ESFP – The Actor

Content

Take the test: MBTI - Big Five (OCEAN)

Portrait

ESFPs love people and new experiences. They are lively, fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now. They have very strong interpersonal skills and can often find themselves in a peacemaker role. They are generally very friendly and concerned about the well-being of others. They are usually very generous and warm.

ESFPs are optimistic and fun-loving. They tend not to consider the long-term consequences of their actions. To them, the whole world is a stage. They are constantly putting on a show for others. They would like life to be nothing more than a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.

ESFPs love people, and everyone loves ESFPs. They are optimistic and enthusiastic. They are warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as such. However, once they are upset, they can become very resentful.

Under stress, ESFPs can be overwhelmed by negative thoughts, to which they are not accustomed. They try to explain them by very simple general considerations, which do not really answer the problem but which at least have the merit of relieving them.

ESFPs are practical, yet dislike fixed structures and routine. They like to let go, confident in their ability to improvise in any situation. They learn best through practice, rather than through book study. If they haven't developed some of their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations that involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or that are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, they may have difficulty in school. On the other hand, they are very strong in situations where they can learn by interacting with others, or in which they learn on the job.

ESFPs have a keen sense of aesthetics. If they can afford it, they will own a beautiful, artfully appointed home. They are likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and wine.

ESFPs feel strong connections to other people, children, and animals, more than most other types.

ESFPs love life and know how to have fun. They are flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and generally kind. They get a lot of pleasure out of life, but they must be careful of its pitfalls.

Career

ESFPs enjoy working in teams. Not only do they not create problems or issues, but they also create the most enjoyable environment possible for the task at hand. Their ideal careers are those where they can use their social skills. Since they enjoy new experiences, they should choose careers that offer or require a lot of variety.

Possible careers

Relationships

ESFPs are fun, live for the moment, and know how to make the most of every moment. They are genuinely interested in people. They are usually very kind and generous. They dislike theory and complexity. They avoid relationships that require them to operate on an Intuitive or Thinking level. They prefer things to be light and happy.

  • Down to earth, practical

  • Difficulty making long-term commitments
  • Does not pay enough attention to own needs
  • Tendency to neglect one's health, or even abuse it
  • Always excited about something new, they may change partners often

Romantic relationships

ESFPs love love and will try to make the most of every moment. They take things day by day and are uncomfortable thinking too much about the future or making plans in advance. For this reason, they do not like long-term commitments. This is a potential trap for them, as they may bounce from one relationship to the next, never settling down.

Sexually, ESFPs are sensual and live in the moment. They are generous, warm, and enjoy making their partners happy.

ESFPs do not handle conflict well. They take any kind of criticism very personally and see it as a general indictment of their character. They may react with anger and harsh words that they later regret. ESFPs can grow by viewing criticism constructively, rather than destructively. If they can hear criticism without feeling personally threatened, they will have come a long way toward healthy relationships.

ESFPs say things in a blunt and direct manner and can sometimes come across as quite harsh unintentionally. They like to be communicated with in a concrete and factual manner. Discussions about the future or the past are not ESFPs' strong point. When they discover that the discussion is not about an immediate concern, they lose interest.

ESFPs are very warm and generous. They just want to be happy and bring happiness to others. They are energetic and popular people who will liven up the couple's social life.

The ESFP's natural partner is theISTJ or theISFJ.

As parents

The ESFPS' light-hearted attitude extends to raising their children. They are warm, affectionate and caring. They like to do things on a grand scale and enjoy their family.

ESFPs believe that too much structure or discipline is not a good thing. If this trait is strong, and not balanced by a spouse, it can be a problem because children need structure throughout their upbringing.

ESFPs take care of their children's daily needs, even though they are casual and their lives are busy.

Having difficulty with the authoritarian role, they prefer to be their children's friend. However, they expect to receive respect and, if necessary, they can adopt a more authoritarian role. This can be frustrating for some children who then no longer know what to expect from their parent.

Their children see them as fun, optimistic, affectionate and somewhat scattered.

As friends

ESFPs are enthusiastic and popular. People are naturally drawn to them. They are appreciated for their genuine interest in others. They are extremely in tune with their five senses and can be prone to overloading them with too much alcohol, food, or medication. They get along with all sorts of people, although they are less likely to spend time with people they find boring or who communicate on the Intuitive or Thinking side. Some people disapprove of the pleasure-oriented lifestyle. Others may be turned off by their very "cash" way of speaking. ESFPs mostly spend time with other extroverts who have a Feeling preference, although they may have a special place in their hearts for people of any preference.

Financial independence

ESFPs, with their artistic, social, day-to-day side, have no interest in or skills for financial independence. If you are an ESFP and have read this far, that's already pretty good. If you want more, come and chat with other members on the forum.

  1. Not bad at all. I recognize myself in this description. However, I have learned to become financially forward-thinking. I would also like to take criticism less to heart.

      1. I did the test on Mbti and the result is ESFP.
        I agree overall, even on the financial side, I don't like routine, I need to learn new things, I need to move physically, to be surrounded by my family and animals and then by nature.

        By dint of being there too much for my friends, once you stop making contact with them, I realized that you don't get in touch anymore so I don't really have any friends anymore, I only stay with my family and my partner and his family.

        However, I am not at all resentful and I do not like crowds, I do not need to be the center of the world.
        And I'm torn at times, I prefer solitude to being with people.
        I like to talk but having worked in a large retail outlet in a shopping centre for 4 years and having suffered a burnout... I am someone who has become very solitary... I hate customers, noise and I have lost confidence in myself, because I find myself more in my personality.

  2. Totally me except for the financial plan where I am a real ant. Always a nest egg never caught off guard.
    As for taking everything to heart, that's a real problem, it's borderline paranoid, always the impression of being a target.

  3. some things are completely false, I am not frivolous at all, it is quite the opposite, I do not particularly like parties (moreover when I was young I never went out), on the other hand I take things to heart and cry, but I manage to manage now...

  4. The test tells real truths about my deep being and I was really touched by the insight of what I said! Thank you with all my heart.

  5. I don't feel like I match the test 100/100, however there are correspondences. I don't have a keen sense of aesthetics and I don't aspire to have a beautiful and big house etc. I'm more of a homebody, partying, crowds don't reflect me in any way. There are character traits, similarities, correspondences, certainly.
    I think that each person can find themselves in the 16 personalities. A bit like the horoscope. Thank you, I enjoyed doing this test.

  6. Everything is true except for the choice of professions and some small points but hey. This test is a success

    1. What career would you have chosen?

      I am currently retraining and I took the test but I don't know what career to choose.

  7. Absolutely me on the other hand on the susceptible side I work on it I did therapy it is a lack of self-confidence, I felt judged ceitic I practiced the eft very good theory of liberation of emotions and on my renqunier side I also worked on it, in recovery we take back the reins of our life I recommend it to everyone

  8. I validate at 98%, excellent test, too true the aspect where I take everything to heart and very often on the skin of the victim but hey we work there lol.

  9. I agree with this test which matches my personality
    I am currently experiencing a professional failure because of envious and jealous people who worked to make me leave. I stayed on the spot myself and didn't pay attention. I am at home grinding and I regret not having been smarter to keep my job. I invested myself with the entire company except for the two vipers who unfortunately ultimately had a lot more influence on the boss than I would have thought. Finally, our loving personality can be detrimental to us when we have people around us who have failed in life.
