🗒️ Question: As an INTJ-A personality type, what do you like and dislike about some ESFPs and ESTPs? How do you differentiate between those two personality types? How would you, as an INTJ, often behave if you were close friends with an ESTP or ESFP?
📝 Answer: 🔸What I like about some ESFPs:
•¶ Their sense of humor at times, as long as their attempts to make others laugh don't involve bullying, despicable lies and absurd gossip.
•¶ Their ability to give impromptu speeches, offer some words of encouragement or share their opinions when requested to talk at large gatherings, meetings etc.
❎ What I dislike about some ESFPs:
¶• When it can sometimes be challenging to convince ESFPs to do something that they don't actually feel like doing or when you must exert additional effort to remind them about things which they're carrying out incorrectly.
¶• Their tendency to feel easily hurt or offended when you're just trying to advise them or gather accurate information.
🔹What I like about some ESTPs:
•¶ How observant, alert and attentive they can be many times.
•¶ Their stamina and capability of withstanding criticism or supposed insults, and how swiftly a lot of them are able to move on from conflict.
❎ What I dislike about some ESTPs:
¶• Their lousy habit, if they're triggered by jealousy or they are awfully insecure, of instantly evaluating certain individuals based on their outward appearance.
¶• How some ESTPs can seem obnoxiously selfish, tactless and insensitive to those who aren't counted as part of their circle of friends.
📑 How to distinguish ESFPs from ESTPs:
•|° ESFPs are generally more talkative, sociable, comical, sensitive and emotionally aware than most ESTPs.
•|° A lot of ESTPs appear less impulsive and less hasty than ESFPs since many ESTPs would prefer to carefully analyze the probable outcomes of the available options they've been given before proceeding to action. Most ESTPs are more likely to do something because they believe that doing so seems logical or sensibly profitable for them and the group which they're a member of (Fe cognitive function), while ESFPs in general would only do something if it's enjoyable and can benefit them directly (Fi cognitive function).
✅ From the things which I (INTJ) may do if I were friends with an ESTP or ESFP:
1] Regularly go out of my way, online and face to face, to check how they're doing and attentively listen to them rant or describe how they're currently feeling, then offer some words which are hopefully reassuring.
2] Lovingly include them in my Du'as, whether or not I inform them that I pray for their well-being often.
3] Patiently tolerate many of their strange behavior, quirks and goofiness.
4] Willingly go out with them for an outing or adventure if they invite me to try something new, as long as the activities don't contradict my beliefs and values.
5] Prolong dialogues with them online and offline, and ask them random questions about themselves to be more acquainted with them instead of relying on my own assumptions about them.
6] Occasionally support their halal businesses or hobby if they have one.
7] Directly approach them and advise them if I know that they've made an error, instead of letting them sabotage themselves through ignorance or continuity of carrying out the same mistakes.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The believer is one who is trusted by the people. The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and deliberately committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."
