INTRODUCTION This report presents information to help you make use of your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI®) results. The research-based Myers-Briggs® assessment identifies sixteen different personality types that can be used to describe people. Learning about these types will help you better understand yourself and others and improve the interactions in your daily life.

Based on your responses to the MBTI assessment, your personality type is

Based on the work of psychologist Carl Jung, the MBTI assessment was developed with great care by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, who spent years observing human behavior. Their ideas help explain why people are interested in different things, like different kinds of work, and sometimes find it hard to understand each other—all due to differences in how they take in information and make decisions about it. Your Interpretive Report will show how your personality type is distinct from other types and how it influences the way you communicate, learn, and work with other people.

This tool has been used for more than 75 years with students around the world to help them

• Choose classes, majors, and careers that match their interests and personality

• Understand different ways to study and learn more effectively and successfully

• Improve communication and teamwork as they gain awareness of the personality differences they see in others

• Manage the stress they may experience as a result of their studies or their relationships

YOUR PREFERENCES AND PERSONALITY TYPE Your personality type is made up of your preferences in four separate categories that together describe how you typically go about noticing and thinking about things and interacting with people and the world. When you completed the assessment, you made choices that reflected your preference in each of the four categories.

THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF PERSONALITY TYPE

Where you focus your attention

The way you take in information

The way you make decisions

How you deal with the world

THE PREFERENCES

Extraversion or

Sensing or

Thinking or

Judging or

Introversion

Intuition

Feeling

S N

J P

Everyone uses all of these preferences, but one in each category is favored and used more often, more comfortably. Think of this like being right-handed or left-handed. Both hands are necessary and useful, but one is naturally favored and used more often, more easily. Similarly, type preferences are choices between equally valuable and useful qualities. Your ESFJ preferences are highlighted below.

Intuition Taking in information by seeing patterns and the big picture, with a focus on future possibilities

Perceiving Taking a flexible, spontaneous approach to life, liking to keep options open

Extraversion Focusing attention on the outer world of people and things

Thinking Making decisions mostly on the basis of logic and objective analysis

Sensing Taking in information through the five senses, with a focus on the here and now

Judging Taking a planned and organized approach to life, liking to have things settled

Introversion Focusing attention on the inner world of ideas and impressions

Feeling Making decisions mostly on the basis of values and subjective, people-centered concerns

YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE DESCRIPTION

An ESFJ is likely to be…

KEY DESCRIPTORS

• Cooperative

• Helpful

• Loyal

• Realistic

• Practical

• Enthusiastic

• Energetic

• Outgoing

• Orderly

• Organized

• Decisive

• Thorough

Sociable and outgoing, ESFJs radiate warmth and energy. They like to organize people and situations. They are loyal and conscientious, following through even in small matters. They want to be appreciated for themselves and for what they give to others. They value security and stability.

ESFJs base their decisions on their strong values, which they express clearly and confidently when they think it is appropriate. They are genuinely interested in the lives and concerns of others and are energized by interpersonal interactions. Conflict makes them uncomfortable and they strive to get others to work together in harmony. For the sake of harmony, ESFJs agree with others when they can. They are encouraged by approval and hurt by indifference and unkindness.

ESFJs focus on the present facts and experience. They are sensitive to the needs of others and good at providing practical caring. They get much enjoyment and satisfaction from attending to the comfort and pleasure of people around them. They also enjoy and take good care of their material possessions.

ESFJs feel most comfortable in structured situations and adapt well to routine. They enjoy working with others to complete tasks accurately and on time. They prefer to follow traditional and accepted methods of doing things. They value family and social ties and enjoy belonging to a group and celebrating traditions.

ESFJs learn better by talking and interacting with others rather than by studying or reading. They are not interested in classes that demand impersonal analysis of abstract ideas, so traditional academic programs may be a challenge. They want to apply their learning to helping others and tend to choose majors in the human services.

ESFJs have two potential blind spots. First, if they fail to take in enough information, they may jump to conclusions before they fully understand a situation. Second, they may be tentative and uncertain about their decisions and accept the judgments of others too quickly. They need to look at all the relevant facts and then reflect on how those facts relate to their values so that they act accordingly and with confidence.

YOUR UNIQUE PREFERENCE PATTERN Your personality type is much more than a simple combination of your four preferences. Each type has its own unique preference pattern that helps explain why what’s easy or interesting for one type is difficult or dull for another. The key to understanding your unique pattern is found in the two middle letters of your four-letter type code. Those two letters show which of four mental processes you prefer.

Sensing or

Thinking or

Intuition

Feeling

S N

T F

The pattern also shows whether you use your #1, or favorite, process in the outer world of people and things, that is, in an Extraverted way, or whether you use it in your inner world of ideas and impressions, in an Introverted way. Here’s what this means for your type, ESFJ.

You use your #1 process, Feeling, in the outer world of people and things, where it is most easily observed by others because you express it outwardly. You use your #2 process, Sensing, in your inner world of ideas and impressions, where it is much less observable by others. You also use Intuition and Thinking, but with less frequency and ease. Thinking is the process you are most likely to overlook.

#1 Feeling Most preferred

#3 Intuition Third

#2 Sensing Second

#4 Thinking Least preferred

#1 Feeling Used in the outer world #2 Sensing Used in the inner world

Everyone uses all four of the mental processes, but each type has its own pattern that signals which of the four is favorite and most used, and which is second, third, and least favorite and used. People tend to focus on their #1 and #2 processes in the first half of life and become more interested in developing and using #3 and #4 in the second half of life. Your ESFJ pattern is shown below.

Your type description takes all these patterns into account in describing your typical behavior in everyday life. Review this description carefully to see how it measures up to your self-knowledge. If when you read the description you feel comfortably understood, then the four-letter type in this report is probably right for you. The description is meant to help you trust and develop the preferences that come most naturally to you, but remember that you use all eight preferences some of the time, depending on the circumstances.

CLARITY OF YOUR PREFERENCES The MBTI assessment not only reports your preferences based on the way you responded to the questions but also tells how clear you were in selecting each preference over its opposite. This is called the preference clarity index, or pci. The graph below depicts your pci results in each of the four categories. The longer the bar, the more clearly you expressed that preference over its opposite; the shorter the bar, the less sure you are about that preference. Do your choices seem on target for you?

If Your ESFJ Pattern Doesn’t Seem Quite Right

People’s personalities are much too complex to be fully accounted for by a single set of questions on a personality assessment, no matter how well researched those questions might be. If your type description doesn’t seem quite right for you, consider the following:

• When you answered the MBTI questions, what was your frame of mind? Did you choose the responses that came most easily and naturally to you, reflecting your most natural, true self? Or did you respond in ways you thought you should respond, or in ways you felt others would want you to? If your responses did not reflect your most natural, true self, then your description may not quite fit.

• Was it hard for you to make a choice when responding to some of the questions? If so, perhaps that helps account for why you feel your results don’t accurately reflect your true personality. What if the choice had gone the other way? What letter in your type might change?

• If your responses were those that came most easily to you and reflected your most natural self, yet the description does not seem to fit you well, can you find a type that describes you better? Use the Introduction to Myers-Briggs ® Type booklet to review descriptions of each of the sixteen types and talk to your counselor to help you find the type that fits you best.
