The Passionate, Life-Loving Performer

Introduction

Live each moment without hesitation.

— Elton John

If anyone is likely to break into song or dance spontaneously, it's ESFPs (Entertainers). They get swept up in the excitement of the moment and want everyone else to feel that way too. When it comes to encouraging others, no type is more generous with their time and energy, and few do it in a style as irresistible as theirs.
