In my MBTI® Certification workshops participants respond to the instruction -“Describe your type using words, phrases, or pictures.” I find these visual representations of type preferences help illustrate individual differences.
Here is a photo of a response from an ESFJ group.
This group offers a description of their preferences that is personal and provides concrete and practical examples. The emphasis is clearly on being with and cherishing people (shining sun). You can see how the people in this group are hurt and dismayed by negative interpersonal interactions (storm cloud). The SJ aspects of their preferences show up in the description of the importance of facts, plans, and schedules.
This is the third ESFJ poster in the Illustrations of Type series.
You may also want to look at the first ESFJ illustration and the second ESFJ illustration.
