This article discusses the ESFJ 7w8 and what you can expect from them.

Who is the ESFJ 7w8?

ESFJ 7w8s are cool people with an extra touch of determination. In other words, they know how to have fun and still maintain some sort of balance in their lives. The key to all this is their self-interest. This is not typical for an ESFJ, who often cares more about others.

Granted, the ESFJ 7w8 will still be as charming as ever. However, the lines are quickly drawn when their interests are on the line. Because of their wings, ESFJ 7w8s can seem brave and confrontational when needed. In a way, they can be anything they need to be.

Type 7 is a somewhat common type of ESFJ. One reason could be its similarities with type 2.

Nevertheless, the combined presence of 7w8 changes some typical traits of the ESFJ, as we shall soon see.

ESFJ 7w8s are more likely to be assertive than turbulent.

What is the Core Desire of the ESFJ 7w8?

The core desire of the ESFJ 7w8 is to be happy. They try to avoid situations that sap them of their joy or distractions.

Life, to them, is meant to be enjoyed.

What is the Core Fear of the ESFJ 7w8?

The core fear of the ESFJ 7w8 is to be stuck in a rut or trapped. They don’t want to be trapped with no way out. To prevent this, they react quickly to any situation that threatens to limit their options.

How the 7w8 Changes Some of the Natural Tendencies of the ESFJ

1.   Slightly More Extroverted

ESFJs are super extroverts. ESFJ 7w8s are even slightly higher. This personality type is not just popular but might have a wild side too. This makes them extremely likable.

If their wing is strong, they will have boundaries on how far is too far. The bottom line is that ESFJ 7w8s are the masters of good vibes.

2.   Even Higher Energy Levels

This follows the last point. Their higher extroverted levels will generally lead to higher energy levels. However, the extra energy they get might not be distributed evenly across their routine. It might come out as random bursts of energy.

While this is true, because their normal energy levels are already high, the drop-offs will not be too noticeable.

3.   Less Organized

ESFJs are often super organized, which is probably due to their introverted sensing (Si) function. ESFJ 7w8s are different. Their organization loses some of its shine.

Thus, they’re a bit reckless. This might be caused by type 7’s desire to avoid any form of commitment, including organization. Other type 7 traits, such as procrastination, can compound this issue.

4.   Slightly Less Disciplined

This follows the last point. An obvious consequence of procrastination and disorganization is decreased discipline. ESFJ 7w8s will change their routines, actions, and decisions quicker than typical ESFJs.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it helps them cultivate the next trait on this list.

5.   More Creative

ESFJs can be creative. However, ESFJ 7w8s have creativity as part of their core trait. Type 7 is a master of thinking outside the box. Here’s why. Type 7 simply does not want to do things the hard way. So, if there’s an easier way to complete a task, they’ll find it.

This, combined with type 8’s determination, takes their creativity to the next level.

6.   Milder People-Pleasing Tendencies

ESFJs are consuls for a reason; they understand people. This is down to their extroverted feeling function. This also inevitably means they become people-pleasers. ESFJ 7w8s are slightly different.

While they understand people, they always put themselves first when the chips are down. This is driven by a need to avoid being stuck.

People’s desires are met when they need to be charming.

New Weaknesses of the ESFJ 7w8

1.   Fear+Anger

Type 7 is in the fear triad, while type 8 is in the anger triad. Thus, ESFJ 7w8s will try to avoid their fears or worries by focusing on vices. When this fails, they will angrily confront their troubles.

While all this is true, ESFJ 7w8s will still seek an amicable solution because of their Fe function.

2.   More Impulsive

The presence of type 7 will make ESFJ 7w8s more impulsive. Their newfound impulsiveness will impact their lives in many ways, including becoming more financially negligent.

Their impulsiveness also naturally leads to rushed decisions, which can lead to bad career choices.

3.   The Fear of Commitment

As mentioned earlier, ESFJ 7w8s are not big on commitment. Their fear is being stuck with no way out, and this fear has consequences.

For example, ESFJ 7w8s will be less keen to remain in one job or industry. They are also likely to have strong opinions about their work settings.

4.   The Problem of Boredom

Like most type 7s, ESFJ 7w8s will struggle with boredom. The lure of shiny new things is real for them. This problem impacts their business, romantic relationships, and much more.

ESFJ 7w8s need to remember that all that glitters is not gold. Losing what you have to gain more is not always the smartest move.
