ESFJ personality

Growing up as an ESFJ in New Zealand versus France would indeed lead to distinct experiences, values, and behaviors, shaped by the unique cultural, societal, and environmental contexts of each country. Here’s how these differences might manifest:

Work and Professional Life

New Zealand:

The work culture in New Zealand is generally relaxed, with a strong emphasis on work-life balance and a collaborative approach. As an ESFJ, you would likely thrive in a team-oriented environment where your interpersonal skills and ability to create harmony are valued. The informal and egalitarian nature of Kiwi workplaces might also suit your preference for cooperative and supportive working relationships. You would likely enjoy the opportunity to contribute to a positive work environment where everyone’s well-being is considered important.

France:

The French work environment tends to be more formal and hierarchical, with a clear emphasis on professionalism and expertise. As an ESFJ, you might need to navigate the more structured and sometimes rigid expectations of the French workplace. However, your natural ability to manage relationships and maintain social harmony would serve you well in this context, allowing you to build strong professional networks and contribute to a collaborative atmosphere. You might also appreciate the French respect for work-life balance and the importance of leisure, which aligns with your desire to ensure the well-being of those around you.
