My insights as an ESFP: I use my Se to understand the world in its purist form but only what I can experience with my 5 senses. This can make world affairs seem obsolete. I love interacting with my surroundings to the best of my ability. Se tends to bend reality to its liking instead of completely understanding things first, we prefer to get first hand experience because that is sensation in its truest form.

I spend a lot of time in my Fi - pondering what feels right, it’s a deep inner world where the world seems to stand still. Shuts up the Se and allows me to look inward and understand where I am and how I want to distribute my energy.

Te feels like a vehicle or a car to where I want to go to. It gets things done and child Te also allows me to internalize so much information that I can be like a walking encyclopedia. I may not be the best at thinking things through but I have plenty of observed and studied phenomenon in my repertoire. If I need to get something done, I think of the most effective way of allowing it to manifest, using my Se-Te to get things going.

I like things right in my heart and I like to experience things that feel separate from reality like concerts and I love to perform my musical/artistic abilities not even for others but because I can and it is a challenge.

Inferior Ni is something that knocks us down, I’m not the biggest into substances because I fear for my future. I may not leave the house sometimes because I fear pain in my future if something seems too unsafe I won’t engage because again, I don’t want my future to be fucked up. My Fi usually is the voice of reason and my Ni picks up and that and steers my other functions to the right destination to work toward.

Veering away from reality at hand can feel like a rebellion of what life is about. I experience life to understand myself better. I also have many friends but I also enjoy my alone time because my Fi needs to internalize previous experiences.

I’m not the biggest fan of sensor bias because my Se is very valuable and tends to accomplish what others think and dream too hard about. I prioritize actualizing almost all my ideas or else I feel wasted and disillusioned. This can be an uphill battle because Ni can seem so hazy so I step into Se-Fi-Te to breathe life into new ideas and possibilities as they reveal themselves and with enough force/knocking at the door, the inferior Ni will finally give me an answer as to what it is that needs to be done. Often too late but many skills will have been sharpened and or acquired to allow for a new version of the previous framework that is better than the previous idea. Many Se-Fi actually have so much experience at their disposal but will only show you the best because Te only allows its best work to be shown. If not enough time this type will use boldness to plow through obstacles but at our best, we are unraveling something we have spent a very long time perfecting for ourselves and others get to see it but they don’t understand the Fi under it all and how much emotional weight it means to us. ESFP tend to be performers but there were many years and a lot of hearing “NO” so that’s where we get our “nobody can tell me shit” attitude from.
