“The Entertainer” — that's the nickname for this personality type, and it pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Fun-loving, charming, vivacious, and a little bit impulsive, the ESFP epitomizes the life of the party.
ESFP characteristics
ESFPs are naturally curious and have an eye for aesthetics. They enjoy changing their environment to better reflect how they feel. Though they are spontaneous and playful, "The Performer" personality always has a listening ear to those in need.
ESTPs and ENFJs have personality traits most conducive to life satisfaction and happiness. Both types enjoy being around people, are optimistic, have a great sense of humor, and are always up for trying new things.
INTP. INTPs are also among the most unique and rare Myers-Briggs types, accounting for around 3.3 percent of people in the U.S., according to Ball State. They have the ability to be intuitive thinkers, but the fact that they can go with the flow, adapt, and be flexible is what makes them stand out.
ESTPs are sometimes referred to as Dynamo personalities because of their high-energy, active approach to life.
ESFJs also tend to put others first and prioritize others' needs above their own. They "are kind and warm," Gonzalez-Berrios explains. "Sometimes, they will leave aside their comforts and put forth their support to those who need it dearly."
1 ENFJ stands for extraverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging, with each component representing different MBTI categories. People with ENFJ personality type are often described as warm, outgoing, loyal, and sensitive. Some other types are known by the acronyms ESFJ, ENFP, INFP, ISFJ, and INTP.
INTJs are often seen as cold-hearted, detached, and objective—but they only appear as such on the outside. That's because they're not reactive, meaning they don't show emotion in front of those they don't know well.
Introverted Feeling (Fi), by contrast, is an intrapersonal function. Whenever possible, it prefers to handle emotional issues inwardly and independently. This is why ISFPs, who use Fi as their dominant function, are among the least talkative of all types.
INFJ personalities are often seen as those quiet, sensitive types who are easily upset and seem to take everything personally.
ENFJ. One of the most positive Myers-Briggs types is the ENFJ, or those who are extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. "Known for their optimism and upbeat personality, ENFJs are known for being fun to be around and for being idealist organizers who want to create a better way," Owens says.
INFP and INFJ: The Overthinkers
When it comes to these types, their anxiety can stem from an inclination to overthinking. Psychology Today defines overthinking as “an excessive tendency to monitor, evaluate, and attempt to control all types of thought,” something this INFJ knows all too well.
ISTP personality types are calm, efficient and productive, and are open to new opportunities.
The ESTP. Probably one of the most flirtatious personality types, ESTPs are not afraid to show their interest in someone with direct and often bold moves. They're excellent at reading body language and they know how to send out the right signals that will make them stand out from the crowd.
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.
People with an INTP personality type tend to be extremely analytical, objective, and logical in their behavior. They love exploring new theories and ideas, which means they're often responsible for amazing discoveries in their field of choice.
INFP. INFPs have a unique way of living their lives, and they don't appreciate you critiquing it. "They'll feel awkward when someone questions who they love, how they think, or what their goals are—whether that's starting a business, or traveling the world as a wandering nomad," Owens says.
ENTJs appear confident, business-like, and visionary in their speech. They tend to think out loud, and this is because extraverted thinking, their dominant process, needs to externalize thoughts, write them, or diagram them in some way in order to process them effectively.
Of all the personality types, Assertive Protagonists (ENFJ-A) were the most likely to feel comfortable with small talk (89%).

Sweetness is actually a deceptive metric for MBTI types. Outwardly, you can expect the Fe-types (xxFJ) to be very sweet. You can expect the xxTJ types (low Fi and even lower Fe) to be less sweet.
ISFP at a glance
ISFPs are devoted helpers, but they don't seek recognition for their efforts. They're carefree and easygoing, and they dislike being tied down by strict routines, rules, or structures.
The ESFPs Relationship with Food
They tend to be natural foodies, since new flavors and tastes stimulate their dominant Extraverted Sensing (Se).
Compassionate: With their strong sense of intuition and emotional understanding, INFJs can be soft-spoken and empathetic.
ISFJs are characteristically humble and unassuming, and rarely call attention to themselves.
