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 a combined ESFJ and ENFJ group. The warm, responsive, caring approach is seen in the color, images, and words they chose to describe themselves. More interested in connecting and finding common ground, they chose not to focus on or mention their differences.

I enjoy the drawings of hands, which can represent helping, reaching out, action, or interaction; concepts often associated with those who share a dominant function of Extraverted Feeling (Fe).

You may find it interesting to look at and compare how other groups with ESFJ or ENFJ preferences complete the activity.
