Ask an ESFP anything.

[grey matters]

Unless you are an ESFP that is channeling the spirit of an INTP I do not believe you are an ESFP, and I thought that it was generally agreed that you are not an ESFP. This thread is more like a dear Dr No10diots thread where we ask questions and you try to respond like an ESFP. The fact that you are doing such a poor job of it is amusing.

The problem is that I am an ESFP.

 

[grey matters]

You write like an INTP.

The context of my alias will not apply to every thread that I create. You are presuming that I am acting with this motive.

 

[Artifice Orisit]

Highlighting the presumptions of others is a typical INTP pursuit,

But assuming you are an ESFP I ask you this...
In my dreams I'm telekinetic regardless of being lucid or not, what does this imply about my wakeful persona?

No I simply find it ironic, and amusing.

You're a Wizard (AKA: an INTP).

 

[Artifice Orisit]

At once dissatisfying simple yet factual and succinct.

Your "E" & "P" functions are now proven.

 

[zxc]

The main problem is that you don't write like an ESFP (assuming that they know how to write). Your sentences are well-structured and contain no punctuation mistakes. You're fooling nobody! You must act the fool to fool the rest of us.

Agreed. And I don't agree with the "E" yet. I feel Face could be an INTP- I mean, look at how she critiques and revises small written details in this thread. She's also writing briefly (to try not to reveal the farce) and is pretty defensive. A real ESFP (I haven't met any? But I'm friends with an ESTP) would have lots to say and wouldn't totally pick up on everything.

Also, interested in Go? That's not a typical ESFP thing :-P

CivilianJones decisively defeated me when we played Go. My pride!

You're purpose in society is to entertain, how do you go about doing this?

I play my role as the ESFP. It is all I have to be.

I would like to ask an ESFP!

Theory: ESFP is the personality type most prone to having troll-like behavior, or behavior that can be misinterpreted as troll-like. Do you agree?

 

[Sugarpop]

I am here with possible answers to your inquiries.

Are you a fag?

 

[echoplex]

ENFP would probably be more troll-like in my estimation.

And an ISTJ would be most likely to fall for the troll's tricks.

Interesting. My reasoning for S over N is because Ns typically think before they speak and Ss just speak. A very important troll trait, in my opinion. Curious, what do you think makes ENFP more troll-like? Is it because they're typically more random and less focused?

Well, I suppose it depends on the type of troll being described. I think an N type is more likely to actually fool others into thinking they're real. An S type would probably just insult and/or post spam.

Also, Ne is often described as being able to see things "as if", which I think applies to trolls who engage in roleplaying as someone much different from themselves. Being more random might also make someone seem troll-like, even if they don't mean to be.

 

[cheese]

^Yes. I think trolls with a hidden agenda are more often Ns. S for Spamming. It's the experience of excess and riling up that they enjoy.

ESFPs thrive on attention in the present external world due to their dominant functional preference, extraverted sensing. They are interested in experiencing stimula through interaction in their current social world, which may lead them to creating the circumstances for them to receive attention (ie: being overly melodramtic).

In my opinion, it is probable for an ESFP to manipulate people into providing attention when they are dependent on it for enjoyment with life and it is their primary interest. The methods they utilize to obtain this attention will depend on their character and morals, I think. My morals are low, and I am willing to be ruthlessly seek any attention that I crave.

People have to understand that each type have requirements, and the requirements of a type may seem unusual or wrong to other types. There will be exceptions, of course, but I am referring to the norm I would expect to observe.

An average ESFP may gain attention through an activity at which they are talented, such as acting or poltiics, but other ESFPs might resort to other techniques that could be classified as 'immoral'. Attention is their natural need. It is possible for an ESFP to be intelligent when their other functions are adequately developed, but their motivations will typically revolve around pleasing extroverted sensing (present stimula from the external world) due to it's their dominant process.
