The ESFJ personality type is an auxiliary function in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type model. Based on Jungian psychological theory, the MBTI was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers in their book "Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®: Guide to the Development of Personality Skills" (1952). The MBTI has become an influential model for understanding personality.
In Jung's psychological typology, the ESFJ type is one of the four auxiliary or auxiliary-function types (useful or auxiliary functions are those that support and fulfill our dominant function). The auxiliary function is unconscious and therefore inaccessible to direct awareness. It is often the source of unconscious motivations. Being an auxiliary function, the ESFJ is not easily seen as a core behavioral trait in itself, but may be more readily noticed for what it does for their dominant function (e.g., ESFJs seek to improve the world by working to advance the interests of others).
Aleksandr Herzen (April 6 1812 – January 21 1870) was a Russian writer and thinker known as the "father of Russian socialism" and one of the main fathers of agrarian populism (being an ideological ancestor of the Narodniki, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Trudoviks and the agrarian American Populist Party). With his writings, many composed while exiled in London, he attempted to influence the situation in Russia, contributing to a political climate that led to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. He published the important social novel "Who is to Blame?" (1845–46). His autobiography, "My Past and Thoughts" (written 1852–1870), is often considered one of the best examples of that genre in Russian literature.
