Signs That You're An ESFJ Personality Type. Number 1 - You enjoy being in the spotlight
ESFJs as performers are extremely likable and are often seen as the social butterflies of the
personality world. There might be occasions when they feel a little nervous in public,
but by practicing and learning they are able to overcome this feeling. ESFJs as performers
are charismatic and friendly people, who know how to take charge of the room. They like to be
the leader or the decision maker and by taking the spotlight they lead their teams forward to victory
or the community to the aimed goal. ESFJs like to be organizers of social events for their families,
friends and communities. They are usually the life of the party and they enjoy being
the center of attention however they also like listening to what other people have to say.
Number 2 - You appreciate other people a lot
Consuls are altruists, and they take seriously their responsibility to help and to do the right
thing. The ESFJ loves to serve, so long as they know they are valued and appreciated,
which makes them loyal and devoted partners, colleagues, and friends. In general, ESFJs are
enthusiastic and eager to help others, and often feel responsible for their needs. They often put
business before pleasure, especially when it comes to taking care of others -- a trait that
makes them more serious and practical. ESFJs like hearing about their friends' relationships and
activities. Their attention to detail and genuine sensitivity makes them the perfect listeners.
In the event of a conflict within their group, ESFJs do everything possible to restore harmony.
Consuls are naturally geared toward understanding other people. Observant and empathetic,
they excel at supporting and encouraging others to reach their full potential. Yet they often
see things in terms of black and white, right and wrong, and they aren't shy about expressing
how they view other people very directly. Number 3 - You are an organization enthusiast
ESFJs have a strong desire to exert control over their environment. The ability to plan, organize,
and schedule helps people with this personality feel in control of their surroundings. Consuls are
usually pretty conflict-averse, and they prefer planned and organized events over spontaneous
gatherings. In addition, ESFJs really enjoy when people do appreciate the efforts they make.
A person with this personality type devotes a lot of energy to pursue things they have arranged,
and they can get hurt if their ideas are rejected or if people don't show interest.
Consuls should also keep in mind that everyone comes from different backgrounds,
and that a lack of interest isn't a reflection on themselves or the activity they organized.

Number 4 - You have high expectations from people The ESFJ has a clear moral code that dictates how
they behave and what they expect from others. The way people should act and what is proper to do
often stand in the way of their opinions. ESFJs, however, tend to follow tradition and community
morality to determine what is right. ESFJs are often fascinated by behaviors and social codes.
Sometimes, they can be judgmental of others they think are not acting appropriately because they
see the world in black and white, but they have the best of intentions: they simply want everybody
to follow the rules so everyone can get along. At the end Consuls just want things to be all right
with the people around them, and may become very involved with others' problems and concerns.
Number 5 - You are super supportive in your romantic relationships
Because Consuls value social approval and feeling like they belong, romantic relationships are
particularly important to them. A strong romantic relationship is extremely warm and supportive, and
it offers a sense of security and stability that is completely within the ESFP personality type.
Consuls' relationships are characterized by mutual needs,
from building a common understanding to supporting one another's interests and goals.
Being loved and appreciated has a profound impact on a Consul's mood and self-confidence.
When facing hardship, ESFPs can be surprisingly tough and tireless, but it is essential that
they are certain they have 100% support from their partners. Consuls can feel
extremely hurt when they don't feel that support, such as when their partners criticize them.
The goal of their relationships is marriage and family - they don't do casual flings - and they
must know that their partners will always be by their side, offering unwavering support.
Because ENFPs are centered around the physical world and are quite emotional, they are usually
very affectionate and sensual, and therefore they are great romantic partners overall.
Number 6 - You are a loyal friend to a wide circle of people
The majority of Consuls have a very social personality and are willing to spend a
great deal of time and effort maintaining relationships with their close friends.
The ESFP personality type is someone who always tries to make sure their friends are happy,
and they're very comfortable when it comes to introducing themselves, small talk, but also
long discussions about more complicated things. Consuls tend to expect their friends to never do
anything wrong, supporting them in every situation regardless of the circumstances and expecting
the same in return. It's important to relate to and understand people of different backgrounds,
and it's especially important for ESFPs. They make a lot of acquaintances and friends through their
energy, social intelligence, and their dedication to keeping those friendships close and strong.
A Consul is known for being loyal and warm, and they provide constant support and encouragement
to friends no matter what and most of those friendships last a long time.
Number 7 - You are obsessed with your social status
Consul`s social status is a chief concern because that is how they see themselves. The ESFJs are
more likely to focus on their own personal influence over what's happening in the wider world
due to this perspective. Their decisions are based on how they believe others will perceive them.
It can limit their creativity and open-mindedness in part because they
are preoccupied with social status and influence, which can affect their decision-making skills.
Armed with a strong sense of duty, exceptional altruism and true loyalty and honesty,
Consuls can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. On a personal level,
the ESFJ who reduces the constant need for the perfect social status and becomes more flexible
in different areas has everything in his or her power to lead a rich and rewarding life.
