Things I thought matched my personality:
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard
and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.

Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. This sometimes results in swift, immediate action taken upon a transgressor, followed by stern reprimand; ultimately, however, the prodigal is wrested from the gallows of their folly, just as the noose tightens and all hope is lost, by the very executioner!
An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner take all.
Things I thought didn't match my personality:
ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.
Commentary:
As I was reading, I definitely saw many traits and characteristics being described that I felt perfectly match my personality, like how ESFJs like to be in control and how making decisions is internally hard. I agreed with most of it, however the part that said ESFJs are easily wounded, I did not feel matched my personality at all. People could say almost anything to me and I would most likely take no offense at all. I have very, very thick skin and don't get hurt very often at all. Also people say I'm often very hard to read because I hide my emotions very well. Sometimes I would say I do wear my heart on my sleeve, but often times no one truly knows how I'm feeling because I conceal it well. Overall though, I thought this was a very interesting test, that I believe was pretty accurate for the most part of my character.
