About ESFJ
ESFJ is categorized as sentinels, and they are a consul.
People who share the Consul personality type are popular – which makes sense,
given that it is also a very common personality type, making up twelve percent of the population.
In high school, Consuls are the cheerleaders and the quarterbacks
taking the spotlight and leading their teams forward to victory and fame.
Later in life, Consuls continue to enjoy supporting their friends and loved ones,
organizing social gatherings and doing their best to make sure everyone is happy.

Consuls are altruists, and they take seriously their responsibility to help and to do the right thing. Unlike their Diplomat relatives however, people with the Consul personality type will base their moral compass on established traditions and laws, upholding authority and rules, rather than drawing their morality from philosophy or mysticism. It’s important for Consuls to remember though, that people come from many backgrounds and perspectives, and what may seem right to them isn’t always an absolute truth.
Consuls love to be of service, enjoying any role that allows them to participate in a meaningful way, so long as they know that they are valued and appreciated. This is especially apparent at home, and Consuls make loyal and devoted partners and parents. Consul personalities respect hierarchy, and do their best to position themselves with some authority, at home and at work, which allows them to keep things clear, stable and organized for everyone.
Consuls spend a lot of their energy establishing social order, and prefer plans and organized events to open-ended activities or spontaneous get-togethers. People with this personality type put a lot of effort into the activities they’ve arranged, and it’s easy for Consuls’ feelings to be hurt if their ideas are rejected, or if people just aren’t interested.
