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 group of participants with ESFJ or ENFJ personality type preferences. I put people who have these preferences together because they share a dominant function of Extraverted Feeling (Fe).

The illustration focuses on people and their emotional states. ESFJs and ENFJs are often in tune with how people are responding and are interested in validating, supporting, and encouraging others.

They also show, through the checklist, their interest in having structure and getting things done. People with these preferences usually prefer to accomplish their goals in a way that works well for all of the people involved.

Harmony and loyalty are often key considerations for ESFJs and ENFJs.

You may also enjoy looking at how other ESFJ or ENFJ groups have completed this illustration of type exercise.

If you are interested in seeing how people with different type preferences complete this exercise, check out the Illustrations of Type series.
