ESFJ
The Consul
Creates the feeling of belonging wherever they go.
How they think
ESFJs think in relationships and responsibilities. They scan a room for who's quiet, who's left out, who might need a top-up of wine or a gentle check-in. Their mental model of a group is always a map of connections they are actively maintaining.
