From my experience in assessing Human Personality using Myer-Briggs Type Indicator, I found that Parenting Style is the key factor that shape Human Adult Behavior.

After my initial research on Wild Animal, I found many striking similarity between the Behavior of Animal and Human with the same parenting style.

In this article, I’ll compare some interesting behavior of Dolphins and Human ESFPs. For full list of Animal Personality type and all citation, please click the sign on the right of this column.

Kindly note that I’m not a defender of my theory. I have strong determination to improve the accuracy and usability of this theory. Critical Analysis & Constructive Recommendation are highly appreciate.

ESFPs are vivacious entertainers who charm and engage those around them. They are spontaneous, energetic, and fun-loving, and take pleasure in the things around them: food, clothes, nature, animals, and especially people.

ESFPs are typically warm and talkative and have a contagious enthusiasm for life. They like to be in the middle of the action and the center of attention. They have a playful, open sense of humor, and like to draw out other people and help them have a good time. They enjoy taking pleasure in the things around them: food, clothes, nature, animals, and especially people.

Social Behavior, Altruism and Conflicts:-

ESFPs:

One of ESFPs greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend.

They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need.

However, once crossed, an ESFPs is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.

Dolphins:

Dolphins are highly social animals, often living in pods of up to a dozen individuals. Membership in pods is not rigid; interchange is common.

They will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed. This altruism does not appear to be limited to their own species. The Dolphin Moko in New Zealand has been observed guiding a female Pygmy Sperm Whale together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times. They have also been seen protecting swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging the sharks to make them go away.

Dolphins engage in acts of aggression towards each other. The older a male dolphin is, the more likely his body is to be covered with bite scars. Male dolphins engage in acts of aggression apparently for the same reasons as humans: disputes between companions and competition for females. Dolphins have also been known to kill porpoises for reasons which are not fully understood.

Sensing:-

ESFPs:

ESFPs are especially tuned into their senses and take pleasure in the sights, sounds, smells, and textures around them. They often gravitate towards pleasing colors and textures in their environments.

ESFPs has excellent sense of space and function and take great pleasure in objects of aesthetic beauty. They’re likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food, good wine, beautiful possessions, nice clothes and an artfully furnished home.

Dolphins:

Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and they can hear frequencies ten times or more above the upper limit of adult human hearing.

The Dolphin’s sense of touch is also well-developed, with free nerve endings densely packed in the skin, especially around the snout, pectoral fins and genital area. However, dolphins lack an olfactory nerve and lobes, and thus are believed to have no sense of smell. They do have a sense of taste and show preferences for certain kinds of fish.

Dolphins show various types of playful behavior, often including objects, self-made bubble rings, other dolphins or other animals. When playing with objects or small animals, common behavior includes carrying the object or animal along using various parts of the body, passing it along to other members of the group or taking it from another member, or throwing it out of the water.

Sexual:-

ESFPs:

ESFPs are very sexual beings. They are a very earthy and sensual individual who seeks and enjoys intimate contact with their partners. Living in the here-and-now, they thoroughly embrace and enjoy the experience with all five senses. They are generous and warm, and highly interested in making their partners happy.

Dolphins:

Dolphin copulation happens belly to belly; though many species engage in lengthy foreplay, the actual act is usually brief, but may be repeated several times within a short time span. They usually become sexually active at a young age, even before reaching sexual maturity.

Dolphins are known to display non-reproductive sexual behavior, engaging in masturbation, stimulation of the genital area of other individuals using the rostrum or flippers, and homosexual contact. Male dolphins may also work together and attempt to herd females in estrus, keeping the females by their side by means of both physical aggression and intimidation. Some may use weeds and sticks as part of a sexual display. Occasionally, dolphins behave sexually towards other animals, including humans.
