My Personality

Life as an ESFP
(Extravert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver)

People of this type tend to be: warm, gregarious, and playful; impulsive, curious, and talkative; sensitive, caring, and gentle; social and unpredictable with a great zeal for life; active, responsive, and highly aware of the physical world.

The most important thing to ESFPs is freedom to be spontaneous, have fun, and enjoy the company of others.


Parenting ESFPs
The Joys and Challenges of Raising ESFPs:
They are happy-go-lucky, playful, and high spirited, but may also be distractible, disorganized, and impulsive. While they are affectionate, sensitive, and responsive, they tend to see only the good in others so they may be easily hurt or manipulated.

What works with ESFPs:
patiently model moderation and distract them from misbehavior by letting them help
give them very specific directions and instructions: show them what you mean
accept their need to be physically active and don't expect them to be able to sit still for more than a few minutes
Parents of ESFPs: they'll know you really love them when you...throw a surprise appreciation party for them.
