I think she is. Here's a snapshot of her:

extroverted. The kind that will pick up the phone to call someone if she's not asleep, tired, or talking to someone else at the moment.
Can be histrionic even though this has tapered off greatly with age.
Prone to drama. This was really bad when she was younger.
Prone to "losing friends" over some really crazy stuff, e.g. not going to a birthday party when invited.
Kinda image conscious. Very much wants to look nice and have nice (expensive) things.
Very bad with money.
Oddly generous and selfish at the same time.
Lots of bark with absolutely no bite.
Extremely intelligent, sharp wit, and prone to noticing everything but it only occupies her attention for a fleeting moment before she flits off to the next thing.
Can be highly competitive. Prone to engaging in one-upmanship.

What say ye? Did I get her right as an ESFP?

Hell...I mean to write "Is My Sister an ESFP" Can a mod fix that please?
I blame it on my fatigue and sore neck.

yeah, the part about being generous and selfish all the time reminds me of esfp's i've known especially.

I think she's an ESXP, but there's not enough information for me to determine F vs T.

Funny, I know two ESFPs who are strangely generous and selfish at the same time, and that intrigues me... Maybe that's an ESFP thing?

She sounds a lot like my ESFP sister, especially the bolded bits! :laugh:

It's kind of sad that she wants so badly to be rich, but because she is so so SOOOOO SOOOOO bad with money, and because she doesn't have the attention span for anything that could make more than minimum wage or the responsibility to manage any money that comes her way, it's never going to happen.

If it wasn't so sad, it would be hilarious how she and her husband manage their money with their 5 kids. :shocking:

(like buying fancy TVs to put in each of the young kids' bedrooms instead of paying the bills, and consequently having their heat and phone cut off in the winter, seriously....)
