Any tip on how to tell esfj and enfjs apart?
ENFJs tend to project one of the four following things in order from not knowing you that well, to feeling comfortable goofing around with you: 1. Professionalism! 2. Pleasantness. 3. Dorkiness. 4.Hysterical giggling.
ESFJs are outwardly more actively and reactively emotional and project more things and more of those things.
If your EFJ is sobbing, or appears outwardly guarded, or is being smooth or charming, that is probably an ESFJ. If you are thinking, “my what a lot of Fe that person has” like weird MBTI Red Riding Hood.- they’re probably an SFJ.
If you are not that close you will probably not be able to tell immediately when you’ve annoyed an ENFJ. If you’ve annoyed an ESFJ, they are more likely to make that clear.
Appearance-wise, the ESFJs are also way more put together.
