For ESFJs the dominant
quality in their lives is an active and intense
caring about people and a strong desire to bring
harmony into their relationships.ESFJs bring an aura of warmth to all that
they do, and they naturally move into action to
help others, to organize the world around them,
and to get things done.Sensing orients their feeling to current
facts and realities, and thus gives their feeling
a hands-on pragmatic quality.ESFJs take their work seriously and believe
others should do so as well.
