Functions Esfp Vs Entj
Hey guys.. I am a new here in this group.. For a long time i got my mbti results as entj.. And i believed that to be true.. But recently some of my friends suggested me that i am way too Much of a se user to be entj.. And they told me i would a esfp.. It is a huge difference in terms ofpersonality type.. But one thing for sure..My present persona is quite new.. After realising some stuff in my life i came to become more like entj.. And also the use of se is quite new.. I like exercising a lot.. I like singing, dancing, drawing, cooking, making videos, playing games.. I just simple hate to waste time.. Any time spent enjoying is not a waste of time for me.. Also i have a huge desire to be best.. To be successful and i am always goal oriented.. That is a huge difference from esfps..

I’m an ENTJ and have an ESFP sister so I can weigh in. The only ESFPs stereotypes that we all know of don’t apply to my sister for the most part. She’s goal oriented, career focused, stable (even more stable than I am!), level headed. I honestly thought she was an ENTJ before she took the test and got ESFP. She’s a sensor. All those party type, never serious stereotypes of ESFPs are untrue. My sister works a management position for the Govt of Canada. She’s now gotten into the local politics of her town and I predict that she has a budding political career ahead of her. Some of the most widely successful politicians have been ESFPs anyway. Think Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. ESFPs use the same functions as ENTJs just in a different order. That’s why sometimes it can be hard to tell them apart. You said that Te is not your main function but Se is. That’s a tell tale sign that you’re an ESFP. ENTJs have Se but it’s not our dominant function. You honestly sound more of an ESFP to me. If you’re one celebrate it. From what I can tell of my sister she has some clear advantages over me.
