ESFP Introduction

People with the ESFP MBTI type act in a friendly and supportive manner. They frequently follow the flow of events. They like gatherings and are often the focus of attention.

I. What Does ESFP Stand For?

ESFP stands for Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, and Perception and is one of 16 personality types studied from the MBTI test (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). The MBTI personality assessment developed by Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine Cook Briggs, and David Keirsey from the work of psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, the types of psychology based on theories of cognitive functions. Keirsey labeled ESFP group The Performer/ The Entertainer because they have a bright and energetic nature, and ESFP is one of the four personality types of The Artisan.

II. Personality Traits of The ESFP Group

ESFPs are always lively, warm, witty, seductive, and attract those around them to make them happy. ESFPs live in the moment of the present and want to make the most of what life offers. 

The most important traits shared by ESFPs are the desire for excitement, stimulation, and novelty. People with this personality type seek new challenges, have fun in society with many different people, and are always focused on the present.

ESFPs love to communicate with others and they can spend hours talking on a variety of topics. This personality tends to be very common in this type of extrovert.

ESFP people are often very realistic even though they hate stereotypes and repetitive actions. ESFP likes to go with the flow and believe in their ability to improvise in whatever situation comes to them. They learn best with practical experience rather than studying in books, they feel uncomfortable with the theory.

ESFPs like to be at the center of attention, and they also like the simplest things – their cheerfulness and impulsive nature are often very appealing to others. 

ESFPs also can do their best to ignore potential conflicts instead of confronting them. They will likely become very practical, but not when it comes to repetitive or analytical tasks. They would rather rely on their luck or ask others for help than spend more time trying to understand a complex theory.

As children, ESFPs are warm, enthusiastic, and nimble who have only one greatest desire to make everyone happy and smile. They thrive on social interaction and enjoy the excitement of new adventures and experiences. They are in harmony with the world around them and live their lives to the fullest, paying attention to every scene, sound, and detail with amazing precision. Their awareness of the world makes them practice multitasking skills (being able to do many different things at the same time) and mindful of the things that others can hardly say (non-verbal cues). They are often quick to respond to those nonverbal cues, accompanied by a certain charm and wit to receive support in their favor.

III. The Cognitive Functions of The ESFP Group

Dominant: Extraverted Sensing

ESFPs prefer to focus on the present rather than thinking about the distant future. They also favor learning about specific facts rather than theoretical ideas. As a result, they often concentrate on open options rather than spend more time planning and organizing.

They trust their instincts and the ability to provide solutions to problems. They don't like structure, order, and plans. Instead, they act spontaneously and instinctively.

Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling

ESFPs place an emphasis on individual emotions and inner values rather than logic and facts when making decisions, which also explains why they easily empathize with others and put themselves in other people's shoes.

Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking

This function focuses on enforcing order toward the outside world, productivity, logic, and results. ESFPs may not always feel comfortable sharing their judgments, especially if they feel it will disrupt team harmony. This is not the strength of ESFPs as it is the weaker aspect of their personality.

Inferior: Introverted Intuition

This function can help ESFPs detect patterns and make connections in the things they have observed though it is the least prominent aspect of personality. ESFPs are not particularly adept at using logic to sort through abstract concepts, but this sense of consciousness can sometimes lead to insights and visions of the inner self or the world outside.

IV. ESFP Values and Motivations

1. ESFP values

ESFPs appreciate a spontaneous life without having to plan, want to have fun, and enjoy activities and hobbies with friends without interfering with rules and conventions. Being generous, optimistic, and persuasive, they are great personal interactors.

ESFP people often live in a world of opportunities and enjoyment. They are immersed in a never-ending performance and trying to cheer others up. 

ESFPs recognize the value and quality of the things around them, but by their nature, they are not good at planning, which can make them beyond their control. ESFPs are not long-term-oriented, so they focus on short-term plans and may fall into existing traps, such as overspending on credit cards.

Most ESFPs value fashion and aesthetics, from the look and the clothes they are wearing to the way they decorate their home. Since they love to get attention, just as they are the focus of everyone's attention, ESFPs know what their charms are. ESFPs don't want to change their surroundings to reflect their style. They are quite curious and know to explore the designs and create new styles easily.

2. ESFP Motivations

ESFPs tend to thrive when they can connect with others on a deeper level and observe people's needs. ESFPs enjoy getting to know those around them as natural and spontaneous collaborators. What's important is that they can work in positions that allow them to build close relationships with colleagues.

Parties, events, concerts, or gatherings tend to excite and energize ESFPs. They perform exceptionally well in situations that allow them to learn by interacting or by practicing with others. Besides, they can find opportunities that involve many people, even in the workplace.

ESFPs love to perform and please others, so the opportunities to express themselves creatively and to present a great show may motivate them. Becoming an actor or public character is also a suitable suggestion for them.

V. Strengths and Weaknesses of ESFPs

1. ESFP Strengths

ESFPs are especially good at observing, feeling, helping, and mobilizing to persuade people to solve problems in very real ways together. 

ESFPs are incredibly talented when they make others feel good and happy, and they love it very much. The worldly and unique wittiness of the ESFP is often a perfect symbol of their sense of humor.

ESFPs have a highly developed aesthetic sense and this is one of their strongest personality traits. This is the type of people who will enjoy decorating their surroundings and realize quality values in many other things.

People with this kind of personality never run out of ideas, and their curiosity is unlimited - they will always be one of the first to try something new and exciting.

They are observant, able to identify, and respond to the emotional state of others. Long-term planning and thinking are often their weakest personality traits, they are poor strategists and planners, but they have a very good ability to provide practical advice and spiritual support.

2. ESFP Weaknesses

One of the weaknesses of ESFPs is their spontaneity, which can lead to superficiality and carelessness, and they are also quickly satisfied with work results that do not fall within their obligations and responsibilities.

When being under extreme stress, ESFPs will immerse themselves in negative thoughts and visualize bad situations. They are optimists living in a world of feasible things, negative images that do not satisfy them at all. To defeat these thoughts, they often make simple and holistic statements to solve the problem. These simplified explanations may or may not be relevant to the nature of the problem, but they satisfy ESFPs by allowing them to overcome it.

If ESFPs have not developed their intuition, they tend to avoid situations that include lots of theoretical inferences or complex and ambiguous ones. For this reason, ESFPs often face difficulties in schools.

ESTPs tend to ignore their health, and even treat their bodies poorly.

During the early stage of personality development, ESFPs can rely too heavily on their Extraverted Sensing without the healthy support of other cognitive functions. As a result, they are being over-indulged in food, experiences, or other pleasures. They tend to act quickly without thinking of the long-term harms of their action. Until the Introverted Feeling function begins to form, it may appear weak and make them seem easy to judge without looking closely at the core of the issue. They may also forget to consider the values of others as they see how they respond to events.

One more disadvantage of ESFPs is that they live their lives to the fullest, so they sometimes do not realize the direction of their relationships or easily lose their goals.

VI. Personal Relationships of ESFPs

1. Romantic relationship

For people with the ESFP personality type, relationships are not about building a foundation for the future or planning a life slowly but are exciting and unpredictable things with gusto. They exceedingly enjoy physical intimacy and appear to be affectionate, knowledgeable, and open-minded lovers who appreciate sharing their joy with willing and reciprocal partners.

Conversations with ESFP partners should only be about funny, sometimes quirky topics rather than science, politics, or world events. They are also not too fond of long-term plans and commitments, things that make them feel bewildered and burdened.

ESTPs respond poorly to outside criticism, especially when they come from their partners, due to their emotional and sensitive nature in relationships. Fixing this problem can be challenging during the dating phase. For reverse situations that require reasonable and necessary criticism, ESFPs often just want to hear what they want to hear and want those that share their interests and common things to reinforce their immature behavior.

All of these biases can actually come back to haunt people with ESFP personality type later on. They tend to avoid promises and commitments and jump from partner to partner leading to the destruction of essential long-term goals like planning retirement or building a family. ESFPs should remember that relationships really take time and effort to form consciously.

ESFPs are most often attracted to people with similar goals. Partners who share the same dominant function in personality tend to have the longest and happiest relationships with them. For example, the person whose dominant function is Introverted Sensing (ISTJ or ISFJ) often naturally attracts a person whose main function is Extroverted Sensing (ESTP or ESFP).

However, they are considerably likable people who enjoy small pleasures in life and hardly want diversity in their spouses. ESFPs are lucky that they take the time to find someone they really like to be with every day, instead of being hasty to settle down which may overwhelm their partner and ruin the relationship.

2. Friendship

ESFPs will certainly have many friends because it is almost impossible to resist their enthusiasm and optimism. People with this kind of personality focus entirely on the present and always find something interesting to experience and share with their friends. This does not mean that their relationship is superficial or based entirely on pleasure – it is quite the opposite. ESFPs sincerely care for others, but they simply believe that there is no goal in life if you cannot feel truly alive.

On the other hand, the excellent ability to control all five senses of ESFPs can push them to engage in risky behavior, such as gambling, sexuality, drinking, etc. This is the reason why ESFPs should make friends with different types of personalities instead of being around people who act and think in the same way (eg most other SP groups).

ESFP friends do not have any difficulty communicating with other personality types. They are very straightforward, sometimes even blunt, but their openness and charm easily ease the anger of others. People with this kind of personality know how to have fun and be happier sharing that joy with their friends, as long as they are willing to respond.

ESFPs will stay away from discussions about intellectual and logical issues unless they revolve around practical and interesting topics. Therefore, ESFPs will have difficulty connecting and associating with the Analyst (NT) or Diplomat (NF).

Overall, the ESFP is very funny and interesting. They live with the present and know how to make each of those moments the best. ESFPs are usually very kind and generous and always doing their best to create good things for others. They do not like theory and complexity. ESFPs often avoid relationships that require them to use intuition or a lot of thought. ESFPs prefer things to be enjoyable and affectionate despite their deep passion or enthusiasm.

3. Parenthood

ESFP parents are among the happiest and most comfortable with children of all personality types. They greatly enjoy their time with their children, encouraging them to experience things and motivating them as much as possible. Their parenting philosophy is to explore and experience together, they avoid authoritarian structures and tight schedules, and instead want their kids to break down barriers and step out into the world out there on their way.

Setting the discipline can be quite challenging for ESFP parents, however, they often want to prevent their children from suffering the same trauma and setbacks they have experienced. People with ESFP personality are quite sensitive and require their children to respect and consider established rules, a point of contention throughout their teenage years.

Even so, ESFPs parents strive to reach an agreement and provide a great deal of emotional support to their children. The warm affection and sense of practicality give them a very lovable and encouraging parenting style. They are reliable, goal-oriented, and creative companions on their children's development path.

4. Relationship with other personality groups

ESFPs are honest and easy to trust others in communication. They do not put too much emphasis on specific goals in mind but simply want to find happiness and share in a conversation. They also tend to avoid criticizing others, like to encourage and be positive. 

For ISFP, ESTP, ESFJ groups: they have similar characteristics and many things in common so it is easy for ESFPs to share values, interests, and approaches with these groups

For ISTP, ISFJ, ENFJ, ENFP groups: they have some differences but these differences are attractive to ESFPs. They still have something in common to create a balance in their relationship with each other

For ISTJ, INFP, ESTJ, ENTP groups: at first, ESFPs may have some difficulty accessing and connecting with these personality groups. However, after interacting for a while, they will discover commonalities as well as other points of view that can complement each other

For INTP, INTJ, INFJ, ENTJ groups: these personality groups are opposite and conflicting with ESFPs, but if it is possible to develop a relationship, this is an opportunity for ESFPs to learn and grow themselves, the challenges always come along with great opportunity.

VII. Career Paths and Development Areas of ESFPs

Communicating with others is crucial for this type of personality and nearly all ESFP career paths are based on this need. Furthermore, ESFPs are very spontaneous and they do not like a tight schedule, structured or boring tasks, monotonous work.

Theoretical documents, administrative work, or meticulous data analysis are torture for ESFPs – any profession involving such or similar is very inconsistent with their nature. On the contrary, the best jobs for ESFPs are to provide them with enough freedom to express their love of unique things, aesthetics, and experiences.

ESFPs are artistic people who always want to practice in a dynamic and flexible social working environment where they can freely work together with friendly, sociable, and enthusiastic colleagues. They are suitable for the following career fields:

Community and social services (Health Education, Counselor);

Social Media (Editor, Public Relation, Author);

Education (Teacher, Administrator);

Business, Management, and Sales (Marketing, Human Resource Management, Business Management);

Entertainment, Art, and Design (Singer, Musician, Fashion Design, Photographer);

Health services and personal care (Personal trainer, Nanny, Nurse);

Police, Firefighter..

VIII. How ESFPs perform in the work and learning environment

At a young age, ESFP students tend to excel in creative, useful, or practical areas. They are often guided into activities like acting, art, or anything that allows them to construct, build, and experiment with specific creative tools. They are also flexible and adaptable kids that tend to dislike a principled lifestyle or a repetitive pattern of habits.

At work, ESFPs are people who work hard and enjoy getting things done. They work well in a communicative and welcoming environment. They don't like the rules of limit and like to work with freedom and flexibility. They try to do their best and expect the same from others. They are happy to work with and can get along with others.

ESFPs share a common desire to make the environment as friendly and enjoyable as possible for whatever position they take on their job. They also push everyone else to engage in practical tasks to get things done, especially the more free and goal-oriented environments are, the better they perform.

As subordinates, ESFPs thrive with new changes and ideas, while at the same time disliking repetitive and strictly defined tasks. They are employees who are willing to experiment, embrace new ideas and methods, and be brainstormed as long as their managers create a favorable atmosphere where they can work creatively. The biggest struggle for ESFP subordinates is that they value freedom and independence much more than safety and security – if their conditions are not met, they are likely to leave.

As colleagues, ESFPs can make friends with their peers and alleviate the stress on their team. They use their strong social and observational skills to bring people together and lift the group's mood. The events and activities inside and outside the group are what they favor due to their witty, enthusiastic, and spontaneous nature.

As managers, ESFPs do everything they can to push energy and infuse joy into everyday tasks that need to be done for everyone. Because they enjoy the spotlight, they need to be respected and appreciated. Power and social status are secondary to feeling themselves as an important part of a team, instead, they prefer to get involved in the process of handling heavy workloads and to promote their own effectiveness.

ESFP managers are particularly skilled at sensing the moods of others and no one performs better in preventing conflicts and encouraging more comfortable and enjoyable workplaces than them. They always welcome their subordinates to speak their mind and are willing to listen to others sharing when conflicts arise. Their ability to connect with others and analyze quickly makes them resourceful and inspirational leaders.

ESFP Characters

ESFP Career Matches

That being said, people might also become unhappy in some sort of job, particularly if they do not pay attention to their qualities and characteristics in order to establish a better professional route.

This article will discuss persons with the ESFP personality type and their ESFP career matches.

I. The ESFP at Work

1. Ideal ESFP career matches

Jobs that present frequent challenges and obstacles may prove to be ideal ESFP career matches for these people. They will eagerly embrace any new difficulties that come their way since they enjoy changes and welcome them at any time. 

They are adaptive and thrive in ever-changing surroundings, preferring not to stay in their comfort zones.
Work that needs creativity and originality is ideal for ESFP career matches. Because performers are open-minded individuals who are more accepting of new ideas, both their personal and professional life may be creative in nature and full with creativity.

Because ESFPs are action-oriented and are more inspired by new experiences, they want to see results in whatever they do and will not accept no for an answer. They prefer a hands-on approach that allows them to track their job productivity and devise a better strategy for themselves. Because of this, physically intensive job may appeal to them.

2. Uncharacteristic ESFP career matches

ESFPs might be turned off by monotonous labor or stringent restrictions, which can cause them anxiety. So office jobs, where they only have one duty to do and redo every day, might not be for them.

Depending on the circumstances, an ESFP should consider doing what is best for their long-term mental health, which is choosing a career and an atmosphere that is more conducive to their forward-thinking nature.

Long-term initiatives are not their strong strength. They may get quickly sidetracked and unmotivated if a long-term effort does not provide immediate results, as there are no rapid gratifications that ESFPs are drawn to. When there are no quick and measurable outcomes, people lose motivation and become more avoidant, and their workflow decreases.

Individual ESFP career matches do not work for these persons either. If they are unable to engage with others, their work appears to have less significance and they feel less delight in it. ESFPs are gregarious and require human connections or a busy atmosphere to thrive, therefore being confined to one location or forced to work alone does not suit them.

II. 10 Best ESFP Career Matches 

1. Actor/ Actress

One of the most apparent sorts of job for an ESFP is acting. They are named Entertainers for a reason: they enjoy performing and can elicit people's emotions via their acts. They seek to amuse and captivate everyone's attention.

ESFPs thrive on performing and being admired for it. They aspire to be in the spotlight, where they can best bring attention to themselves, while also providing a one-of-a-kind experience to countless people via their abilities and ability to amuse.

Because the employment of an actor or actress gives a variety of new difficulties and chances on a daily basis, entertainers will be driven because they enjoy new experiences.

An acting profession also allows them to gain new abilities with each job, as well as opportunity to transform themselves into various people, which is a very unique and refreshing experience.

Being able to withhold numerous identities is an aspect of an actor's personality, and this is quite appealing to people searching for new things in their area of work.

Every character is unique and comes with new duties that the actor has never had before, such as their lines, the people with whom they work, the screenplay, and so on. An ESFP may be enticed by the chance to renew themselves every few months when a new career is offered.

2. Teacher

Teaching work is frequently quite engrossing by nature. The function also has a strong performative component, which attracts ESFP career matches.

As a consequence, they typically flourish in this profession, particularly because it is a work atmosphere that is most natural to them, allowing them to get more quickly involved in their work and really successful in passing on information to their pupils.

Passion and compassion are essential in people's profession, and ESFPs have natural social skills that make them ideal for teaching, where you must engage with dozens of children every classroom, all of whom are eager to hear from you.

The more extroverted a teacher is, the better they are in invigorating pupils and lifting their spirits. Teachers that are actively involved in their students' learning processes may be of tremendous assistance to them while also allowing the pupils to feel supported and helped.

They may also govern many parts of teaching, such as how you choose to conduct your work and program, as well as how you grade. An ESFP values the ability to take the initiative and control some aspects of the job.

3. Party, event planner

Any type of social gathering is a joy for ESFPs, therefore being able or in a position to prepare for them is fantastic. They can better manage and interact effectively with those responsible for various aspects of a social gathering in order to bring it to life since they have good people skills and a communication bent.

Social planning also allows them to engage with people in ways that no other profession can. Their creative streak may also be quite beneficial and contribute significantly to the potential success of such a meeting.

Being visually appealing or aesthetically beautiful may often mean the difference between a good and a bad party. The pictures bring out the moods like no other, and ESFPs are particularly sensitive to other people's moods.

Finally, being a party or event planner means that they may witness the fruits of their work very immediately after each event concludes. It may be summarized by social media interactions, if it is trending, and other people's reactions to the happenings.

Whether it succeeds or fails is largely dependent on how others see it, and ESFPs like any form of feedback since it represents human relationships in a different manner.

The fast-paced world of events is also a good fit for them since social planners are frequently hired by organizations or establishments that host a lot of events.

4.  Social workers

Many of the finest social workers are outgoing, loving individuals who enjoy serving and improving their communities. ESFPs may find that working as a social worker is the most gratifying profession of their lives, allowing them to express their compassion and capacity to care for people in a more constructive setting.

Although they may be distracted by the lesser pay at times, perhaps at first, they will take pride in the fact that they have discovered the type of employment that best suits them, one that they like.
Being a social worker satisfies several of the needs of ESFPs, including a high level of human connection, the ability to cultivate and act with compassion and empathy, and the ability to be challenging and invigorating.

Even if the lesser income may be an impediment, the area is fast rising and has a bright future. Social workers are increasingly in high demand in the healthcare and education industries, and the outlook for clinical social workers is typically positive.

5.  Fashion designer

Fashion design is one of the finest ESFP career matches since it allows ESFPs to be hands-on in a working atmosphere.

As fashion designers, they will be able to put a lot of what they know and their abilities to use, especially given their passion for trends, styles, and aesthetics. Fashion designers prefer to travel to a variety of locations and engage with a diverse range of individuals on a regular basis, which appeals to an ESFP who finds social interactions intriguing.

Not only that but most of a fashion designer's day is spent looking for inspiration in everything they see and experience, as well as experimenting with and developing new trends. ESFPs enjoy new experiences and challenges, thus this is ideal for them since the nature of the work pushes them to be creative and challenge themselves and their coworkers on a daily basis.

Outgoing and talkative fashion designers may entice people to collaborate with them. Their extroverted, thrill-seeking personality, as well as a need for attention as well as the ability to create it for others, might make them incredibly fit with such a vocation.

A creative job, like as fashion design, might be intimidating owing to how few people make it and how much natural skill is required to succeed, but ESFPs can check all of the boxes and more.

6. Entrepreneur

While this employment may not be ideal for many other personality types, ESFPs can be a terrific match. They are exceptionally persuasive people who can effectively bring people to their causes because of their ambitious character, along with being forceful and results-oriented.

They can effectively express their ideas and are natural-born motivators, both of which are required in this sort of unpredictable and dangerous profession. Being an entrepreneur is all about being able to adapt to changes, and this is the ideal environment for ESFPs to thrive.

ESFPs typically have a positive outlook on life, which may be advantageous because it is frequently spirits, or a reluctance to develop, that destroy enterprises.

Because of their strong resolve and high degree of confidence, ESFP entrepreneurs know how to acquire what they want and try their best to get it. However, if they are overly optimistic, it might backfire and result in financial losses for them and those around them.

7. Salesperson

This is one of the more obvious careers that an ESFP can pursue. Because ESFPs demand a lot of social connections, working in the sales sector is ideal.

Because of their good communication skills and capacity to generate empathy with others, they can better build rapport through small conversation, as well as detect and respond to their customers' needs.

Their energy and passion are contagious, and when combined with smiles and the ability to sympathize, they can efficiently close transactions. In essence, they are natural salespeople.
A salesman interacts with a large number of individuals on a daily basis, whether they be coworkers, managers, or clients. These encounters are not just feelers for ESFPs, but they are also challenging that they like.

Maintaining excellent connections is essential for an effective salesman since they must effectively maintain their social life and good relationships with everyone around them in order to be more productive in their business and keep up with the expectations or work quotas, which are often strong. Talking to others is not only enjoyable, but it is also advantageous in this regard. 

8. Professional athletes

The world of professional sports may be quite appealing to ESFPs with specific athletic skill sets. Sports inherently provide fulfillment via hard effort, whether as an individual or as a team, therefore ESFP folks are more driven than others since there are real outcomes that can be shown to them.

Furthermore, being a professional athlete is a public activity, comparable to performative work in that one of their job responsibilities is to amuse spectators.

Their performance is directly proportional to the degree of enjoyment they deliver; the better they are at their profession, the more people would follow and watch them.

In another sense, this is one of the sorts of satisfaction provided by the profession, the gratification of quick attention.

9. Chef

Being a chef is often associated with a passion for food, but for ESFPs, it is much more than that. The work can meet the ESFP's desire to become an artist and performer, as well as one who interacts with a large number of people on a regular basis.

Their extraversion, inventiveness, and passion of working with people all come through in this area of employment. They have the potential to be exceptional cooks if they can put their best qualities to use.

Customer feedback or comments from coworkers might offer them with the quick pleasure they require to maintain their job efficiency. A chef is also the star of the kitchen, and they are oftentimes the reason consumers visit a restaurant.

If a person has a knack for cooking, a passion for it, and enjoys being the center of attention and entertaining others, they are a very happy person.

10. Physical therapist

As a general rule, many ESFPs thrive in jobs that require them to interact with people. These folks can use their innate empathy and compassion as physical therapists to connect with patients and develop good connections. They appreciate assisting others and have an altruistic streak, which is really beneficial when it comes to, well, assisting others.

This is the sort of employment that allows people to establish plans, control them, and manage them in order to collaborate with their patients to achieve a shared goal: to enhance their health.

Mobility concerns and chronic health disorders are becoming more prevalent in the social media and technology age, so joining the sector may be a smart decision, especially because the job prognosis for physical therapists is highly promising.

ESFPs are naturally people-pleasers who are eager to assist others when required, and physical therapy is a tough work that needs close interaction with others, which is ideal for ESFPs. Physical therapists also earn a solid living, which should be considered.

III. Career matches for ESFP Types to Avoid

1. Human Resources

Human resource professionals and managers must deal with and engage with people of various personalities. This position also requires conducting interviews, delivering presentations, and planning. An ESFP does not enjoy planning and doing mundane tasks.

Having him or her sit behind her desk every day, interviewing applicants, writing memos, analyzing and updating corporate regulations, and other mundane activities might be overwhelming for an ESFP. This is why this employment is unpopular among those who have the ESFP personality type.

2. Accounting

This position necessitates analysis as well as working with figures and data that must be broken down into precise information and documented.

This sort of employment will not only be repetitive for an ESFP, but it will also be difficult for him or her because it needs following protocols and adhering to them.

3. Administrative Assistant

ESFPs know better than to apply for a job that requires them to report to the office every day and stay until five o'clock in the afternoon. As a result, a work in an office, such as that of an administrative assistant, will not satisfy them.

An administrative assistant's duties and responsibilities include answering phones, planning schedules, dealing with paperwork, responding to emails, and other similar chores.

These are activities they will not enjoy since they will keep them occupied but not with things they enjoy doing, such as conversing and being on the go.

ESFP Introduction

ESFP Strengths & Weaknesses

ESFP Enneagram

In this post, we will look at the fundamental characteristics, strengths, shortcomings, and other characteristics of these nine types ESFP Enneagram.

I. The overview of ESFP Enneagram

The MBTI and the Enneagram of Personality are two of the most popular personality classification systems. 

These correlations may make it possible to provide individuals with a combined personality result, such as ESFP and nine Enneagram.

Please keep in mind that the ESFP personality type is commonly associated with the enneagram categories listed below:

• ESFP Enneagram Type 2;

• ESFP Enneagram Type 7.

II. The ESFP Enneagram with 9 Types

1. ESFP Enneagram type 1

People with the ESFP Enneagram type 1 are typically introverts who like to spend their time alone. They may easily disconnect from others and live a solitary existence. Their aversion to the intricacies of relationships causes them to shun others.

This allows them to develop their idealistic views while avoiding allowing others to affect their passionately held convictions.

They are also quite critical of others, which might irritate others. They frequently look indifferent and distant, which exacerbates their relationships.

Their Type 1 personality, on the other hand, allows them to be highly accepting and tolerant of diversity. And, despite their avoidance of expressing their feelings, these people are devoted to the few people they allow into their lives.

Extroverted people are typically leaders, and they have a tendency to force their perfectionism on others. Sensing Ones are practical and detail-oriented, typically valuing norms and tradition; Feeling Ones value assisting others, fostering harmony, are more scared of criticism, and are more inclined to turn their anger inwards; Irrational Ones are more flexible, spontaneous, and adaptable.

2. ESFP Enneagram type 2

A sizable proportion of ESFPs identify as Enneagram type 2 (Type 2 with a 1 wing: 0 percent ; Type 2 with a 3 wing: 100 percent ).

Though the two types are most typically linked with the extroverted feeling function, the ESFP's mix of introverted feeling and extroverted sensing frequently resembles Fe in many respects. As a result, it is not unexpected that many ESFPs identify with the type 2.

Type 2 ESFPs are highly warm and inviting, always trying to make others feel at ease and supported. Though they are active by nature, they are quite patient when it comes to assisting others they care about, and they make excellent listeners and practical hard workers.

These people will go out of their way to help those they care about, whether it's by providing practical assistance, bringing them out to keep their minds off things, or engaging in a long, encouraging talk about how the other person is feeling.

People with the ESFP Enneagram type 2 are often in touch with their introverted feelings and are very perceptive about the desires, anxieties, and motives of others.

The type 2 ESFP feels that they are worthy inasmuch as they are helpful to others. They are continually shifting from sentiments of insignificance to feelings of affection and respect. They are most like their dominating extroverted-feeling pals, the ESFJs.

Extroverted Twos are chatty, theatrical, and energetic; they reach out to others and like being the center of attention. Sensing Twos aid people in a realistic, down-to-earth way, Feeling Twos are typically warm and empathic and endeavor to make the surroundings more peaceful, and Irrational Twos are adaptive and impulsive.

3. ESFP Enneagram type 3

This personality type strives for success in all aspects of their life. Their relationships are no exception, and they have extremely specific requirements for who they seek as a mate.

They seek someone with a high social rank or who is highly desired by others. As a result, even ESFP Enneagram type 3 people's relationships must be striking to others.

Furthermore, these individuals are well-suited to positions of leadership. Type 3 persons are under continual pressure to be amusing. They also have difficulty achieving a work-life balance since they might become excessively involved in their profession.

Extroverted Threes are action-oriented and fast-paced; they are strong communicators and enjoy being the center of attention. Sensing Threes are practical, conventional, detail-oriented problem solvers, while Feeling Threes are more people-oriented and imaginative or visionary. Irrational Threes are adaptive and impulsive.

4. ESFP Enneagram type 4

Extroverted Fours are social and outspoken, with a flair for the dramatic. Sensing Fours act and live in the present moment, Feeling Fours are emotionally sensitive and empathic, and Irrational Fours are more impulsive and indecisive.

5. ESFP Enneagram type 5

This personality type is practical and structured. They are motivated by a desire to solve issues and have a positive impact on the world. Workplaces that support their analytical and logical approach to problems while also stimulating development and learning are perfect for these individuals.

They like to keep to themselves and avoid building interactions with others. They prefer to suppress their emotions and concentrate on their cerebral activities. Relationships, they believe, are too taxing on their emotional energies.

They do, however, form relationships with others who share their interests or who provide intellectual stimulation.

Extroverted Fives are outgoing, friendly, and intellectually confident. Sensing Fives are realistic, practical, and enjoy categorizing facts. Irrational Fives are less focused on clear objectives and are more sensitive and tuned to people and values in their pursuits, whereas Feeling Fives are more sensitive and oriented to people and values.

6. ESFP Enneagram type 6

People with the ESFP Enneagram type 6 are intelligent and hardworking. They are more cautious and serious than other Type 6s.

The primary concern of ESFP Enneagram type 6 persons is the loss of stability and support. Their fundamental aim is to feel secure.

Type 6 persons have a propensity to project their own sentiments and motivations onto others, making them suspicious of those around them. These individuals are introverts who place a high priority on limits.

Sixes that are extroverted are chatty and social. Sensing Sixes are practical, trustworthy, and occasionally conservative. Feeling Sixes are loyal, dependant, and phobic, but Irrational Sixes are adaptive.

7. ESFP Enneagram type 7

Type 6 with a 6 wing: 50%; Type 7 with an 8 wing: 50%). This type coupling comes as no surprise given that extroverted sensing — the ESFP's major function – is closely connected with the 7 type.

People with the ESFP Enneagram type 7 are very active, enthusiastic, and gregarious. They are always looking for new experiences and rely significantly on their extroverted sensory function.

Introverted feelings may be a blind spot for the type 7 ESFP since they are more interested in experiencing new things than in evaluating them or making solid conclusions about how they feel. They are prone to sweeping any unwanted emotions under the rug rather than confronting them head on.

This sort of ESFP lives in a world of limitless people possibilities and may hop from relationship to relationship swiftly, savoring the powerful high of falling in love (or lust). Despite their want to be continuously surrounded by people, they are very autonomous and self-directed.

The ESFP Enneagram type 7 feels that they are accountable for going out into the world and acquiring what they desire. They are continually shifting from boredom and deprivation to thrill and riches. They are the most similar to their thinking relative, the ESTP.

Extroverted Sevens are chatty, gregarious, fast-paced, and fun-loving people who have a wide range of friends and experiences. Sensing Sevens are action-oriented, lively, and realistic, and they learn by first-hand experience and observation.

Furthermore, Feeling Sevens are sensitive, compassionate, and people-oriented, but Irrational Sevens are highly open and have problems seeing projects through to completion.

8. ESFP Enneagram type 8

Extroverted Eights are energetic, joyful, vocal, and fast-paced, and they frequently become powerful leaders. Sensing Eights are practical, realistic, and interested in facts; Feeling Eights are helpful and supportive but less powerful and direct; and Irrational Eights are impulsive and dictatorial.

Individuals with the ESFP Enneagram type 8 are self-sufficient and ambitious, preferring to march to the beat of their own drum. They are self-assured, gregarious, and realistic.

The primary fear of ESFP Enneagram type 8 persons is being dominated. Their fundamental aim is to be in control of their own life. As a result, they are resentful of authority. While ESFP Enneagram type 8 people value their independence and autonomy, they also desire the same for others. As a result, rather than manipulating others, they utilize their own strength to assist others less fortunate than themselves.

9. ESFP Enneagram type 9

Individuals with the ESFP Enneagram type 9 are diligent and creative. Their fundamental worry is being cut off from the rest of the world or losing something significant. Their fundamental aim is for balance and serenity, both inside and beyond themselves.

They protect themselves from negative emotions and stress by immersing themselves in their daily routine. 9w1s enjoy abstract thoughts and have many innovative ideas.

Extroverted Nines are gregarious, chatty, and lively. Sensing Nines are pleasant, humble, and might appear to be extremely restrained on the surface. Irrational Nines want to keep their choices open, whereas Feeling Nines prefer harmony and pleasant partnerships.

ESFP-A

If you've met an ESFP, you'll never forget them. They are thought to be excellent performers and the life of the party. They will create an excellent impression on you since they are extreme extroverts who get their energy from interacting with people. ESFPs are commonly classified into two subtypes: ESFP-A and ESFP-T.

For the sake of this post, we shall look at the ESFP-A personality type, which represents the Assertive side.

I. ESFP-A meaning

ESFP-A is also known as Assertive ESFP, and the word "Assertive" has a significant connotation. ESFP-As typically take a more direct approach to how they live their life and make decisions.

They can be a little too pushy at times, which leads to them being domineering and wanting to take over or dominate people in some way.

Individuals with an assertive personality are often self-assured, even-tempered, and, most importantly, resistant to stress. They are calm and level-headed, but they also have genuine objectives and purposes to attain, and they will go to any length to achieve what they set out to do.

Entertainers or persons with the ESFP-A personality type may feel comforted and optimistic about themselves, and those with the Assertive personality type may feel even more so. While endowed with skills and expertise, assertive entertainers (ESFP-A) can move forward when others are hesitant, and they can become exceptional leaders.

People with this personality tend to accomplish the level of achievement they set for themselves, as confidence and drive may go a long way in life.

When the ESFP-A has a disagreement with a friend, he or she is more likely to grant forgiveness swiftly than the ESFP-T. Those who are aggressive tend to keep their sentiments to themselves, which can lead to fewer disputes but also makes them less transparent to their friends.

Assertive personalities are fast to express and share their joy, but they are inclined to hide unpleasant feelings. There are advantages to having bad emotions, yet aggressive individuals choose to bury their sentiments rather than discuss them with their society.

Let us all join Assertive Entertainer’s life and get right to work!

II. ESFP-A Characteristics

1. Decisive

One of the most prominent characteristics of an Assertive entertainer (ESFP-A) is their ability to make swift judgments and their tenacity in doing so.
They will consider the repercussions but will not place much weight on their decisions because concentrating on it too much may prevent them from making the decision at all.
When these decisions end out nicely, everything is fine, especially for the assertive artists who took a decision while others hesitated.
However, when things go wrong, their recklessness may come to the fore. Their robust nature appears to bring them a lot of problems while also providing them with a lot of benefits, as seen by several of their qualities.

As a result, a balance is required when making a choice, and ESFP-As tend to be more successful when attempting to rectify their defects owing to their forward-thinking outlook.

2. Optimistic

Optimism is a straightforward conclusion based on their other characteristics, but it is nevertheless an important component that distinguishes ESFP-As from others. They have strong beliefs in things working out in all situations, which affects how they deal with adversities.

When combined with their willingness to take chances, assertive entertainers are typically leaders of collectives and organizations, eager to make choices and follow through on them, as well as being able to keep spirits up when others are down. As a result, their job options are nearly limitless.

3. Super Extroverts

ESFPs are extroverts by nature. ESFP-A folks, on the other hand, are just more than extroverts. They are the life of the party and can maintain their energy levels for extended periods of time.

As previously stated, ESFP-A individuals are natural extroverts and serve as the primary representatives on this level. They draw their energy from being surrounded by people or from being around them and use it to bring tremendous pleasure and spirits to others.

Their presence is valued anyplace, and their words have importance, since they have a tendency to make wonderful friends by their kindness. They are excellent companions who everyone enjoys having around, whether as a lover, a friend, or a coworker.

Consider having an Assertive performer with you if you want to have a good time or someone to accompany you to a public event or go partying. They are enormous delights and will merit your consideration.

4. Confident

Individuals with the Assertive (A) personality type are said to have less emotional negativity and robustness, and they can cope better with life's different difficulties.

This may be seen in how they conduct themselves at work and in other social settings. They are typically confident and self-assured, even when the situation in front of them appears difficult and dismal.

Overconfidence, on the other hand, may be a problem for Assertive performers. Being too forceful causes some people to be reckless or to gloss over difficulties or nuances that might be critical to their work or their aspirations.

Overconfidence may also be a problem while working on collaborative activities with others, as they may lead them astray or cause conflicts with others by being too self-centered.

They may need to focus on keeping a healthy ego, but overconfidence might interfere with this process and cause them to disregard it or make incorrect evaluations.

Regardless, despite the fact that it can be a two-edged sword in some instances, confidence is their most valuable asset and will serve them well throughout life.

5. Dealing with Emotions

ESFP-A people have great emotional control. They enable themselves to experience emotions while remaining reasonably objective while making judgments. This personality type can also read people’s emotions and body language.

We know that confidence is another important characteristic for ESFP-As. They are not looking for people to validate their conduct, but they do welcome accolades. Their decision-making process, however, is less reliant on emotions such as rage.

When faced with stress, they just strive to remove the stresses rather than fretting. Furthermore, ESFP-As are more fluent and expressive of their emotions, and they can take them into account better in order to build a level-headed approach to dealing with situations rather than riding on their emotions. 

They seldom have doubts, and because of their vocal personality, they make sure that everyone around them do as well.

6. Dealing with stress

People with the ESFP-A personality type have a combination of Assertive and ESFP traits. Assertive ESFPs will be self-assured and unlikely to be concerned. They don't get worked up or freaked out over it.

This does not imply that they are clueless or uncaring; it just means that they will not allow difficulties to dominate their mental space. This is especially important if they work in a field where the ability to deal with stress is highly valued.

When feasible, the Assertive type of ESFP will tend toward being confident and comfortable, and will feel at peace with themselves and their surroundings.

Potential stresses are not worth worrying about in their minds, allowing them to respond calmly and rationally when under duress.

III. Career Choices

Assertive entertainers (ESFP-A) want to amuse others and are often drawn to the performing arts as a job.

Being on stage excites them, and being in the spotlight is a dream come true for them. They are often quite creative, and as a result, they can flourish in professional fields that require creativity and aesthetic expression.

Even in less glamorous professions, persons with these personality types are more likely to apply for active people occupations than lonely ones that need a great deal of technical knowledge.

They enjoy dealing with people and are especially good at public relations, where their friendliness and flexibility shine the most.

Unlike their tumultuous counterparts, the ESFP-A is more at ease with making decisions. They make these judgments quickly, allowing them to be decisive and effective in fast-paced circumstances.

They also like assisting others and making a difference in their communities.

Helping others eventually becomes their source of delight, and in industries where client satisfaction is critical, assertive entertainers can flourish.

As previously said, ESFP-A persons may be more frequently dissatisfied or appear disinterested in technical employment since they deal with statistics rather than people.

Because they get their energy from social connections, this may be very dangerous and lead to mental health concerns and other problems.

It is critical for them and their workflow to have freedom of mobility, freedom of activities, and social life, even at work. Being able to fit in at work is important for everybody, but it is more important for ESFP-A, and this is achieved.

• Model;

• Real estate agents;

• Musician;

• Social worker;

• Sales representative;

ESFP Strengths & Weaknesses

ESFP-T

ESFP-T

ESFP-T people are delicate and intricate, and they will require a lot more to be properly assessed. That is why we have taken the time to construct a list of the most notable characteristics of an ESFP-T, how they conduct themselves in their everyday life, and what actually distinguishes them from others.

I. ESFP-T meaning

The ESFP-T personality type is known as the Entertainer. The ESFP-T is more inclined to harbor resentment toward a buddy. They are also more vulnerable to criticism or retaliation.

While both ESFP types are more concentrated and sensitive than thinkers, this is more true for the ESFP-T, so exercise caution while speaking to them.

In partnerships, the ESFP is often kind, generous, and enjoys showing affection for their spouse. This is true for both ESFP subgroups. They also appreciate having people assist them, enjoying a spontaneous lifestyle, and being kind to others.

When it comes to relationships, though, ESFP-Ts are more easily agitated. They may become suspicious if their spouse stays out late, arrives home later than normal, and so on.

In the workplace, turbulent Entertainers are terrified of having too much authority and having to make choices, whereas assertive Entertainers like having control and prefer to lead and take charge.

Because ESFP-T people worry more about the job than ESFP-As, they want a more stable and less stressful setting.

Indeed, tumultuous Entertainers may be terrified of having to select and would prefer that task delegation not be a part of their work.

ESFP-T people, on the other hand, form deep bonds with individuals around them and love not having to make judgments.

They are frequently anxious and like having robust communication mechanisms in the workplace so that they may be helped anytime they want it.

However, the ESFP-T indecisiveness might also indicate that they take decisions seriously, thus they may be hesitant to investigate all the data before making a decision or taking a risk.

II. ESFP-T Characteristics

1. Perfectionistic

Turbulent personalities are perfectionistic, and Turbulent performers are no exception. If their weaknesses are self-doubts and uncertainties, they will strive to compensate for them by being able to do more and feeling the desire to achieve more.

They will endeavor to guide the ship in the appropriate direction and will not take any breaks. The maintenance will be carried out with the utmost care and precision.

They are people who will push themselves no matter what in order to develop themselves, whether in their career or on their road of self-improvement and this, in turn, implies that their projects or efforts are also progressing in this manner.

Because of how they handle pressure, they will take care not to let even one source of concern to challenge them by squashing it early on before it becomes a larger problem.

That being said, the desire to become a perfectionist isn't always useful, and it may even be damaging at times. This applies to the majority of Turbulent subtypes, not simply Turbulent entertainers.

While attempting to perfect a task or others is admirable, it can result in tremendous time waste if the perfectionist is unable to achieve it. And we all know that nothing is truly flawless.

So the drive to be flawless, as well as the incapacity to truly become so, may have a detrimental impact on the individual, and they may become weighed down with problems that they keep striving to correct.

While their sensitivity to possible issues may appear to be advantageous at times, it may be dangerous if trying to remedy every wrong they come across is all they worry about.

Too frequently, Turbulent types tend to focus on the downsides rather than the benefits at hand, which can wreak havoc on the tasks they're working on or their productivity.
Perfectionists are frequently fixated on aspects that they perceive to be defective, and Turbulent subtypes, and more notably Turbulent performers, are no exception.

Having said that, being cautious and alert are still desirable qualities, especially in a well-run community. Turbulent performers may be valuable contributors, and their contagious energy can inspire many people if they can combine their fears and concerns with positive and practical action.

As with Assertive performers, their job potential is broad, and they may be of great service in a variety of fields.

2. Self-improvement

When compared to aggressive people, ESFP-Ts may not feel as at ease with themselves. Personal pain, on the other hand, has an advantage. Turbulent ESFPs have a stronger motivation to better themselves since they are dissatisfied with themselves. This can lead to better success later in their life.
Self-doubt or uncertainty might foster this. However, it does imply that they are more likely to go deeply into the selections they make in order to uncover all of the nuances regarding each option.

3. Dealing with Emotions

Turbulent entertainers are highly intriguing when it comes to dealing with emotions. Being expressive is a feature that exists in Turbulent types, just as it is a trait that exists in ESFPs in general when expressing their feelings and mental concerns.

However, they do not regulate their emotions in the same manner that the Assertive subtype does. A Turbulent performer who is frequently overwhelmed with self-doubt and anxiety about the future and the scenario itself may find it more difficult to regulate their emotions.

And, because to their temperament, instead of remaining cool and collected, their feelings might be communicated through outbursts, such as displays of wrath, which, although perceived as honesty, can otherwise bring significant mental suffering since Turbulent performers do not enjoy disagreements.

However, it might be argued that being able to openly and publicly express unpleasant feelings can assist ESFP-Ts in better obtaining treatment or drawing attention to their problems.
While ESFPs are sensitive by nature, Turbulent ESFPs are considerably more so. They are more easily hurt and harbor grudges than others because they value people more and hence their acts have more meaning.
We are unavoidably subjective when we interpret others, and this shapes our behaviors and viewpoints. We all too frequently think about wrongs in circumstances when there are many rights.
Turbulent performers are sensitive, and this sensitivity may frequently lead to rage, as they are more prone to spotting flaws in others' behavior and words, and might take such things as intended at them and will wish to protect themselves.

Out of a need to convey anger, this can sometimes lead to verbal disputes or even fights. Turbulent ESFPs may feel terrible later on, either because of their public outbursts or because they "overdid" it.

However, many personality types lack the ability to communicate their negative emotions. This is due to peer pressure or a desire to fit in with the social group.

Turbulent performers are more freely expressive when it comes to airing out their feelings, which has positives in some situations, such as being able to receive treatment if they're feeling upset, or connecting with others who are experiencing the same issues.
Many social groups like having ESFP-Ts around since they know how to empathize with others and understand the importance of empathy better than most.

4. Dealing with stress

Assertive performers are often more confident than ESFP, whereas Turbulent are less so.

According to a poll, more than half of Turbulent performers believe that lowering stress is extremely important to them, whereas Assertive entertainers believe it is substantially less important.

One of the primary criteria that distinguish one subtype from another is their level of self-awareness.

Turbulent performers are more concerned about numerous challenges in their lives, and they may feel more pressure than their rivals.

This causes individuals to doubt their own talents and their capacity to tackle a challenging assignment at times. They can even become stressed out at times.

Their tolerance for anxiety is low, but although this might mean looking on the bright side of a problem, it can also be a source of tension for ESFP-T people.

They may be anxious about their anxiety, and this can create a vicious cycle that leads to a serious mental illness later on.
Because they are high strung and more prone to stress, they are typically not successful at projects where they are the primary organizers, but they do well in circumstances where they are given instruction.

5. Indecisiveness 

Indecisiveness is an issue for these people as well, but it comes from a good place. In general, performers are unfocused, especially when given a long-term purpose.

Turbulent performers often have more doubt and uncertainty than others, making them even more cautious to make judgments. They are terrified of options and the need of making a decision, and they will go to any length to avoid having to make one.

This might eventually lead to negative behavior, such as severe procrastination, as a result of having too many options to pick from and being unable to choose any of them.

However, in many cases, this inclination to be reluctant may be regarded as advantageous, such as when making judgments that require time and adequate attention.

III. Career Choices

The ESFP-T should be assigned more stable and less stressful roles of the two categories of ESFPs. They should be given a lot of encouragement and lots of chances to mingle with their teammates. This indicates that management, entrepreneurial, or leadership positions may be unsuitable for this type. On the other hand, there are some occupations where this personality type absolutely shines.
They, like most performers, have excellent people skills and excel in vocations that entail interacting with and responding to others.
Turbulent performers, because of their serious and perfectionistic nature, would take care to deliver the greatest services to their consumers and assure their contentment. Because they are inherently compassionate, work in the medical profession is ideal for them.

Best careers for people who share the ESFP-T personality type:

• Dietician;

• Elementary teacher;

• Jewelry work;

• Florist;

• Photographer;

• Designers;

• Personal coaches;

• Consultants;

• Social workers;

ENTJs, on the other hand, are profound, intuitive, and analytical. They like to spend their time thinking about complicated issues rather than making small chat with others.

Furthermore, an ENTJ will be strong and loud in their ideas, which sensitive ESFPs may find overpowering. If ESFPs and ENTJs can transcend their differences and learn to live with them, they may learn a lot from one another.
