finely tuned sense of other people’s moods, states of mind, and well
being. ESFPs move quickly to take care of those needs in a practical,
concrete and usually fun way.

ESFPs as Team Members
ESFPs can be excellent team members. They
are task-oriented and enjoy group projects. Their goal is to make
projects fun and they accomplish that by streamlining them and doing them with a minimum of stress.
They seem to have fun no matter what the circumstances, although they
can battle periods of depression. |
 ESTPs bring many character traits
that are useful to a team. They are optimistic and bring others along
with their positive view of life. They are easy going and adaptable and deal well with a changing
environment.
They
ensure that the team has fun--often organizing outings or practical
jokes. They are excellent at mobilizing people in the challenging
moments that face organizations. ESFPs are strong communicators.
They are tactful, empathetic and are sympathetic to the circumstances of
others. They can be quite persuasive and help others see the need for
change.
Elvis
Presley,
(1935-1977), is an American icon known world-wide.
Yet peel back the legend, and Presley is an ESFP type who began
a band and always maintained his group of friends around him.
He had the ability to connect with people in a way that made
them think of him as the "ultimate cool."
They are excellent information gatherers and good sources of
information. They excel at communicating the message of the
organization with a positive spin. ESFPs
often find themselves in the role of peacemakers and are good at "damage
control."
What Are ESFP Issues and Challenges in Groups/Best Alliances?
ESFPs seldom plan ahead and trust their ability to find solutions in
close proximity to the time problems arise. They do not enjoy theory or
long-worded documents. They dislike rules and regulations, many of which
they believe get in the way of people and doing. In some situations
these characteristics serve them well, but obviously the ESFP will need
to ally themselves with planful and theoretical types to do long-range
planning and strategies. On teams, they usually excel and make a
difference.
ESFPs and the Rest of Their Lives
ESFPs can make excellent friends, spouses,
and life partners. They love
things domestic and have a special affinity for children. For the ESFP, life is an unfolding experience with people
and events. Children will have creative birthday parties, trips
to theme parks and adventures. If paired with a more theoretical or moody type, the two
will have to be very understanding of each other’s different approach to
life and make creative adaptations. Nonetheless, the ESFP will provide a
framework for fun, family, and community. |
