ALL ABOUT MBTI TYPES

MBTI All About ESFP: Entertainer

ESFP: The Performer (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving)

People with ESFP personality types are often described as spontaneous, resourceful, and outgoing. They love being the center of attention and are often described as entertainers or "class clowns." ESFP is the opposite of the INTJ personality type. According to psychologist David Keirsey, the developer of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, approximately four to ten percent of all people have an ESFP personality type.

ESFPs Rely on Four Key Cognitive Functions:

Dominant: Extraverted Sensing

ESFPs prefer to focus on the here-and-now rather than thinking about the distant future. They also prefer learning about concrete facts rather than theoretical ideas. ESFPs don't spend a lot of time planning and organizing. Instead, they like to keep their options open. When solving problems, they trust their instincts and put trust in their own abilities to come up with a solution. While they are reasonable and pragmatic, they dislike structure, order, and planning. Instead, they act spontaneously and do not spend a great deal of time coming up with a plan or schedule.

Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling

ESFPs place a greater emphasis personal feelings rather than logic and facts when making decisions. People with this personality type have an internal system of values on which they base their decisions. They are very much aware of their own emotions and are empathetic towards others. They excel at putting themselves in another person's shoes, so to speak.

Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking

This function is focused on enforcing order on the outside world. It is centered on productivity, logic, and results. Because this tends to be a weaker aspect of personality, ESFPs may not always feel secure sharing their judgments, especially if they feel it will disrupt the harmony of the group.

Inferior: Introverted Intuition

While this is the least prominent aspect of personality, this function can help the ESFP spot patterns and make connections in things they have observed. ESFPs are usually not particularly adept at using logic to sort through abstract concepts, but this sense can sometimes lead to flashes of insight and epiphanies about the themselves or the world.
