ESFJ

The Caretaker

also known as The Facilitator

Core value: community

ESFJs orient to the world through the feelings of those around them, and hold a detailed inward memory of the people and places that matter. This combination makes them the reliable caretakers of community — noticing what others miss, remembering what others forget.
