About ESFP – ‘The Performer’
ESFPs thrive on new experiences and having a lot of contact with people. Possessing strong people skills, they tend to choose careers that allow them to help people in practical ways and often find themselves in the role of peacemaker. ESFPs enjoy work that is independent, resourceful, and allows them to have plenty of hands-on involvement and see the results of their efforts. They are great communicators, collaborators, and team players. ESFPs make up 8.5 percent of the U.S. population.
