ESFP Compatibility

ESFPs tend to get along well with INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ, and ISFJ types, which may be a case of opposites attracting. The "judging" nature of these types often complements the practical side of ESFPs.

Key ESFP Characteristics

• They are practical and resourceful. ESFPs prefer to learn through hands-on experience and tend to dislike book learning and theoretical discussions. Because of this, students with ESFP personality types sometimes struggle in traditional classroom settings. However, they excel in situations where they are allowed to interact with others or learn through direct experience.
• They figure things out as they go along. ESFPs live very much in the here and now and sometimes fail to think about how current actions will lead to long-term consequences. They will often rush into a new situation and figure things out as they happen. They also tend to dislike routine, enjoy new experiences and are always looking for a new adventure.
• They are very understanding. ESFPs are perceptive when it comes to other people. They are able to sense what others are feeling and know how to respond. People tend to find them warm, sympathetic, and easygoing.
• They are fun-loving. While ESFPs do not shun the spotlight, they are more interested in simply living in the present and doing what feels right at that moment.
