ESFJ description:

ESFJ is a person who:

E (extraverted) — is energized by new events, actions, and people
S (sensing) — values facts and specifics
F (feeling) — trusts feelings in making decisions
J (judging) — prefers a structured and planned life
ESFJs are reliable and responsible. Their activities are aimed at satisfying the interests of others. People are a priority for them. ESFJs often take care of the younger generation and others, so they are called Teachers. They have organizational talent and the ability to please people.

Teachers are responsive and always ready to help. They like to work in the field of caring for other people and do everything possible to make everyone happy. At the same time, they are genuinely interested in people's lives and are often ready to do more for others than they are asked to do. It is important for Teachers to feel warm in their relationships, to feel valued, and to receive support and approval for their actions. The ability to empathize and accurately understand the emotions of others gives ESFJs the gift of being endearing and convincing. It is important for Teachers that people accept and appreciate them for who they are. Praise-dependent Teachers too often expect external approval. They should work to be more self-sufficient.

ESFJs create an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation in the team. You can easily imagine them as the organizer of an event, festival, or exhibition. People are happy to be around Teachers. Often, people shift their problems and tasks to responsive Teachers.
ESFJ statistics in the world:
  • 9% of the general population
  • 11% of women
  • 6% of men
A clear moral code and well-established values determine the behavior and expectations of ESFJs from others. They organize their own time well and are attentive and respectful of other people's time and commitments. Being themselves devoted to the family and the organization in which they work, they expect the same in return and are very disappointed if others fail to fulfill their obligations, break the rules and agreements, or let them down.

Teachers are very practical people who value knowledge about health, safety, and financial stability. They do not like abstract concepts that are far from practical implementation. ESFJs like a well-structured work environment and the presence of rules and instructions. They prefer organization and planning, as well as value clarity, predictability, and stability. Focusing on current tasks, they are very attentive to details but neglect the perspective vision. Taking into account the long-term possibility and planning long-term goals, Teachers will bring previously unfulfilled opportunities into their lives.

ESFJs respect authority and hierarchical structure. They pay a lot of attention to their appearance and take great care of their social status. They tend to control colleagues, children, and family members and are skeptical of changes and innovations until they are convinced of their objective necessity. Some conservatism and adherence to the known do not allow them to apply the latest trends and innovations in their work.

ESFJ personality type qualities are traditionally inherent in women. However, ESFJ men are also quite common. They are very masculine but sensual.

The ability to say "no." The inability to refuse favors or delegate tasks leads to the fact that ESFJs take on many obligations that they may not able to fully implement.

Healthy selfishness. ESFJs often focus on meeting other people's needs and forget about their desires. At the same time, they are very upset if they do not receive adequate recognition and gratitude.

Flexibility. Established values prevent ESFJs from listening to opinions that contradict their own.
