A True ESFP

• Your theme is a performance-based one: you’re freedom-loving, and your passion is evoking joy in others, and getting them to chase their worthy dreams.  You are naturally drawn to people and genuinely carry curiosity and empathy for most of whom you encounter.

• Fun-loving, witty, talkative, and upbeat, you are a master of showmanship, entertainment and inspiration.  You can interact with people of all ages, backgrounds or types with no problems.

• You're usually well-liked by others because you're kind and often generous with your time and efforts.

• You're aware of what is going on around you and notice the details that others miss.

• You are the instigators of activity and like to be where the action is.

• You’re immediately put in defensive mode when it comes to conflict or intellectual arguments.

• Even though you like laughing at yourself and others, you enjoy helping others and often join organizations that let you do so.

• You don't enjoy studying by sitting quietly by yourself and reading dull abstract material..."how does it apply to my day-to-day life?!?"

• You know how to motivate others to get the job done without being pushy or overwhelming.  You're good at connecting people and resources to solve problems, and you'd be comfortable working as a coach, therapist, or philosopher, or anywhere else where you could help others and be responsive.

• You like teamwork, and your style is inclusive by allowing others to participate in the decisions...you don't need to steal all of the glory.

 Relationships

• Your friends are VERY important to you, and you probably let them know that on occasion. You might move in or out of a relationship depending on how comfortable it feels.

• You strive to make the best of a bad situation for a long time, even if a relationship is rocky. You're a pretty accommodating person unless you feel you've been exploited.

• You can overwhelm your partner with all your affection, but when there's a breakup, you can move on and get over it quickly, surrounding yourself with your friends.

 Recommendations

• Don't spend too much time socializing and not enough on your responsibilities.

• Don't forget to finish what you start! Learn some time management skills.

• Avoid taking on so much at once that you end up feeling scattered and overextended.

• Remember that not everyone is exciting as you. Don't tell people that they're party poopers because they can't keep up.
