samthecatToday I took a personality test to figure out my Myers-Briggs type. I am an ESFP! The internet tells me that it means I am very popular but not a thinker. I think it is right that I'm popular, but wrong that I'm not a thinker. I have lots of thoughts. They are good thoughts.
But it says that other people with my type are Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Arsenio Hall, Steve Irwin, Elvis, and Christ's disciple Mark. That explains my deep affinity for St. Mark and Elvis. The internet doesn't say, but I think Cary Grant was probably also an ESFP, because I was Cary Grant in my last life.
Food Lady said Keanu Reeves is probably also an ESFP. I do not understand what she is implying. Surely not that I am like Keanu. Because I am Cary Grant.
Today I also ate some floor dirt and a goldfish cracker.

The Performer
As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
ESFPs live in the world of people possibilities. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives.
For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.
ESFPs love people, and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crosesed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.
If an ESFP hasn't developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations which involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP may have difficulty in school.
ESFPs are likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and good wine.
ESFPs usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most other types. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the beauties of nature as well.
The ESFP has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun. They like to bring others along on their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted. They have a special ability to get a lot of fun out of life, but they need to watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the moment.
