"Their focus on the immediate leaves them with a low tolerance for procedures, routines, and anything else that stands in the way of immediate gratification. The combination of Extraversion, Sensing, and Feeling drives ESFPs to make each moment a successful interpersonal experience. They are very accepting of others and believe others should "live and let live." So strong is the need for harmony that they constantly tend to accentuate the positive, often employing diversionary tactics to circumvent a conflict. If an argument erupts, ESFPs may quickly start a conversation about something pleasant, hoping that the combatants will join in and forget their differences."
"In general, both male and female ESFPs are often misperceived. The spontaneity and immediacy of their nature (Perceiving) and their firm grounding in "what is" (Sensing) as opposed to "what can be" may make the ESFP appear lacking in depth, direction, or purpose. But this is not the case. It's just that their depth, direction and purpose are always interpreted in light of the demands of the existing moment. "I don't need a long-range plan if I make the most of what I'm doing right now," they are likely to say. It is precisely such sentiments that cause them to be perceived as shallow."
So that's why I never think my blogs are all that introspective or "deep". But I'm not really that shallow... it's just that my depth must be interpreted in light of the existing moment.
Somehow, this personality type seems to be serving me well here... since it's completely impossible to make long-range plans in the first place!
