Ok i'm sorry but E7 doesn't make sense for the archetypical ESFP. I get that people vote E7 because it's a very pleasure-seeking type that just likes to have fun, but 2s and 8s are just as pleasure-seeking and hedonistic as 7s, except with a much more physical focus. One of the traits of E7 is a complete disregard for living in the present moment, in favor of more exciting new ideas and future possibilities, constantly thinking about how things could be better than they presently are, which is why it's in the idealistic triad along with 1s and 4s. So why would ESFP, a type that thrives in the here and now, be E7 which actively avoids the dullness of the present? ESFPs are much more likely to be 2s or 8s and i think the main reason people believe otherwise is that there is a huge amount of misinformation around those two types, resulting in people believing that 2s are just goody two-shoes that go around spreading love and christmas joy, while 8s are perpetually angry people who just go around breaking stuff and would beat the sh*t out of you if you dared look at them. so yeah, E7 doesn't make that much sense for an Se dom, although it's for sure in their tritype.
Biography
1. Se - extroverted Sensing Se is the main way SeFi’s take in information. It means they use their senses to understand the world around them. They live in the moment and prefer dealing with things that are real and solid over the purely hypothetical. Se is the part of SeFi’s that makes them search out playful new sensory experiences. 2. Fi - introverted Feeling Although it’s referred to as “Feeling”, Fi is not internal emotions, but rather values that come from within. SeFi’s might experience a deep well of emotions, but this is not the root of Fi. It is a decision making-process that makes them very interested in determining their own moral code and what the SeFi’s gut instinct tells them is right, which is often based on how they would like to be treated themselves. They tend to be very considerate of others, and may take a long time to mull over their own beliefs to make sure they seem right. The values-refining process can take quite a bit of time and requires mental solitude. Fi generally puts authenticity in high esteem and is repulsed by anything that seems fabricated or shallow. 3. Te - extroverted Thinking Te is the SeFi’s third function. Te is a very logic-oriented way of problem solving. It is the side of them that naturally looks to find a better solution to a problem, improve the efficiency of a process, or critique and refine what is already in place. SeFi’s are pretty balanced between this quick, decisive efficient way of making decisions and the pondering, value-driven decision making process of their Fi. 4. Ni - introverted iNtuition Ni is the SeFi’s last function and may be their achilles heel, and is inherently not as strong as their other functions because their highest priority and focus is on Se. Ni allows them to pull from every area in their brain to find valuable data, to look for patterns in the information they gather, or to skip ten steps ahead and predict what will happen in the future. Ni makes their internal world abstract and can involve jumping around on intuitive leaps. In the SeFi, Ni might give them the sense that it’s okay to not have everything figured out. Overuse of an inferior function can be very draining, and may be unhealthy when constantly given priority over other functions.
