Compassionate Responders balance their approach of immediate action with an internal focus on personal values. The resulting combination leads to an awareness of people’s immediate needs and a playful, considerate disposition.
The following list describes typical characteristics and preferences of people who prefer ESFP. Identify the items that are true for you so you can seek work that suits who you are.
