ESFP
2:40 PM
rain rain go away. come again when i'm at home.
training's at 4:30 and i've got nothing to do now. ponned econs lecture just now due to the fact that i left my notes at home. well i left my chem/phy notes at home as well. sometimes i wonder what i come to school for.
it's a bad start for the new year. too slack for my own good. seeing everyone around me mugging like there's no tomorrow, i feel an impending doom. i can't bring myself to do homework anymore. i think i'm addicted to being online. once i reach home i'd turn on the computer and glue myself to my seat for a few hours BEFORE taking out my contact lenses. doubly bad on the eyes.
my junior class is alright. the guys are kinda shy? but the girls seem nice. my angel and mortal are not writing to me at the moment. urgh. i feel offended, considering the amount of time and effort i spent on the letter + gift to my mortal.
well sometimes i think some things don't pay off huh? okay. i'm not referring to the angel-mortal thing. don't mind me. i've been thinking too much, actually. i think i should just let dead people lie. and don't bother. though it's hard. a lot of things aren't as simple as they seem. maybe through the gruelling training i'd received in RV from my history/SS/english lit teachers, i've become a person who tends to think too deep. a person who has to read between the lines when it comes to dialogue or text. a person who makes life difficult for herself by thinking there is an underlying motive/meaning/purpose in everything someone else does/says. bah. i'm like a dog trying to bite my own tail. making myself miserable. but what for? maybe i should learn to let some things go.
ESFP
"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.
(true!)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.
(omg this is MEGA true.)New! ESFPs are
attracted to new ideas, new fashions, new gadgets, new ______. Perhaps it's the newness of life that attracts ESFPs to elementary education, especially to preschool and kindergarten.
(alright, true too.)ESFPs
love to talk to people about people. Some of the most
colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a 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.
(okay what can i say. the whole thing is true.)Functional Analysis:Extraverted Sensing
The dominant function of ESFPs is concerned with the reality that is perceived through the senses. This type's prime directive is to examine the tangible through taste, touch, sight, feeling and hearing. ESFPs' need for new experiences surely results from this function. Feeling gives focus to the collected information, producing the amiable nature of this type. As perceivers, ESFPs do not linger on moral concerns unless it is in service of a Greater Good and/or a unifying cause.
Introverted FeelingFeeling, which tends to decision-making in the interest of individual beings, is auxiliary to sensing. As with all introverted functions, feeling for ESFPs has a surreal, cryptic, quintessential nature. It is more often implied than verbally expressed, more apparent in countenance and deed rather than word or creed. Feeling takes care that playful pokes and pranks do no harm to the victim.
Extraverted ThinkingThis tertiary function is at the ready to give definitive answers when the world requires them. It provides a measure of balance to Introverted Feeling, allowing the ESFP some level of boundary and protection from those who would take advantage. When overused or overestimated, however, Thinking becomes a liability. ESFPs do well to seek out confirmation of the soundness of tough-minded decisions.
Introverted iNtuitionThis function is least visible. As is the nature of the inferior (fourth) function, ESFP intuition lacks a sense of balance. This type seems most successful in deducing patterns and seeing connections only after a thorough examination of the facts (which process appears quite unorganized and haphazard to non-SPs). Although some ESFPs may develop such abilities, the mastery of logic, analysis and abstraction is usually difficult and wearying, and not very much fun.
go try the test! i think it's quite accurate.
