ESFP's are easy going, spontaneous people who get the most out of each moment. They are rarely at their best in academic settings--for them, school is a place to party. Instead, ESFP's tend to perform better with practical, real-life situations. As writers, they excel at assignments that let them focus on people and in which details (which they love) are important.
Below are some of the advantages and challenges ESFP's face when writing:
Strengths |
Challenges |
| Moving, personal narratives that border on poetry. Good at humorous pieces or with anecdotes. Good with stories of real events, e.g., true crime. Attractive, conversational style. Remember facts. |
Corporate writing stifles them—too impersonal Writing may lack a sense of structure. Struggle with abstract data that lacks detail, a people focus, or both. May ramble off the topic. May miss the big picture |
