The length of the lines on the preference clarity index (pci) graph above shows how clearly or consistently you chose one
preference over the other in each pair. The longer the line, the more often your answers indicated that preference, and
the more likely it is that the MBTI assessment has accurately reflected your preference.

The length of each line on the graphs shows how consistently you chose one facet pole over the other. The longer the
line, the clearer your preference is for that pole. Scores of 25 that are on the same side as your Step I preference indicate
in-preference results. Scores of 25 on the opposite side of your Step I preference indicate out-of-preference results.
Scores of 0 and 1 are in the midzone and often mean a situational or muted use of either pole.

FACET SCORES AND THE AVERAGE RANGE OF SCORES FOR OTHER ESFJs
The bars on the graph below show the average range of scores that occurred for the ESFJs in the US national sample.
The bars show scores that are 1 to +1 standard deviation from the mean. The vertical line in each bar shows ESFJs mean
score. The bold numbers show the respondents scores.

Polarity Index: 73
The polarity index, which ranges from 0 to 100, shows the consistency of a respondents facet scores within a profile. Most adults
score between 50 and 65, although higher indexes are common. An index that is below 45 means that the respondent has many
scores in or near the midzone. This may be due to mature situational use of the facet, answering the questions randomly, lack of
self-knowledge, or ambivalence about use of a facet. Some such profiles may be invalid.

ESFJ
ESFJ people radiate warmth and fellowship. They prefer to use feeling as a primary
process ... and sensing as a secondary process. Since ESFJ people rely on feeling, they have
a very personal approach to life and judge everything by a set of personal values, accepting
or rejecting accordingly.
As extraverts, ESFJ types focus their favorite process (feeling) on the outer world and
concern themselves chiefly with the people around them. ESFJ people value human contacts
more than anything else. They are friendly, tactful, sympathetic and always able to express
the correct feeling. ESFJ people respond particularly to approval and dislike indifference.
Since ESFJ's derive security from other people's approval, they are ready to agree with other
people's opinions within reasonable limits. They try to live up to their ideals and are loyal
to a respected person, institution or cause ... often to the point of idealizing whatever they
admire.
Since ESFJ's look at things with sensing rather than intuition, they are primarily
interested in the realities of their five senses. This makes them practical, realistic, matter-of-
fact, and concerned with the present. They value material possessions and take great interest
in the details of direct experience. ESFJ people like to base plans and decisions on known
facts, and usually adapt excellently to routine because of the SJ combination.
ESFJ's are best in jobs that deal with people: selling, some kinds of direct
supervision, teaching, preaching, and face-to-face cooperative work. They think best when
talking with people and enjoy talk. They have to make a special effort to be brief and
businesslike and not let sociability slow them on the job.
The ESFJ people like the processes of intuition and thinking least of all. They are,
therefore, not likely to be happy in work that requires analysis, logic or mastery of the
abstract.
Since ESFJ's are judging types, they can neglect using their perception. If they gain
no first-hand knowledge of a person or a situation, they tend to jump to conclusions or act on
assumptions. Thus, they run the risk of judging how things "should" be done instead of
finding out how an organization works or what is wanted. Sometimes failure to perceive is
used as a defense mechanism by ESFJ's so that when faced with a disagreeable fact or
criticism, they may be unable to admit its truth and may try to evade the issue.
