=============================================================================
Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging
by Joe Butt (jabutt@sacam.oren.ortn.edu)
Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous
entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in
giving, especially where custom prescribes.
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly
and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs,
bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service
(which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.
ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be
contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often
exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the
vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into
moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.
Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and
wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. This
sometimes results in swift, immediate action taken upon a transgressor,
followed by stern reprimand; ultimately, however, the prodigal is wrested
from the gallows of their folly, just as the noose tightens and all hope is
lost, by the very executioner!
An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be
made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs),
there ensues a one-man wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-
white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against
self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to
forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner
take all.
As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements
without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a
dangerous place, not to be trusted. Not that the ESFJ is paranoid; 'hyper-
vigilant' would be more precise. And thus they serve excellently as
protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary
education.
