ESFP: Monkey's hedonism and playfulness

ESFP is an optimist, smiling all day long, with a big heart, as if there is nothing to worry about, and sometimes likes to show off. For them, life is to feel happy.

ESFP has the characteristics of a monkey, full of energy, likes to play around, and is naughty and funny.

1. Personality traits

ESFP is the happy fruit in the circle, and also a child who never grows up. Famous people with this personality include American actress Marilyn Monroe. ESFP personality accounts for about 11% of the world's population, and the order of use of the eight-dimensional cognitive functions is: Se, Fi, Te, Ni, Si, Fe, Ti, Ne.

ESFP has unlimited energy. They are always lively and active in their thinking. They have strong adaptability, can quickly integrate into various environments, and get along well with people around them. ESFP is always happy, lives a carefree life, and unconsciously affects the people around them. Many people will be infected by the happiness factor of ESFP and want to be friends with them.

ESFPs are good at hands-on work and prefer to do hands-on work rather than thinking with their brains. When they were students, they would prefer to do courses such as chemistry experiments. Most ESFPs like outdoor activities and do not like to be alone for a long time.

ESFPs have a poor sense of time and are very bad at managing their daily routines. They are often late. If you want them to keep time, you may have to involve some interests.

ESFPs are not very strict with their mouths. They like to tell everyone about something they know, and they don’t care about it. They often make it known to everyone. Sometimes it is their vanity that is at work. In short, it is difficult to keep a secret for them. If it is a major matter, it is better not to tell ESFPs.

ESFPs usually don’t have complicated thoughts and have no interest in psychology and human nature. That is why they can live so freely and happily, because they don’t think about those tedious things and block things that make them unhappy. To a certain extent, ESFPs are more "superficial". They just want to experience real happiness and are a bit heartless.

ESFPs don't like to face troubles, but if they have troubles, they can still communicate and solve them. They are not avoidant personalities, which makes them more active than ENFPs.

2. Interpersonal relationships

ESFPs like to chat with all kinds of people and like to be the focus, which makes them excited. ESFPs also like to stand up for their friends, but this is not because they value friendship, but because they want to show off. ESFPs are born performative and will unconsciously show different attitudes in front of different people. Sometimes they give people the feeling of being two-faced, which makes people doubt their sincerity in interpersonal communication.

When you first meet ESFPs, you will feel that they are very similar to ENFPs, with good interpersonal relationships, no temper, and very easy-going, but over time you will find the essential difference between ESFPs and ENFPs - ENFPs are spiritual and have a certain depth of soul, while ESFPs pay more attention to the current experience and feelings, value immediate fun, and are unwilling to talk about heavy topics.

It is easy to get along with ESFPs. As long as you can play and laugh with them, most people can feel relaxed and happy if they are not close friends. They also like to listen to flattery, and it is their daily routine to make fun of each other with friends.

3. Hobbies and Preferences

ESFPs like to travel very much, which is almost their top 1 hobby. They can meet all kinds of people and things during travel, explore the beauty of this world, and bring them a lot of happiness. They like escape rooms, adventures, and self-driving tours. As long as they can interact with others and have fun together, they will actively participate.

ESFPs are very curious and curious about all kinds of new things. From small sports to big extreme sports, they can be seen in almost all fun activities. Some ESFPs like group sports very much. They can have fun and make friends. Why not?

ESFPs don’t have any very elegant sentiments, but just like all kinds of popular fun. They are not suitable for overly restrained occasions such as concerts and academic conferences. It’s too uncomfortable for them to sit for a whole morning.

Fourth, Survival and Emotion

ESFP is suitable for industries that deal with people, such as sales, business planning, athletes, etc. However, ESFP has poor management ability and is not suitable for being a business manager. They are quite serious and hardworking at work, and they are lively and funny by nature, so they are easy to please their superiors - the superiors are also human, who doesn't like to work with relaxed and happy people? ESFP is the type of person who can't get angry at him in the workplace, because they are really smart. ESFP is also a fool with good luck, and their academic and career luck are always good, and they can always meet noble people to help them. ESFP's ability to withstand pressure is also good, and they are more likely to resolve pressure by themselves, so they won't be miserable when they are under a little pressure.

ESFP has good relationships with the opposite sex and has many suitors. You can have fun with them in love, but it will take a long time to get used to it before you can get married to an ESFP. It is easy for N-type personality and ESFP to maintain a pseudo-intimate relationship in love. Apart from the happiness brought by the outside world, there is no deep communication. Moreover, because they are too playful and have a weak sense of responsibility, they usually cannot withstand the test of reality. ESFP cannot hide anything in love. Although they have their own little thoughts, they are easily discovered by their partner. ESFP is also easy to be harsh to their own people and please outsiders. They are a little selfish in love, a baby who never grows up, and they like to sulk and need to be coaxed. If you want to develop a long-term relationship with ESFP, you should consider whether you can accept their selfishness and childishness. If something goes wrong, you will probably have to bear it yourself. If you can accept such a relationship, it is still very happy to be with them.

ESFP does not have high requirements for external appearance when choosing a partner. It is enough to meet the passing line. They value the other party to be loyal to themselves more. ESFP needs a stable, thoughtful and patient partner to make up for their own shortcomings in this aspect and give themselves a little restraint. They will eventually choose an ISFJ or ISTJ partner. On the one hand, ISFJ/ISTJ is relatively independent, can handle their own affairs, will not cause too much trouble to ESFP, and is patient enough. ESFP and them are icing on the cake; on the other hand, ISFJ/ISTJ's life lacks some fun, and ESFP can just meet this point. In particular, ISFJ's maternal personality can best tolerate ESFP's immaturity. N-type personality is a bit bitter and vengeful in the eyes of ESFP, and is not suitable for long-term development.
