I know a good number of ESFPs, but I'm only close to a few of them.. anyways, here it is:
ESFPs are:
POSITIVES/NEUTRAL:
- fun to be with, very cheerful and enthusiastic about life in general
- very friendly
- likes to get things going
- sensitive to other people's feelings
- life of the party
- people are usually drawn to them because they are exciting (choice of words and gestures are very enthusiastic)
- always running around (hehe.. going out, doing errands)
- always have to be doing something
- generous with their time and money
- tend to be accepting about people and not judgmental
- tries hard not to say bad things about other people
- practical/pragmatic
- has no problem saying sorry if they think they hurt another person
NEGATIVES:
- tend to either not know or not care about the consequences of their actions
- can be very laid-back
- can be bad in handling finances
- always have to be with someone (doesn't matter what they do so as long as they're with someone)
- tend to not have long-term goals
- can be very literal and not take things on a deeper level
- don't like conflict so they tend to be insincere and try to be nice (they then blow off their steam by talking behind people's back)
- can be needy and manipulative
- "out of sight, out of mind"
- tendency to lie/mask what they think is right for fear of disapproval
- tendency to be irresponsible
Whew!.. Don't know about you guys, but this list is very accurate for the ESFPs that I know and am close to.. still love my esfp friends though..
