ESFP
Basic Habits of Mind
Extraverted Sensing makes ESFPs aware of the concrete details and realistic circumstances of a situation. Due to the influence of Introverted Feeling, they seek out connections to people and people-related things in their environment. Eager to enjoy the moment, Extraverted Sensing types seek out direct experiences. Introverted Feeling is used to decide the acceptability of circumstances and the way to approach people. They usually move easily among many different types of people and situations.
Introverted Thinking and Introverted Intuiting also help ESFPs. Introverted Thinking contributes a talent for finding the most direct, concrete solutions to problems. Introverted Intuiting gives insight as to the probable outcomes of choices.
This combination sometimes is misunderstood as non-strategic and too soft to make “tough decisions.”
