing to whoever they're with at the
ENFJs have an immense heart for others, almost to a fault. ENFJ’s easily reflect on and over-analyze their own feelings, so if they get too caught up in another person’s conflict, they immediately blame the distress on themselves and try to fix everything. True to my personality type, I genuinely care about motivating people to live their best lives full of happiness. So, my biggest strength is my selflessness. This is true to an ENFJ personality type that constantly wants to bring people together and make a better world. The most relatable fact I found about ENFJ’s is the weakness of ENFJ’s being too sensitive. I take everything said to me to heart and am always worried if I have met people’s expectations of me. Similarly, ENFJs take too much to heart and constantly worry if they are doing enough. Because of this anxiety, ENFJs also have a fluctuating self-esteem and an indecisive nature. My self-esteem is almost entirely based on how other people are treating me. And every decision is a massive ordeal because I can’t stop thinking about everyone involved and what the want to happen. I want everyone to get his or her way; I hate the feeling of dissatisfying someone. Also true to me, I avoid conflict like the plague. I always want to serve the role of peacekeeper in a conflict. I also love to volunteer and give back, also true to ENFJ. Most everything I found on ENFJ fit me pretty well.
An ENFJ’s are full of charisma and have the ability to manipulate others. I am able to believe in my dreams and others and enjoying helping others. ENFJ’s are able to see the bigger picture and able to juggle numerous responsibilities. ENFJ’s are organized and basic, and often neglect their feeling for the needs of others. In regards to team work ENFJ’s believe cooperation is the best way to get things done. They are teachers often motivating others to take part of educational engagement. They usually take charge and lead a team and always see the best in people. I read the personality test to my spouse. He was impressed. Everything I mention he agreed I am 100% as it says I am. He even provided an example of past story he witness while taking
It is said that as an INFJ, I do not like to go by the rules, and would rather “be my own boss.” My type prefers a flat-hierarchy when relating to other team members, which means no one is above or below anyone else. As an INFJ, I am most likely to take actions based on my convictions, and if these come under fire, whether the opposition is justified or not, my morale is vulnerable to being seriously hurt. Due to the idealistic nature of INFJs we are prone to becoming bitter if we feel a conflict. (16Personalities, n.d.)
Taking various personality tests and asking family members to define my personality, I would have to agree with what each one had to say. First, I took the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI claims I am an ESFJ. ESFJ’s are the ones who make sure everyone is happy and cared for. They support their friends and family. Also, they are very sociable and conflict avoidant. ESFJ’s has a servant heart and are very selfless. ESFJ’s are ones who try their best to do the right thing. ESFJ’s are supportive and outgoing. ESFJ is absolutely what my personality is. My strengths are that I am loyal, good at connecting with others, I am sensitive, I have a strong sense of duty, and have strong practical skills. I am very loyal, because anyone can come to me and tell me anything and I will not tell others. I have a strong sense of duty because I love to serve others and give back to the community, because I am very blessed. There are a lot of traits that make me great at connecting with others. I am very sociable,
ESFJs are people persons - they love people. They are warmly interested in others. They use their Sensing and Judging characteristics to gather specific, detailed information about others, and turn this information into supportive judgments.

The results of these tests told me a lot about myself. I found that I am an ESFJ: Extrovert, Sensor, Feeler, and Judger. I like to work with people and tangible things, and try to understand others, and make decisions and complete my responsibilities. My top intelligences are musical and linguistic, which means I have a good memory for words, music, and patterns.
After finalizing my personal assessment survey, my four-letter code came to be ENFJ. According to the handout, ENFJ is associated with teacher type personality. The teacher tends to be sociable, sympathetic and handle situations with others feeling in mind. They also are great organizers and tuned into the needs of others. A treat that goes hand in hand with the teacher is the idealists. The idealists are described as humane, intuitive and insightful. What I got from reading The Four Personality Temperaments ~ David Keirsey’s work, the idealist wants to live… well the ideal lifestyle. They are proud of their accomplishments and hunger for a deeper meaning in life all while having a self-confidence that allows them to achieve their goal in life. Since idealists strive to have a deeper meaning in life, they want others to find it as well. They aim to teach their loved ones to stick with their morals and stick true to who they are. I’d like to think that I acquire these traits, however I know that I fall short in certain areas. For example, I am not much of a leader; big crowds scare me, and my self-confidence could use some work. Like Hannah Montana said, “Nobody’s perfect.”
ISFJ are empathize to be protectors. Words that describe an ISFJ is self-sufficient, obedient and spectator“ Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility” (“Keirsey.com's - Temperament and Your Career.”). ISFJ can have a lot of negative downsides to their personality. Words that describe the negative side of this personality is “timid”,“easily offended” and “prone to cry”(“ISFJ - Jung Type Descriptions.”). I determine for the most part these personality type does match me except for some negative parts. In all honesty, I do not get offended, nor do I cry a lot. But I can say that I correspond to keep private things to
ENFJs are described as warm, compassionate, and supportive, as well as loyal and trustworthy. These are all words that I would describe myself as, my most important characteristic being my loyalty in friendship. My type description also proclaims that I am “highly attuned to others; their empathy enables [me] to quickly understand emotional needs, motivations, and concerns.” No other description of me could be truer. My whole life, I have been quickly able to understand others, and even know that they are upset before they tell me so. Another handout describes ENFJs as having an intense caring about people.
Based on the MBTI online test, I am the type of ENFJ, which I think it really matches my personality (See Figure 1). ENFJ stands for Extravert, iNtuitive, Feeling, and Judging. ENFJ is known as “givers” because they have a highly sensitive ability to help others and picking up on another person’s feeling. For example, when there is a problem, ENFJs will try to find the best solution that works for everyone. ENFJs have an excellent communications skills and personable aura that people want to be around. They also find it natural and easy to communicate with complete strangers. ENFJs are action-oriented, they want to make sure that everything is planned and organized, and will be the one who getting things done. ENFJs are not afraid to
The label of ESFJ is one that I am accepting. There are many positive attributes and as there are negatives. An ESFJ can develop negatively and can be prone to being quite insecure. They might also focus all of their attention on pleasing others; this can include a very controlling or overly sensitive nature.
My ENFJ personality described as an extroverted person in life. For instance, I enjoy getting involved in different activities and events which bring out my energetic nature (16personalities, 2016). My preference is being around people and interacting with them on a personal level as much as possible, and I
To begin, I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment. This assessment has been a reliable source for documenting personality and focuses on four dimensions of personality: extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving (Ledlow & Coppola, 2014). Based on my results, I would be categorized as ESFJ (extraversion, sensing, feeling, judging) personality type. ESFJs focus on the outside world and assess their experiences subjectively. They largely base their judgments on their belief system and on the effects of actions on people. ESFJs are literal and concrete, trusting the specific, factual information gathered through their physiological senses. They are often skilled at bringing out the best in people, and they want to understand other points of view. They are serious about their responsibilities, seeing what needs to be done and then doing it. Generally proficient at detailed tasks, they enjoy doing little things that make life easier for others. ESFJs seek structured, controlled environments, and tend to be good at creating a sense of order. They value the rule of law and expect
The E (Extravert) indicates that this type of individuals is focus on the outer world more than their individual world. This type of character expresses opinions without difficulty; however, they are concerned about how those opinions will affect other people. The extraverts center on reading other people 's feelings. They have a strong need to be liked and to be in control this could take them to modify their own manners to please the group (Inc., 2016).
Through this course, I learned that my personality assessment of ENFJ fit me quite well. It described me as an extrovert with intuition, feeling, and judgment. They are described as people with tremendous charisma who believe in their dreams, and see themselves as
