- "Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and
- having *fun*. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost
- always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work,
- and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these 'people'
- people.
-
- SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of
- my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching
- here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but
- will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece
- of information to another. It's really quite fascinating.
-
- New! ESFPs are attracted to new ideas, new fashions, new gadgets,
- new ______. (I once had two ESFPs volunteer for a Greek class because
- it sounded like fun! However, both dropped out in a couple of weeks.)
- Perhaps it's the newness of life that attracts ESFPs to elementary
- education, especially to preschool and kindergarten.
-
- ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful
- storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects
- their mischievous benevolence.
-
- Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty
- minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question.
